The first design was supposed to animate the weapon icons and pop them out of the slot when selected, implying a 3D effect.Lucas@LucasIsPersonalGTA 5 in its transition to Next Gen (PS4/XBONE/PC) had a scrapped &quot;3d&quot; version of the weapon wheel where it zoomed in and slices of it moved outwards#gta5 #gtaonline32828GTA 5 in its transition to Next Gen (PS4/XBONE/PC) had a scrapped &quot;3d&quot; version of the weapon wheel where it zoomed in and slices of it moved outwards#gta5 #gtaonline https://t.co/mfvJhQJ1c1They also shared another video demonstrating the new weapon wheel rotation effect. The icons rotate horizontally or vertically based on their position on the wheel. Unlike the previous effects that popped the weapons out of their slots, this one simply rotates them without the 3D effect.Lucas@LucasIsPersonalIt also had another mode supporting rotation, this video has it set to full 360 and is quite obviously not how it was intended to be used.w/ @logane_mcgeeSee r3.l7y.ca/t/old-3d-weapo… for a bit more info (sidenote, this domain is temporary)925It also had another mode supporting rotation, this video has it set to full 360 and is quite obviously not how it was intended to be used.w/ @logane_mcgeeSee r3.l7y.ca/t/old-3d-weapo… for a bit more info (sidenote, this domain is temporary) https://t.co/RPY5nlOJHqIn the third animation, the weapons were tilted slightly towards the center of their respective slots.logan@logane_mcgee@LucasIsPersonal presumably the second one is the one they were also leaning to, as it was the one left hardcoded in the files, presumably the weapons wouldve slightly shifted or so when hovered, but trying a subtler rotation would end up with them getting stuck, more like this original test7@LucasIsPersonal presumably the second one is the one they were also leaning to, as it was the one left hardcoded in the files, presumably the weapons wouldve slightly shifted or so when hovered, but trying a subtler rotation would end up with them getting stuck, more like this original test https://t.co/gET1hFtxPbBased on the source code a user named logan posted on the Random Rockstar Research website, both iterations were once enabled in the game for testing. While there is currently no easy way to enable the effects, the functions are still present in the game codes.Source codes for the weapon wheel animations (Image via Random Rockstar Research website)While rotational animation is a new addition to the game, Rockstar Games has included a 3D pop-up effect in GTA Trilogy. Players can see a brand new weapon wheel with a new effect, which was not present in the original versions.Users’ reactions to the new findingsMany users responded to the post, with some expressing their opinions on the new animations. The effects were appreciated by popular Rockstar informer Ben and a number of other users.Ben@videotech_@LucasIsPersonal I really like this!331@LucasIsPersonal I really like this!Dyskall@Dyskall@LucasIsPersonal why didn’t they do that, i like it101@LucasIsPersonal why didn’t they do that, i like itDravin@dsdevofficial@LucasIsPersonal I prefer this!@LucasIsPersonal I prefer this!User NorthernLaw praised the redesign and hoped Rockstar Games would include it with the PC release of the Expanded and Enhanced edition of the game.NorthernLaw@NorthernLawYT@LucasIsPersonal That makes it look really modern and really good actually! Wish they would have added this, it's a low chance but maybe with the PC release of E&amp;E they might still add it? Best case is it's added with the option to turn it off to the classic weapon wheel too!2@LucasIsPersonal That makes it look really modern and really good actually!
