Hah, that's the first (serious) glitch I've seen in about an hour of watching. It periodically respawns in a random part of the world, and looks like it had the bad luck to respawn in a mineshaft this time.
I'm actually surprised it doesn't get stuck more often in other situations. Its controller seems pretty good at avoiding it.
It looks like it can or is maybe learning to. Two guys were standing on the sidewalk and it just murdered one with its antlers or possibly a head-butt. It was about to go for the second but suddenly re-spawned in the airport for some reason.
The animals in GTA:V do have attacks (sharks, dogs and mountain cats bite, etc). If you use a mod to play as an animal it becomes your melee attack.
Modding support in the GTA series is excellent, and has spawned a large community. It's refreshing to see as locked down games with DLC sold for extra are becoming the norm, with a few notable exceptions such as the Fallout series.
I've been having a lot of fun using a police mod where you can spawn FIB elite units that are allies. It'd be great to command an animal army as well!
What if it doesn't respawn, but instead a new deer spawns and the camera moves to follow that new deer? Eventually, the deer could multiply then overrun the world!
Kinda reminds me of this game No Man's Sky. It's worlds are procedurally generated by algorithms and dictated by rules. Their test suite is basically robots that fly around the world and continually check to make sure things are okay. http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/3/8140343/no-mans-sky-space-pr...
I'm legitimately looking forward to a "bird cam". If I can run it locally, I'm setting it up for Ultra-High with HighDef textures and leaving it streaming in the office. I love the GTA V cityscape.
The world in GTAV is seriously an achievement. I can say that there were points playing through it that I legitimately had to stop just to marvel at the view.
Edit 2: I've also found that these Cardboard-style VR things work with the "cross view" technique: https://m.reddit.com/r/CrossView/about if you don't have anything aside from a screen but still wish to play along :)
Honestly, why not though? Write a sufficient enough AI, get your camera angles right, and slow down the decision tree with some dialogue, and you've essentially got a movie. Not saying it'll be grand, but it certainly won't be the worst thing produced in a given year; probably guaranteed to be the best for a given cost.
Further on that, you could probably create a batshit-insane zoo of some sort which combined a variety of animals in a fixed environment. Make it an Apple TV app/channel.
In a physical zoo experience, the animals are caged and often just hide out the day. In the batshit-insane zoo, they'd be entertaining everyone all the time without any animal welfare issues.
In can foresee a time where the majority of people (e.g., not purists or those with money to travel) are more regularly entertained by virtual animals than the real thing.
Take GTA V, add Godzilla and let the public watch what happens.
Salty Bet does something very similar to that. When there's no major e-sports matches going on, various automated fighting game characters (including custom community submitted characters) are pitted against one another in fights, which are streamed live.
What browser? I'm using chrome, and I had to use the devtools to hide the overlays so I could get it to play. Now the video is showing behind the text on the page, but at least I can see it.
Getting streaming to work in HTML5 is magnitudes harder than normal video. You can't compare Twitch to other web video players. In fact, there is no official support for live streaming in HTML5.
I just watched a tank shoot at the deer point blank to knock it down and then run over it. The deer promptly got back up and started running away.
The deer currently has a 4-star rating, and I don't know how it's going to remove those stars since it doesn't look like it's programmed to try and hide from the police. Looks like it's a fugitive for life.
EDIT: Okay the stars went away, not sure how that happened. It's been a while since I've played.
EDIT2: I think I know what happened. The deer was in the airport, and that gets you automatic police attention. As soon as the deer was chased out of the airport by the tanks, the stars went away.
Modification of GTA V that creates and follows a deer wandering through the fictional state of San Andreas. The deer character is autonomous and will wander and respond to it's surroundings, interacting with the existing GTA V artifical intelligence.
Guessing they've just replaced the player skin with that of the deer. Would make sense, since a program could read the players position from memory and pick random targets or directions for it to head towards. Also makes sense why it would be shot at...

Edit: Didn't know it respawns to a new location pretty often.
For a video game, that is pretty impressive.
Edit: if you have a Google Cardboard-type device and a iOS or Android device to go with it, https://www.vg247.com/2015/09/24/just-cause-3-vr-app-ios-and...

Even Red Dead Redemption and Just Cause 2 achieved that a few years earlier.
Someone should extend this to script a series of characters in various games and automate Twitch production to make a living.

That or amazon did for sure (owns Twitch)
and germany.
The audience places bets.
html5=true will play html5.
But I had to disable every possible ad/tracking blocker (even Firefox native) for it to work, kind of ridiculous.
P.S. The deer crashed, so its not moving.

In GTA, you'd have to die or get away from the police long enough to lose the stars, and obviously the deer did neither...
It was probably teleported into the airport, then shot at by the police and army for a while until it was teleported out.
