Charlie X I guess you can say that but GTA 4 was just so lifeless and there was nothing to do along with the hand full of cars and 2 helicopters to drive.
isaiah nguyen lifeless no, in my opinion wasn't lifeless, the city was alive, you could find people making all kind of things, even hobos asking you for a dollar. I agree with you about the fact that there is not plenty to do with the cars, bikes... or too many clothes.
@Phoenixx ayy were 11 years apart. Born 1998. I got this game on my 13th bday. I also played liberty city stories on the PSP. Along with GTA 3/vice city for the original Xbox. Also GTA 4 Episodes from liberty city.
@@flint9889 lol I was born in 2003 I think I was around 5 or 6 when the game came out I used to go to my cousins house to play this Time flies by so fast :(
@Phoenixx Wow buddy! You're definitely playing much better games than your mates. Did you know 'Command and Conquer Remastered Collection' released last month? I was born an year after it was released and now they've remastered it for the new generation. I promise you won't be disappointed with this RTS game, give it a try. ^_~
Ak47 feels more real could be a little less but it’s gives the cars a actual feeling like in a heavy car better slow down on the turn vs gta 5 nothing matters
As for someone who's played and beat both gta iv and gta v I felt the fourth one just had a way better story and I loves liberty city and the amazing sound track don't get me wrong gta v was fun and has an awesome world, soundtrack animals ( which I personally really liked) and the amazing detail to graphics that rockstar is very known for but it seriously lacked in the characters I felt they didn't have the impact that nicko or roman, and little Jacob made and also honestly gta v doesn't really have too many options to customize your vehicles when compared to saints row2 and there really wasn't many clothing options if your just playing as one character and don't want to switch and last but not least I reaaaallly hate that rockstar tried forcing us to download an app for your phone to train chops when it could of easily been implanted in the game
Imagine this. GTA IV with RDRII graphics, with a more modern and detailed NYC and with domestic and wild animals. That'd be the best game ever, even better than GTA V.
Then they'd have to create the New York (Liberty) state like Rockstar had it originally in mind. It would work out very well for sure; hopefully in a future Liberty City setting. I believe GTA IV's story benefitted much from the exodus of East Germans/Yugoslavia War context, and to create something like that in current political scenario is very difficult. Rockstar pulled off something which couldn't fit in any other post-Arab Spring world and it did very successfully.
People that did not play this game when it came out, don`t understand how truly perfect this game was. The songs, the story, the online.... If there was a way to go back in time, I would.
Patrick Richter That and because you were able to switch between 3 characters I felt like they didn't have enough time to give a good background to each character.
Nathaniel Levesque GTA 5 Has better and newer gameplay mechanics but GTA 4 Had more interesting characters and a more interesting story line and way more missions then GTA 5
***** Are you serious? A character with no background is boring as hell. Are you easily satisfied by graphics that you don't care about the emotions and motives behind a character.
Blake Does Gaming Nice try Vice City its also nice, maybe it was back at the time , maybe today its not so fun anymore, GTA 5 its good but i was expecting much better i have to say
GTA 4 was such a rich game. I had a lot of fun and made so much friends!😂😭❤️, i think it's way better of GTA5 because the map is more beautiful and the mods too. but nostalgia plays part too
You know what I hate most about GTA 5? (excluding no current PC release) the community Honestly go somewhere and say "I don't like (insert GTA protagonist) people will either not care, or say "I agree" or "I like them but I respect your opinion" Go say "I don't like Trevor" and 200 seven-year-olds will come in arguing with you
There's this little shit that does nothing but talk about GTA5. Whenever you even mention Saints Row (I love Saints Row), he says it sucks, even though he's only played Saints Row 4 for 5 minutes. The fanboys are what have kept me from GTA for so long.
Shlomo Auschwitzgoldbergshekelstein Its true, but GTA sa fans are even worse. I mean at least the toxic fans from gta v are mostly kids. San andreas is filled with people with the same mentality level as the gta v fans.
GTA 5 looks badass, but its downfall in my opinion is the story. Since they had to divide a 30-40hr game into 3 to fit the characters, there was no character build up hence you ended up not caring too much about them. I wish there was more time to play as each character and that their story would start earlier to see why they ended up crossing paths. Instead, I felt like I skipped 40mins of a movie to where the real action starts, so it feels incomplete. That is why I love San Andreas because I got to see CJ's beginnings and also with Niko I got to see his "fresh start" in NYC spread throughout a 35 hour game.
