Jayt001 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Shooting the engine shouldn't make it explode. Shooting the petrol tank on the other hand should. If you look at trailer 3 though, when the car explodes as the bike goes past. If you look carefully the car is already on fire, like in the other games, with fire coming from the engine area.

BobbyUK Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 it seems a bit high for a gas tank eh? could be one of those saftey features, that allows you to put items in the van without opening the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyUK Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 yeah dude you are completely spot on. seems odd to not have caps as a marker for the fuel tank, its like rockstar don't want you to blow the cars up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyUK Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 dont know, seems a bit thin, like license plates not being added is understandable but the cap would be part of the model, seems a bit of a strange way to build it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny04 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I hope if our cars stop working we can call a tow truck to come take them somewhere and fix them. I bet Rockstar has thought of something like this. What? I don't see how it's above Rockstar. They've already put working computers in the game and other mundane aspects. This actually makes sense compared to some of the stuff they've put into GTA4. Why would calling a tow truck and having your stolen car town around make sense????? Just seems a bit pointless and boring. GTA: SimLife anyone What if you spent several hours modding it and it took you a while to get it? I'm sure no one would care if a normal car broke down. They'd just get another one. But I know a few people that liked modding cars in San Andreas and would b**** and moan when the car they'd just spent 5 minutes modding flipped over and exploded. It's not as stupid as having Niko eat steak or making him sleep. This is actually relevant to the gameplay and adds to the immersion. So, what exactly do you not like about the idea? There is nothing wrong with eating steak pie There will be both explosions and cars failing, don't worry Tow trucks are a relevant point, and will no doubt make it into the game. Saints row had this feature where if you're modded car got wrecked it could be towed to your garage, and fixed for a price of $500. This is a good idea ad I would use it, especially if its a nice rare car, or a modded one. So yeh cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTASIX Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 "1 button to jack and another to start the engine" It always was. Triangle to jack, X to "start engine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaJones Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) I think it will happen in 1 of 3 ways: 1.) The car will just stop working if it is in a major wreck but weapons can set it on fire and blow it up. 2.) The car will get to a point where it stops working and farther damage WILL blow it up. So think of the car as having a health bar; 95% damage and it stops working and 100% sets it on fire and it will blow up. (I think this is the most likely as R* said they "are going for realism but not at the cost of making the game less fun" or something like that) 3.) Classic GTA style...but I doubt this as GTA IV seems compleatly re-worked as was GTA III... "1 button to jack and another to start the engine" It always was. Triangle to jack, X to "start engine". No it wasn't! it was: Triangle to jack and start car & X to accelerate...play the game and you will see that the car starts before you ever press X...

ceedot Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The controls will most likely be: to get in the car. to turn on the car and accelerate. to brake. for looking left. for looking right. to shoot. to break window and be able to shoot out window. for hand-brake to choose weapon.

If they're going so far as to include a button to turn the car on then I agree with you except I think maybe + will turn the car off...after all it seems kind of weird that they would go to such a detail to have a turn on button and not one to turn the car off...and since pretty much all driving games use and to drive what do you think will do? I think it will probably be: turn on/accelerate brake shoot thrown weapon (gernades, molotovs, etc.) change radio station change weapon enter/jack car ??? maybe break window? ??? maybe break window? +swivel - look around +swivel - steer +push - side missions +push - horn view pause menu/map Edited February 7, 2008 by fishing4monkeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTASIX Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ok to answer the topic question. The engines do just cut out instead of blowing up it said in that german magazine. (topic is somewhere near the top in official board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragered Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 hahah imagine a slight chance this could happen [maybe on older cars]: cops are chasing u and u manage to find a car break into it but the bastard wont start on first go XD and the cops are running up to the car ur like "plz start plz start" then starts up just in time when cop opens door and u take off and leave him ragdolling in the street cos he fell over opening the door id also like to see a chance of when totaling ur car to be able to restart it succsessfuly in like 1/10 times but if it suffers another collsion to the engine its gone for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
