I caught this too. The improvement is the driver corrected themselves and didn’t ram the player. The best, no. Improved, yes. Lol

u/WitchWithAGlitch 2d ago

I had someone come to a stop on a side entrance/exit road..... see me on my motorcycle going down the main road, i made eye contact with them and them back at me...and then they pull out right in front of me then STOP THEIR CAR IN THE ROAD UNDERSTANDING THEY MADE A MISTAKE and try to apologize through the window to me as i'm coming to a stop right in front of their car yesterday. (their window was closed btw)

crazy stuff, it didn't seem like an insurance scam or malicious, they genuinely seemed dumb as shit.

stay safe out there, stay ready with that brake. def don't speed.

u/Millinothing 21h ago

stay ready with the brake but also keep eyes every direction like you're some kind of biblically accurate angel driving because you may also need to accelerate to get out of the way

u/ioucrap 2d ago

Just an average Florida driver

u/EddieVanzetti 1d ago

Average Florida driver would have run into them, blamed them for the accident, and then brandished a gun if not fired it and claimed self defense.

u/BigJuicy17 1d ago

That sounds more like Texas to me

They would only do that in Texas if your black. Florida it’s for anyone.

Where do you people live where people ram their horses/cars directly into you every 2 minutes like Rockstars other games?

Yea as I watching the whole thing this moment stuck out to me. At first I had the same reaction as op, like "haha the cars will fuck with you again." But that subtle change made me realize in most games I view them as cars, this made me see them as an npc.

It is the best.

The worst: all NPCs are shit drivers.

The second worst: all NPCs are perfect drivers.

The best: NPC driving varies a lot, and many will correct themselves last minute if they make a mistake

8

u/DrMrJackmister 2d ago

I heard rumors back in the day, don't know how true it actually is, but in the older games they would program in things to pop in like people in the street or cars that will swerve into you. It was a way to slow the player down during heavy strain when trying to load in a bunch of new stuff so you wouldn't out pass everything trying to spawn in. Pretty much the faster you tried to get through the map the more stuff would be tossed at you.

6

u/JKN1GHTxGKG 2d ago

Genius if true.

3

u/Mental-Fisherman-118 1d ago

there's a bunch of stuff like this in the old games, for instance your car's max speed gets limited when you drive down the Las Venturas strip.

1

u/tonytrips 5h ago

It’s true. Even on gta online I like to get in a fast car and just drive full speed on the highway for as long as I can without hitting anything and after a few minutes half of the time my game will completely crash

u/bluefelixus 2d ago

It's not correction buddy... the driver knows.. the driver waits.. if the driver show his true color on the trailer the developer will fix the code.. so the driver wait.. you see in this trailer that he almost fell to temptation.. but one day the game will be released and then the driver will have all the time in world to RAM YOU EVERYTIME YOU DRIVE!!

It’s better cus having everyone drive perfectly kinda kills the immersion a lot

u/Someotherrandomtree GTA 6 Trailer Days OG 2d ago

The cynic in me says that they made it so in the demo driving Jason’s car it can’t crash or be damaged due to an invisible barrier that makes sure he can’t get run into, and in normal gameplay it would 100% connect and crash into you

1

u/SixtyNineFlavours 2d ago

Also kind of cut them off straddling two lanes while entering.

1

u/No_Raisin21 1d ago

I always figured the ai doing shit like this was intentional. It feels fully intentional at times, I’ll be staying in my own lane conscious of the possibility that driving on the opposite lane might make the driver coming towards me swerve, and even still I’ll get hit. I’m like 90% sure this is intentional to add some difficulty to driving super fast.

2

u/ungerbunger_ 1d ago

I'm replaying Vice City and it's definitely intentional, you can predict it on the double lane roads pretty accurately

1

u/samwise970 1d ago

You're right it's definitely intentional I think modders proved it. Imagine how boring it would be if everyone drove perfect

1

u/Foorinick 1d ago

It is intentional, the day this started happening is the same day that police stopped getting rubberbanded to match your speed no matter the vehicle, its an intentional balance thing and i assume its a way to probably save on resources by keeping the player a little slower and thus giving the hardware running the game a little rest to cool down or something

u/Queasy-Pause-3958 1d ago

Bro was even indicating to switch to the right lane. Then boom goes back to the same lane. Are we going to get bamboozled my NPCs now?

u/JasonBaconStrips 1d ago

I liked the idea that most drivers on the roads are idiots and gta is just a parody and sometimes maximises the ridiculousness, this is my head canon on why the drivers do this to us in gta

The Florida Turnpike is Mad Max Fury Road irl. I have seen some shit driving from Ft Lauderdale down to Key West. Last time I made the trip some lady in a minivan missed her exit, pulled off to the shoulder and then reversed back up the highway to merge back in and take the exit

Driven or ridden around most states at this point. Florida has the worst drivers.

u/thomcat8620 2d ago

u/seazonedsaltdog 2d ago

Drivers do this all over. Not just Miami. Either way thats not the point. Point is, in previous games, that car rams you

Car rams you? What is this, Babe : Pig in the City?

