Big_Smiley Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I always wonderd why Rockstar gave tommy a wierd running amnation. I can't really think of any other protagonist that can beat tommy at a running race he's like cheetah while on foot. Idk mabey he was on the track team back in his high school days? Lol. Anyway about his running amnation he runs like he has to take a massive crap. Like he's been too busy trying to control the streets of vice city that he has no time to go to the bathroom or something. The other protagonist that i can think of that has a wierd and funny amnation is Luis Lopez from Tbogt. He runs like he has the worlds biggest wedgie and he can't some how fix that. Tommy pretty fast while on foot. The only good thing is that the cops don't have a chance at getting tommy while on foot. I think he can even out run a sports car!

Alexander Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yeah it is a sh*tty animation, but the game has very bad graphics anyway. About the speed, well, he can't swim. R* had to give him something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R* had to give him something. Well it was made in 2002. So it didn't have the best graphics . Gta 3 had (in my opinion) had terrible body figures but made in 2001 so you know. Rockstar managed to develop better body models for vice city. But that's it nothing else really improved. Xane_MM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inadequate Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 but the game has very bad graphics anyway. Seriously? For a 2002 game I see his graphics very well made, also the peds and the player model iself more improved than the ones from GTA III, and don't forget the lovely trails in PS2.

For a 2002 game, exactly. For a 2002 game, the running animation is ok too IMO. Games had unnatural animations and graphics.

Spuds725 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This clip from Chappelle's show makes fun of most of the animation... at the time of release-- the game was awesome-- we overlooked that stuff.

Lethal Vaccine Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Personally, I like Tommy's speed. But in general, the 3D Era has nice speed. When you play 3D for so long and then go to IV or V......Omg....Any day now.....f*ckers run so slow and get out of breath so quick. At least when your car catches fire on Vice City you KNOW you can escape on foot, literally, and run back to the mission marker to pass the mission. I can't stand HD running and prefer the 3D running. Niko can't even jump at times. The Trio in V is a joke. You jump from a steep incline, idiots will always dive and land on their head. I am glad none of this nonsense existed in the 3D Era... Xane_MM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad none of this nonsense existed in the 3D Era... yeah I get you. In the HD universe R* were heading for a realistic game-play and mechanics.Niko was a little faster in lV but after that every other HD characters got a little slower.And like I said Tommy can out-run anyone in vice city. He's basicly a human chetta Lol. Edited April 24, 2015 by GTA_The_Series Lethal Vaccine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimMiller Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Only in PC Version Tommy walks stupid, since there is no camera ( you controll Tommys directions with the mouse) But CJ walks normally, especially when he is skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Vaccine Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yeah, it's only in PC where he can run sideways due to the camera which makes a lot of things easier. Same for III on PC. These cameras don't exist for my PS2 Versions of III and VC...Same for the Free Aim... Big_Smiley and KingAJ032304 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal Vaccine Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I found this out the moment I saw someone obtaining a Special Vehicle in Vice City on the PC. This is why I say things are easier as you can see ALL angles when you run, unlike on PS2. You just see straight, not left or right, unless you turn Tommy's whole body to either side. PS2 Versions are always harder than PC for many of these sorts of mechanic issues which were improved every time for the PC Version...

SpooferJahk Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Might have had something to do with Vice City being Rockstar's first experience with using boned animations for models, I mean Vice City came out not too long after III and III used a mesh system for the animations so this was kind of new for Rockstar to do with a short amount of time.
