Seen more clips but still......

[SilentLoner]

I have seen more and more clips of the game and I keep thinking the traffic density is a bit sparse. Anyone else think this?

[plastik]

I've seen double lanes of traffic about 3 or 4 cars deep stopped at traffic lights in one video, which is a fair amount more than you'd see in previous games

[redbaren]

its different in other areas.

[motorcity man]

yeah thats the only thing that i have noticed but people say its part of the story in the begining. and it changes alot

[hughesie27]

It changes depending on the time of day and where in the city you are.

 

[killahmatic]

listen, ive seen about 30 gameplay videos (2 illegal) and ive seen everything from few cars, to 14 cars in screen (which made it feel crowded). there will be differences depending on time of day & location. U cant expect it to have 100% as many cars as the real NEW YORK, that would be dumb. They've added enough traffic to make it look busy at times, but they've kept the traffic level low enough for us to travel through.

Something that isn't sparse are these f*cking topics about peds and vehicles. Why does anybody really care? People should be f*cking glad they're getting anything!

It is indeed part of the story, because there is a terror alert at the start of the game, which restricts the area of the city you are able to travel through, much like the restrictions in previous GTA games. The reduced traffic (cars and peds) is directly linked to this event. Later in the game, traffic increases

Do you know this for a fact? Or this your opinion?

[tommy vs. claude]

Any confirmation on how long it takes before the terror threat is over?

I don't give a sh*t.. HEEEHEHEH...

Yep i think that the terrorist alert affects the ped and trafic density at the start.

I dont really mind about traffic, makes it more fun racing around, think about it.. if there was billions of traffic ud just crash all the time and youll have to drive slow.

I don't know for certain, but on my friend's PS3 version it certainly seemed to have an effect. It became noticeably busier afterwards.

You probably have to complete a certain mission before its unlocked like in the other GTA games.

they didnt give me f*cking game for free

[Crazymotionride]

maybe they kept it lower in the beginning as a sort of tutorial to get used to the driving physics before you have to weave through tons of traffic and have the traffic increase later on to increase the difficulty a bit

[zooloo75]

i hope it is part of the terorist threat part of the story.

Because really...i was expecting a load of heavy traffic.

maybe it would more realistic with heavy traffic on streets but in the end you wouldnt like to be stocked in some jam
