Fire: Difference between revisions

[[Grand Theft Auto III]] retools the effects of fire with devastating results. Upon impact after being tossed, a molotov cocktail generates a ring of fire in its vicinity, torching anything within it, and leaving a temporarily lingering blaze in the center. In addition, fire may now continuously burn a vehicle, and the player themselves may also be burned if in contact of a flame. The flamethrower, however, functions similar as before. The concept of severely damaged vehicles in flames was also brought over to GTA III, but is used simply to indicate a vehicle is completely damaged and is on the verge of exploding.

While nothing has changed in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] modified and extended the fire's presence in game. Explosions of any form may generate fire in its surrounding, and fire has the ability to grow, spread and die out. These features, however, are not seen in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] or [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], as both games used a modified variant of the GTA Vice City game engine, resulting in GTA III/GTA Vice City-like fire mechanics. If the player lingers around the fire it will continue to grow, it does not simply burn out.
