Evolution of COVER MECHANICS in GTA Games! (GTA 3 → GTA 5)

ENXGMA, Don't let your sound background change! its so relaxing to watch it.

The explosion was so terrible that Claude's vocal chords began working again. Also, the fact that he travelled to an alternate future is interesting

I've been depressed many weeks ago, and I was looking for youtube videos, I saw one of your videos and it was just perfect. The background music, edit. Thank you for these masterpieces.

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

I cant believe claude got flown so far that he ended up in the hd universe

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!

9:08 never knew a police officer could drag a dead/hurt officer to safety (cool detail)

9:08 notice how the police officer saving the injured officer That's a nice detail

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

7:11 are 10 years, i am learning about this detail, also the change in cover according to wall height

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.)

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.

2:16 I almost suffered a heart attack from this lmao

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

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

ENXGMA, don't give up! You're the best GTA channel

8:34 EPIC!! 🤯

GTA 4 has the best Physics.

3:52 his soul left his body

4:46 Those animations are fire ! 🔥🔥

Atmosphere in these videos and humor, are the reasons why i always click on notifications from this channel

That editing at the start tho😂

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.

The more I watch your videos the more I realize just how much better GTA 4 is compared to GTA 5 in pretty much anything. I love the different cover animations in GTA 4. I just them often.

0:23 Claude be like: why we are here to just suffer💀

You can also peak in GTA 4 while cover by clicking aim button

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!

5:03 SUIIIIIIIII

Actually, you can peek in GTA 4 by just clicking the aim button.

Niko's moves reflect his time in the army. Wish they'd done that to Trevor as well, as he would have got training

Cover animation like like the roll etc. Are present in GTA IV but not v but it actually makes sense cause niko was a soldier he could pull those moves because he was trained unlike Franklin Micheal and Trevor

00:28 HAHAHAHAHA!!! This made me laugh!!! Claude blew himself up with grenade and got stranded in the different universe!!!

7:45 that heli though

Finally I’m happy to see you post a video

In GTA 4, it is technically possible to peek out of cover. You just have to hold the aim button to do so, but Niko/Johnny/Luis won’t stick their head out as much as Michael/Franklin/Trevor.

ENXGMA's videos are always so entertaining to watch. His editing style has gotten so much better over the past few years. And that soundtrack is iconic to this channel.

8:01 niko badass moment

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

Nice content i love it! Keep it up!

The taking cover mechanic felt like such a huge thing back when I first played GTA IV in the late 2000s :)

4:28 CJ:-"CJ remember"

good work like always

That was soome Amazing and insane details homie 🤟🤟🏾🤟🏻

Man i used to watch your videos like 3 years ago and i just forgot about your channel. And i just saw it today. Just wanna let you know thx for being in my childhood. Your background music gives me so much nostalgia also. Please dont change that music. Thx ENXGMA

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

Back again with another banger

Always good to watch this gta logic videos ❤ We love u ENXGMA

I once saw a sidearoll cover animation in gta 4 but no idea what it triggers. and techically, you can peek in GTA 4 when aiming behind cover

8:09 if you use the pump in blindfire (the big one) it will shoot slowly, but if not in blindfire it will shoot a lot more 💀

Niko is most skilled character in gta series!

Im maybe not CJ but im still going to subscribe ❤.

Great, as always!

GTA IV was way ahead of it's time. A 2008 game that has better details and mechanics than many modern games.

Nice content, Enxgma 👍

I love your videos because it makes me happy and relaxed. Keep up the great channel.

Nice vidéo ❤

9:14 Police helping his wounded partner

Enxgama I Love Your Videos And Background Music Too ❤

I've been waiting for like three weeks and now... it's finally here!!🎉🎉

mannn love ur vidsssss big fan from 4 years ago

ENXGMA MY MAAAN GOOD TO SEE YOU MAN! I'M WAITING AND WAITING AND FINALLY BACK

You know what ? Your videos are very important for my mental health x) i finaly subscribed to your channel after years. Just one little suggestion, maybe it can be cool if you make a little conclusion at the end of the video. The end will be less "rude"

Popular opinion: this dude never runs out of ideas 😂

Cool video and i watch all your videos all the times and i like when gta 4 says cause in a video(that i dont now the name)niko says DIE BIRD (or smt like that)

Your background song is so iconic! This is the emblem of the channel! Don't change it!🙏🏻

Nice video 😁👍

Holy you are back

Happy 1 million subscriber enxgma 🎉❤

Just when I think there's nothing else that can possibly be tested in the GTA series, this guy pops up with a new vid! Respect💯💪

I think peeking does have a meaning, like you can enhance the accuracy of your blind fire shooting by peeking before doing it. So you don't have to get out of cover to head-shoot an enemy.

Peeking in GTA V is very useful. Not many people know that we can aim by using peeking, and then press the blind fire, the aim will go directly to you last peeking position.

After 3Week You Got Idea Nice Man!

I love all your videos❤❤

lovely video 🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations for 1 Million Subs In Advance :) Love From PAKISTAN

you're the best channel bro❤

GTA IV was such a milestone... one of the most underrated games of alltime ❤

Yayyy EXGMA IS BACK

theese videos are so cool whenever im sad it makes me happy the background music makes me feel relaxed

This channel gonna blow up to the tens of millions of subscribers once gta 6 drops and you deserve it bro

That's what Niko learned from the Soviet Union

GTA IV movement and physics still impresses to me this day no other open world game could beat it not even GTA 5, I didn't even notice there are multiple cover animations for Niko I really hope GTA 6 has something like this I love those ragdoll physics
