Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / June 2008Jalopy cars in GTA
Okay, I'm sick of the 2000 "whoo hoo!" and "100%" threads that have spread like bacteria. I jacked another car the other day, and it was rusty(new texture?), but it had another interesting aspect: misfiring engine. Every 20-30 seconds, the car would misfire, and you'd see a brief flame shoot out of the exhaust. Interesting emulation of cars. Never seen a "junker" car before in the GTA world. Would be funny to see if they could apply the rusty paint skin & misfiring to something odd, like a supercar. Oh, and I must confess. I saw a guy just standing there admiring the view from the top of a steep cliff. I pushed him off. :) Not even the ambulance could reach him. > I jacked another car the other day, and it was rusty(new texture?), but it > had another > interesting aspect: misfiring engine.

Niko tries to start it, prays, swears, but the car won't move again. Nice touch. >> I jacked another car the other day, and it was rusty(new texture?), >> but it had another [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > break down.

The other day I spent five solid minutes trying to start a car I knew was dead, just so I could listen to Niko plead and swear at it. It was quite amusing. :) -- Bob > Okay, I'm sick of the 2000 "whoo hoo!" and "100%" threads that have spread > like bacteria. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > from the top of a steep cliff.

Wish i hadn't waited so long. I laughed my a.s off ! Not only does it backfire a cloud of shizz, but the car loses power for a quick moment before it does. Like the carb is loading up. Can't remember if it backfires when flying along, or just under acceleration. I want to say under acceleration. Somebody at R* loves cars. They did a great job with them. The learning curve on the SUV's and old RWD cars was fun, and i still forget i'm driving one now and then by slewing past my turn in point. D'oh !

It appends when you hit the full gas while your motor is on low rpm. > Interesting emulation of cars. Never seen a "junker" car before in > the GTA world.

In GTA: San Andreas there were at least two beaten up Glendale cars with their own seperate attributes. The cars were smashed up and ran worse than normal Glendales, and even a Pay'n'Spray visit wouldn't fix them. One of these Glendales was considered a "Ghost Car" as you'd often arrive in the area to see it rolling along on it's own (The truth is: the car spawned on a slant).

My favourite Jalopy is the huge old cadilac looking things. They're four door and if you look around you'll see there are a number of different grades of damage, from full on missing wings and rust to rubbed down paintwork. You get a few jalopies when delivering for Jacob, not that you'll always want to be driving them :O) SignaturePaul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ > > Interesting emulation of cars.
