Tommys run looks weird when looking backwards while running. He shakes his head left and right, as the animation tries to make Tommy look backwards. Must be hard to make any escape routes this way.

 

On my book, Luis wins with his running animation. Is his hip locked on the wrong position or is there something wrong with his spine?

 

And as the final note, Johnnys jog is awesome.

Though, I find Tommys' wee bit odd; still doesn't bother me.

There are options to tweak him slightly.

I'm not the kind who rants about such things, unless it affects the gameplay severely.

From NPCs fat people always had funny running animations,from the fat dude on the beach who could sprint much faster than Tommy in VC,to old fat granny who could barely walk but could easily run in SA,to the fat biker who could barely even run in GTA 4 and EFLC.

Bump.

 

Was it actually about the running animation or the "sprinting"? I guess the latter.

 

For me, it'd be both Claude and Tommy. Even Luis looks more natural there 😛

 

Luckily, Claude's got a pretty cool walking animation. And I'm pretty sure that Johnny's walking animation was based on it as well.

Hmmm nice bike

Tommy had a cool walking animation, but he ran weird (and was about as fast as Usain Bolt). Claude was also strangely robotic. It's like they would throw their elbows up behind them as far as they could.

Ima have to say Claude for 3d era and luis for 4 era and trevor for hd era CJ, Victor Vance, Franklin, and The GTA Online protagonist has the most normal animations.

Tommy and his weird swingy arms and super-man speed.

All of them.

 

Claude runs like he just wiped his ass with sandpaper, Tommy runs like a Scooby-Doo character, CJ looks like he’s trying to hug the air, Niko runs like a rooster, and both Luis and Johnny run as if they just sharted

I never actually paid that much attention to the running animation but the awkward ones go to Claude, Luis, Johnny, and Tommy.

 

Claude runs like a cartoon character, Luis and Johnny runs as if their back got broken, and Tommy runs like he got a pole up his ass, he does run fast though which isn't bad.

Nikos running is the weirdest especially how awkwardly he jogs for a few second after hault like a cartoon character.

It was supposed to be more realistic than 3d gtas but looks more unnatural and funny.

As for 3d universe it has to be vic for an army he runs really slow with that awkwad bowing his head down like he is tired.

Luis, Johnny and Niko are all weird. The most normal one is Franklin I guess. Tommy is also definitely the fastest for sure. The dude can outrun cars. You don't need cars in VC if you've done the paramedics side mission.

When Luis runs, he looks a bit like how Bernie Sanders ran that one time he went down the escalator.

Though, I think Claude and Tommy have the weirdest running animations. They look too cartoonish even for the time.

When you unlock the Infinite Run ability for GTA: Vice City, you can run further and faster than public transport and other vehicles. 

 

Vercetti's running animation makes the whole thing better, as he can have a street race with a car on foot, and still win. All that time in prison has made him a track star.

They're all odd, but GTA 5's are the most 'normal' imho.

Claude tries to throw his arms out as far as he can, Tommy is faster than the vehicles in VC, CJ's is alright, I guess??, and Niko tries to keep his back as straight as possible. I haven't played much of LCS, VCS and the Episodes, so I don't remember what their animations looked like

From protagonists,I think Luis has the weirdest running animation,the way he hunches his back and kinda tucks his head between his shoulders when he runs looks awkward.

Johnny runs like he's in his 50s,but he's wearing motorcycle boots which aren't really good for running,and it's been implied that he had a bike accident in the past and his legs probably never fully recovered,so he gets a pass.

Tommy being able to outrun vehicles going the speed limit looks more funny than awkward.

Michael's walking animation looks really awkward too,he's hunched like a Neanderthal.

As much as I love Tommy man, but when he runs it's like he's running through lava with the way his legs move and arms fling. His warp running speed makes Usain Bolt jealous.:p

 

Coming to think about it Luis looks weird running too. Niko atleast keeps his back straight (which is what I would do if I was running) and I can excuse Johnny because he has a bad leg, but I can't quite describe Luis'. It's like that Bernie Sanders gif above, but it's also like he's desperately trying to hold in a sh*t in while he's looking for a toilet. 

 

And the way his stands annoys me too. What's with the head tilt? lol.

I'm surprised so few have mentioned Claude. The way he wiggles his arms is just incredibly stupid in my opinion.
