Zanje Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 howdy yall, i have missed out on the decent quality streams so was wondering if anyone who seen em could answer a simple question for me? are the mirrors useable in first person mode? Trying to research it i, i have seen folk saying both yes and no so i am curious. Thanks a million! Mr_Leone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79'Blazer4x4 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 They definitely look like they work in the first person trailer. They were a bit pixely for me but that's probably only because my internet can't play videos in a higher quality than 360p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Looks like you don't see cars that are behind you in them, just a blurry image of what is behind you kinda looks like. The Deadite, TheMisanthrope, Wolfhuman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Lfc Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Judging by the FPS trailer, no. It shows a general reflection of the scenery behind you. But not a perfect mirror image. It didn't seem to reflect the cop cars on the road. Just the road itself & surroundings.

TheMisanthrope Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 As others stated the streams I've seen lately the mirrors definitely work, just barely and they do not show the cars or other vehicles behind you... which is a difficult detail to add to a game I'm assuming. They'd have to create it for every car and vehicle with mirrors. It'll make things difficult merging in traffic or backing up but what can you do eh.

Trying to research it i, i have seen folk saying both yes and no so i am curious. Thanks a million! No. They do not work. You can see this in the "First Person Mode Trailer" When franklin drives his motorbike at the end of the trailer during the rainy nighttime, the mirrors on the bike he's riding on show absolutely no sign of realtime reflective properties. Therefore.. no... absolutely no reflection. Only reflective light surfaces similar to that of the paint on the vehicle itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to actually be able to back up the big rigs in first person mode this time around.

In last gen it was just black behind the seats, didn't even have a door outline to access the sleeper.

BUT since the mirrors slightly work you still may be able to see enough to back it up, just hope there's no cars behind you or PEDs. Like you said though disappointing but not game breaking.

Who knows? they MIGHT let us see the trailer in the mirrors, seeing as it's a longer lasting thing than other cars since it's actually attached to your vehicle.

TheGodDamnMaster Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 They had functioning mirrors back in 2007 as seen in IV's second trailer, so I'm amazed they still can't do it today with these new consoles.

theworldfamous Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Probably too much to ask in GTA, because you're basically rendering two or three extra cameras per vehicle. Low settings and res, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA_dog Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 So, no real-time reflections for car reflections then? Such as seeing your player's reflection on the cars or other car reflections on the cars? At least there's real-time shadows, finally. Even the first Saint's Row had that sh*t, and I was pretty upset when IV didn't offer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Input Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The mirrors don't really function, it looks like the chrome option for cars. It's just a very general reflection with heavy stretched distortion to it. Wolfhuman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have 18 Wheels of Steel, basically the American version of Euro Truck Simulator(as far as I know).

R3W1ND Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 at least, its better than Driver SF. Instead it shows the whole scenery from your front (but its real time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfhuman Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) You can look back, so it's not really a problem. It is a problem, FPS in vehicles without working mirrors is half assed. Many people (including me) expected proper working things like mirrors for neat drive purposes and RP'ing. Sure, i can look back without using mirrors but it is not handy as mirrors and it kind of kills the realism. Sigh, it waited for this so hard. Driving like in IRL, RP'ing to the max...

What do you expect when the new consoles come out with already old hardware? This is why I'm holding out for PC, and why I will be getting SLI GTX-970's.

Jerome Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would say the mirrors kind of looks like PS3's car reflections, it reflects the static objects around you but not the dynamic ones, and the image is a bit blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man, I agree mirrors would be cool (and probably essential for morpheus ) but you'll be RPing with your controller using your thumb to accelerate and no control over gears,it's not really a gamebreaker- it was never going to be like driving irl.

I do admit that it sounds silly to be upset over such thing. But damn man... i dreamed (not literally) to drive certain vehicles in the game IFP in a working way. It is a bit depressing to drive IFP and when you see the mirrors they are not functioning. FP feels broke to me. I am not techy enough to know if it from the console or the game itself, but this is a let down for drivers like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
