banxter667 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Seems to me that along with the bikes handling better than they ever did (well, like they should have in the first place) that the cars also are easier to control, especially in powerslides. Before the DLC, if I tried to powerslide a corner or a uturn, I'd end up in a series of donuts, now it just takes a little countersteer (as it should) and I'm good to go. Anybody else notice the stealth car handling fix besides me? Or is my head playing tricks on me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdestroyer Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Quite the opposite, i think they have reduced the handling of cars, to show that Johnny is more of a biker then a driver. But thats just how im feeling with the cars, maybe just because im so use to the bikes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSilentDeath Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Maybe bikers are better drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Zone Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well they said 'New and improved bike handling and physics.' 'and physics.' They just probably refined all of the physics in the game, tweaked it a bit to help people out. I feel the same way, driving is a tad bit easier to say the least.

Enjoii Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 But thats just how im feeling with the cars, maybe just because im so use to the bikes now. I also felt that a bit. I rarely use bikes other than the Sanchez in GTA IV due to the fact I didn't like the handling and also the ease of which Niko came flying off. Now that they're both fixed (I actually flipped a car yesterday by driving into it on a bike, lol) in this DLC package I've been using them a lot more and rarely used cars.

Dome Piece Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Its only better to you because you cannot obviously handle oversteer. There is ALOT less oversteer with the cars now, and I don't like it as much. The new physics suits the bikes, but not the cars for me. It's been made too easy imo.

usherftw Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think it's great, just a touch of the handbrake and woosh, makes a perfect turn everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekisazombie Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 nah they really didnt change the cars at all man. its just your getting used to the bikes. They REALLY put a lot of stress on you to just use your bike and while the bikes are worked in really great and all i dont like how they force you to ride one and when your the leader of the gang you HAVE to have that hexer. you would think they would give him a cooler bike than that.

gamesguru Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The sports bikes seem harder to control to me, possibly showing how Johnny can't adapt to anything other than a Chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have changed the cars. There is no doubt about it, I even went back to check the original handling of the cars. It is now harder to pull of more advanced drifting or sideways action! The cars turn in quicker with less oversteer, and you cannot hold it as long as you could in the Vanilla version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotland4life Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think they have been improved as well. Its just so much easier now to turn a tight corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, I generally do quite well with oversteer 99% of the time, but you have to admit, the way the cars were set up originally in IV was a tad too much. Sure, Banshees/Infernus/SabreGT/Ruiner/etc. should have a certain degree of heavy oversteer, being big rear wheel drive torque machines, but a Blista Compact or a Regla or something similar has no right to having as many lateral G's as an 8/10/12 cylinder engine. On the other hand, I'll admit that when they did fix the oversteer, they over-fixed it, since now it's difficult to get anything at all to do a burnout or donut unless you just hold gas/brake and turn, which takes no skill whatsoever.
