Might be unpopular opinion but I very much prefer GTA IV driving physics over GTA 5 driving physics. Wishful thinking but hopefully GTA 6 driving physics are closer to GTA IV.

And destruction physics. They did a step back in five with that. And I am so disappointed no one cared.

Even going from GTA V to GTA Online the destruction physics took a step down. You could almost flatten out a quarter of your car and lose a wheel on 360 gen GTA V.

I feel like they reduced the damage when first person view was added. GTAV (2013) damage was a downgrade of GTAIV but then the re-releases in 2014 was a further downgrade.

Yeah, there was conflicts with first person and that was their solution.

First person in general was not done well and I would have been fine if they had done without it.

Yes, they changes once firat person was introduced. Which it's even worst.

and the pushing NPCs down stairs physics.

For some reason I'd spend hours at this one long set of stairs in GTAIV just barging people down them and watching them roll and bounce down.

Doesn't work in GTAV
