MarkD1990 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) NaturalMotion’s ’Euphoria’ technology, being used for elements of the Grand Theft Auto IV engine, actually makes the player getting drunk in-game a realistic event, with unpredictable outcomes. CEO Torsten Reil explains that when lead character Belic gets drunk and staggers around in GTA IV, this isn't something that's being delivered via animation, but rather the console's CPU is simulating what happens when the character drinks booze in real-time. "There is a drinking mini-game in very detailed form where you can get drunk and he can actually then stumble around and you have to get home," Reil tells GI.biz. "But all of that is fully simulated. So, it is not based on animation any more. It is actually all synthesised on the CPU. Which means that it has a completely different outcome every time you play." Live world simulation is possible thanks CPU technology advancements, the console synthesizing events on the fly, rather than calling on pre-defined animations in a given situation. More on this as we get it. Source: Play.tm Edited February 20, 2008 by mark866 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyjeremy00 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I bet that when the game is released that the media will jump all over the fact that you can drink and drive!!! To be perfectly honest it does seem a little irresponsible!! but as long as it adds something to the game without being gratuitous, it cant be that bad can it???

Zop-2911 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) It'll probably teach us not to drink and drive in real life. If we get wrecked, go out in a car and drive all over the place, crashing and killing people it'll be a laugh, but it shows us how difficult it is!

GTA Don Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hehe. You can actually get drunk, I'll be heading down to Steinway every night and drown my sorrows, (not that I have any). This game is going to be very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I loved the drunk mission in Vice City, something to do with Phil Cassidy, and thought it was going to be in SA, but it wasn't on SA. Now though its on IV it will be great, especially driving drunk will be nice, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Since I can't get drunk in real life I'll love to do it in GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
