Some things that need clarification: 1. No, the 1500 pistol ammo at the start of the run is not a mod. It is the result of a glitch done by spamming E (pick up object) after killing a pedestrian that drops a pistol. You can try this for yourself. 2. A lot of things in this game are tied to FPS, such as physics, timers, etc. So, to make it more fair, we runners are allowed to use external frame limiters during the run.
As a huge fan of the IV. That is outstanding. The level of knowledge you have on this game. It’s incredible that I’ve learned so many minor tricks I did not see before. Well played
Man, that's impressive) It's very funny to watch walkthrough of favourite part of gta on that speed (with all this unsaid and skipped phrases) - it's like Niko want to reach american dream so badly that it's no time to explain
Amazing run! Congratulations on the wr!! Also its funny how the cab drivers are getaway drivers for most of this, I dont blame them as they got paid a lot in this run
I love how you can tell the taxi driver to wait for you while youre killing people right in front of him and then just use the same taxi to go somewhere else. Thats true professionalislm.
@@thecupheadfan1837 You're right, but the variations are not too significant. We runners know how long it roughly takes for each individual phone call to come. You can basically split them into 38-second phone calls and 50-second phone calls, and each call in the game (with exceptions) will fit into one of those two.
You know what's the craziest thing about all of this, that this guy won the "Liberty City Minute" achievement without any difficulty Edit: I also just got this achievement and I thought you had to complete the game in less than 30 hours of real life and not in less than 30 hours played
my favorite game ever getting another WR congrats! I've tried to speedrun this game to and was able to get past 1st chapter in little over 1 hour and 15mins but couldn't figure out how to do the taxi warp glitch (idk the inputs) to get the RPG following some other runs.
I found this run via the algorithm and I'm impressed, congrats! One question though: for what reason do you constantly change the fps and why do you have that many different fps options?
@@Thedude1357 I was playing some other game, where it was just possible to pick up items with "E". As I was pressing "E" near the weapon on the ground, I was doing the same technique in GTA 4, by mistake and got that max ammo glitch. It's the same animation, when Niko bends down to pick up a coffee cup or a brick to break in the window in some mission. I think when you press "E" near the weapon, it just detects it as an item and not as a weaponary, because in GTA 4 you just need to walk over the weapon to pick it up.
Hi, I also love to quickly pass GTA 4, and when I saw the glitch on Catch the wave, I was just shocked. Thank you for your race, you helped me find something new, I hope you beat your record :) PS: I just didn't understand why you made a date with Carmen, and why did you call Kate after the robbery?
The date stuff is complicated, but basically dating Carmen allows runners to control the time of day throughout the run (once the date is scheduled) with taxi warps. Calling Kate removes a useless text message from Packie.
Question - how is the best possible time on the left calculated? Also great vid, love the game and its super interesting watch someone play it this efficiently lol
The best possible time is a sum of the best segments, but it takes into account the current pace of the run. So for every time I beat a gold, it decreases, and whenever I lose time, it increases. However, don't always trust what it says because golds in this games are pretty unreliable.
2:47:25 I'm not sure if its faster but if you stay on the right lane, you can jump with the middle concrete right on the spot without braking but the corner is longer
any chance someone could explain what the different frame rates are for? this is the first real gta iv speedrun ive ever watched lol, would like to know why theres seven different frame limits here
If you are on about the frame limit on the top left of the screen then it is because GTA 4 is not optimised on PC, it has a habit of jumping the frames. Some versions of GTA 4 are fine with the frames whilst the others such as the complete edition still have the issue of it jittering.
This is brilliant: turn up traffic density to catch a cab as quickly as possible. Turn down traffic density and up viewing distance for easier shooting and chasing, as well as mission driving, etc. I couldn't figure out why he turned those down for cab warps, anyone know? A few times he was able to get the cab to drop him on top and inside various locations which seemed like an activated glitch. All so impressive. My favorite were his shortcuts when forced to drive instead of cab. These are things that you can only do during missions in GTA IV and not GTA V if I'm not mistaken, which is one of the many reason why it is a far superior game, not to mention the driving physics, etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong, or enlighten me about the cab warping and switching settings, etc. I watched this video all the way through and was laughing and WTF'ing the whole time.

