In GTA 3 and Vice City there are cheats which allow the player to play as NPCs since those games have single outfits mechanic; this was scrapped in SA & IV since these games contain buyable clothes, models, and perfect lip syncing, it is very common to crash the game on [[Cutscene|cutscenes]] with these mechanics, there are mods that will let you play as NPCs though. | In GTA 3 and Vice City there are cheats which allow the player to play as NPCs since those games have single outfits mechanic; this was scrapped in SA & IV since these games contain buyable clothes, models, and perfect lip syncing, it is very common to crash the game on [[Cutscene|cutscenes]] with these mechanics, there are mods that will let you play as NPCs though. | ||
The pedestrians in GTA III to GTA Vice City Stories | The pedestrians in GTA III to GTA Vice City Stories suffered from "clumping" in which the same models of pedestrian appear very often, sometimes even two pedestrians of the same model can be seen speaking to each other. This glitch was fixed in GTA IV. Though another glitch; "car clumping" which causes many of the same car model to spawn together, remains. Pedestrians throughout the GTA III era are identifiable due to the repeated clothing and models. | ||
However in GTA IV, pedestrian models are varied and there are much more of them. Two pedestrians of the same model never appear together on the screen at one time. In addition, certain pedestrian's are only found in apprpriate places, and their behavior is much more realistic and distiguishable to that particular pedestrian. For example, homeless people will hang around in back alleys, lie around on the streets and ask other people, including the protagonist for spare change. Russian immigrants will hang around Hove Beach in Broker close to where the ships dock, rich suited buisnessmen can be found in Downtown Algonquin and criminals such as muggers and carjackers will hang around Bohan. Also, prostitutes only appear at night around the gritty areas of the city. | |||
Behavior includes smoking, talking on the phone, sitting on park benches and reading newspapers, conversing with other's, carrying home shopping and generally doing things one should expect a random person on the streets to do. | |||
