Now, I ain't sure if you know this but it's not necessarily a detail but something I kinda figured out with the police scanner. It's been here since GTA 2. Now by compass direction, we got North, South, East and West. But, there's one compass direction that you possibly haven't noticed during a car chase, shootouts, etc. And that's the center (central part of a location.) For example, if you commit a crime in the central part of Schottler, the police scanner will say that's there's "shots fired" in "central Schottler." Kinda of an obvious fact but I didn't realize this until a year and half ago. It's also the same with GTA EFLC (obviously) and GTA 5. Also, the police scanner doesn't give out the intercardinal compass directions (North-west, North-east, South-west, and South-east.) when the other GTA games did. Pretty weird. (It's the same thing for GTA 5 as well.)
@@ultimatecontagion Oh interesting! There's a lot of nice attention to detail with the police scanner system, so what if you were on the edge of Schottler? They'd just say Schottler?
@@InternetRob playing since gta 2 and i gotta say that gta IV is my favorite. Another detail of the game is the sound effect when you drive over a manhole
How do you get those camera shots. Like the one with the car window breaking after an explosion. I know it must be a mod or something but I really would like to know how you did it and what mod.
I remember this time in gta 4 when I was bullying this old Russian lady by throwing shit at her from the street and pushing her over and then these dudes sitting on the street corner got up and said something about teaching me a lesson and shoved me and they started beating the shit out of me when I pulled out my gun 2 reacted by running while one pulled out a sawed off he had and blew me to bits, I always appreciated this you’ll never get to see a situation actually escalate like this in gta 5 it’s one of the things I really appreciate about gta 4 the world and the people feel so alive and genuine
My favorite is going to far north Alderney and picking on Italians. They aren't often armed but sometimes they have mp5s or desert eagles. I also know near the first Hove beach safehouse that you can find variously armed Russians.
I truly love getting to Mikhail's house and putting waypoint to the prison, then calling Dwayne for guys and Roman for cab. Usually cabbies get scared of wanted level, but romans guy doesn't care and won't stop, making for some interesting drive by police chase. When you're near the end, cancel the waypoint and put it back to Mikhail and ask for him to change direction. It's really fun
23 years wit GTA. GTA 4 is by far the best . I believe 6 will be the one to top it because of what rockstar did with red dead 2 n because of videos like this
GTA IV generally was ahead of its time. It has details that even modern games fail to include. GTA V did a lot of things right but I'm always sad when I think about all the cool little things from GTA IV they missed. All the cool interiors you can visit, hotdog vendors, destructible environment, car damage, gradually deflating tires, ability to pick up objects and throw them, really cool ragdoll physics and more. I hope GTA VI combines the best elements from IV, V and RDR2 to create an ultimate GTA experience. We've been waiting so many years they need to come up with a banger now. Something that's gonna make our jaws drop.
Agreed man, and those 3 games all did amazing things in their own respect. They could take all the elements we love from those games into ONE for a timeless experience.

@@sajins7444 because GTA V reminded them of SA just because it has so many features. For me, attention to detail and physics is everything so I was a bit disappointed with GTA V. I keep missing Liberty City lol
Yeah but as we can say "people prefer V for some reason", we can also say "people prefer San Andreas for some reason", as this comment mentions. Maybe nostalgia is a big factor in this.

I love how the people of Liberty City grab their bleeding faces when you throw objects at them. Really funny and great detail. Also, can we just give time to appreciate the engineer that designed the nanosecond pop-up headlights on the Hakumai? That technology was way ahead of it's time! Hahaha! Great video as always, GoodColours!
I can still almost remember the first few days when I played this game for the first time when it came out. Whenever that introduction mission was over, I remember walking out of the safehouse and being shocked at how great the game looked, and walking into pedestrians and watching them fall to the ground (I was about 12 at the time and thought it was the greatest and funniest thing ever) It was also funny af when you could push pedestrians down a long flight of stairs and watch them roll all the way down in it in the cannonball position lmao. It's always fun to mess with the ragdoll physics in the game!
Same, me and one of my best friends at that time were around 13 - 14 and went to nearly every shop in the inner city (germany) to look for the game. It was sold out everywhere. At last we went to this huge old traditional family owned toy store and saw from a couple meters away the one copy left. We both started to run to get the game and right when we got into a fight about who gets it, a employee comes along with a hand full of copies. Then we had to get someone to buy it for us. The first girl we asked was around 25 who laughed and immediately said yes when she saw the joy in our eyes. We waited outside, got the 2 copies from her went home and were blown away calling each other talking about how insane the game is.
@@trippinmoonjuice6734That’s an awesome story man lol. I’m glad you replied to a post from 2 years ago lol. I was sitting here in my room and got a notification from this video wondering what it could be because I don’t remember commenting on anything here recently because I rarely comment on videos lol. Reading your reply put me in a good mood this afternoon lol, and reading it gave me so much nostalgia because being kids with that much excitement over a amazing game is something we can no longer feel anymore which almost makes me feel sentimental about our childhoods, man the nostalgia is painful! 😂 Thanks for posting
Can we just take a step back and appreciate how helicopters would react in different ways went hit in different areas from an rpg? So much better than just exploding in Gta 5.