The story in GTA 4 felt much deeper than that of GTA 5 but really after you beat the story there's literally nothing to do in the game and nothing to do with your money but I really liked the fact you were able to go into the burger shot don't know why they took it out for GTA 5.
Lee Cummings Yeah exactly. I personally think gta5 was better in every other way (almost) but I am not going to force my opinion down peoples throats just because I think it.
Joey Slávik The only people who like gta 5 more are people who don't care about story and just want to do mindless shit. gta 5 takes a less serious turn. gta 4 is undeniably better, it's a damn masterpiece.
I was 11 when this released I remember begging my mom to buy me ps3 but she never did so I had to wait another 3 years until I had my own money to buy xbox 360
"Doesn't really have the framerate issues that have plagued the game in the past." Meanwhile over half of this review footage is at sub-30 FPS. Oh how our standards have changed.
The physics in 4 are way beyond than what many games today put out. Even to this day top end processors have difficulty maintaining its complex physics model. This is the reason why vehicle handling became flat, almost like there's no suspension. Same with character models who react less to your contact. In addition car damage was severely reduced and object contact movement was also lessened. A lot of downgrades. GTA4 after san andreas was really a next gen game. Moving in the world was so griddy and realistic In addition to this realism the dark and depressing atmosphere of what daily life in New York is is absolutely shocking, and this comes from someone who lived in NY for almost 20 years. It looked completely different and absolutely surreal back in 2008. GTA5 is no where near this leap that GTA4 made, and arguably took several steps back.
@@faizaan_787 i guarantee that you call yourself a gamer after you played roblox and probably lives in their mom's basement and I'm being modest lol And you probably do cringey fortnite dances
YourCreepyUncle I miss games where your just thrown into thr world and just start from there and do your thing. Even the introduction to Skyrim is the worst part of the game.
It wasn't that dark compaired to Gta 4, Probably because the Protagonist in Gta 3 is Mute/Refuses to talk giving a handicap of not expressing his feelings unlike 4
GTA 3 is a lot darker than people think it is, I agree.. But it's still no where near as dark as GTA 4. Eddie Low's missions alone are 100 percent proof of that. Look them up.
I remember first playing this at a sleepover in 2008, didn’t know what the game was I just enjoyed the freedom it gave me. I miss the days when you could find out about a game from your friends, kept that intrigue alive
GTA IV is way better than V reasons: better city better online better damage physics(on cars) better driving physics better soundtrack better radio better story better characters better vehicles better community better all around game play(online also) better dlc better equality
yeah i had the same thing. after listening flashing light in gta 4 i downloaded kanyes album "graduation". i am atm still listening it. my favourite song is champion btw.
Its crazy to look at this and compare this to GTA V and see how far we came in pushing the Xbox 360 and PS3 to their limits. It's like looking at GTA 3 and seeing how much further they got with pushing the graphics limits with GTA San Andreas on the PS2
***** Oh no problem I was quite surprised they did that; sad, now I wanna trade my Xbox One in for a 360, because I am under the impression they won't remaster it on the One
Did you just say they pushed the graphics limits with san andreas? Bro san andreas has bad graphics for the PS2. Yeah it came out in 2004, there were still games with better graphics in 2004. The best graphics I have ever seen on a PS2 game was God Of War
Zack Woodd wait until you see God of War 2 then. Btw I was talking about pushing the limits of their GTA games, not games in general. Compare GTA 3 to SA and you will see what a huge leap forward it was in scale.
I remember playing this for the first time and the weight of the cars was on point from sanandreas turning instantly to the weighty feel or gta 4 I think it nailed it, gta 4 shits all over gta 5 even in story
i seriously disagree when i hear people say san andreas was the best, im sure it was good. but this game had fixed everything from SA and did it perfectly. shooting, cover, driving, animations, graphics, characters were all better in this game then in SA. gta4 is one of the best games ever made and possibly my favourite. and dont let me ramble on about gta5, when technically, it is the best gta. but i prefere the story and characters of gta4.
I'll never forget looking at this review with kayne playing back in 08. This game is often forgotten about, but it holds up as one of the best gta games
Bryan Smith Certainly not in the story department i'll tell you that. It was cool for a one time ago, and I really like the characters but I honestly have no desire to ever play the story mode again. Alot of boring and slow missions as well.
Within twenty-four hours of its release, Grand Theft Auto IV sold over 3.6 million copies, equating to approximately $310 million in revenue. Within a week, it generated more than $500 million in worldwide revenue, equating to approximately 6 million copies sold for Take Two.
