GTA Vice City Mysteries - Myth 7 - Ghost Ships

[TheDirectorKing]

what do you use microsoft paint for ?

[Gravedefencesupport]

Whats the song pls tell me?

[FromaticFTW]

You can tell that these Ghost Ships if even that are 2D instead of 3D. If anything they're add something in the draw distance instead of there being nothing. Unless we get information from Rockstar themselves we'll never know if they're actually Ghost Ships or simply a background image that fades purposely.

What we do know is that they're 2D images, almost look cutout.

[GtaMythHuntersFTW]

not trying to bust your bubble, but thats probably just a far-away ship, like the u"ufo's" are just far away plane, love myth hunting tho do it myself

[mynameisCloverLynx]

Looks like a navy ship. R* might've added it for the effect of Large vessels far away, but lacked the graphics to actually have one that far away.

Btw I'm coming back after GTA V

[iCanSlapATomato]

straaange.i played gta vice city but i saw those ghost ships only at night,i didnt knew that they apear even at adaytime.

[BurritoMaster55]

R u gonna make more vids?

[aryasmaradyota]

it's real i find it while i using infernus with seaways cheatcode at the beach it gan when i want to see with my sniper :(

[QBalint2MembershipCP]

In the game folder, theres a folder called "models". Inside it is a texture file called "particles.txd" or something. There are the textures of the ghost ships, they are just to make the ocean look full.

[roflmao897]

Maybe R* is giving us hints about a new game they're making? or maybe it is about a part of a game that R* made. Who knows?

[shadowrox325]

Its likely just a faroff boat..

[unknown6266]

fix your graphic card man

[GTAMyths1]

@unknown6266 Those were the best graphics possible in Vice City. A graphics card doesn't make games look any better, it just enables you to play them (except a few features, such as anti-aliasing, which can depend on the card). A top of the range graphics card wouldn't make this look any better than mine does.

[Adyman182]

You are the best myth hunter,I think even better than cfox3o6!

[Gbglitches]

This looked like some sort of glitch. But this was really convincing.

[MysteriousMan26]

man i love your gta myths keep up the good work

[sector183]

where is myth 8?



[Dazb2012]

could these ships dissapear due to the render distance?

[GTAMyths1]

@Dazb2012 Nope, or they'd have disappeared when I was far away, not when I sailed closer to it.

[RpandasBLACKorWHITE]

That song makes everything interesting

[turkniktout]

I saw many "ghost ships" when I was younger and played GTA VC...good memories.

[TheSeanKelleher]

did anyone notice the ghost ship in the beginning and that he didn't notice

[ProCounterStriker]

gta is a glitchy game, if u park ur car hhere and come back it is gone, this doesnt meen these ships r ghost ships,it looked grey and transparent because it was far and maybe a glitch, maybe....

[predators41]

seen them lods of times

[gtr7387]

looks like the sunken reefer that u found

[2000bobbyjoe]

I'm a big fan of u and cfox306

[thelegoaddict180]

the ships might be fake so that it looks like there are many ships out in the ocean but (no offence) they might have been to lazy to code them so that they would not dissapier when you go near them!

[isaacmuscat]

Wow, You cant drive that for out to see the ship?? right ? Great vid too.

[TheRoCraftian]

You are rlly makeing these vids creepy aint ya.

[CrashBandic00t96]

you're fucking awesome

[sparkey989]

One day I'm gonna make a free roam game and fill it with easter eggs to fuck with people.

[LugiaAlexChannel1]

yeah i have vice city to when i watched this video i checked my game and the same thing happend with me

[X1josch1X]

dang even the old gta games still have a lot of myths i wonder about gta 5

[TheLeiGhh]

@X1josch1X personally il be looking for all SA myths in gta v

[stilldreday123]

What? What?  What? What? What?

[ChillTehFreak]

lol Titanic

[Amuffinajab]

Nice new theme!

[pcgamer500]

i think that either the programers put that there to intrest the player,or they where to lazy and forgot about it

[anothga]

I strongly believe those ships are simply "despawning" when they reach the end of the map.

[Deidara1BG]

You finally did a video of my suggestion ! =D Was going to do one aswell,but i uninstalled my VC by mistake.

[RoShAnOWNEDyou]

NEw video!

