Undyne Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Its probably because they're a bunch of lazy assholes who couldn't animate a pair of gloves. What? It's just a hand model set. They are already animated because they use the same bones as the normal hands.Pardon my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudX Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Another question to ponder, why'd they cut the two additional haircuts? I understand that they change characters appearance throughout development, but his other haircuts were featured pretty prominently in pre-release screenshots. Were they still getting Niko's design completed when they started making screenshots or were haircuts originally available to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Cowboy Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 All I've seen are beta build of Niko with darker, shaggier hair, not really much of a haircut variant. I don't think haircuts were planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is evidence that suggests a barber system was in the game at one point, but I don't think it ever made it past the testing phase and to Niko's character.

PhillBellic Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't know what the reason the gloves were cut. However I wished they could be used in the vanilla game. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fefenc Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 R* must add fingerless gloves on V PC version, since it won't have any kind of stupid limitation consoles has.

B Dawg Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 R* must add fingerless gloves on V PC version, since it won't have any kind of stupid limitation consoles has. They must innovate on the PC version to make me buy the game 360/PS3 could easily handle more cars, more maps, more activities, all you need is hard drive memory space. Hardware specs? That's just for graphics, density, physics and AI (the last 2 being sh*tty on purpose) Point: There's no console limitations not allowing them to add something as simple as gloves. I'm pretty sure 360/PS3 trainers for IV allow the usage of gloves as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undyne Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Maybe they just thought it was unnecessary, it's too simple not to be added for console limitations. Even though he could've worn them when he's dressed casually and when he's wearing a suit or something he takes them off. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WandererNiko Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Sorry for bumping up, but I always thought the gloves and the longer hair gave Niko more "youthfulness" and they would make him a bit less "serious" character, just a bit less. So, in order to make him tough guy without "fashion" stuff, R* cut Niko's hair and removed the gloves. With serious, I mean the appearance, his manhood shown in the clothes, if you get what I'm saying. I kind of like the Niko we have as default, more than a Niko with gloves and longer hair, although, I would have liked to see them as an optional feature in the game, as some guys pointed before.

wiizardii Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Niko forgot them in the platypus on the way to LC. Dave's fault, him screaming ''Daddy's back you bitches!!!!!!!!!'' really got the better of Niko. Poor guy.

ryd3r007 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Actually on ps3 you can wear the fingerless gloves, an schoolbag and the original haircut, i find a video on yt (i dont have the link, sorry) of a guy who posted the link of his modded save and it works. Im sure we can do it using an hex editor too, but i cant find the offset. The only issue is...you lose the gloves and the bag when you wear a suit and you cant recover it again Sorry for my english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much Burger Shot? Looks more like sh*tty modeling than proportional to a fat guy. Maybe Niko's design wasn't down yet so they just drew up a crappy place-holder for some screenshots.

NightmanCometh96 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 They weren't suitable for bowling. Also, they would've gotten in the way of touching those BEEG AMERICAN TEETEES! Didn't help though; turns out the strip clubs happen to have a no touching rule, and it is killing Niko, apparently.
