lol uhhh i dunno lol

 

 

lol

I going to say console limitations, modelling long hair is actually not that easy,it moves around. Maybe next gen will have improved characters and hair, possibly more control over height, size etc.

I personally think they were really limited as to what they could do on the old consoles.

And you are not wrong,not just console limitations this is a problem that affect pc games too,something related to physx,you can noticed on games that have more detailed hairs that when you move the hair goes to random directions and sometimes goes up like there is a magnet on top of your head like you hair is made of metal.

you dont need a title that long

[wweraw526]

I bet they will give us some after the next gen gets their stuff, they shouldn't abandon the current gen like that. not saying they should give us everything that the PS4, Xbox one and PC version is getting but at least we can get some stuff for the PS3 and 360 versions.

@GR - I tried not to make it long lol

[CrazyRay]

Rockstar likes women with butch haircuts...and they clearly underestimated the amount of tranny players who would complain about it

[JCX AF1]

There scared of clipping.

[GR Choke]

all it had to say was 'long hair for our character'

 

really not that difficult

[wweraw526]

@GR - my bad, just didn't want to make it a look like a suggestion thread since there might already be a thread asking for long hair for our online characters

[GR Choke]

^search

@GR - Just searched it and it seems like there's no thread for it , oh well I'll search next time if they don't have a certain thread about the topic that I'm talking about

[Solo Wing Pixy]

Uhh probably because R* doesn't want girls to look pretty so guys can't jerk off it?

 

Tbh I prefer long haired girls in real life rather than short haired. Short haired girls are just... Egh...

It'll be a graphical limitation in which the hair can't extend past a certain point.

[LahTigre]

I'd be inclined to believe it's a console or graphical limitation... IF...the map wasn't populated with NPCs that have long hair.

[splorsh]

Probably gets in the way of clothing items.

[Hoosierdaddy76]

I'd be inclined to believe it's a console or graphical limitation... IF...the map wasn't populated with NPCs that have long hair.

The behavior of NPC's is predictable and therefore more easily able to be rendered in a hurry, whereas the server would have to account for every single strand of sixteen different heads of hair if players were allowed. Capes, layered cloth, furs, etc. all cause similar problems when rendering.

[0Blitzy]

R* hardly gives a damn about it's playerbase so... never, by looks of it.

 

"Hey, we've been seeing comments about the Bad Sport system and how overpowered some of the weapons are. So to apologize, we're releasing 32 new free Updates that have f*ck all to do with the problems at hand. Thanks for the cash, and suck our balls. -- xoxo Rockstar North"

[Tiny Rick]

Cause' I don't want my characters hair like one of those people at a rave.

[Alec Skorpio]

It's because long, flowing hair is difficult to model.

 

Still, I wouldn't be upset if it was long and stiff. The mullet is the closest thing I have to long hair

[AndYuKnowTHIS]

You guys have too many hair styles. They need to add more black hair styles. I been using the same sh*t for some time now. Either the caesar, bald, or the slick back. They need to add high top fades, dreads, mini curly fro, wavy hair, hair with designs, etc.

[Proco]

Its a bit annoying when you see npcs having different hairstyles & clothes.

 

Surely it wouldn't be too hard to add extra features, rather than drip feed us bits n pieces along the way.

[wweraw526]

Imagine having long hair and seeing some of it all bloody and it dries up a little later on, hey atleast that gives you more of a good reason to use the shower lol All that would look cool, imo.

[G o d]

yeah it always bothered me.

I'd agree with you on the hair, if they were rendered that way. The current set of hairstyles are completely static, period. Longer sets on an NPC seem to be a rigged mesh of some sort, moving in a limited fashion, but in any case we're not talking a Pixar level of hair rendering,

Look the tons of npcs with long hairs walking everywhere, why the console limitations don't apply to them?
We dont need incredible hair physics, just add options exactly like the npc's hair.

Aside from the obvious clipping issues... long hair in video games... tends to suck because its stiff as a board, making computer animated hair move in anything resembling a realistic fashion costs a bundle. So even if long hair was an option.... it wouldn't be good. For some comparison, It took SIX years to develop the software to animate Rapunzel's hair, in Tangled, which was one year less then the films development time. It is an incredibly expensive and processor consuming undertaking.

 

So ask yourself... is having long hair worth it... if said hair moves like a single rigid object. You don't see the long haired NPC's every minute and they don't dodge and roll or dive out of airplanes like the player does.

The hair is a type of hat.

You don't animate a hat. Not in RAGE.

Maybe in NewGen, but i doubt it.