There are more details about the radio and satnav system in cars. Newer cars have voice guidance and you can change that in the settings. About the radio. If you leave the door open, or shatter the windows, music becomes louder and clearer. With doors and windows shut, the music is muffled. Should work similarly with convertibles.
The funniest thing is that basically any throwable object have the same weight so it doesn't matter if you throw a brick or a cup of coffee at a ped, it's gonna hit them hard regardless
Yeah haha, I noticed that too. The brick is like the standard I guess. Ooh it would be great if a mod fixed that, I wonder if you can change the values of each type of object.
@@kngrc7272 tbh, and this might sound a little weird, but I wished Niko had a smoking addiction lol. I just enjoy smoking in video games, it's badass. There's a smoking mod I used for a while, it was great.
I only got to play the game a year ago but hey, it's never too late to enjoy something, and needless to say, GTA IV will always have a special place in my heart.
This game was so ahead of it's time... To this day the ragdoll physics used in GTA4 are still more complex and detailed when compared to games nowadays
Grand Theft Auto IV is by far the best addition in the series. Not only due to it's fascinating story-line but because of stuff like this! It has always been my absolute favorite and me to this day still watching videos about it and also playing it, while not having played V and GTAO for about almost 2 years at this point, is a true testament of the success of IV, which will continue well off into the future.
I hope Rockstar return to these details and physics in the next GTA. Imagine a new Vice City chapter or a San Andreas remade like this with new graphics.
About the helicopter thing. I remember me and my friends using the annihilator ans trying so kill our selfs the funniest way possible ( I was like 7). Well turns out I was able to survive the highest drop possible by landing on a pole. I don‘t know how but my older brother (who was like 11 at the time) was impressed too. I really like remembering those times.
I remember playing with my cousin we where also like 10 years old and I jumped out of a helicopter with a parachute and I fell down straight belly flat to the earth and I had 0,001 life left and we laughed so hard. We still laugh about to this day and it happened 10 years ago or somethjng😂😂😂
@@wanilimbe That why they should have remade San Andreas map instead of big giant map lack of details with everything closed, bad physics and good just for the online.
I really appreciate the fact that you credited Rusty Cage for his music, he'd been having issues with people using his music its nice having someone who gives him credit.
There is an absolutely amazing detail that I want to tell. You can put your own music to the game and listen it through the channels on GTA IV. I've noticed that every car has a different audio system quality. Since I had the ability to test a song that I knew very well how it sounds, I tried it. *Fun Fact* : Open-top cars have less depth to the music and if you are in a tunnel or somewhere small, your open top car actually blasts music out the car and it Eco's.
@@ggtyrin (for PC)just put the radio to "Independence FM" . You'll get a message that you can play your own music in it along with the folder where you have to put your own songs. In my case, it's in documents.
09:05 this is actually a glitch that some cops survive crash from a helicopter. Their ragdoll is not initiated at all, notice they're falling in laying position like they're on the ground already so they don't take fall damage. The same can happen with the player or any other pedestrian, it's quite rare though
Yeah, I have to say I enjoy GTA4's driving more then GTA5's ... though 4 is allot closer to GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas ... which I loved all three.
A few times I actually got the heli to come down with the blades and tail and everything. I'd recommend lower Easton alleyway if you want a good shootout, and the park for the helicopters because if they fall into shallow waters they survive and can be kept
Another small detail is that when you drive a car from a certain model it has let's say a high rev limiter, but when you get another car same model, the rev limiter will be different (can be lower or higher) Best examples are the Comet, Infernus i think.
I like how when you replay the game just like san andreas you can actually see hints to thee traitors like michelle will ask on your first date if roman has been doing anything criminally suspicious, pretty quickly to just like a narc.
There are quite a lot more details I've run across since I played this game for years. Concerning the rusty beater vehicles: - Tires have noticeably less grip since nobody would put any kind of fresh rubber on a beater car. - Brakes are very weak and the suspension is all beaten up with really bad damping from all the use and abuse and you can feel it in the handling - The catalytic converters and exhausts on them are old and worn and will crackle and pop compared to newer and better maintained cars - Beaters will have a hard time starting up and most likely won't start on first crank But there's also some various nice touches: - Different shoe types make different sounds - Manhole covers make a sound when you drive over them - Tire rolling noise and screech noise is different in the dry and in the wet - Fistfights are incredibly different depending on who you're up against, some regular fat guy on the street will punch slow and won't defend himself, while a strong gangbanger moves fast, hits in flurries of punches and deals more damage It's small things like these that make this the best game in the series and a benchmark for the genre to this day.
