Would it be cool if the upcoming GTA 5 had the red faction guerilla engine?

If GTA 5 had the red faction guerilla engine i would be able to demolish buildings all day long :D

Would the current generation of consoles be up to it, considering GTA's rather large world (usually) ?

it would be terrible, the engine does not look very good compared to others and it would ruin the single player story. It would be cool if there was like an arcade mode where you run around and blow stuff up while doing the normal gta stuff, other that that, then not cool at all.

I can see why you would like gta 5 to have that engine but the thing is GTA has never been about destroying your environment, where as in RF: guerilla that was one of the main focus points within the game.

Consoles wouldn't be able to handle it. :P They can barely handle the engine as is on a limited scale. Stevo_the_gamer

Any open world game in a city would be cool with that engine. It even has better destruction than the frostbite engine but

1) its a pain to build every building piece by piece like they did

2) huge system requirements to run it all

3) It wouldn't work with conventional buildings. In red faction they were almost like styrofoam mars buildings.

Yes, it would.

It would be cool, but work well? Nah I couldn't see it, too many problems with that.
