Himuro Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Gamesradar had this tidbit in their preview and I haven't seen anyone bring this up. See, there are two ways for Niko to steal a police cruiser: find one on the street and smash its window to gain entry, or wreak as much havoc as possible and let the the law come to him. Thankfully, the Rockstar reps showing us the game took the latter route, and Niko whipped out a pistol and fired wildly into traffic. Pedestrians ran screaming, and cars crashed into each other in a panicked attempt to escape. One SUV driver actually ducked down behind her dashboard when she saw that Niko was aiming at her, then swerved blindly before hauling ass in the opposite direction. Only a few people actually got hurt, but the important thing was that the assault worked as intended: a pair of chubby cops showed up in seconds and started screaming at Niko to drop his weapon. Holy crap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmfloorpie Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 That bit about "they crash into other cars trying to escape" reminds me of in the last gen of games when the AI was soooo stupid and they'd just ram into/run over anything even if it meant killing other peds/you or making their car blow up...

Himuro Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 they continue with this The cops started out by taking cover behind their open car doors, but then - in direct contrast to the surprising intelligence of the dashboard-ducking SUV driver - they let themselves be lured away from the car, enabling Niko to double back and effortlessly steal it out from under them. Without so much as wounding the cops, Niko left them in his dust, running down an unlucky pedestrian on the way and flinging him, screaming and hilarious, into the air. Another pedestrian was unfortunate enough to get in Niko's way as he barreled around a tight curve; the guy screamed, fell on his ass in an attempt to get away and got creamed by the car anyway, prompting a loud wince from everyone watching.

Himuro Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 MR: So it looks like our early worries about the tone being too grim and realistic may have been unfounded.CB: I agree. Somehow, everything looks far more realistic... but still cartoonish and definitely not real. Why do you think we still find the violence funny and not disturbing? The graphics are much more realistic, after all. MC: With corpse physics like that, it's difficult not to laugh. We're meant to find it funny. Right? CB: Everything is still over-the-top enough… JUST. It's hard to take that too seriously. Hard to get too offended when it's so cartoonish in nature, even if not cartoonish in graphics anymore. MC: I thought it was more outrageously over-the-top than ever. It definitely showed that GTA's action is still massively spontaneous and unpredictable. … The way cops take cover and fight with a bit of brain massively helps. Old GTA firefights used to seem a little too disorderly. MR: They're not so smart that Niko couldn't lure them away from their car. I was kind of surprised how seemingly easy that was, considering they've built up the cops in previous demos as these omnipotent monsters that you don't want to piss off. CB: Well, these were the first-alert cops, after all. I hope the inevitable SWAT teams and FBI dudes would react more intelligently and ruthlessly. MC: Two of the cops (in the UK demo) took cover behind the open doors of their vehicle, only for Niko to collide with it and knock them flying. CB: Awesome, we didn't see that. MR: Sounds nasty. But hilarious. omg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceedot Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 That sounds good. The cops want just shoot you, and the ped A.I. sounds amazing. Ye it really does. It will make the city come to life. I really think Rockstar have outdone themselfs and everyone else, and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Its great that it contains awesome non cartoonish graphics, but still manages to be over the top and not too realistic when it comes to gameplay thank god. Cant wait to play it. Rockstar have worked incredibly hard to literally start from scratch and redo everything. It's going to be frigging awesome.

GTASIX Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 you know they said you can phone 911 and then ambush the police when they come (this was a mission) do you think you can do it when your not on a mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 This is very nice "During a short trip across town we noticed two cool examples of the Liberty City world living its life. At one point a disappointed ped was seen with bonnet up peering helplessly into his car’s innards, blocking traffic along a street. At another point, a cop was seen with gun drawn on driver who leant with hands up against his pulled over car. Bad luck mate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