"Lemme show you how people react to being smashed in with bricks" *Drills first guy visible in the forehead with brick and watches closely as he goes down* 🤣😅
Been replaying 4, never finished it. Got further than I've ever gotten, love the atmosphere of the game. Just feels alive or something. Did you ever see it with the snow mod? It looks f**king amazing. Granted the rain is also great in 4, I find myself trying to find shelter from the rain If I'm walking about ha.
I haven't played this game in years. But i remember that if you drive any Emergency service vehicle like a cop car or ambulance pay tolls are free. I dunno if it can be considered a detail :P
@@30THMAN. Replay value doesn't mean money, it's just how "replayable" something is in general. But this comment is old now, I'd say GTA V is objectively more replayable than GTA IV because it's packed with more features. It's only my own subjective experience that IV is more replayable, I love it.
@@30THMAN. Yeah by logic. But we don't play videogames just on logic, they are experiences that engage us emotionally too. A piece of music may be objectively better than another in its composition, but you won't like it better if it doesn't touch your heart.
Rob, did you know about this one? If you get into a car and briefly pause (say 1-2 seconds) before accelerating, there's no chance that you'll go through the windscreen in a very high speed collision. However, if you immediately accelerate once getting in the car, you will always go through the windscreen in a very high speed collision. It's almost as if there's a hidden seat belt animation with the brief pause. I wish you were able to leave your engine running in GTA V! One of the small details I miss about IV.
there is a glitch to do it in gta 5. get into your car while aiming your gun, and when you get out the engine should still be on. less consistent than gta 4 though
Agreed man, I enjoyed GTA 4 (alot), but the missions were very VERY repetitive. It baffled me how Niko was still behaving like he was poor, doing insane missions for his next sugar daddy just to get paid 10k when he has like 50 times the amount near the end. At the end, I personally enjoyed GTA 5 alot, more than GTA 5 and I think it’s time to lay GTA 5 to rest, it’s lived it’s time.
I actually never had gotten a chance to play GTA IV properly. Never owned it, tried the cracked version of it twice but wasn't worth it cause it was not a good thing to do, plus my system couldn't run it at settings I wanted it to run at. So, I have been playing GTA V, and GTA V Online, for quite a long time on my Xbox One S and now knpwing that it will be re-re-released for the next generation of consoles, I have just have gotten really bored playing GTA V. Rockstar doesn't care about its games anymore, they just want money. Feeling bored, I have now decided to give a shot to GTA IV on Xbox One and I'll soon be getting it. This fantastic video increases my frequency of interest to play GTA IV even more!
My PC with Intel graphics 4400,4gb ram,1.7ghz(1.8ghz for gta 4) and no gtx/rtx/amd graphics card was able to play the game and finished it. Had infinite loading screen issue but fixed it
Karthik P Nair Same, I was running on patch 1070, the worst in performance on a shitty laptop with 2GB RAM, Intel Core i3, and Intel HD Graphics and finished the game years ago, both Deal and Revenge ending, now when playing on the same laptop at average 5 FPS with gun sound stutter and pauses, its unplayable and I got to Late Checkout before upgrading. I surprisingly never touched the DLC’S.
John clark the xb1 has it remastered! many many games at that. id consider it! with the new consoles coming soon the current gen is going down in price!
I played this game when I was 13..... ahhhh, so much nostalgia, this game was amazing back then when it came out, I got a copy for my Laptop i got on my 9th birthday (and it runs pretty well with medium graphics) and GTA 4 was my favorite game for a time, still my second favorite GTA game after GTA San Andreas. I love this game.
GTA IV is still my favourite game of all times,I really hate to see how Rockstar have killed the multiplayer feature and that was the main reason I had to switch to GTA Online.
we play GTA IV multiplayer on PC all the time, I've got videos on it. You can play through GFWL but even better than that is a mod we use called GTA Connected.
the little feature of being able to shutdown your car after leaving it gave me so much immersion when i played it as a kid trying to immitate and roleplay reallife when i got bored, its the most memorable feature i remember from GTA IV
nah I don't think so, the speed looked normal to me but, my main point, he took that many bullets because he has more health than a normal pedestrian. Thanks for watching :)
I've seen a lot of these 'attention to detail' style videos from a few other great GTA TH-camrs too, but despite that I think the stuff you covered here are things I haven't previously seen elsewhere😮 some very great work indeed and some fantastic details we can all appreciate too!👏👍
This was the first game I played that could do the most realistic burnouts. I used to play it for hours just doing burnouts till I blew the tires. Those were the days. This was a dope game for sure. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😎👍
The heli part reminded me of when I was playing mulitplayer and a police helicopter crash landed for no reason. It's on my 1st GTA IV video on my channel at 1:05
I always loved how variable the helicopter crashes are. Hit the rotor with an RPG and you may not blow the chopper up immediately, but you could knock it off course and cause a crash. I don't know, it's just being able to impact it like that makes it feel more visceral and cool when you take them down. As a kid I remember always trying to snipe the pilots, that training served me well in GTA5 lmao
Little fun fact, the NOOSE peds surviving the falls is actually a bug, hence why it doens't happen in TBOGT, the game where the majority of GTA 4 and TLAD bugs were fixed.
