SweatyPa1ms Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 How come it never snows in liberty city, is it to much for the physics engine to handle. I think snow would make the game alot more interesting, especially if you could ski or have snowball fights. The car crashes would be brilliant aswell.

Columbo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 That would indeed be awesome. I think there's a mod somewhere that enables it. On a side note, I believe Mafia II will have seasons. Don't chop my head off, but I think Mafia II will be even better than GTA IV.

NemonicLee Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It looks pretty awesome. The only thing that is not that great about the mod is that the snow can never move.

Ripper666GER Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Strange...Just today I thought "it would be sooo great if there where seasons in GTA world" EDIT: But think how difficult it would be to have snow. It melts, and it´s heavier than rain, so every snowflake would need its own physics. Um..u know what I mean^^ Imagine, snow all around you, yu walk into savehouse, save, go out again, and all that snow is gone... Guess the snow itself would need an own physic engine Edited October 26, 2009 by Ripper666GER Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/429832-no-snow/#findComment-1059586825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweatyPa1ms Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I dosent snow because GTA IV takes place in fall 2008 I'm sorry but I need to correct you there, firsly its pronouced 'autumn' not 'fall'. Secondly, not all of GTA is realistic, so how do you know it doesn't snow in a particular season of a fictional city (Liberty City). Lets just hope they have snow in the next edition of GTA... (GTA IV - Vice City or London?) I really hope they do release another game. GTA is too much of accomplishment to be discontinued. It is the leader of sandbox games by a long way and there is still so much to be done... free running, grapple hook, planes, extreme sports and a destruction engine to name a few idea's. I hope people dont drift away from GTA with Just Cause 2 and all the other new games coming out. I'll promise you now that none of them will have a physics engine as good as GTA IV. Which for me is its USP (unique selling point). I am looking forward to a few games myself but I wont declare them as I have to much respect for GTA and feels wrong to help promote other games. Thats passion. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/429832-no-snow/#findComment-1059587587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats passion. Autumn (also known as fall in North American English). Regardless of what you say, autumn or fall, both are correct. And to reply to the topic. What is the point? For the snow then to be realistic, the roads will be harder to drive on, people will then complain about that, cause you can't drive as fast. Pointless really.

TheBruceter Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Snow would be good but as people have said, the physics for snow itself would be hard. Prints in the snow, icey areas and the way the snow falls. Would be difficult to code up.

visionist Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Fully realistic snow which falls, piles up and melts and affects the whole game is gonna be a true next Gen feature. It was R* who wussed out with IV by not bothering to even attempt it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/429832-no-snow/#findComment-1059590772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't chop my head off, but I think Mafia II will be even better than GTA IV. Wanna know an interesting fact? And I didn't realize this either BUT... the developers of Mafia II are 2K Czech - a subsidiary of 2K Games (the publisher) WHICH IN TURN is a subsidiary of Take 2 Interactive - who has a little subsidiary called Rockstar Games who creates and publishes the GTA franchise. What I'm trying to say is... the money stays all up in the family I don't know why they just don't get together to create the ultimate franchise Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/429832-no-snow/#findComment-1059592438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyClifton Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Digressing a bit: Has anyone played the original Tenchu game? They had the snow off to a fine art, and the effects of walking through it and crunching along. Brilliant.
