Where do you see VC Stunting in 6 months?

Oh. And in case GTAIV fails in the stunting department and this site dies, where will all of you go and what will you do with all your free time?

I (hope) I won't go back to WoW. But if stunting is dead in 6 months, it will be summer! Time for the beach, motocross, skateboarding, BMX! The sun wouldn't be going down till 10:00 PM, so I probably wouldn't be inside much. Only time I'd really be inside is when they stream the Baja 500 over the internet, seeing as I can't watch it on TV or go to Mexico and whiteness it myself.

If it matters, I pronounce it: Nag-wal

Nah whual
Entirely not like Neo pronounces it

I don't see GTAIV becoming a stunting playground as much as VC has been.
Games in general are becoming more and more 'realistic' (detailled) and leave less open for imagition.
It's like playing an old Zelda game for instance. You remember how awesome it was when you were playing it as a kid but for ppl of another generation the game would just look like crap.
I guess what I'm saying is that the older you get, the less you can totally lose yourself in a game.
Until you get dementia and start becoming like that kid again. (insert random Neo insult here)

I don't think that the same will happen to VC stunting that happened by the time SA got released and proved to alot of stunters to be somewhat of a disappointment.
When IV releases and could well be another disappointment (considering the un-stunterfriendly engine used IMO), there is not really any game to fall back on.
More and more vets/crews are going to quit and modding and annoying posers will soon get the better of the community. Ppl will grow up and start with other games or paying more attention to building a future.
That's my pretty pessimistic view of what will happen in 6 months - 2 years.

cookies anyone???

I think SA was TOO stunter friendly. In that respect, GTA IV will push people to the limits of doing ANYTHING because of the realism factor involved. Would you see that as a good or bad thing? And do ATS agree that SA was too stunter-friendly?

If some one made a whole new map with the vice city engine would you stunt in it?

I practically know already that IV is gonna be a failure stunt-wise.

They've started using the same engine for stunting ever since SA, LS and VCS are an great example. I really wouldn't be surprised if they used a crappier one for IV.

Plus I haven't seen a packer at all in IV so can anyone say "bye-bye p2bs"?

Nitzkit · « **Reply #819 on:** October 03, 2007, 07:41:40 PM »

i read somewhere that the IV engine is completely new to rockstar

That can be either really good news or super crap bad news.

Are you stoned? Friendly? VC is stunter friendly, maybe why so many of us continue to stunt there after all these years. SA was TOO stunter friendly That's the best laugh I've had in a week.

Last thing I heard was that the engine used for IV was that of the Xbox360-game 'Table Tennis'.

So prostitutes will shoot ping-pong balls out of their fun zones realistically? Nice one
