I love attention that you give to GTA IV, I feel like this game gets too lost in between San Andreas and V, but in my opinion, it's the one that deserve the most attention, seeing the amount of work that they put in this game still shocks me, I didn't even know most of the things that you showed us in this video, this game is from 2008, the fact that people are still finding details never seen before says a lot about how masterfully done this game is, love your content, keep up the absolutely amazing work!
@ same thing for sa you basicaly needs mod to make gta sa steam edition even playable due to game breaking bugs that can corrupt save games and missions from being finished/Completed
The sound design in GTA IV is honestly amazing. I was completing the Francis McReary mission shooting the gang in the apartment buildings and I noticed the sounds of the indoor gunshots being echoed and having more bass. Honestly 10/10 game
GTA IV has a relatively small world, this is why it's my favorite, because it's so detailed, there's no other city in the game industry that is so great as LC.
I’m still wishing that gta 6 will have a small, detailed world like 4, but I know rockstar is making it 800 square miles or whatever so they can brag about it to the press
I agree - although the city does still feel sizeable, they definitely sacrificed rural areas that surround NYC to make Liberty City feel more like a metropolis. I think Los Santos in 5 was way too small, they should’ve cut that whole other part of the map out, it’s so uninteresting, there’s literally a trailer town and then some ass end town with next to nothing to do in it, then miles of greenery; but there’s no hunting to do or anything within this greenery. There’s only so many times I want to climb that mountain or break into the army base. No joke you can reach the airport from the Vinewood sign in like 3 to 4 minutes with a fast vehicle - if they’d just concentrated on making Los Santos huge it would’ve been a better choice overall.
@@maxpayneful4328 Los Santos literally takes up a quarter of the map! The only part of GTA IV that really felt unique was Broker and Algonquin. I agree, Paleto Bay was a little uninspired but Mount Chiliad, the Alamo Sea, Sandy Shores and the surrounding Blaine County is just brimming with things to see and do. Don’t get me wrong, I love both games but GTA IV really needed a couple of biomes like the Pine Barrens or Long Island.
GTA IV has loads of realistic and immersive features. When you shoot tyres they gradually deflate, police officers will spawn in raincoats when it rains and you can pick up cans, bricks, etc and throw them at things. It's a shame all these little things weren't in GTA V, I hope GTA VI returns to IVs realism.
I'm hopeful after RDR2 and the response that game got for it's realism that rockstar will add these features for publicity and PR alone. You couldn't escape the articles/videos about horse balls changing between warm and cold environments
Judging by how rockstar finally gave into the woke crowd and hired a bunch of diversity hires, I am willing to bet money GTA 6 will be the worst in the series.
The car wash fact is actually so cool, most people think that the writings on the walls are just there to add detail but sometimes they have actual gameplay mechanics. awesome
I finished this game probably 5 or 6 times, played hundrets of hours, but there, still stuff I've never seen. Crazy that a game from 2008 is more detailed than most of the games nowadays.
@@InternetRob hey bro.. i hope you're doing good. I'm using your mods in GTA San Andreas. When I'm on LOS SEPULCROS Mission the game crashes after cutscene. Many people says that it's because of story mode 2.0.sadly i don't know how to fix that issue. 😥 Have you faced the same issue during LOS SEPULCROS Mission? Can you help me to fix that issues.
This is amazing, I'm glad to see GTA 4 is still relevant to talk about. I still love this game and everything in it. And i still think it's the best GTA of all time.
@@DiamondHoe well good luck with that thinking, 👍 you obviously haven't matured yet having that pre-pubescent mind set. GTA 4 was ahead of it's time, it felt more mature and dark. Better weapon handling, vehicle handling, combat skills, and speaking of the melee. Each character feels the hits from the fists and bats all the way to the knife feeling the cuts. In GTA 5, they go down instantly like you're playing in god mode or something. Absolutely nothing felt better than hearing that loading music in GTA 4 and hearing Niko speak for the first time. I grew tired of hearing " why did i move here? " no one cares
For me, GTA4 was the first intro to realistic gaming. It was also my departure from gaming all together. I got GTA 5, played the campaign once, and never played it again. However, I put ENDLESS hours into 4 before 5 came out.
I picked up V upon release (console) and literally put it down after about an hour, I was so disappointed. I had to wait until PC release with a shitload of mods before I even finished the campaign. IV on the other hand I played over and over again putting a ridiculous amount of time into it.