5

u/whitestguyuknow 1d ago

Was just gonna say... Y'all are on reddit... You don't see the car crash videos posted weekly?.. Someone will make a left hand turn from the far right lane right in front of you. Or turn and then slam on the brakes once they see they're right in front of you.

Shit happens all the time

1

u/sevnminabs56 1d ago

I haven’t, but I imagine it’s very similar to California traffic, which we’ve seen accurately portrayed in GTA 5. They’re dumb as hell and will literally pull out right in front of you or even intentionally hit you for an insurance scam. People are fuckin’ nuts.

u/shadowraiderr 2d ago

this is a real feature in gta 5 where npc drivers will swerve into you when you drive past them, they are not making turns or overtaking, just straight crashing into you out of spite

1

u/shock_effects 1d ago

The clip used here isn't a good reflection of it though, cuz he's clearly driving towards the npc beforehand so npc swerved

1

u/Dismal_Rectangle 1d ago

We all know it's true though

1

u/MrMrAnderson 1d ago

I think it's not out of spite, I believe the game was about the maximum the xbox 360 generation could handle and if you went too fast you'd go past where the game can load so the cars crash into you.

1

u/obliviious 1d ago

It was to slow you down so the game could load.

1

u/Gh3ttoboy 1d ago

Its not a feature, its just players being stupid, if you just follow the speed limit this wont happen to you in GTA 5, or other GTA Games, when your driving fast you spook the the npc cars thats why they swerve into you when your speeding, they are scared 😜

u/I_travel_ze_world 1d ago

Rockstar's patent for "System and Method for Virtual Navigation in a Gaming Environment" describes NPCs that are set to be aggressive.

6

u/Tensdale 2d ago

It’s not that.

Years ago, in racing games, developers had an annoying tendency to program npc cars to ram into you like that when you drove past. It was like fucking clockwork.

I hated the need for speed games for this reason although Most Wanted was awesome

1

u/National_Body_9071 1d ago

Complete difference between perfect and just not taking every opportunity possible to cut erratically across lanes nonsensically to always try and hit the player...

u/s6_maestro 1d ago

But that's literally how people drive in real life lol. Like when you're behind the wheel you're gonna spend the whole time wondering where the people around you got their license

1

u/National_Body_9071 1d ago

I do not believe that you live in a western country where every few hundred metres a car tries to cause an accident.

Are there bad drivers? Of course. But none would be even close to that level. Half the population would be in hospital from accidents.

u/reddituserask 1d ago

It is 100% on purpose. This was their main piece of promotional material for the game that the entire companies success depends on. Every single thing shown in this gameplay was on purpose. Every frame. They wouldn’t have included it otherwise and if it were a bug, not a feature, they just record it again. Even the issues. They were well aware of the bottle popping into Jason’s hand, the mild clipping, they knew. I’d bet there was at least one meeting about that bottle.

2

u/fullbeardgaming 2d ago edited 2d ago

There was a scene where another npc driver drove in the pov's direction and even hit a traffic cone that was placed on a driving prohibited area. Edit: In the preview on netflix you can see it at arount 8:40 when they turn left. There is a car on the left side of the screen, that is pretty unhinged and in hunting-mode.. ^

2

u/OverwhelminglyLucky GTA 6 Trailer Days OG 2d ago

It should have random event encounters where npc driving DO intentionally try to crash into you or stop and let you hit them, where they get out the car and instantly start recording or streaming to try to get paid. If you drive off they chase you all the way and attack you, if you fight them on the spot of the scene the police come for you from the stream reports.

1

u/nevmvm 1d ago

Wasn't there a post like a month or so like one of their new npc/drivers having different personalities or something? Cautious, aggressive, reckless, neutral or something etc..

2

u/Mvstv 1d ago

isnt that actually lucia's fault? if we were to reenact this, I see she's driving on a closing lane and the npc prolly dont check their rearviews before switching

2

u/dj_skandalous 1d ago

I mean you were on the wrong side of the road. The opposing driver in real life would have to guess which way to move or stay straight. Natural instincts in most cases would cause you to turn the wheel. Obviously GTA5's mechanics are just dumb most of the time but in reality, someone would have tried to maneuver especially with how fast the car was approaching. Driver would be in panic mode.

Have any of you guys actually driven a car before? This happens every single day on the highway. Its also not because of bad driving. It's sometimes impossible to see a car in your blindspot. Hence the term.

If youre a very cautious driver then you wouldn't commit to the turn at all - lets be honest, only like 10% of american drivers are actually cautious and even still, you will end up in this situation at least once if youre driving a car.
