This thread is supporting a step back on the GTA series with this ugly driving...

This series needed to go back! 4 sucked the fun out of the franchise with (but not exclusively) its heavy, slidey, non brakey, boat cars.

 

I agree with OP. I can't see them patching it, but if they did, they could surely just add a single slider under controls in settings couldn't they? Stiff and slow at one end, fast and loose at the other?

 

Off topic, OP, I love your avatar. As good as these 3 guys are, they will have to be truely remarkable to beat Ellie as my favourite game character of the past year or 2.

 

Not to mention the framerate is REALLY good and very consistent on the PS3.

 

There are these little things that made this GTA feel like GTA, like using the Pricedown font more than IV and the classic mission marker spheres. Great, feels classic.

 

And yeah, Ellie's gotta be one of my favourite game characters EVER. She's just simply awesome.

Just started playing an hour ago and yes the driving was weird at first, but I got used to it. I like how each car handles differently

It's pretty poor, you don't even need brakes (yawn) like the cod of driving this is.

"You don't even need brakes."

You haven't played this game yet, have you?

I'm not understanding these complaints.

 

Franklin is why your car is handling so "arcadey" that's his ability. This was already established before the game released. When he is the protag you are playing as all vehicles will handle with more ease, they will withstand more damage before showing wear and tare, and he can go into bullet time when driving. He's all about the cars. Choose a different protag for more realistic mechanics.

 

Unless I'm wrong , but that's exactly what was explained by rockstar. So the other protags should handle more "realistically".

i agree. rockstar better not change a single thing with the driving. it's perfect.

 

if you don't like it, go back and play IV.

 

that's all i gotta say.

Its a mix between IV and SA, its NOTHING like the whiny people explained in their cry topics.

Some cars do turn a bit too fast however.

Id say to revert back to gta4 driving is to just modify your traction, there you go.

GTA IV's driving was so sh*t, no way should a sports car or motorcycle feel that f*cking stiff like that.

The only "driving physics" I truly hate are the motorbikes. They are HORRIBLE. I know IV was bad but V's motorbikes are worse.

No it's just I can actually drive without using brakes which ruins the fun of driving because it's too easy plus they're way too strong.

But it's to cater to the masses of noobs so they get into it straight away with no effort.

I was playing for 3 hours V now (Ps3) and I can't believe how awesome the game is, I like everything about it so far and there's nothing wrong with the car physics and damage imo. I liked IV's car physics but I like V's aswell. I've only done 4 missions so far. And look at the graphics, Rockstar Games must be magicians or something. :lol::^:

I didn't like the driving in V at first, but I'm starting to love it. I just drove down a busy highway and didn't crash once! In GTA IV, I was always crashing into cars like as if they just wanted you to crash.

ROFL.. It's actually the other way around:

 

GTA IV: Too loose

GTA V: Too stiff

 

But in the end it's the traction that's the problem.

So now after playing the game for a couple of hours car handling does not suck that bad as it looked like. It's still a major downgrade from GTA IV though, atleast I am not annoyed by it. The damage though? Man it's like I have godmode on.

What u complaining morons are failing to understand is the basics of balancing a video game... Rockstar know exactly what they are doing. Stop bitching. The game is epic.....end of discussion...

LOL. The driving is absolute dog sh*t and every real fan knows it. Every other kid that bought GTA5 without playing 4 seems to love it because they cant compare it to sh*t. ITS A COMPLETE DOWNGRADE. Games are meant to get better and be compared to their previous one. And when you go from realistic physics with responsive damage to every vehicle hits 200 and cant be dented it seriously changes the feel of the entire game. Also starting the game with amazing supercars isn't exactly satisfying either. Everyone remembers earning the lambo at the end of vicecity and how dope it looked. Now you start off in the hood but get a white ferrari off in your little shack garage?? Game just feels unbalanced.

Every real fan knows it? I've been playing Grand theft Auto since the original on PC, mate, and I f*cking love the handling in V.

 

Oh and the buffalo (or whatever it is he drives, it looks like a buffalo but I can't check seeing as Michael and Franklin are grayed out during Trevor's first few missions) isn't a Ferrari.

no we already got saints row and sleeping dogs with that driving

Look, you know I respect you from the hair post we were both on before.

 

But you'd be damn wrong with that. It's nothing like SR, nor is it as weird as Sleeping Dogs. The mechanic isn't that arcadey, to be fair.

 

I've been playing the game. The driving is fine, and it's fun. There should be relatively no complaints.

 

Yes it is. Hold the joystick left or right to flip your car back onto your wheels. Not even SR 3 had that. This is as arcadey as it gets.
