LeoG Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Does it only happens to me, or Niko Bellic is terrible when shiftting gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashon. Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The driving's just different from the past GTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah and Niko isn't controlling the driving you are so it's either that or your just not used to the new driving system in GTA IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I can drive well in GTA IV. Seems easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters! Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The Xbox controlls are so different, but afetr I first played it, I found them easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm really good at driving in GTA, I love the new driving style. I'd be gutted if they decided to scrap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If you ask me, it's just a matter of getting use to. I've played on both 360 and PS3, and there's no difference for me, I've found the driving system much better than the previous GTA's. I haven't got the PC version of this game, but I think it's still the same in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesta Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think you've all misunderstood what he's trying to say. He means that sometimes when you're in first gear, the car will hit the rev limiter for a couple of seconds before niko changes gear. Sometimes he can also be between gears for a while, but this could be down to a manual gearbox. The player may be controlling the car, but there is no option to shift gears manually, so that is done by Niko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It probably depends on the car, they're all tuned a little differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It depends on how fast you accelerate and what car your in. For example, if you just floor it in an Infernus it will rev out it's first gear. However if you just gently accelerate it doesn't happen. Revs usually go higher in the faster cars.

davesta Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Personally I don't think it matters. It will hit the rev limiter when the car has wheelspin, as it would in real life, but it doesn't really slow you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I do not think it is too bad. It is more realistic, but it is a pain not being able to turn a corner with the handbrake . However, I prefer the new driving system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will hit the rev limiter when the car has wheelspin, as it would in real life, but it doesn't really slow you down. Actually, spinning your wheels gives you a huge disadvantage in a race. You DON'T want to spin your wheels. I do not think it is too bad. It is more realistic, but it is a pain not being able to turn a corner with the handbrake . However, I prefer the new driving system. Why does everyone keep saying you can't turn a corner with the ebrake? Apparently you just haven't gotten enough practice doing it? I can almost do it just fine. And I don't even own the game.

Scott. Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I can do it, but its much easier on the previous games. On IV it is harder to turn a corner. It doesn't matter what anyone says, it is a fact, it is harder to drive in IV then it is on any other GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) I can do it, but its much easier on the previous games. On IV it is harder to turn a corner. It doesn't matter what anyone says, it is a fact, it is harder to drive in IV then it is on any other GTA. That just makes it more satisfying when you can drive better than any stunt driver alive, if only for a few moments.

Scott. Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Fair point. Maybe I used too much exaggeration in my post. It isn't impossible to do it, just harder than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Start w/ a decent car like a Comet (still one of the best cars in the series) & work from there. Before long you'll be back to your San Andreas antics. The Rebla (common in Hove Beach) is also surprisingly decent to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before long you'll be back to your San Andreas antics. The Rebla (common in Hove Beach) is also surprisingly decent to drive. The sultan is pretty easy to handle. It's quite quick and you can catch the back end easily if it starts to drift. I think it's one of the best cars in the game. I don't like the comet because it looks like a porsche. I've never liked porsche. The engine's in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoG Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 yes dude thats exactly what i ment. mostly when your playing with a keyboard in a pc that you push the accelerator to the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Niles Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 At first driving in Grand Theft Auto: 4 was hell for me. I was snaking and skidding all over the place (On Xbox 360 btw). You just have to take it slower and not "Smash down the accelerate" unless you want to fly out the windshield. All cars/bikes handle differently as well.. Thus making the realism more phenomenal. Still; to this day I am still used to the Comic humor from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That's probably the reason why I didn't adapt to the Physics in GTAIV... Now after getting through the storymode (Now I'm doing it over), I just drive nice and easy. Also taking the time to drive around the city and enjoying the visuals can enhance your overall driving skills by alot! Practice makes perfect though! -J.N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drix Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm a GTA S.A. addicted, I played 4 years S.A. and sometimes I was imaging that I play gta4 not gta s.a....after those years i knew that will not work on my laptop, so when gta4 appeared i bought gta+ps3 at the same time, before that i didn't had a ps3, or even a controller, only a psp lol, when i started gta4 not even knowing the controls, i had some problems, but after taking Roman home, watching the tut and making the next 3 missions I get rid of the driving problems, now I don't have problems( btw at nfs i suck ) ) I think gta 4 can cover well nfs pack, and even beat nfs, talking 'bout only driving part, of course gta 4 f* nfs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