Good to know, thanks. I was suspicious of it. I think it's, like some bugs, something I'd rather have in the game as it adds a new element to the combat.
@@InternetRob I agree, i think it's a pretty fun bug to mess with, even thought, in real life, that fall would probably give them head traumas or break a neak if they fall onto it like in this video, but yeah, GTA 4 is not 100% realistic, which is what make it fun to play.
@@InternetRob i have some more details for the next video: 1) you can find police snipers when you have five stars in algonquin. 2) cops can run out of ammo wile using the shotgun 3) cops can report a MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident), you just need to crash your vehicle with another vehicle while a cop is present. 4) cops can repor civilian casualties, you just need to kill a civilian when you have a wanted level. I know more details but i can't remember right now. I been playing this game for 2 years and i have seen a lot.
Cops can survive a helicopter crash… The odds are against them…. Proceeds to watch some poor schmuck survive an RPG to the helo, jump off the side, drop 100 feet, SURVIVE, get up like the hero he is, only to mow the lawn with an uzi… I dunno how you play, but if that were my game I’d have shot him in the knee and left him. No point killing that guy, either he was gonna die if his injuries or the universe has a ‘final destination’ for him. At that point, it’s nothing but disrespectful to not walk away. I mean the guy cheated death THRICE! Don’t you think he deserves a break?
the nice thing about gta 4 is the details, physics and graphics for a 2008 game, the only thing is, it was made and released from the Brown/Green Game Tint Era thats why it may have brown tint on scenes, green tint(Fallout 3 had green tint,and other games like resident evil and metal gear solid)
U can play at 4K in GTA IV eliminating alising effect just turn DSR in Nvidia Panel and pick resolution in game. Looks much better. FPS should stay the same.
Very professional looking video! Just one thing I would like to be added, is that when you go to the next detail you could add like a number (Detail № 1, Detail № 2, etc.) or something that indicates that this part is now finished. I was a little confused at some parts as I thought one clip was still part of the last detail. Anyway, very enjoyable video though!
Fire hydrants aren't triggered by fire they have to be manually turned on so I don't know if it's a detail that you were trying to point out or if you were trying to say that the water works to put out the flames
Another crazy detail: Unlike GTA V, on GTA IV when you shoot someone they lie on the ground dying until a paramedic comes. But if you finish them off, the paramedic can't save them. Headshots are exceptional in this case for obvious reasons. On GTA V, unless you shoot someone in the head or burn them, they never truly die, they stay on the ground in pain until a paramedic comes.
when you shoot people who are really far away with a sniper rifle, the ragdolls don't load in some times, and you see the old animation from GTA: San Andreas; Much like you see with the fall animation here: 9:30 It looks almost identical when compared to the one in SA
Exhaust smoke starts out white and slowly becomes darker as the engine takes damage. Similarly, a rattling noise from its valvetrain becomes louder and more apparent with damage. When the engine billows white smoke at low but still decent health, it sounds like its radiator is leaking and overheating; at very low health, the engine makes rattling and knocking noises. Also, sports cars that backfire when off the gas have said backfire develop brown smoke with lower engine health.

I can still almost remember the first few days when I played this game for the first time when it came out. Whenever that introduction mission was over, I remember walking out of the safehouse and being shocked at how great the game looked, and walking into pedestrians and watching them fall to the ground (I was about 12 at the time and thought it was the greatest and funniest thing ever) It was also funny af when you could push pedestrians down a long flight of stairs and watch them roll all the way down in it in the cannonball position lmao. It's always fun to mess with the ragdoll physics in the game!
Same, me and one of my best friends at that time were around 13 - 14 and went to nearly every shop in the inner city (germany) to look for the game. It was sold out everywhere. At last we went to this huge old traditional family owned toy store and saw from a couple meters away the one copy left. We both started to run to get the game and right when we got into a fight about who gets it, a employee comes along with a hand full of copies. Then we had to get someone to buy it for us. The first girl we asked was around 25 who laughed and immediately said yes when she saw the joy in our eyes. We waited outside, got the 2 copies from her went home and were blown away calling each other talking about how insane the game is.
@@trippinmoonjuice6734That’s an awesome story man lol. I’m glad you replied to a post from 2 years ago lol. I was sitting here in my room and got a notification from this video wondering what it could be because I don’t remember commenting on anything here recently because I rarely comment on videos lol. Reading your reply put me in a good mood this afternoon lol, and reading it gave me so much nostalgia because being kids with that much excitement over a amazing game is something we can no longer feel anymore which almost makes me feel sentimental about our childhoods, man the nostalgia is painful! 😂 Thanks for posting
Can we just take a step back and appreciate how helicopters would react in different ways went hit in different areas from an rpg? So much better than just exploding in Gta 5.
agreed, one of my personal biggest disappointments with V.
@@InternetRob what if idgf about these "downgrades"?
There are more details about the radio and satnav system in cars. Newer cars have voice guidance and you can change that in the settings.
