Grand Theft Auto 4 to have realistic drunks due to Euphoria

Using the power of NaturalMotion's Euphoria technology, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 4 (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3) promises the most convincing drunkenness in video games to date.

NaturalMotion's CEO Torsten Reil explained how protagonist Niko Bellic will move realistically after downing a few bottles, and we're definitely eager to see Grand Theft Auto 4 in action after hearing what he had to say.

According to Reil and NaturalMotion's head of technology Simon Mack, Euphoria is a full AI and motion system that creates characters with fully simulated bodies, muscles and nervous systems. Rockstar used this technology together with other physics middleware to create AI character reactions coupled with accurate animation in Grand Theft Auto 4.

NaturalMotion is developing its own game, Backbreaker, which will employ Euphoria to create a realistic football game where players have limitless ways tackle. Learn more about it by clicking on the "Via" link below.
