WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO EUPHORIA?

Can we discuss this?

GTA IV
>Amazing, animated physics, characters react realistically to anything
>Would grab car doors, hold on to ledges, roll down stairs

RDR
>Physics got even better, characters had incredible, animated deaths
>Enemies grab the place they got shot, get wounded properly
>Arguably the best ragdoll/death physics in gaming

GTA V
>Euphoria is practically GONE
>Enemies fall flat to the ground, no wounding, no twitching, no phyicalized animations
>Drunk mode is completely ruined


Just compare THIS (RDR):

To THIS (GTA V):

The difference is night and day
So what the hell happened to Euphoria?
Why did Rockstar remove it??

What's the performance of that?

Euphoria was fucking unrealistic, it was more fun, but it was unrealistic as hell.

I imagine Rockstar had to trim it down to make gta 5 work well in online. I can't imagine any other reason they would cut the fun out of their games.

It's not like rag dolls were any better.

Don't affect the gameplay much desu

They finally realised people will buy anything called GTA.

The GTA V one is literally better in every single way you contrarian little shit faggot

>online
This. It ruined single player GTA forever.

It made doing practically anything in the game more fun.

Rockstar didn't make Euphoria. Some legal issue made them attempt to make their own it's just not as good.

wrongest post award of 2017

But it isn't, you poopy pants.

I remember playing around with the Euphoria engine back when GTAIV wasn't out, it was so damn fun to mess around with the ragdolls. Yeah seems like its just abandoned for some reason even though they're probably the most fun ragdolls have ever been. Maybe its more realistic for bodies to just slump when shot, but that doesn't mean it looks better.

So you're saying it's better?

If I recall correctly the license was very expensive and developers moved on.

>euphoria was unrealistic

Euphoria doesn't work well with online games since it's all calculated locally which means even a millisecond of lag can butterfly effect away and make a character stumble left for one player while stumbling right for another. Better to just have NPCs just plop to the ground and die straight away.

I don't think I'd have put nearly as many hours as I did into IV if it didn't have euphoria. shit was so cash

It takes a lot of effort to implement well and this is modern Rockstar we're talking about here

It still has Euphoria, they just toned it down because the game is bigger than IV and RDR but still had to run on 2005/2006 hardware.

Because faggots liked Razorfist kept shitting down people's throats saying that Euphoria sucked and was unrealistic.

Forget about realism, it made shooting people a thousand times more satisfying, and I don't know of any better system.

Was there ever a time the vox populi possessed original opinions and didn't regurgitate what people of higher stature told them to think?

Euphoria is one of the worst things about GTA

Euphoria was pretty awful, but Nemu is a miracle

Y'all niggas high.