Understood
Cool video
I love how in this video, Niko technically kills Vlad 15 hours after arriving to Liberty City.
😂😂😂
3:09:09
The taxi here was gonna to distort the greatest speedrun ever
3:10:18
few seconds later... the revenge has been taken.
26:17 WTF!!??🤯🤣
Naked gun tier arrival right there. walks out nice n peachy
39:46 Niko screaming🤯
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
47:29 wow I’ve completed his game about 8 times and had no idea you could just shoot the door out instead of going in from the roof 🤯
The game tells you to do it
I usually shot the window next to the door and climb through it
bruh what
As a huge fan of the IV. That is outstanding. The level of knowledge you have on this game. It’s incredible that I’ve learned so many minor tricks I did not see before. Well played
The amount of cab rides this requires is insane
Cab warps*
@@SoarseX I'm not familiar with the terms speedrunners use tbh but I guess they are warps
@@colo2104 warp is like instant transmission from Goku(Dragon Ball)
aguante bocanada
@@huevitofans6007 y se viene boooca se viene boooca
21:21 how we all feel watching you complete the world record 😂
Lmao
💀
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh
💀
its so hard to take this speedrun serious because no matter how impressive it is i will still laugh when the npcs jump into your predetermined route
16:38 lmaoooo
0:37 that's some insane skill!
The way he could aim at the heads is as perfect as JohnWick
the world fastest first date 8:09
I’m so happy for you man, caught the last WR live and knew you could pull this one off
26:16 LOL how are u gonna park the van like that man 💀
these taxi drivers are complicit in so many crimes
I bet those cab drivers are driving a Banshee by now with all those cab fares
1:21:53 wow, what a perfect driving. Impressive!
39:46 Mike Wazowski scream
5 months later, I'm absolutely in love with this run, you deserved this! GG!
Liberty City is a cleaner place now, thank you for doing God's work! 🙏
Pigeon 1: 39:57
Pigeon 2: 2:18:12
Pigeon 3: 2:58:10
sry didn't see it being pb/wr aswell, gg
Does killing them grant anything? Not all 200 of them, just single ones
@@borostanca no, the only purpose of them is to get achievements/100% (or spawning Annihilator on top of the Star Junction) for killing all of them
SOMEONE DID IT! SOMEONE RETIRED KYLEDOESIT!!!
Now Kyler can come speedrun Call of Duty after he said "if i get beat in gta iv, ill switch to cod"
Man, that's impressive) It's very funny to watch walkthrough of favourite part of gta on that speed (with all this unsaid and skipped phrases) - it's like Niko want to reach american dream so badly that it's no time to explain
Dude, the guy literally honks his horn so as not to hit pedestrians while driving, here is a good driver 👍🏻🙏🏻
55:20 "that's uh... very kind of u.... 😐👊 BEEP" lmfao😂
Lmao 😂
💀
Lmao the beep
the amount you had to learn for you to pull such skillful play is just wow , great speedrun
@@ihexu3317 thank you for recognizing that ☺️
16:00 "this harb don't dotowall for my handayecoardination..." *phases out of existence in a taxi*
26:42 taxi driver crazy maniac 🥸🤯😂
The way you did Uncle Vlad made me lose it. Holy heck, this is so good. He was rubberbanding like crazy too lol
1:14:12 made me laugh so hard. Imagine being one of those guys watching Niko spin-jump down there like that holding an RPG
Amazing run! Congratulations on the wr!!
Also its funny how the cab drivers are getaway drivers for most of this, I dont blame them as they got paid a lot in this run
The strat at 22:08 is nuts
And the crazy part is just after the drop, Niko said "he'll comeback", it's seemed like he masterminded everything
Even roman was impressed lol
After watching this for 3 hours, 29 minutes and 34 seconds I can confirm that he has heard of Gta 4
3:09:20 bro nearly ruined the speedrun😂
I love the fact that this guy can complete the first few missions in about a minute
15:49 Roman says the n-word
🤡
N word for GTA IV is Niko
So?
I love how you can tell the taxi driver to wait for you while youre killing people right in front of him and then just use the same taxi to go somewhere else. Thats true professionalislm.
I just love how 90% of this run is just doing the most total random bullshit that probably took a hundred attempts before
Wow, good job bro! GTA 4 is arguably the least speedrun-friendly GTA game. I'm very impressed.
Thanks! But why do you think it's not speedrun-friendly?
@@sorviknight7117 Half of the missions you have to get a phone call in order to trigger it, and it the time can vary.
@@thecupheadfan1837 You're right, but the variations are not too significant. We runners know how long it roughly takes for each individual phone call to come. You can basically split them into 38-second phone calls and 50-second phone calls, and each call in the game (with exceptions) will fit into one of those two.
just did all achievements on the complete edition and this is a great watch to calm me down after that, ty and gj 😂
26:17 even flatter flat-screens
I could feel the frustration through your mouse movements. Well done!
te conhecendo agora, parabéns atrasado pela run meu Nobre 🎉
The amount of game knowledge you have damn bro keep up the good work
Congrats man! Very glad you were able to complete a 3:19:XX attempt.
1:24:27 EPIC MOMENT 😨
"If you can trust Roman, you can trust me", shooting random people for no reason and speeding down the street
15:49 WHAT DID ROMAN SAY 😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nikos entire experience outdoors in America is sprinting and cabs. Poor soul
Te reconhecendo agora dia 12/11/2023, parabéns meu mano
16:08 Holy shit you just broke the game lmao
Honestly, after the 3:21 from kyle i thought sub 3:20 was possible but holy i didn´t expect it to be so fast! congratulations man!
Imagine being the passenger in the car which niko is driving
Very good run! That was actually impressive btw 👍
YOURE THE BEST. CONGRATS DUDE
amazing game + amazing run = perfect video
Niko flies through that date with Michelle like he knows what happens later
You know what's the craziest thing about all of this, that this guy won the "Liberty City Minute" achievement without any difficulty
Edit: I also just got this achievement and I thought you had to complete the game in less than 30 hours of real life and not in less than 30 hours played
38:41 Get out gentleman I'm speedruner
Mad respect for this, truly

