my ideas for new hand to hand/melee mechanics.

TL; DR

 

It should be like IV with smoother combat and better transitions between targets

you forgot the ability to hit multiple targets at once, which i planned on adding (although my system already allows you to throw one enemy into another).

The protag doesn't necessarily have to be a kung fu master. Just be able to take on multiple opponents more easily. In IV once you hot into a fighting stance it was hard to maneuver the character around, and fighting more than 2 opponents unarmed was difficult.

 

A grapple mechanic would be cool, where you can hold an opponent a feed him punches and knees then through him into other opponents a la double dragon.

 

Also there should be a melee button when holding a firearm so you can pistol whip, or rifle butt them silently.

I think it would be improved massively with just a few simple combo's and better handling.

 

Melee is almost useless in GTA because it's so clunky and horrible. In every situation, you use a gun which always ends up you getting in a car and driving away because of cops. Can't even walk down a street and have a decent fight for their hard earned cash they're carrying.

As long as I can learn different various moves and styles like SA, I'll be happy. GTA doesn't need anything too complex.

i agree the police in GTA IV ruined the fun or random "ped fights", they should respond much less agressively to fistfights in GTA V.

Yeah they should behave the way they did at the end of Rocky V. Hold the gathering crowd back & arrest the loser. tounge.gif

i was thinking they should behave in a more ralistic manner; they should break up fights but not arrest anyone unless a weapon is being used.

Funny, i made this exact topic over a year ago with similar ideas, always wanted a combat mode, GTA fighting mechanics should be much more in-depth, a proper fighting system would be brilliant.

 

Just searched actually i didn't make this topic, but i think i might still have the draft of the topic saved somewhere.

MY Idea for a new combat system

 

L stick move -- R stick camera

Square/X -- Counter LEFT

Triangle/Y -- Strike

Circle/B -- Counter RIGHT

X/A-- Dodge - Double tap to break a grab

 

Strikes are all contextual, depending on the position of you, your opponent(s) and the environment. Counters are used depending on which hand/foot the attacker is using to punch/kick you. Dodges are used instead of counters when fighting enemies with baseball bats, in which case you must press A+B or A+X depending on which side they are swinging from. Enemies with knives/broken bottles take TWO Presses on the counter button. Enemies might make more than one attempt to hit you before you can deliver a counter in which case you will have to keep hitting to counter button, again depending on the hand/foot used by the opponent. Some Examples using PS3 controls:

One Enemy tries to punch player with his right hand. Player presses Circle, immediatly the opponent follows up with a punch with his left hand, player presses Square, finally the opponent tries to kick the player with his right leg, player presses Circle, then Triangle.........

An enemy grabs player from behind as two knife-wielding thugs attempt to stab him, both holding their knives in their right hands, player quickly double-taps X then taps circle four times....You get the picture.

 

Your combo can be built up, but there are no specials/insta takedowns. But as your combo builds up your character animations will start to get less Niko Bellic and more Bruce Lee.

 

The quicker you are with the counter button, the more brutal/effective your counter will be, and the more chance there will be of a stun/knockdown/disarm/knockout of your enemy, the quicker you are at striking, the less chance you enemy will absorb the blow/block it. The former chances go up and the latter go down as your enemies get more tired/battered. Different types of enemies could be faster/more resiliant etc.

 

Don't know how this would actually work, no way to test it, but it seems pretty good to me - it relies on speed and awareness of your opponent. It does sound pretty difficult to learn. There could be icons above each enemy which appear/disapper telling you when/what to counter, of course these could be turned off later for ultimate badassery. devil.gif

 

Combine that with optional slow-mo effects, blood/injury physics, new bone-cruching/nose-breaking sound effects and this sounds like a good system IMO.

i quite like it, it looks like it was inspired by the combat systems from batman: arkham asylum and sleeping dogs.

notes:

- controls are based on the Xbox 360 controller.

- the combat style is based on an older (40+) "out of shape" protagonist, and involves no acrobatics.

- you must hold down the LT to go into hand to hand mode.

- this IS NOT a wishlist thread, it's objective is to get constructive feedback on my ideas.

 

status effects:

 

- dazed: dazed opponents are vulnerable to powerfull attacks.

- stunned: when stunned an NPC will be vulnerable to the most powerfull attacks, and grapples.

- downed: a downed NPC is vulnerable to grapples and "coups de grâce".

 

 

wounds:

 

- bleeding: NPC constantly loses HP untill they collapse and die, cannot run.

- broken arm: melee damage and attack speed -30%, shooting accuracy -20%, reload speed - 40%. (for each arm)

- broken leg: cannot kick or run, - 45% movement and attack speed. 2 broken legs causes instant K.O.

- broken skull: NPC is disoriented and will eventually collapse, cannot run.

- broken ribs: melee damage taken + 80%, cannot run.

 

note: firearms can also cause wounds, the chance of them doing so is based on their power (penetration) level (low = 20%, med = 40%, high = 70%, very high = 100%, maximal = 100%).

So whichever button combination I press, I'll get something? Geez, I'll stick to keyboard and mouse.

Yeah, man. I really like this. I doubt (given all the ideas that must float across the developer's table) that they'll get this in-depth with the melee mechanics, but it would sure be nice to see combos.

 

There have been many times in GTA IV when I've wished to have a grab / grapple function--mainly to grab women's asses, but I digress. :-)

 

It would make it a whole lot easier for me to mug people if I could just grab em up and drag em into a dark alley.

 

Love talking about this stuff! We must really be dying for V!

the "physics force" of melee attacks also needs a massive upgrade, it was a disgrace that you could not even kick a trash can over in GTA IV.

 

"physics force" should be determined by the weight of melee weapons and the type of attack, also kicks should generate much

more "physics force" (and do more damage) than punches.

 

generally, kicking a trash can or other "medium weight" physics item should send it up off the ground and, possibly either stun or knock an opponent over if it makes contact with them. you could even be able to kick items such as wardrobes over, and onto your enemies/unsuspecting NPCs, doing massive damage. a simple way of facilitating these enviromental attacks would be to automatically direct kicked items towards your currently "locked" target.

I'm quite a fan of the UFC and martial arts in general (but particularly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai). Many of the worlds best fighters flock to MMA gyms based in the southwestern United States (California, Nevada *Las Vegas*, Arizona, and New Mexico) for training. Just to name a few prominent fighters train(ed) in the area...

 

Anderson Silva

Carlos Condit

Dan Henderson

Nick and Nate Diaz

Royce Gracie

Ken Shamrock

Chuck Liddell

Tito Ortiz

Dominick Cruz

 

 

GTAV in SoCal + desperate need for an improved fighting system + bringing back the GTASA features + MMA growing in popularity = interactive parodies of the MMA gyms for the protag to train in GTAV

What do you guys predict? We might even see grappling introduced into the fighting system as well.
