Water splashing the camera makes more sense in third person games, because it's possible that someone is chasing your character around with a camera. It doesn't make sense that you're carrying a camera and a gun. The helmet in Metroid Prime was a nice touch though.raYne said:
Perhaps, but in first person it pulls you into the environment. Water splashes and not so much lensflare, but bright/dark exposure transitions etc.SapientWolf said:
It doesn't actually make more sense in 3rd person, since there isn't actually someone with a camera following you. So if you want to reach that far, you can also pretend that in first person, your character is wearing glasses. :lol
Agreed about the MP helmet interaction.

Just pretend you are seeing from the view of a Lakitu dangling a camera from his fishing pole.raYne said:Perhaps, but in first person it pulls you into the environment. Water splashes and not so much lensflare, but bright/dark exposure transitions etc.

That was only the set up. The point was that the chaser got randomly run over by a car crashing through shops as soon as Houser turned to fight him.Himuro said:

So you've been talking about the GAME for months, wishing you could play the GAME, then the day comes when the GAME is released, you buy the GAME, you take the GAME home and put it into your GAME console and play the GAME with your hands.
But water splashing on the screen is the unrealistic part :lol
The game is made as a movie would be made, in the same style, just like an interactive movie. And as an interactive movie, it will (and should) have camara flares, water splashing on the screen and depth of field.
Actually, water on the screen isn't a movie thing, but a game thing. You can make a game that is too movie like, so it is needed to bring you back into the game. The same with blood.
It's not supposed to be a sim.

This may seem kinda random, but will the cops finally give chase if you're speeding or running a red light? Will we have to observe the rules of the road?

I haven't heard that will take place, thankfully. Leave that shit for other games.

Personally, what tickles me about this pic is what it may portend- a completely explorable network of underground subway tunnels. Imagine riding your bike on the tracks, following an above-ground train in Broker into the darkness, barreling alongside it, then veering off at a fork in the track. Maybe you pass a few mole people, crazy hobos living underground, then have to swerve into them to avoid an oncoming train. You finally reach a station, grind your bike up some steps, and cruise out into Star Junction.
Or the cops chase you down into a subway, and you hop onto the tracks to get away. They hop down after you, only to be crushed by an oncoming subway train while you roll onto the next track.
I'm really excited about this feature.

i think i heard somewhere that it will happen, some magazine.
The edge article was good. I enjoy reading what Houser has to say about the series. It's funny cause when he hypes things like Euphoria I know with any other developer it's PR speak. When I read what Houser says it sounds genuine, like this is his baby and they finally got to use a tech that takes it to another level. Overall there wasn't much new stuff in the article though. As for the car crashing through a shop and killing the guy chasing Niko, I think the important part there is that it's assumed these things are happening more often. Even totilo from MTV mentioned that there's more random stuff going on this time around.
Actually it was mentioned early on, and somewhere in this thread a few of us had the discussion. If you run a red light and there's a cop in the vicinity you will get a star. I was against it, well, because I don't stop for no one bitch. I'm bummed that it's in, but as long as there's not cops on every street corner it shouldn't get annoying.

:lol yeah i dunno if its true or not but the edge interview where they mentioned you can either pay a toll bridge or smash the barrier (which i assume will get the cops on you) will probably mean that this time there will be more real life rules to follow or break.

Yeah but that really won't interrupt the joy of driving. That's a big part of GTA for many people and I think adding in running red lights is something that could tick people off.
Gexecuter said:
Speaking of tolls, I had no idea GTA:SA had them until a few days ago. I was driving around and was crossing over a bridge from a small town and was amazed that every car slowed down to a stop for the toll. There were a bunch of cars in front of me so I sad the hell with it.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
SolidSnakex said:
All that shit certainly didn't help the Driver games. It was alright in the first one, because the game was kind of built around all that. But when they tried to do the open world thing with the latter games... it became increasingly annoying and felt further and further out of place.

you didn`t stop for the booth?, did you get a star or something?.
How do you guys even remember that far back? I'm convinced my memory was burned by the time I was out of high school. I don't even remember specific things about San Andreas let alone part 3. The only speicific thing I remember about the subway tracks in the original was taking cops through chases down there.

I know the term is being tossed around a lot now, but this sounds like true emergent gameplay.newsguy said:

I hope not, that would take away a lot of the fun.Verboten said:
MrTroubleMaker said:
I actually went way back to find this because it seems people are bringing it up again.
From the first big Gamespot preview:
There was alot of discussion about this, but only if there's a cop at said intersection will you gain a star. It would be absurd to have motorcycles and supercars in the city if you had to follow the rules in the game. R* wouldn't screw us like this.

That's an interesting quote, but yeah, I hope it's reasonable like you stated.newsguy said:

there is no fun in thatAnother question comes to mind...would cops throw you out of the car with guns blazing just for running a red light?
It'd be cool to have a cop pull you over, come to your car, go back to his patrol car to run your tags...and have a random chance of having your stars go up or disappear altogether. Or you could just pull a Fargo.

While we're on that subject, Driver had the most ridiculously aggressive cops... It wouldn't take much to set them off and they would not stop until your car was a smoldering pile.chubigans said:Another question comes to mind...would cops throw you out of the car with guns blazing just for running a red light?