@@SherLock55 What a clown you are lol, 5 is a masterpiece, literally nobody agrees with your opinion, you GTA 4 fan boys need to put down GTA 5 because that's the only way you can elevate your inferior game. GTA 4 is not as good as 5
This game is so under appreciated for the insane level of not just detail but genuine passion put into it definitely worth playing despite its sequel (in some ways I’d say it’s actually better most notably in the physics)
It runs horribly, basically unplayable without heavy modifications on PC, and it's stuck on legacy hardware Xbox 360 and PS3, the largest reasons it isn't played nor remembered as much as Vice City, San Andreas or GTA 5.
@@abbas-aliibnmohammadal-nam929 I don't know how anyone actually finished this beta game. With all the friends calling me from boroughs away while I'm trying to explore, I had to quit for the second time. That is the most annoying feature I have literally ever seen in a game and has led me to make the decision to never play another Rockstar game ever again. If it has their name on it, I won't even consider it.
I love IV since I bought it back in high school, and there’re so many details that rockstar really put some efforts in it. For example, I’m a car guy, and I took so many times driving around the map, and man, I love the fact that you get to decide either leaving a car while the engine is running, or turning it off by holding the exit button, you could even heard the sound of hand brakes.
I'm convinced the people working at Rockstar between San Andreas and IV were some of the biggest wizards in gaming history. They gave us San Andreas, and then the handheld games (Chinatown Wars, VCS, LCS) and then IV. LCS and VCS might have just been the old games rehashed, but IV was such an impressive marvel of detail, realism and just technological achievement that I still adore it to this day. It makes me mad when people whine about the driving physics. It takes patience to go around a corner, you're not hitting a turn at 90mph like in GTA V.
I remember rushing across town to pick this game up at midnight to be greeted by a line of people through the width of the shop. Noooooo, jumped in the car & shot across to my local Asda to find only 5 people in line. Yessssss! Fired up GTA IV & watched a policeman roll down his window to throw an apple core onto the street. I knew at this point that this was truly the future.
I still remember when I saw first trailer for GTA IV back in 2007, I was like WTF and my jaw dropped. I bought the PC version the very first day. I am obsessed with this game more than I was with SA. The details is one reason why I love this game but what's even more attractive to me is this game feels grounded unlike other ones. It has a nice relation between humor and seriousness, it feels like being home even if I'm not living in a city. This game has a soul :-)
I had a car explode near Niko and knock me down with the flying tire, damaging health. Probly the most impressive and funniest moments of GTA4 gameplay.
I had no idea about the destructive environment parts asides from the dinasour, since that's inevitable during the museum shootout mission, but that legit blew my mind.
I recently discovered a hidden skatepark, I was baffled to discover something so cool in such a well hidden area, I am sure most of you have already found this too.
It's crazy after over a decade of playing the game I found skate parks that I had never known about. I remember knowing about that one under the bridge, but I found another one. I assumed there were only three but now I think there's upwards of 5 or so.
@@Blahsheep Damn, you all are making me want to play the game again, it's been a few years. I only remember 2 or 3, but I'm not surprised to hear there's more. I've always loved how Rockstar manages to hide so many things in their maps. To me, exploring and discovering new things is as much fun as the core gameplay.
When I first clicked on this video, I was convinced it was going to be mostly stuff I already knew but it wasn’t! I knew none of these details! Amazing the love and attention the developers really put into this game, sad to think about the future of Rockstar without Dan but hopefully Sam will continue to deliver a product that lives up to the standard we all hold Rockstar to.
It's crazy how the mailman was a beta feature but you can still sometimes spot them in the game. Always tried to find him when I played back in the day and couldn't find him.
Wow Rob. You and the community have really suprised me with the stuff I REALLY DIDN"T KNOW about the game! And the editing is trully unique and very pleasant. Great job!
One of the best open world games ever made. In fact, it’s one of the best games ever! This game proves that love and dedication makes an amazing product. The amount of details in this game is awesome
Never knew about the buskers restoring health, I thought they only give a new ringtone for the player. Its awesome how GTA IV has that much level of attention-to-detail despite being an old game, goes to show that this game is very worthy of praise and appreciation. Welcome back, Rob! Quality content as always, keep it up! #keepGTA4alive #GTAIV
One of my favorite details is how easy it is to limit your body count. Unlike GTA V they don't just die instantly whehn you take their health to zero, if they can get up and wander around licking their wounds, they won't shoot at you, but they also don't get added to your body count. There's also pacifists in the game, which almost literally nobody mentions
I've been waiting for your next video and didn't disappoint, it still blows me away how detailed and immersive GTA IV was for a 7th Generation 2008 game. Tremendous work!
I think what justifies the health increase when tipping the buskers might be that the health system in gta iv is not exclusively physical but mental aswell. So It's a fun way to look at it really.
