Agreed 100%. GTA V explosions and fire is the one effect I am not looking forward to at all. They look horrible.

jp shows gameplay of an explosion, and it looks only about a million times better than IV. Think we are done here.

This looks amazing!

I kinda agree. I think that helicopters explosion look weird. The smoke seems to exponentially expand while travelling with the helicopter towards the player. Looks odd to me.

 

edit:

 

The initial flame part looks cool just as the rocket has hit. It's all the smoke that looks iffy in my eyes.

I'm pretty sure all those topic are born because the hype is so hype for theses people they need to find something to worry about...

This game will be awesome! Face it!

Hard to explain, but IV's explosions just seem like they have more "weight" and realism to them than V. I'm not that worried about it though.

This^

 

I found IV's explosions to be bland and not at all powerful.

I love the lighting effects and radial flying of debris in that gif. I'll wait for the 17th but damn that explosion feels far more menacing than GTA IV.

they just needed to make the explosions more violent and bigger from iv, and that would have been better

Here's another example of a rather weak explosion animation. It just lacks dimension.

 

That being said, it does match up nicely with the game's art direction. I think I'll grow to appreciate it more.

Yeah i think the explosions are far better in V, the debris, fire glow and smoke cloud look more realistic. The explosions in IV just didnt look that natural. Random welding sparks would fly out and the transition from what appeared more like a flash of light than fire to smoke was too brief. The plume didn't expand enough and dissipated too quickly. It just looked more like a fireworks display than an explosion to me.

This actually looks really nice. Hopefully the explosions will be more "dynamic" because in GTA IV, all of the explosions looked the same: three flame/smoke clouds at the beginning of the explosion followed by a few trails of smoke.
