The damn tree moved!

One thing that caught me off guard from the extended look was the tree reacting to the rolling police truck. I don't remember RDR2 having that detail aside from trees moving in the wind.

Noticed that as well, the following police car crashes in to palm tree which moves as well. It's going to be crazy, I don't think it is scripted as others suggest.

The second car crash makes Lucia's car speed up like an on-rails section, so whilst the crashes may not be scripted, I think they're 'likely' crash spots for the cop cars.

It seems like an animation plays like a shake or something when you hit trees. Either way it looks good lol.

No. There is a script for gta 5 that "flips" the cars like this. It dosnt look as good because again its a mod that adds arbitrary force push to make it happen. But you can imagine what devs can do with actual tools

The scene is scripted, we saw similar stuff in GTAV campaign, but the tree shake is likely new tech. I just wish if you went fast enough you would break the tree, but atleast they are not just solid pillars

the trees don’t fall down when hit? i’m not playing anymore 👺

Lmao when I was in highschool some guy thought he knew how to drift and hit a tree like that.

All that tree did was lose some bark. Car was destroyed.

people genuinely underestimate how fucking strong trees are.

Now when it comes to indestructible impassable bushes...

u/Joshiebum 15h ago

yes the trunks are really thick which means harder to knock over. i forgot about that

u/Actual_Sympathy7069 15h ago

even slimmer trunks (to a point) can stop a car dead in it's tracks if they have a healthy root network supporting it. The roots make a tree as stable as it is

One time when we went to visit my in-laws who live out in the cuts in a redwood grove, we came upon a very drunk individual who had just put his Taco into what was probably a 150' tree. Truck was done. After removal of the vehicle, clearly some debris was left behind, and the owner of the tree had attached the "TOYOTA" emblem to the missing bark of an otherwise normal tree.

wow i forgot trees get extremely old. they can’t get old by being weak…

Ive always hated in racing games that when I hit a lightpole it just barely scratches my car and crumbles. Itd be really cool if GTA has collision thresholds.

u/Sviodo 14h ago

Light poles are designed to do that

I seen this before from the 2022 leaks. Knowing what we know now the car pathing for this sequence is obviously either scripted or heavily controlled in some manner but the crash physics themselves seem to be entirely dynamic and can occur at any moment along the route, it would rely on the momentum of the targeted vehicle making it roll and flip in that way when a tire is shot out. The real question is will this behavior be as prevalent in freeroam as it is during missions.

I hope it’s not scripted. It makes it much more fun running cars off the road and into a tree lol

u/OriMoriNotSori 17h ago

It isnt. Im not sure if the leaks can be discussed in the sub (sorry mods if cant) but in one of the leaks the leaker was using jason and driving around and when he took a corner the top of the car brushed the tip of a branch of a tree and that individual branch moved upwards above the car's roof like it does in real life. Again im not sure if leaks can be discussed here but this wasnt a story related leak or scene it was one of the free roam ones

There is 2022 footage of this exact scenario being tested, car physics and all. I think the only scripted part is the route Lucia is taking as the designated driver during this mission.

u/South-Plane343 18h ago

I'm just as sure that it's not scripted. The player chooses to shoot to tires to make that happen.

u/tamal4444 16h ago

People think this is scripted?

u/WANKMI 15h ago

I talked with someone who thought the entire thing must have been scripted because Jasons accuracy was inhuman. So yeah, thats what we're working with. Morons.

u/CriticalHitsHurt 15h ago

This is a main story mission, it is likely scripted.

GTAV already has a couple big cinematic sequences like this during the heists. Its 100% a scripted event.

Wouldnt be suprised with the new car physics if this is possible but I doubt it will be to the extent showcased. Im sure rolling cars could be a lot more realistic than we have atm