Yes! Finally! Another banger from Internet Rob in years. I already know it's gonna be a banger. Pls make GTA TBOGT with mods. I've been waiting for that video for 200+ years and it's about time
When chased by the cops by car, if you stand in front of a pedestrian (kinda using it as a human shield) the cops in their car will not slam the pedestrian just to hit you, instead they get behind you (getting the ped out of their way) , trying not to hit the pedestrian and potentially save a civilian life.
This was an excellent lil video Rob. I’ve been playing this game since I was 13 years old and was surprised how much of this info was brand new to me. Very glad I found your channel recently. Easily one of the most creative and dedicated folks in the GTA community
Actually there is a news report on the radio that talks about the seagulls. It says something to the effect of Burger Shot taking credit for there being more or less no seagulls in the city due to their introduction of mystery meat a couple of months ago. Found that out today while just cruising and listening to the radio in game.
Rob you have a really special channel here my dude! I have done countless playthroughs and never noticed most of these! I guess things like the radio weather and time of day acknowledgements is so immersive that one doesn't even notice. A testament to how well crafted GTA IV is! Love your videos man, we can only hope for a remaster of this game one day with improved PC performance however that is unlikely.
Welcome back, Rob x Gah damn, I actually learned something new. Usually videos like these just say the same things over and over again, but I should've guessed that you'd actually put some real effort in, as you always do. Good work, my friend
I seriously dislike those videos that just copy from the findings of other people. But catsmackaroo, whatever57010, Alexander PolyAK, and BadgerGoodger are reliable for showcasing many genuine findings.
If they combined the small details of GTA IV, with the other small details of GTA V. Then added the physics of GTA IV & the hustle and bustle atmosphere of GTA V, it would be an absolutely perfect game.
GTAIV will never be surpassed in environmental immersion. Walking down the street in this game is like walking down a real street it's incredible. When it released, it absolutely blew everything else at the time out of the water in the open world shooter genre. The shooting is nearly terrible, but the driving and fighting are top notch in my opinion.
Owned every GTA since 3 and this was the first I ever fully completed - I’ve found myself never really wanting to revisit it as I always felt I had already had the fullest experience of that game I was going to get, but this video has made me really want to commit to replaying it all these years later
I've seen the telephone repair guy only once and I honestly thought I just made it up in my head cause I've never seen them again even after years of playing the game.
Great video! Reading the comments it's amazing to realize there's still so many GTA IV fans out there. One thing I have been wondering about myself since the release is the following. When driving around LC with the voice navigation on, occasionally the "pim-pom" turn signal given by the navigation is substituted with a vocal version. In your thousands of hours of playing this game have you gotten close to figuring out what is the reason behind this seemingly random behaviour? Seems like an easter egg to me, but I'm still wondering is there any more depth to the pattern of occurence?
there are things about GTA SA that i really loved. the setting, the variety, the world seeming so grand, the humor. then came IV and EfLC and they completely redefined what an open world game could feel like. they were the absolute pinnacle of GTA. V could have been the best of both worlds - but unfortunately it was just a step back. since then, RDR2 and the leaked VI material have given me some hope for the next installment, but R* / T2 will probably make many mistakes out of greed again (see GTAO). let's hope for the best.
Yes GTA4 is best in series overall imo. 2008 was a great year for gaming in general they had nice immersion and attention to details like Far Cry 2, MGS4, F3, DMC4, Dead Space etc etc and ofcourse GTA4.
This is still the most immersive open world I have ever been in. Every detail made it feel so lived in. You can browse the internet and watch actual tv shows in this thing for fuck sake
Actually for most gta games, propane tanks are a good way to eliminate a lot of enemies at once, if you are lucky enough to find one in the correct spot.
So cool. This was always my favorite GTA, maybe because it really does the diversity of NY (Liberty) city so well, or because they got the lighting perfect at dusk and dawn. Going to boot it up and try to see some the details you mentioned. Thanks!
I’ve been playing this game since release, on multiple platforms. I never once saw the electrical repair man. Never even knew that was implemented. I’ve seen the delivery drivers, also when they’re unloading. To me this game just has the most detailed open world (next to RDR2) and considering its age just makes it all the more incredible.
GTA San Andreas Radio station also acknowledges the weather and time, i was once listening to K-DST in the in-game evening and then Tommy "Thr Nightmare" Smith just said, "I hope you're having a great evening out there" and i was listening to Radio Los Santos during rainy weather and then the host said "The storm is picking up, so stay home and listen to your RLS!". It shocked me that a 2004 game could be so detailed.

Dude that was actually amazing! I had no idea it had so many hidden details!
1:49 Fun fact: A lot of the bones in displayed dinosaur skeletons are fake. They are however made from the real ones.
