GTA4...BOWLING?
« on: May 03, 2008, 08:25:28 PM »
Yeah, bowling is now in GTA4. The first vid shows off the very nice THS down on the lanes (JK), while the second is just a (apparently very good) straight bowler. For the first, advance a few minutes or so in to get to the bowling.

I've wanted to drive like that leaving the bowling alley on a few occasions.

Considering it's in a game where you can beat a hooker to death and make a few hundred, I wouldn't worry too much about the cost of bowling.

looks like in the first one it is some kind of reverse block pattern or reverse pyramid shot, the farther out you go the more oil is there.    The second it seems like a ton of oil down the middle, the ball just don't move.  

I think the bowling cost is outrageous but considering what RevTrex said it ain't too bad.  

I have always wanted to drive like that leaving the bowling alley too after a bad night.  I just wish I didn't have one damn expensive car!  

I also agree with lsf about shooting spares, that looks like me, trying to hook it back from the 1 board on every spare.

i bet that approach would be odd to slide on with the boards going the direction that they are.

I think you may have something there lsf.  I would love to see that in a bowling alley.  More of a challenge to slide and won't get damaged approaches from people sliding too much.  

One thing I just noticed that makes that guy like me.  He goes way out on the first shot and it comes back but every shot after that it hangs there.  Seems like an inconsistent release to me.
