being as free roaming anywhere is meant to be a big selling point for this game, presummably at some point you will take your ------- cross country and whilst admiring the view out of the rear mirror you dont notice a steep hill/6 ft cliff and you end up in a situation where your car will end up rolling sideways should this be the real world.

this is where my question starts:

what would happen?

A) would the car roll over as it would do in real life, maybe rolling on its roof or on its wheels but no more than 1 and 1/2 rotations

B) not roll at all, if it were on the hill it would just hold tight to the ground unnafected or if it were the cliff maybe just slightly tilting but not anything that would threaten a rotation

C) flip over and when it lands it gives a rediculous number of rotations about 8 maybe after it lands rolling for ages in a gta like stylee

my second question is:
if the car does flip then how would the car recover?

A) would the car maybe stay as it was for a bit, then just pop 4 feet up and after a flash drop to the ground (thinks of a dreamcast classic called vanishing point)

B) roll off its roof through 180 degrees back onto its wheels

C) be sent to the location selector map to get and pick a new location to spawn

D) and going into fantasy world here, phone the Oahu equivilent of the RAC, in the meantime sorting out a way to get their car back (imagines the animations of a little dude running around looking for logs to use as levers and using them to flip a heavy american muscle car back onto its wheels)


yes its picky, im just wondering what will happen

If you read it carefully, you might understand.

I might think that barriers will be on the edge of all cliffs so you cant roll over

I like detail

basically i was asking how/if your car could tip and how it would get back onto its wheels, i have seen some really naff effects around and i was wondering if this would be the same :atari:

p.s. simon008 please use real words on the forums, not text talk, the words 'what' and 'that' both have the letter 'A' in them, and 'any-one' is easier to understand than 'any 1' its not bad to use text talk when you're using msn and are in a hurry, but when you are making pointless replies to forums that will hover around in cyberspace forever and a day it just makes you seem like an illiterate chav! :mad:

I would think that cars would roll over but if you get stuck on your roof then it will put you on the nearest road.

yeah if you can roll your car over that is probably what would happen