Thanks for using the WoschtUnlimitedAmmo Glitch at 4:00 (discovered by me). And congrats on being the WR holder!
Wait how does it work and how did you find it?

Deep respect for such an incredible speedrun! ❤
Very Long Movie named Collateral Damage
3:26:33 You glad you messed wi... OOH!
Bro did the thing a cop would do 0:40
Hi, I also love to quickly pass GTA 4, and when I saw the glitch on Catch the wave, I was just shocked. Thank you for your race, you helped me find something new, I hope you beat your record :)
PS: I just didn't understand why you made a date with Carmen, and why did you call Kate after the robbery?
The date stuff is complicated, but basically dating Carmen allows runners to control the time of day throughout the run (once the date is scheduled) with taxi warps.
Calling Kate removes a useless text message from Packie.
The video no one asked for but everyone needed 😼
3:07:29 His glasses flew off when you shot him 😂
The Fact That First Time with Michelle u can just go play pool WOW
I didn’t know that you could finish the game without playing Dwayne’s, French Tom’s, and Brucie’s missions. How is that possible? :O
This is incredible no lie , Hopefully we can see speed run of gta 3
23:16 roberry!? 🤣🤣
why do I need to urgently change the number of fps?
No wonder my playthroughs felt short, i always used taxis
Best part of GTA speedruns is the driving👌
Buying glasses:- should be enough to impress Michelle💀
this should be called taxi%
BR representando na speedrun de GTA IV, brabo demais.

Strat at 2:45:24 is wonderful

Need a new one before 6 drops 🔥
This is great man

2:54:18 that was beautiful
Good job! Respect+
This was amazing! Question; why do you call LJ for a job after some missions?
3:58 taking pistol with full ammo ?
The trick is to manage to manually pick pistol up as prop, object; game allows to do that
WR is Braziiiil, baby 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
*whistles*, "CAAAAAB!"
Kill Francis, speedrun aprovedd 😅😂gg bro nice 🫡
I miss playing this game on my xbox 360😭😭😭