Fossilized bones or just straight up replica?
Never knew about the buskers restoring health, I thought they only give a new ringtone for the player.
Its awesome how GTA IV has that much level of attention-to-detail despite being an old game, goes to show that this game is very worthy of praise and appreciation.
Welcome back, Rob!
Quality content as always, keep it up!

One of my favorite details is how easy it is to limit your body count. Unlike GTA V they don't just die instantly whehn you take their health to zero, if they can get up and wander around licking their wounds, they won't shoot at you, but they also don't get added to your body count. There's also pacifists in the game, which almost literally nobody mentions
you clowns just can't help yourselves but to bring up GTA V when this game comes up lol. GTA V was objectively a superior game by every metric

Can't

nothing
today
I've been waiting for your next video and didn't disappoint, it still blows me away how detailed and immersive GTA IV was for a 7th Generation 2008 game. Tremendous work!
thanks a bunch mate
4:45 I laughed on this part haha
5:52 Finally at least some honest morning show radio hosts. 😉
to this date, GTA4 managed to capture the most realistic setting, scenery, story and overall unique experience. GTA5 did not do the same.
1 year and no comment? lemme fix that.
0:36 this line aged perfectly 🤣
Virus virus virus🤣
4:16 ah yes, cyberpunk 2077 cars
3:00 I love that people are STILL making mods to help improve immersion in this game. L.O.V.E IT!
I think what justifies the health increase when tipping the buskers might be that the health system in gta iv is not exclusively physical but mental aswell. So It's a fun way to look at it really.
even after 400 hours of GTA 4, i learned something new today. thanks Rob!
perfect, it was my pleasure mate.
0:21 When I first saw this npc I was surprised by level of detail and subtle storytelling which this game provides.
Yes! Finally! Another banger from Internet Rob in years. I already know it's gonna be a banger. Pls make GTA TBOGT with mods. I've been waiting for that video for 200+ years and it's about time
6:30 this rain had to pass through 3rd world countries to get here lmfao. The humor never gets old.
6:40 funfact: you can hear the radio saying that jay norris died. (After you complete friend request in gta v)
When chased by the cops by car, if you stand in front of a pedestrian (kinda using it as a human shield) the cops in their car will not slam the pedestrian just to hit you, instead they get behind you (getting the ped out of their way) , trying not to hit the pedestrian and potentially save a civilian life.
The amount of beauty and serenity in the game is amazing I’m downloading project birds right now. It’s such a subtle change to the game but I love it.
This was an excellent lil video Rob. I’ve been playing this game since I was 13 years old and was surprised how much of this info was brand new to me. Very glad I found your channel recently. Easily one of the most creative and dedicated folks in the GTA community
06:32 😂😂😂
2:35 that boat called the Octopus can also be found in Los Santos in GTA 5
7:08 Vsauce be like
Trip Michael here
Got this recommended randomly, glad I got it.
Really interesting how much details Rockstar packed into this game
welcome, thanks for giving it a watch mate.
7:20 the mental state of the average londoner
Actually there is a news report on the radio that talks about the seagulls. It says something to the effect of Burger Shot taking credit for there being more or less no seagulls in the city due to their introduction of mystery meat a couple of months ago. Found that out today while just cruising and listening to the radio in game.
0:53 Made my day hahahahahaha
And 7:00 "Lots of sun but you don't need a dumb bitch to tell you that" 🤣
Rob you have a really special channel here my dude! I have done countless playthroughs and never noticed most of these! I guess things like the radio weather and time of day acknowledgements is so immersive that one doesn't even notice. A testament to how well crafted GTA IV is! Love your videos man, we can only hope for a remaster of this game one day with improved PC performance however that is unlikely.
GTA IV's immersion levels are off the chart, you just have to allow yourself to sink into that world... thanks for all the kind words.
GTA IV is the most realistic. Honestly feels like real life - Hanging with Jacob, Roman & Packie!
Wow, I never seen those delivery drivers, thought that this scenario is broken or unused, but damn, cool stuff!
Welcome back, Rob x
Gah damn, I actually learned something new. Usually videos like these just say the same things over and over again, but I should've guessed that you'd actually put some real effort in, as you always do. Good work, my friend
I seriously dislike those videos that just copy from the findings of other people.
But catsmackaroo, whatever57010, Alexander PolyAK, and BadgerGoodger are reliable for showcasing many genuine findings.
4:35 lol, even these placeholders in GTA 4 were done better than in Cyberpunk.
If they combined the small details of GTA IV, with the other small details of GTA V. Then added the physics of GTA IV & the hustle and bustle atmosphere of GTA V, it would be an absolutely perfect game.
