While there are no 'Cover Mechanics' in GTA3 or VC, you can theoretically take cover behind walls and cars.

[@etelkakolcsei4230]

That's true

[@xxjade_chocolate_rosexx3296]

With taking cover, I think the reason R* made it so only Niko could do cool cover animations is because of his backstory. He was in the military so he most likely learnt how to take proper cover and how to do so. In GTA 5 the characters there are most likely thought out as they just want to get to cover no need for cool, fancy shit. Then again that's just a theory and I could be 100% wrong, but it makes sense!

[@jorjishnurmani9282]

[@avramnovorra]

I remember GTA Vice City's crouching mechanic and finding it useful as a kid, San Andreas' mobility while crouched behind cover was awesome, GTA 4 suck me into the action and made my firefights feel dangerous, and GTA 5's made me feel like a fun action movie... all different flavors of cover over the years

6:38 correction: you can actually use peeking in GTA IV. If you use the manual aim or right click to aim in the settings

[@muhdfarezwan2027]

Yes,on pc we just press right click

[@ENXGMA_YT]

True! my mistake.

[@patcfg930]

Fun fact: cover blindfire in the pc version of GTA 4 (mouse specifically) is op. It has the same precision when you're peeking or aiming with right click so that makes the game easier. Of course in console or plugging a controller on pc will make the blindfire less accurate as intended to be.

[@Tact_soldier]

A couple of things to point out about GTA V's cover logic: 1. Your character can perform a unique cover swap animation if two bits of cover are parallel to each other and are slightly far between each other (e.g. doorways, boxes, parked cars.) To do this: you must take cover, then move your character in the direction of the cover you want to move to, then while still holding in the same direction (I think when your character starts doing the peaking animation), press the take cover button again. 2. You can even fire off your gun while cover swapping by shooting your gun while the animation is playing 3. Peaking is not entirely useless in GTA V, you can use it to take more time in accurately aiming your reticle at enemies without having to expose yourself unnecessarily, especially if they're constantly ducking in and out of cover (got this one from one of DarkViperAu's Facts and Glitches eps.)

[@Lietuviski_Serialai]

Ah, yes, the orange Australian guy

[@cyber_axle538]

Aswell as being able to rapid fire the grenade launcher

[@justarandompolishguy1513]

6:34 It is not pointless, if you want to shoot from behind cover without it you shoot everywhere, if you peek out from behind cover a dot will appear so you can aim

One aspect of cover blind fire that i like in gta 5 is that there is no crosshair while you are shooting blind whereas it is present in gta 4. So, in a sense even if you are firing blind in gta 4 you always know where your round is going to hit but it is not so in gta 5 which imo is a nice detail.

[@Zeekr647]

[@krklee77]

I was ALWAYS disappointed that the slide-and-roll animations got cut from 4 to 5. It was so super neat and fun to pull off to me. The first thing I noticed was when the first firefight broke out at the beginning of GTA 5. Hopefully, 6 can have more dynamic cover mechanics. Check out the ( very sadly ) canceled Eight Days for PS3 and its cover/ traversal mechanics. It'd be super dope if GTA 6 had that to always have firefights that feel flashy and spiced up. Or even each character has a specific animation tailored just for them!

[@zzainn10]

8:01 niko badass moment

[@Jonas-ej7id]

You forgot to mention the differences between blind fire in IV and V! It's accurate as hell in GTA IV because you can still see the crosshair and the bullets go exactly where you shoot. It makes combat stupidly easy in that game. In GTA V, there's no crosshair while blindfiring and also you accuracy will be off. You kinda have to peek or leave cover to be accurate. It makes combat more challenging than IV

GTA IV's gunfire is different when you play with a keyboard/mouse or controller/console. There's that bullet spread thing when you play it PS3/XBOX or on PC with a controller. They won't easily hit the target like how it does with a keyboard.

Peeking is actually a bit useful in gta 5 because you can shoot without being shot back (the aim is not very good tho)

In GTA Online it’s kinda pointless against the AI because they’re gonna hit you anyway unless you’re in a crouch cover position