About the radio. If you leave the door open, or shatter the windows, music becomes louder and clearer. With doors and windows shut, the music is muffled. Should work similarly with convertibles.
The funniest thing is that basically any throwable object have the same weight so it doesn't matter if you throw a brick or a cup of coffee at a ped, it's gonna hit them hard regardless
Yeah haha, I noticed that too. The brick is like the standard I guess. Ooh it would be great if a mod fixed that, I wonder if you can change the values of each type of object.
@@InternetRob
You should make that mod
You can throw sigarettes too. Lol
@@kngrc7272 tbh, and this might sound a little weird, but I wished Niko had a smoking addiction lol. I just enjoy smoking in video games, it's badass. There's a smoking mod I used for a while, it was great.
@@InternetRob little jacob is a hell of a smoker instead! Lol
I only got to play the game a year ago but hey, it's never too late to enjoy something, and needless to say, GTA IV will always have a special place in my heart.
9:13 that quick snipe with the rocket
8:59
Official version : Lucky one
Unofficial version : finished with 3 rockets
Nice detailled video for one of the best game ever made.
This game was so ahead of it's time... To this day the ragdoll physics used in GTA4 are still more complex and detailed when compared to games nowadays
Rare detail: if you hit another car at high speed with a driver on it there's a chance that the driver will die while holding gas pedal or honk
Not rare at all if you don't drive safely
Not rare it’s in every gta
@@fancyfox9980 it's not there in any 3d gta, gta 4 was the first to do it tho
Depending on where you hit the car it may be set on fire (with the driver) or it may lose a wheel
@@fancyfox9980 gta v player
"Fire truck actually put out fire"
Ahh yes, fire truck is on fire because its called fire truck
Grand Theft Auto IV is by far the best addition in the series. Not only due to it's fascinating story-line but because of stuff like this! It has always been my absolute favorite and me to this day still watching videos about it and also playing it, while not having played V and GTAO for about almost 2 years at this point, is a true testament of the success of IV, which will continue well off into the future.
agreed - also yeah, GTA IV is much more replayable I've noticed too.
@@InternetRob oh absolutely! Keep up the great content mate! Cheers
I hope Rockstar return to these details and physics in the next GTA. Imagine a new Vice City chapter or a San Andreas remade like this with new graphics.
Brilliant video my guy, I remember playing this game back in the day and never really notice some of these, epic.
Thank you :)
About the helicopter thing. I remember me and my friends using the annihilator ans trying so kill our selfs the funniest way possible ( I was like 7). Well turns out I was able to survive the highest drop possible by landing on a pole. I don‘t know how but my older brother (who was like 11 at the time) was impressed too. I really like remembering those times.
That's a cool memory. The fun we have with these games as children is insane!
I remember playing with my cousin we where also like 10 years old and I jumped out of a helicopter with a parachute and I fell down straight belly flat to the earth and I had 0,001 life left and we laughed so hard. We still laugh about to this day and it happened 10 years ago or somethjng😂😂😂
I swear the detailing on this game was WAY ahead of its time. In fact, so ahead of its time they didn't put 90% of it in Gta 5!
* throws rock at a person *
*Hmmm satisfying...*
There's ones thing you forgot to mention in this video. When you run over someone with a grocery bag,their groceries fall on the ground, separately
Can't believe why rockstar games didn't make this on gta v
You can’t fit this stuff all on a 60 gb game on the 360’s and a 80GB game on the PS4 and also, it’s an old game unlike Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
@@wanilimbe That why they should have remade San Andreas map instead of big giant map lack of details with everything closed, bad physics and good just for the online.
Different team of developers
Believe or not, they did if you tinker enough.
@@hatsoff4524 so can we talk about fast food restaurants in GTA 5?
Oh wait
this just went on steam sale, been replaying it. my personal favorite gta
Same here man, my fav.
I really appreciate the fact that you credited Rusty Cage for his music, he'd been having issues with people using his music its nice having someone who gives him credit.
There is an absolutely amazing detail that I want to tell. You can put your own music to the game and listen it through the channels on GTA IV. I've noticed that every car has a different audio system quality. Since I had the ability to test a song that I knew very well how it sounds, I tried it. *Fun Fact* : Open-top cars have less depth to the music and if you are in a tunnel or somewhere small, your open top car actually blasts music out the car and it Eco's.
How can you play your own music?
@@ggtyrin (for PC)just put the radio to "Independence FM" . You'll get a message that you can play your own music in it along with the folder where you have to put your own songs. In my case, it's in documents.
That detail was in SA also. Bikes have no bass, but cars have great bass.
09:05 this is actually a glitch that some cops survive crash from a helicopter. Their ragdoll is not initiated at all, notice they're falling in laying position like they're on the ground already so they don't take fall damage. The same can happen with the player or any other pedestrian, it's quite rare though
Yeah, I have to say I enjoy GTA4's driving more then GTA5's ... though 4 is allot closer to GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas ... which I loved all three.
