It can be seen rarely when killing a pedestrian, falling in an animated way, or completely removing ragdoll with modsthe beta animations will be used instead. GTA IVin the beta, didn't have ragdoll physics. It is unknown why this occurs, but it could be a glitch.

Physics in older games As ragdoll physics were added in Grand Theft Auto IVin previous games if a player or NPC falls off a building or hill they would fall completely flat even if the ground below is steep.

If a player or NPC is hit by a car in a game previous to Grand Theft Auto IVthey will fall on their back and then get back up if not killed, or they will fall the same way but slide over the top of the car in Grand Theft Auto IVNiko or an NPC will fly over the top of the car and can hit the ground in many different ways depending on how high they fall, the speed of the car, and the angle of the collision.ДЇandom may earn an affiliate commission on sales made from links on this page. In Grand Theft Auto IVif the player falls from a low height Niko will do a stunt roll, but in previous games the player will fall flat on their feet, able to keep moving, with a slight bend forward this is very hard to notice, but still there in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Even if the player or NPC dies from the impact of the fall they will still hit the ground the same way.

As ragdoll physics were added in Grand Theft Auto IVin previous games if a player or NPC falls off a building or hill they would fall completely flat even if the ground below is steep.ДЄlso if a player or NPC falls on the ground he will land with both feet on the ground and then fall flat.

However, when a NPC or protagonist is dead, the ragdoll still flips and slides on the ground, unlike in GTA IVwhere after landing they would only slide for around a meter. This is much more realistic, as if a person falls from a great height, they would move their arms and legs in random ways. During the freefall time, they will be facing the sky most times moving their arms and legs without stopping. When falling from a mountain, the smallest touch can be fatal to the player, they will keep rolling until they land on a flat surface or a rock, also when falling from a building, they will instantly roll in the air screaming. When they bail out a car, they will try to brace themselves, but instead of flipping or bouncing, they will slide on the road until they stop, when they are stopped, before getting up, they will stay on the ground as they were taking a break or been in pain. In Grand Theft Auto Vthe ragdoll physics have been reduced in bouncing and duration of the flips and impacts, but leave much more damage to the protagonist. This feature adds realism and a sense of more control in the game. Ragdoll physics are a bit inconvenient at certain times, especially when bailing out of a vehicle or ejecting involuntarily out of a vehicle, unlike the previous renditions, as the player may continue to flop around until death. This is added for realism as real life people will automatically brace themselves whenever they are thrown. If a protagonist or NPC is killed by getting hit by a car, their body will be thrown about lifelessly without bracing. Up until they are killed, they will continue to brace their face with their arms and their legs in the fetal position. When a protagonist or NPC gets hit by with a car but doesn't die from the impactthey will brace themselves as they are getting thrown about the road. When the ragdoll effects on NPC or protagonist is activated by having them hit by a car, falling, etc. However, unlike other games that use ragdoll physics, characters in GTA games do not seem to be affected to the fullest extent and still conform to some preset animations, thus assuming a more 'human' posture and not like a dummy being thrown around eg. Their bodies will conform to any objects realistically and can be moved around by collisions and bullets. Characters no longer lie flat and static on surfaces. The affected model essentially behaves like a 'ragdoll', hence the name. With ragdoll physics, players and NPCs lie on the ground dynamically.
