EvilFuture Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't know about you guys, but I think the explosions in the new trailers look like... well... sh*t compared to the first and second. I'm not really complaining, as I don't really care, I'm just pointing it out. I mean, look at them. It's not too good. San Andreas explosion: V explosion: Now, look at the second trailer explosion. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fail_At_GTA Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 You're comparing 2 different types of explosions. One is with C4, the other is with a missile. Perhaps Rockstar has different explosions for every type of explosive weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAfan786 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The game isn't finished. The least worry you have right now is the explosions. They can easily improve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil ski Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 No I agree and I was just about to post this. The explosions looked a lil watered down and not as epic as IVs, probably to conserve memory just like they did with SA. Which is cool cuz the game is gonna be tight anyway !

-Perfection- Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Most of this are cutscenes which possibly might be different to the actual gameplay. Off topic: I really don't like the sound of some weapons in GTA. Just seems not powerful enough, like the sniper shot in the trailer, or normal guns, just seem underpowered. I dunno. Maybe its just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoPotato Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I was about to point this out too. The trailer 2 explosion looked way better and more realistic. I don't know if they are doing this because of the massive world size or the personalization options, but I'm starting to think that they did this after the delay, because the game personalization options weren't that much. Sorry for my bad english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that explosions don't look that good but I don't make a topic about it. Even if it isn't in your intention to complain that's how it comes across when you make a topic like this.

RedShotBR Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'd say that the explosions look different because in trailer 2, the explosion was because a pair of missiles hit a helicopter, therefore blowing it up, creating a bigger explosion. In Michael's trailer though, he's using a small explosive just to blast off the doors and keep the cash intact, rather than destroy the entire vehicle.

Perhaps Rockstar has different explosions for every type of explosive weapon. I was about to say this. 2 very different explosions. Plus the c4 one looks like will be a cutscene probably. Vehicles exploding will be how the explosions will look in the game and judging from the screenshots, it looks pretty damn good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lava lamp Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 yesss! i agree. I just hope when a car explodes it doesn't shoot 20ft in the air and land without a dent in the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggsy pls Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wow, you kids cry about anything, don't you? The only people who are crying, are the ones who constantly complain about topics...

The-San-Andreas-man Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you didn't care why post a topic about it? And you are complaining. How am I complaining by pointing out the explosions look bad? Complaining: To express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, or grief; find fault: He complained constantly about the noise in the corridor. You are pointing it out yes, but negatively. If you were pointing it out and saying it was good, you'd be complimenting them. You are pointing it out and saying they look bad. Honestly, I see nothing wrong with the explosions. They can easily change them as they have like 4 months left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that, just don't make a new topic saying something looks bad, what's the point, your on a GTAforum you'd be stupid to think your not going to get shot down.

Miss Darko Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 People acting like he's not allowed to say they look bad. I'd say it's not that you can't say anything bad, it's just that when it's put that way, it's clearly a complaint. The word "complaint" isn't meant to de-legitimize that person's opinion, it just classifies the form it's taking. I personally also thought it was weird when the OP said he wasn't complaining when the whole point of the thread was to complain. I mean, any time you point out something you're not happy with, that is by definition a complaint. It doesn't mean that the complainer is being whiny or that the opinion is unworthy. It's just a matter of fact. I'll agree that IV's explosions are probably still the best in terms of appearance. But looking closely at the gifs, it looks to me like there's more variation among them, and that the type of explosion will be more dependent on what's being exploded and where. I think that makes it an overall improvement, and they're still not bad. Quite dynamic and, well, explosive. What's missing is a little bit of brightness (bloom) factor and some of the darker portions to create contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilFuture Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Now that I remember, I'm thinking that the Trailer 2 explosion might have been better because they added that missile in to make the scene more dramatic. I think it was deffpony who pointed that out. If you play the scene frame by frame there is some rocket that comes out of nowhere and hits the helicopter. So, I'm sure the new Trailer explosions is how it will be in game. Looking at the gifs now, the explosions do look alright, but still not as good as IV's.