A few times I actually got the heli to come down with the blades and tail and everything. I'd recommend lower Easton alleyway if you want a good shootout, and the park for the helicopters because if they fall into shallow waters they survive and can be kept
Another small detail is that when you drive a car from a certain model it has let's say a high rev limiter, but when you get another car same model, the rev limiter will be different (can be lower or higher)
Best examples are the Comet, Infernus i think.
Interesting! How can you tell if it's lower or higher, will the rev sound be different enough to notice?
I like how when you replay the game just like san andreas you can actually see hints to thee traitors like michelle will ask on your first date if roman has been doing anything criminally suspicious, pretty quickly to just like a narc.
There are quite a lot more details I've run across since I played this game for years. Concerning the rusty beater vehicles:
- Tires have noticeably less grip since nobody would put any kind of fresh rubber on a beater car.
- Brakes are very weak and the suspension is all beaten up with really bad damping from all the use and abuse and you can feel it in the handling
- The catalytic converters and exhausts on them are old and worn and will crackle and pop compared to newer and better maintained cars
- Beaters will have a hard time starting up and most likely won't start on first crank
But there's also some various nice touches:
- Different shoe types make different sounds
- Manhole covers make a sound when you drive over them
- Tire rolling noise and screech noise is different in the dry and in the wet
- Fistfights are incredibly different depending on who you're up against, some regular fat guy on the street will punch slow and won't defend himself, while a strong gangbanger moves fast, hits in flurries of punches and deals more damage
It's small things like these that make this the best game in the series and a benchmark for the genre to this day.
amazing details there, maybe you should make a video like this yourself haha
"Lemme show you how people react to being smashed in with bricks"
*Drills first guy visible in the forehead with brick and watches closely as he goes down* 🤣😅
hahah
This video is so underrated. Thank you TH-cam for recommending me this video
That's sweet, thanks for watching it :)
Thx for providing high quality gta 4 content. :D
You're the best man, thanks for watching it!
Been replaying 4, never finished it. Got further than I've ever gotten, love the atmosphere of the game. Just feels alive or something.
Did you ever see it with the snow mod? It looks f**king amazing. Granted the rain is also great in 4, I find myself trying to find shelter from the rain If I'm walking about ha.
1:58 I could count as a life hack for when your car catches fire
It's a bit of a shitty life hack tbf haha, I don't think it even puts out engine fires, only Molotov fires that have spread onto your car.
When you shoot a rocket underneath a water, the boat directly below the point where the explosion will occur will flip
I haven't played this game in years. But i remember that if you drive any Emergency service vehicle like a cop car or ambulance pay tolls are free. I dunno if it can be considered a detail :P
Yeah that's an amazing detail! I forgot about that one, it could possibly make it into a part 3. Thanks a lot.
first time it happend to me i was scared when the toll went up with no - balance😂 great attention to detail on the creators
It feels like ages that GTA V came out, yet I never play it, while IV I come back to regularly.
me too man, V has little replay value and I don't understand why.
@@InternetRob the money in IV is useless, what replay value are you talking about
@@30THMAN. Replay value doesn't mean money, it's just how "replayable" something is in general. But this comment is old now, I'd say GTA V is objectively more replayable than GTA IV because it's packed with more features. It's only my own subjective experience that IV is more replayable, I love it.
@@InternetRob So by logic, GTA 5 is more replayable than GTA 4, but you think the oppossite anyway ?
@@30THMAN. Yeah by logic. But we don't play videogames just on logic, they are experiences that engage us emotionally too. A piece of music may be objectively better than another in its composition, but you won't like it better if it doesn't touch your heart.
Personally I think Alderney is the best part of the map, the designers of that area really did their best to make it look like New Jersey
looks like i’m reinstalling gta 4
Rob, did you know about this one?
If you get into a car and briefly pause (say 1-2 seconds) before accelerating, there's no chance that you'll go through the windscreen in a very high speed collision.
However, if you immediately accelerate once getting in the car, you will always go through the windscreen in a very high speed collision.
It's almost as if there's a hidden seat belt animation with the brief pause.
I wish you were able to leave your engine running in GTA V! One of the small details I miss about IV.
never knew that!
there is a glitch to do it in gta 5. get into your car while aiming your gun, and when you get out the engine should still be on. less consistent than gta 4 though
I've never played GTA IV ,but I have a PS3. I will be buying it soon I miss clucking bell and food places
nice
and the legend says that he sat there for the rest of his life watching the detailed scene of the helicopter burning
This is the Best grand theft auto and you cant say No
@Ratt Pakknahh
that's fair, I like the gloominess myself, the game has this real emotional weight to it.
Agreed man, I enjoyed GTA 4 (alot), but the missions were very VERY repetitive. It baffled me how Niko was still behaving like he was poor, doing insane missions for his next sugar daddy just to get paid 10k when he has like 50 times the amount near the end. At the end, I personally enjoyed GTA 5 alot, more than GTA 5 and I think it’s time to lay GTA 5 to rest, it’s lived it’s time.
