Slick Willy Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've read plenty of GameInformer articles over the past few months and one of them cited developers as promising realistic traffic/ped patterns across the city. Specifically, bumper to bumper traffic and loads of peds in high-congestion areas. I doubt they would blatantly lie about that. We'll just have to wait and play it for ourselves.

FlyBoyP Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah I can careless about peds and traffic. Regular NYC traffic would be insane, even think about doing missions that involve driving/chasing people. Crashing into a bunch of sh*t, being slowed down. Its just fine.

PM me please explaining what you mean me also please pm me too. i think I might know though isn't it because that part of the city is shut down due to a terrorist threat?

Deuce Deuce Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'll put it in spoilers so anyone can read it at their will, however I'm not sure how true this is but it does seem logical and I guessed as much: You may or not already know, the other boroughs are blocked off at the start because of a terrorist attack. The lack of peds reflects this and at the start, not many peds can be seen driving, walking or whatever. Later on in the game when you unlock the other boroughs (how many, I'm unsure of) it's all over. Somehow. But yeah, as I say I don't how true that is but read it at your own will. I was told this and obviously couldn't help not listening. But there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowZa28 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This is Liberty City, not New York City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Deuce Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This is Liberty City, not New York City. And the game wasn't based off New York City all together? R* didn't just copy the layout of real-life NYC, they also monitored the level of presence at different times of day, at different parts, the weather cycle and how it changes throughout the months. Considering this, there must be a logical reason - of which I think is probably to do with what I said in my post above (in spoilers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laguna_Megane_Forever Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) I dont know what to think,is it true what they say?

chitoryu12 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I dont know what to think,is it true what they say? The traffic is low,also number of pedstrians on the screen screams last generation consoles while Gta4 should be next generation,right?,please someone say it isn't so Next-generation does not automatically mean bigger and better in everything. Some things just can't be done with this level of detail. It would be different if it was a game where a mission required you to chase a guy on foot through rush-hour traffic in Times Square or something where realistic traffic patterns are actually required. If they tried to perfectly simulate NYC without making everyone's Xbox and PS3 explode, the car chases would consist of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, taking occasional potshots at each other while moving a few feet every couple minutes. Besides, every trailer, leaked video, and live feed I've seen shows far more traffic than previous games. Hell, in San Andreas even at rush hour there were three or four cars at a traffic light and maybe two driving on the other lane. Sometimes I would spend about ten to fifteen seconds without even a bicycle passing by. In one leaked vid, Niko slammed right into at least a dozen cars bumper-to-bumper at an exit.

BagOfBeans Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I remember reading in an article somewhere that peds would flee at the sound of gunfire, do maybe they just ran away. I haven't see the trailer yet though, so I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
