In Vehicle Invulnerability: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Night Driver]]'', released in 1976, brought that kind of invulnerability into first-person perspective.

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' in its earlier incarnations, unless you were on a motorcycle. In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', this gets [[Averted Trope|averted]] with cars as well; you can get thrown from the car if you crash hard enough, and enemies can shoot you through the windows.

** If you delay driving away for a second or two after entering a car, Nico does an in-car animation of putting on a seatbelt. If you let him do this, [[Truth in Television|he won't be thrown from]] [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|the vehicle in a crash]]; if you take off too fast, he skips this part, and he's free to ragdoll over the hood in a head-on. Likewise, if you delay after mounting a bike, he'll pull a helmet from Hammerspace, which lessens the damage taken when he's thrown from a bike.

* Likewise, cars in ''[[Just Cause (video game)|Just Cause 2]]'' seem to be made of Swiss cheese for all the protection it does you (read, almost none). That is, until you get to an APC-grade vehicles. Then again, why bother driving a vehicle when your primary means of getaway involves [[Crazy Awesome|infinitely respawning parachutes and a grappling hook?]]