It is unless we're talking the story, gameplay is a different story, San Andreas kills this game.
thanks for using some of my suggestions man. i will keep a look out for more detail and put them on the comment on your other video.
You're the man. I keep checking back every few days, seeing the updates, thanks again for all the effort!
you're welcome.
@@InternetRob what happened to the heli explosion at the end lmao
@@go2hell746 hahah, I'm sorry man my outro commentary was too cringe - I cut it!
@@InternetRoblol
Helicopter: **explodes**
Me: art...
lol it is pretty
@@InternetRob yea but non gamers wouldn't get it
I actually never had gotten a chance to play GTA IV properly. Never owned it, tried the cracked version of it twice but wasn't worth it cause it was not a good thing to do, plus my system couldn't run it at settings I wanted it to run at. So, I have been playing GTA V, and GTA V Online, for quite a long time on my Xbox One S and now knpwing that it will be re-re-released for the next generation of consoles, I have just have gotten really bored playing GTA V. Rockstar doesn't care about its games anymore, they just want money. Feeling bored, I have now decided to give a shot to GTA IV on Xbox One and I'll soon be getting it. This fantastic video increases my frequency of interest to play GTA IV even more!
mate you're gonna have a great time I think! You've got such an experience waiting for you.
Jeez I need to get this game again
The background music is great!❤️
I love this game for the details but sadly the optimization is not so good 🙁
true dat
GTA 4: *2008 release*
Red Dead Redemption 2: *2018 release*
Both incredible _Rockstar games_ with worst pc optimization
My PC with Intel graphics 4400,4gb ram,1.7ghz(1.8ghz for gta 4) and no gtx/rtx/amd graphics card was able to play the game and finished it.
Had infinite loading screen issue but fixed it
Karthik P Nair Same, I was running on patch 1070, the worst in performance on a shitty laptop with 2GB RAM, Intel Core i3, and Intel HD Graphics and finished the game years ago, both Deal and Revenge ending, now when playing on the same laptop at average 5 FPS with gun sound stutter and pauses, its unplayable and I got to Late Checkout before upgrading. I surprisingly never touched the DLC’S.
It had an update on pc quite recently so it's alot better now 😁
9:52 "A Helicopter surviving a crash landing like this is uncommon"
The 3 policemen that survived to the crash: "Are we a joke to you?"
#keepgta4alive
that's right my man, respect. #keepgta4alive
I respect you for still making videos from this hated / unterrated game my dude! Just dont stop it, it's perfect.
@@tlusto_3451 Thanks for saying so, I'll continue to make these videos as long as I love to. Nice one
This is the least details we should be asking for GTA 6
This is my favorite game of all time. I've played thru it at least once every year from 2008-2019. Unfortunately my 360 broke this year /;
legend! That's a lot of playthroughs, wow.
@@InternetRob Haha Ik! I'm considering buying a new 360
John clark the xb1 has it remastered! many many games at that. id consider it! with the new consoles coming soon the current gen is going down in price!
I played this game when I was 13..... ahhhh, so much nostalgia, this game was amazing back then when it came out, I got a copy for my Laptop i got on my 9th birthday (and it runs pretty well with medium graphics) and GTA 4 was my favorite game for a time, still my second favorite GTA game after GTA San Andreas. I love this game.
I used to spend hours just walking around shooting lightbulbs out with a suppressed pistol. Both in gta 4 and 5 😂
9:58 scenes like this are good for some machinimas
Ahh, back in the day when water actually extinguished fire
haha those were the days
GTA IV is still my favourite game of all times,I really hate to see how Rockstar have killed the multiplayer feature and that was the main reason I had to switch to GTA Online.
we play GTA IV multiplayer on PC all the time, I've got videos on it. You can play through GFWL but even better than that is a mod we use called GTA Connected.
@@InternetRob Alright, I'll take a look at it, thanks for the info.
the little feature of being able to shutdown your car after leaving it gave me so much immersion when i played it as a kid trying to immitate and roleplay reallife when i got bored, its the most memorable feature i remember from GTA IV
Ah yes, another underrated gta channel
Hell, I played this game for 1,600 hours and didn't even notice most of these things) Thanks for the video, man!
omg rusty cages background music
How could someone play the game and miss the majority of these? Some of these are even part of a tutorial.
Love all those cozy details.... Hope you're still diggin the game, Rob.
6:20 that window slowed down the bullets, it hit him but took more bullets
nah I don't think so, the speed looked normal to me but, my main point, he took that many bullets because he has more health than a normal pedestrian. Thanks for watching :)
Dude at the final moment of the video, the sparklers of the helicopter bounce off the floor, they follow a trajectory
I've been playing since day 1. I didn't think I'd learn anything new. Great vid
That aiming ahead of the helicopter, though. Very satisfying.
