When the beat drops; you know you’re in for a treat. Shivers when “Grand theft auto 4” appears across the screen in big letters. “We all do dumb things; that’s what makes us human” Literal lightning in a bottle
I like how they made Niko blink several times afterwards to showcase they upgraded the facial features and realism from gta 3 & Vice City block character models
@@OVO.Stark1M Also the hands! Even back then we all noticed how silly the PS2 era hands looked 😂 but in this scene you can see the complete transformation of textures and physics. Masterpiece game.
I remember my save ended up getting corrupted for the single player after I beat the story so every time I loaded up the game this scene started with the dude getting whipped. Good times.
I remember the first time I saw that intro man. 10 year old me simply couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The upgrade from gta 3, San Andreas and vice city was so immense and overwhelming and it honestly felt so next gen back in the day I can’t even describe it.
This Scene Always Makes Me Sad. What is not told on the stage, and what can not be understood from the noise that Roman makes, is Niko's great sadness, and he keeps it until the end of the scene. Even more devastated when he realizes that the stories told by Roman, which was her only hope when they got home, were lies.
I've always played V a ton, the most out of every GTA and loved it, now i started IV and, I love this game so much more, the vibe, the story, the charcaters, liberty city, VLADIVOSTOK FM. I love this dark tone in GTA miles more, i'm just 25% in and i love it to death, nothing can IV, nothing.
I completely agree. And what’s great is that the dark tone permeates throughout the entirety of the story, but they still manage to make the satire and comedy work it’s just less frequent than the games before and after this one. Like this game is still fucking hilarious and that’s largely thanks to Romans voice actor being incredible and Brucey being the dumbest juice head ever. But still the dark tone is absolutely what made this game so much fun to play the narrative is bleak and I like that Niko loses someone important to him regardless of what you choose because it highlights the idea that you cannot live the criminal life and leave unscathed. Which is reiterated to Niko throughout the entire game by virtually everyone he meets.
The best GTA in history is the GTA 4. GTA 5 is the worst one. I couldn't even finish it, everything about it is worse, except for more nonsensical choices. I've only bared to play like 1/3 and couldn't finish it from how bad the game design and the scenario was, how unrelatable the characters were. Almost puked from how bad it was. GTA 4 is the best, and always will be. Just make sure to play with high fidelity graphics. On my screen it looks nothing like I see in yt videos. Just enable DSR and go the highest res possible. Everything is crisp and high fidelity.
"We all do dumb things, that's what makes us human" dammit, that phrase has been stuck in my head ever since I first played it. They should make a movie out of it - two Serbian brothers moving to New York hoping to get a better life but getting trapped by murderers, sociopaths and other thiefs realizing the American dream is only an illusion and facing the true wrath of reality. It would be a great movie
I love how all the important points of the plot are suggested in a matter of a minute and a half to just casually drop the beat and the title is shown. Hope Rockstar makes it this big again with GTA 6
1:43 to this date, this part sends chills down my spine. like Rockstar introducing a new era GTA in the most classy way possible. The badass peak Soivert SSR layer with russian instruments and cello nailing it on top of Liberty city background with smoggy dark theme. bi*ch the director was on weed while directing this theme? like "get your shit together people its about to go down dark"
Ya that still messes with my head. This was the last GTA I ever bought at launch. After this game, I honestly just did not care for GTA titles again for some reason. One of these days I will get around to finishing 5.
day one when this released and I was in a party chat with 3 other friends taking about how amazing this intro was. didn't even start playing the game until about an hour later because of this
GTA 4 and San Andreas are even with a slight advantage to SA simply because of how expansive it is. That and the radio stations in SA are better because the dialogue changes throughout the course of the story.
As excited as I am for gta 6. I cannot fucking wait to come back to liberty city in a modern day setting. I feel like seeing Italian mobsters again and the yakuza would just be really really dope. I miss games from this era. They’re so rarely made with as much love as they were back then.
I remember when I watched the first time back in December 2008, when I built a PC just for the release... A AMD Phenom X4 9550, 4GB DDR2 and a 9500 GT, I think I do still some videos from that era. Good times...
Since u went through the whole story, this intro hits different, and every time it is so dark and sad, but so amazing and damn beautiful... Best ever! And yeah u got them chills rach time u hear that 1:44 moment... Love it!
This intro track and Portal's outro track are probably always gonna be my favorite opening and closing to any game for the rest of my life. They were both unexpected and extremely well chosen.
I will be for ever thankful that i could experience this game at its peak. My first game to play over 1000 hours. I think Nico belic is one of the most influential characters in my life.
I remember playing this game, seeing the intro at a friend's place. The early ps3 days where so magical. I can't explain it, but it felt like the gaming world just knew what we wanted
1:26 isn’t that the cake box. That Bulgarin left a The Cook’s head when he cut his head off The Cook with The Diamonds. Isn’t that the cake box that Luis finds The Cook’s head.
The fact that even a Marvel game, Marvel's Spider-Man. Makes a reference to Niko and Roman, and the Lost MC. Signifies that this game is too good. Sad to see R* doesn't see this game as such.
Eu tinha só 5 anos quando esse jogo saiu, ganhei meu primeiro celular só em 2012 mas era um de teclado da sansung, eu achsva muito bom porém nem sabia oq era internet. o único videogame que eu tive foi o play 2 la pros 10 11 anos, e jogos mais trabalhados que nem esse eu nunca conseguiría alcançar, passei muitos anos con meu velho play 2 porém estou juntando dinheiro logo pra jogar essa maravilha da sétima geração de consoles❤️
The Girl and the man getting hitted, is in Gta San!:D The Girl was one of CJs girlfreinds but she found another man( the man she is hitting) and they Said something about moving to liberty City. And BTW she looks the same and speaks with the same accent as in Gta San
The girl in the intro is Asian(Thai) and clearly not Catalina which she's Hispanic. Despite their fair share of common ....fetishes(lol). I am Thai and I can confirm this. (tbh atfirst when it start playing i thought the sound came from the TV in the background of my home tho, come here to replay the scene just for sure lmao.)
slightly older comment, but 4 actually had better gameplay lol, you could pick things up like bricks and throw them, car damage is significantly better than 5, and physics overall are way more realistic and fun.
@wotbarrett1881 Bro it's literally proven that 4 has more realism, one of the reasons why it performs worse than 5 is because the physics engine version is much more advanced.
@@idontknowwhattoputhere.the physics are more like comically over-exaggerated than realistic but i cant really give it flak because it was pretty experimental back then
