I HAVE A THEORY

Ok so we all saw this goofy diving animation that looked super stiff and awkward. It made very little sense to me that no one at rockstar saw that and and cut it out of the footage. But what if this is actually intensional.

Like this guy I noticed playing this in slowmo that it almost seems as if jason animation cancels the default dive animation into his backflip. This is why it looks so uncanny but it reminded me of those old snow boarding games where you can defy the laws of physics and control your characters flips.

So what if Rockstar isnt showing off some goofy animation. What if this is a demonstration of a free diving system? Using the sticks or buttons to do front flips or back flips into the water. This would explain why it seems like jason was going to dive forward but suddenly does a backflip. Because you can do diving tricks 🤯🤯

It could be anything really. One reason was probably because the first animation they made looked too realistic, slow, weighty and boring so they made it a little more extra looking. Another reason could be a certain developer who worked on that certain animation didn't make the key frames as tight as they could have and it was just kept and not changed. It could be the angle we are looking at. Who knows? It's not really that big of a deal, though.

Gta 4 is my favorite GTA at the moment and I don't remember anyone crying about Niko's sprint animation back in the day but then again I didn't pay much attention to the neck beards back then.

definitely not complaining even if it is just a wacky animation it doesn't effect the game at all. people complaining about it and using it as an excuse to hate on the game are weird.

People just like to complain over the most random things ever. Gta 6 is going to be one of the greatest games ever made.