ROB:MISSING LISENCE PLATE
POLICE:WAIT THAT'S ILLEGAL
I've seen a lot of these 'attention to detail' style videos from a few other great GTA TH-camrs too, but despite that I think the stuff you covered here are things I haven't previously seen elsewhere😮 some very great work indeed and some fantastic details we can all appreciate too!👏👍
This was the first game I played that could do the most realistic burnouts. I used to play it for hours just doing burnouts till I blew the tires. Those were the days. This was a dope game for sure. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😎👍
The heli part reminded me of when I was playing mulitplayer and a police helicopter crash landed for no reason. It's on my 1st GTA IV video on my channel at 1:05
GTA IV was my San Andreas growing up. Loved this game so much.
I always loved how variable the helicopter crashes are. Hit the rotor with an RPG and you may not blow the chopper up immediately, but you could knock it off course and cause a crash. I don't know, it's just being able to impact it like that makes it feel more visceral and cool when you take them down.
As a kid I remember always trying to snipe the pilots, that training served me well in GTA5 lmao
Little fun fact, the NOOSE peds surviving the falls is actually a bug, hence why it doens't happen in TBOGT, the game where the majority of GTA 4 and TLAD bugs were fixed.
Good to know, thanks. I was suspicious of it. I think it's, like some bugs, something I'd rather have in the game as it adds a new element to the combat.
@@InternetRob I agree, i think it's a pretty fun bug to mess with, even thought, in real life, that fall would probably give them head traumas or break a neak if they fall onto it like in this video, but yeah, GTA 4 is not 100% realistic, which is what make it fun to play.
Very nice video man. It's good to see that i'm not the only one that loves the attention to detail in this game.
You're definitely not, no, I love this stuff. If you find any interresting details, please let me know.
You're definitely not, no, I love this stuff. If you find any interresting details, please let me know.
@@InternetRob i have some more details for the next video:
1) you can find police snipers when you have five stars in algonquin.
2) cops can run out of ammo wile using the shotgun
3) cops can report a MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident), you just need to crash your vehicle with another vehicle while a cop is present.
4) cops can repor civilian casualties, you just need to kill a civilian when you have a wanted level.
I know more details but i can't remember right now. I been playing this game for 2 years and i have seen a lot.
Cops can survive a helicopter crash…
The odds are against them….
Proceeds to watch some poor schmuck survive an RPG to the helo, jump off the side, drop 100 feet, SURVIVE, get up like the hero he is, only to mow the lawn with an uzi…
I dunno how you play, but if that were my game I’d have shot him in the knee and left him. No point killing that guy, either he was gonna die if his injuries or the universe has a ‘final destination’ for him. At that point, it’s nothing but disrespectful to not walk away. I mean the guy cheated death THRICE! Don’t you think he deserves a break?
GTA 4 was the most detailed gta. I luv gta 4. And you need 1M + views! :)
So do I, GTA IV is full of this stuff. Thanks a lot for watching :)
the nice thing about gta 4 is the details, physics and graphics for a 2008 game, the only thing is, it was made and released from the Brown/Green Game Tint Era
thats why it may have brown tint on scenes, green tint(Fallout 3 had green tint,and other games like resident evil and metal gear solid)
Great vid, gta4 is my favourite gta!
same here buddy :)
U can play at 4K in GTA IV eliminating alising effect just turn DSR in Nvidia Panel and pick resolution in game. Looks much better. FPS should stay the same.
This channel is so underrated u deserve millions of subs
that's a huge compliment, appreciate it!
Bro your editing is awesome, so im gonna sub.
Thanks so much man, hope to see you around :D
Very professional looking video! Just one thing I would like to be added, is that when you go to the next detail you could add like a number (Detail № 1, Detail № 2, etc.) or something that indicates that this part is now finished. I was a little confused at some parts as I thought one clip was still part of the last detail. Anyway, very enjoyable video though!
Good idea, if I make a part 3 I will likely do that. Thanks for giving me your feedback :)
Love your content and delivery
Fire hydrants aren't triggered by fire they have to be manually turned on so I don't know if it's a detail that you were trying to point out or if you were trying to say that the water works to put out the flames
Another crazy detail:
Unlike GTA V, on GTA IV when you shoot someone they lie on the ground dying until a paramedic comes.
But if you finish them off, the paramedic can't save them. Headshots are exceptional in this case for obvious reasons.
On GTA V, unless you shoot someone in the head or burn them, they never truly die, they stay on the ground in pain until a paramedic comes.
when you shoot people who are really far away with a sniper rifle, the ragdolls don't load in some times, and you see the old animation from GTA: San Andreas; Much like you see with the fall animation here: 9:30 It looks almost identical when compared to the one in SA
Exhaust smoke starts out white and slowly becomes darker as the engine takes damage. Similarly, a rattling noise from its valvetrain becomes louder and more apparent with damage. When the engine billows white smoke at low but still decent health, it sounds like its radiator is leaking and overheating; at very low health, the engine makes rattling and knocking noises. Also, sports cars that backfire when off the gas have said backfire develop brown smoke with lower engine health.
The thumbnail is too perfect. It looks like Niko is taking a piss on the fire hydrant
wot haha
