MB#49: CARMAGEDDON for Grand Theft Auto IV
12 years ago
General
I saw a spider hanging from a tree get snatched away and gobbled up by an European sparrow. Poor spider, but what a sight.
I have been enjoying myself lately watching GTA4 Carmageddon. After all the mayhem and brutality of it all, I realised just how wonderful a simple change of the vehicles' "wbias" integers in the handling.cfg file is.
What starts out as just another open-world crime simulator becomes a hilarious and nightmarish game of survival, where vehicles are waiting to smash you to kingdom come at anytime anywhere you stand, including indoors! I see a lot of emergent gameplay thanks to the many YouTube players, who took it upon themselves to achieve objectives like "Find a boat and sail away from the city" or "Get to the airport and fly away in a helicopter", hopefully without being bludgeoned by a flying bus.
An great example of small changes in code resulting in more engaging gameplay.
