3. Physical Interaction
Throughout the GTA series, the only way you ever physically interact with anyone in game (and I dont mean during cut scenes but when youre in control of the protagonist), is by showing them. Whether youre running at full pelt or simply walking at a leisurely pace, if you walk into someone, friend, stranger, or cop, youll push them, sometimes completely over. I get that GTA protagonists are sort of
meant to be douchebags, but do they really need to be that obnoxious? For GTA V, I sincerely hope that, in the interest of realism of course, R* have hammered out this mechanic so that it more closely resembles something like Assassins Creed, where youll sidle through gaps, edge around people as they walk by, and stumble yourself should you run full pelt into an approaching citizen. True, I guess this isnt of immediate importance to the GTA franchise; if anything my criticism represents a very minor gripe. But GTA V must represent significant improvement from the last game right, even in relatively unimportant areas? Otherwise, whats the point? But having said that, Id be surprised if this wasnt something that was already on R*s agenda.
