Xbox World 360 on car damage system in GTA4

[shadoolaw]

 

Pretty f*cking incredible if true, when you consider how small a part of GTA4 that car damage actually is, and how big it is in racing games.

i really look forward to better car damage....the previous gtas had obvious pre-modeled damage presets or whatever...they all looked similar if you did the same thing!

I'm just glad that cars won't blow up after only a few shots this time around. It takes a lot more, which makes sense, especially since they can also be used as cover now.

 

Love this pic:

 

 

Look at those bulletholes! All varied and great-looking.

damn i cant wait

[TruXter]

Looks like the one hole with the best appearance, looks like it is floating next to the car.

Typical grand theft auto image layers.

i am so Ghastered and flabbered its crazy man i wanna play bad its almost as bad as havin an itch on ur nuts and not being able to scratch it

 

[rebalrouser]

I like the 2nd screen shot because look at the paint around the bullet holes, burnt away...awesomeness

[flappy188]

complete and utter radness

[slick_j_2002]

Does anyone else not realize why the taillight is exploding in that first shot?

Six days, man. By the way, this same mag called GTA4 "perhaps the greatest videogame of all-time".

there is a bullet hole in the side see? he has an smg, not the most accurate weapon, so it probably skimmed the far and went a bit into tail light

Either Niko hit his head on it or that guy has shot All the way through the car and it has come through the rear Light

Is it possible that a bullet(s) went through the car, and exited out through the taillight from the inside?

That's more unlikely. The taillight looks too far in on the inside for a bullet to have hit it by skimming on the side.

[nadalcameron]

I think your looking at the wrong picture. The one with the tail light exploding has him with a Pistol, and the other guy has a shotgun. No SMG involved.

[rebalrouser]

he very first pic... my bad looks like an SMG in the distance. still plausible though

[shadoolaw]

That's definitely a shotgun that other guy is holding.

It turns out theres a law that says:

"the easiest explanation is most likely the right one"

 

The easiest explanation?

There is another shooter off screen.

 

It is all perspective people, this is a frozen tiny capture of an entire world.

Yeah, I already considered that earlier.

 

And then I looked at the mini-map, and realized no, that's not the case.

Ahh But your wrong. look at the Minimap closley. There is a guy behind the shooter. obviously off the screen. and he is at a better angle that that guy and probably has a much clearer Shot at niko. thus missing and shooting the tail light.

[shadoolaw]

For someone off-screen to hit that taillight he would have to be either off to the side of or behind the arrow on the mini-map, which is Niko. I'm pretty sure the guy that Niko is practically on top of in the mini-map is that same guy shooting at him in the pic.

Something tells me that JFK will factor into this theory at some point...

not burnt away, chipped

[shadoolaw]

Well, the simplest answer is that one or more of the bullets from the shotgun went through the car and exited out of the taillight. Why not? Especially since there's a bullet spread. And it busted the window, too, so the bullets are definitely going through the car. Okay, it's solved.

Shotguns don't fire bullets...