Don't forget the details and features only GTA SA had too.
Damn this shocks me😳..the amount of work they put into this game is insane.✨
Excellent work Rob ❤️
GTAIV will never be surpassed in environmental immersion. Walking down the street in this game is like walking down a real street it's incredible.
When it released, it absolutely blew everything else at the time out of the water in the open world shooter genre.
The shooting is nearly terrible, but the driving and fighting are top notch in my opinion.
This game hides so many secrets and details... it's fascinating the good care they took for
7:40 damn Lester was a lot different back then....
Owned every GTA since 3 and this was the first I ever fully completed - I’ve found myself never really wanting to revisit it as I always felt I had already had the fullest experience of that game I was going to get, but this video has made me really want to commit to replaying it all these years later
I've seen the telephone repair guy only once and I honestly thought I just made it up in my head cause I've never seen them again even after years of playing the game.
damn thats insane
1:36 not the damn balls i always respected that thing since i got gta 4 lol
This guy's videos just never dissapoint
I hope GTA VI will have the same or even more attention to detail like in GTA IV. Because what they did with this game is truly unbeaten to this day.
How did no one notice that it’s laslow from gta v talking at 3:38
Lazlow isn't from V, he's been in grand theft auto for 20 years.
Great video! Reading the comments it's amazing to realize there's still so many GTA IV fans out there. One thing I have been wondering about myself since the release is the following. When driving around LC with the voice navigation on, occasionally the "pim-pom" turn signal given by the navigation is substituted with a vocal version. In your thousands of hours of playing this game have you gotten close to figuring out what is the reason behind this seemingly random behaviour? Seems like an easter egg to me, but I'm still wondering is there any more depth to the pattern of occurence?
GTA IV will never die, it is too good 🌺
Yeah, it happens all the time. It’s just a little detail to make you go “huh? did I hear that right?” and it’s so funny.
there are things about GTA SA that i really loved. the setting, the variety, the world seeming so grand, the humor.
then came IV and EfLC and they completely redefined what an open world game could feel like. they were the absolute pinnacle of GTA.
V could have been the best of both worlds - but unfortunately it was just a step back.
since then, RDR2 and the leaked VI material have given me some hope for the next installment, but R* / T2 will probably make many mistakes out of greed again (see GTAO). let's hope for the best.
Yes GTA4 is best in series overall imo. 2008 was a great year for gaming in general they had nice immersion and attention to details like Far Cry 2, MGS4, F3, DMC4, Dead Space etc etc and ofcourse GTA4.
This is still the most immersive open world I have ever been in. Every detail made it feel so lived in. You can browse the internet and watch actual tv shows in this thing for fuck sake
Why this game will always be in my opinion the best gta. Details to the world, destruction of the world, and the npcs were the best
I also like the attention to cars in the game, since older cars will lock their wheels if you slam on the brakes and newer cars don’t.
Actually for most gta games, propane tanks are a good way to eliminate a lot of enemies at once, if you are lucky enough to find one in the correct spot.
So you basically means that IV removing the tanks was a good idea because it was hard to find in the other games.
So cool. This was always my favorite GTA, maybe because it really does the diversity of NY (Liberty) city so well, or because they got the lighting perfect at dusk and dawn. Going to boot it up and try to see some the details you mentioned. Thanks!
My guy just blew up the twin towers 1:24
NAHHH
editing is immaculate youve got a new subscriber!
4:06 Classic Film!
GTA IV is the best game in the last 20 years change my mind
I agree
Need to play more games
I’ve been playing this game since release, on multiple platforms. I never once saw the electrical repair man. Never even knew that was implemented. I’ve seen the delivery drivers, also when they’re unloading. To me this game just has the most detailed open world (next to RDR2) and considering its age just makes it all the more incredible.
Soviet Connection while reversing in the ice cream van is the creepiest thing ever
You make me love my Favorite Game even more❤️🔥
1:30 Noo wayyy
5:00 i finished gta 4 like 4,5 times i never seen this 'buskets' :D
what the hell, open your eyes to the world of GTA IV!
Amazing work on the video
GTA San Andreas Radio station also acknowledges the weather and time, i was once listening to K-DST in the in-game evening and then Tommy "Thr Nightmare" Smith just said, "I hope you're having a great evening out there" and i was listening to Radio Los Santos during rainy weather and then the host said "The storm is picking up, so stay home and listen to your RLS!". It shocked me that a 2004 game could be so detailed.
Now I love this game even more…My favourite gta by far
3:58 Normal remote view detail.
There's nothing wrong with that.
2:55 MUSIC?!