[gaurav23026]

i'm sure that GTA have the so called "Myths" are just myths actually all are graphical problems and bugs glitches.

but i love how you describe these mysteries and dig em out.

really great observation!

[GTAMyths1]

A couple of points about the music:

1. I changed the X-Files theme because of hundreds of comments saying it was old and overused. If you don't like the change, blame the other viewers.

2. The title of the music is in the credits, and all comments asking for the name will be deleted.

[RoShAnOWNEDyou]

@GTAMyths1 I like this song more.

[borisgilis]

@GTAMyths1 i more liked the other song :)

sounds more creepy xD

[A7XFan800]

@borisgilis and that's the reason why i muted this video.

[tkd1501]

@GTAMyths1 hey bro are you planning to do anymore of these vids, if you are can do some more myth hunting in gta 4?

[Thezombieslayer175]

@GTAMyths1 if you can, can you make gta 5 myths?

[RockStarmyths]

finnaly!

[GreekScykoTV]

@shadow4g5 Exactly

[mahsanshiek11]

whats the name of song?

[mahsanshiek11]

go see where it disappeared.

[DarkMythHunter]

@mahsanshiek11 You actually cant go to see.. because your boat/airplane/helicopter will be turned back to the city, you cant go to explore the whole sea like San Andreas...

[mahsanshiek11]

@DarkMythHunter i thought it was near.

[DarkMythHunter]

Finally i've been waiting it like hell!

[xbaguvixx]

YUOR BAAAAAAAAAACK

[N0Socks]

[TheAsds10]

I think I pissed and shat myself when I saw this video..

[gtaismylife2486]

[gushers114]

It's gotta be a graphical glitch, and I'm glad your back! :D

[eliack95]

[shadow4g5]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK HE SHOULD DO RED DEAD REDEMPTION MYTHS TO HOLD US OFF UNTIL GTA V!

[nissan244]

i miss hunting for myths in GTA`s... *SIGH* but GTA V is coming out so there will be tons to explore. and also im started Saints Row The Third Myth hunting.

[Fotmia]

Yay! Your back :)

[ThirstyHyena]

[GPMSharpCommand]

I've missed your videos. I hope Rockstar will put loads of myths into GTA V so you can investigate them. :)

[aznknight69]

happy 5000th dude

[ZombieSquid2]

YAY

[MrSuper2323]

epic vid dude :D

[pavlo1207]

awesome  music)

[JamesRCoston]

Maybe, it's the end result of a very cool game created by R*? Not a mystery at all, but merely a added detail to the game? Or is that a little bit too much to comprehend and the notion of it being a 'ghost ship' sounds more correct and accurate?

Forgive my advocate, stern approach and analysis, I am a video games developer.

[GTAMyths1]

@JamesRCoston

Good point, but I've done some basic games developing myself and I wouldn't be so lazy as to simply code the ships to disappear... so Rockstar Games, with all of their professional coders; you'd think they'd at least remove the ships when the players aren't looking at them rather than blatantly making them disappear - unless they wanted us to see them disappear.

[JamesRCoston]

@GTAMyths1 Well, when an object is suppose to disappear when the player is not looking at them is called object dissipation. And it is a technique that is not always guaranteed to work especially if you're bobbing up and down because of the water. The maths behind it is very complex, but essentially the game tries to guess when the player's camera is not facing the object that is queued to be removed. It could be a rendering issue, or just because it's so far away; like parallax scrolling?

[JamesRCoston]

@GTAMyths1 Or it could of been put there simply for detail, but they didn't really refine the whole idea. I mean, it's not exactly something I myself would be working on as it is merely a detail. Rockstar is known for always removing objects when the player's camera is facing in another direction, so maybe they learnt from Vice City? Sometimes, vehicles and even NPCs would just disappear while you were looking at them. It even happens in GTA IV sometimes. The game is trying to fix itself.

[MegaMythhunter]

Finally man! I've been waiting for a new video. Well, I heard that those supposed ghost ships are sinking because of a sea monster that is rumoured to be in the Vice City waters. The sunken boat, the sunken ship and the car grave are also rumoured to be caused by a sea monster.

[FlowMega100]

epicc one dude!

[thecandyman0838]
