BrokenLizard Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It feels like a Need for Speed type game when your tires peel out during a launch. The car feels like it has no weight under it. If you ask me, the tires should peel out MORE for some cars. It just feels like the cars tires aren't flush with the asphalt and feels slippery. If I have a 350 HP Sabre GT, I should not be able to punch the pedal without any consequences. Vice versa with a Bobcat XL. I can understand if it took skill/made a difference to correctly time your launch, but it doesn't. This is my ONLY problem with the driving.

Gnocchi Flip Flops Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, agreed. IV had the right idea though. In IV if I held the gas and e-brake at the same time in a powerful RWD car like the Feltzer and then let go of the e-brake, that thing would take a bit of time to gain traction. But if I did the same with a lighter, grippier AWD car like the Infernus, it would gain traction quicker than you could blink. V was programmed, and this was stated in an IGN preview of V and it made me mad, to where all cars launched with that cheesy ass, split-second smoke out start that supposedly was to get you more immersed in driving but in reality it just annoyed the hell out of ms just like MC:LA. Only a dimwit would feel such sh*t was needed. What you suggested was great. A powerful, less grippy car should be harder to launch. It was like that in IV...

BrokenLizard Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 More immersed in driving? Really? Did the tires smoke the same way in Midnight Club? I never played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it was the same way in MC:LA. I often drove the Audi S5, which had loads of grip, and it still had that cheesy smokeout start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenorama Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I can understand if it took skill/made a difference to correctly time your launch, but it doesn't. This is my ONLY problem with the driving. Well then you don't have a problem with the way the game's driving is designed. If you avoid slamming down the gas right away, the wheels won't spin and you will accelerate VERY quickly. Just press it more gently and let the car move a ltitle before pressing the gas down all the way. I'm still surprised sometimes at how quickly a car will start moving by doing it right.

Its a shame that I'd have to do that though. Its stupid to have to slowly start and then speed up just to avoid some idiotic wheelspin that was poorly integrated with the driving physics for "more immersion".

You don't have to start driving slowly, all you have to do is press the gas a tiny bit slower instead of slamming it down all the way as quickly as possible. It's a very minor change in your usage of the "gas pedal" but it makes a big difference. You won't start slowly, you will start moving forward very quickly and the wheels won't spin at all. You will still press the gas all the way down, but you'll do it more gently. Just try it. "Slamming the gas" is not the ONLY way to drive a car!!! Also, wheelspin is like drifting, some people want to do it, so it's an option. Without drifting being possible, we get super-sticky tires and never slide around on the road. Sure that might be useful, but it's unrealistic and would be stupid because it would make the cars way too easy to drive. Without wheelspin, you slam the gas all the way down and take off like a bullet in a completely unrealistic way. You really want that? That sounds like Saints Row B.S.

Jizzle2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I put gta iv in my ps3 the other day and I never realized how sh*tty the driving was Imo the cars tilt like boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenorama Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I put gta iv in my ps3 the other day and I never realized how sh*tty the driving was Imo the cars tilt like boats And the steering is like trying to drive with The Club attached to the wheel. Even at low speeds you have to hit the e-brake and drift just to make a turn. Edited March 18, 2014 by xenorama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanbeales1 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 apparently,your tires can burst if you do wheelspin to long,they shall burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDetroit Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I pretty much only play IV as a cop exclusively (LCPDFR), kind of a cop simulator if you will. My GTAIV (PC) has all new/re-written handling.dat lines, to mimic the real thing as much as possible, for both cars, trucks and bikes. So much better than V or vanilla IV. I notice that with vanilla IV handling lines the cars are all extremely boat-like...like driving a 1975 Ford LTD. With that said, at least in IV, the vanilla handling felt like the car had weight and inertia, better simulation of weight transfer, and a better feeling of what driving a car is like (a heavy projectile). You have to finesse the car during high-speed turns in IV...just like the real thing, or you spin out or swoop wide. Not so much with V at this point in time. In V the cars have none of that, it's totally generic handling for each class of car. Seems it's getting better with the updated, especially SP, but a long way to go yet. Just my $0.02 worth.

LightningLord Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Meh. Kind of agree. If I have a 500+ Horsepower Buffalo with regular tires it should peel out. But a 4WD Adder? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