Ozae and the city it's self naturally New York City in comparison to Los Angeles is a overall way more bussiling city the subway system in gta4 is soooooo authentic it can be utilized for some missions developers want you to exploit these things bust most people don't
@@SarahConnor618 the melee attacks was the same for all three characters in GTA V and u press one button for them to do the same combo. Gta IV u have more melee options and more counter animations
Knees to the body, low blows, roundhouse kicks, devastating baseball bat to the head, stabs to the body - Niko had it all. GTA 5 has very few combat animations, even between all 3 characters, while GTA 4 has a lot for 1 character. GTA 4 wins.
Unfortunately,Rockstar games don't care about their old games and community now,only for GTA Online and Red Dead Online(And money of course ,but it's TakeTwo fault).Remastered version of GTA IV(and not only this GTA),best multiplayer ever made will never be exist in our time.
In 2018 I'm watching this trailer again, such a fantastic game. One of the last games with which I could truly immerse myself into the world, great story, great music, great acting, great characters, great detail in almost everything, gritty feel to the city. This game also had two fantastic DLC games which both were their own games and told their own stories whilst all connecting to each other and this game inadvertently became a period piece of the late 2000's.
People give this game shit just because it's not as "fun" to some people as San Andreas and GTA 5. The main story of this game was great and I can play this game 6 years after its release and still have fun beating the story mode (and I've beat the story at least 10 times).
I miss this game so much. The greatest GTA ever in my opinion. The gta that brought me into the series. I wish i could play this right now but it's still not on the ps4

no he's right. someone even made a video comparing the physics. It is really noticeable on shooting reactions and combat
oh and driving, though that was done on purpose
The physics in 4 are way beyond than what many games today put out. Even to this day top end processors have difficulty maintaining its complex physics model. This is the reason why vehicle handling became flat, almost like there's no suspension. Same with character models who react less to your contact. In addition car damage was severely reduced and object contact movement was also lessened. A lot of downgrades. GTA4 after san andreas was really a next gen game. Moving in the world was so griddy and realistic In addition to this realism the dark and depressing atmosphere of what daily life in New York is is absolutely shocking, and this comes from someone who lived in NY for almost 20 years. It looked completely different and absolutely surreal back in 2008. GTA5 is no where near this leap that GTA4 made, and arguably took several steps back.
Come on san andreas easily beats them both
This video made me return to my PS3 and replay gta iv
Lol same bro
i've never stoped playing it :)
Charlie X
Same
and don't need return. Xbox One have it
Lucasddst hey! Who cares
Oh the nostalgia. I was at the end of 7th grade when this game out, I was 13. Now I'm 19 in my first year of college
How you doing nowadays?
AND now you aré 27!
Coming back here 15 years later.....they killed it with that intro 🔥
Welcome back
The darkest GTA ever.!
I know it's so memorable because of that!
I have the saturation and brightness its dark so it sets the setting
@PussyIsHere and the most overrated
@PussyIsHere Ur name speaks for itself
@@faizaan_787 i guarantee that you call yourself a gamer after you played roblox and probably lives in their mom's basement and I'm being modest lol
And you probably do cringey fortnite dances
GTA 5 was too easy as if Rockstar tried to aim it for 12 year olds.
well it is much easier for 12 year olds to get an M rated game.
Welcome to modern gaming
+Kerim Collings Yeah studios do try to hold your hand through the game
YourCreepyUncle I miss games where your just thrown into thr world and just start from there and do your thing. Even the introduction to Skyrim is the worst part of the game.
+Kerim Collings I know exactly what you mean
"This is such a dark GTA game"
Have any of you played GTA 3?
It wasn't that dark compaired to Gta 4, Probably because the Protagonist in Gta 3 is Mute/Refuses to talk giving a handicap of not expressing his feelings unlike 4
GTA 3 is a lot darker than people think it is, I agree.. But it's still no where near as dark as GTA 4. Eddie Low's missions alone are 100 percent proof of that. Look them up.
I remember first playing this at a sleepover in 2008, didn’t know what the game was I just enjoyed the freedom it gave me. I miss the days when you could find out about a game from your friends, kept that intrigue alive
GTA IV is way better than V reasons:
better city
better online
better damage physics(on cars)
better driving physics
better soundtrack
better radio
better story
better characters
better vehicles
better community
better all around game play(online also)
better dlc
better equality
ALLLLLL RIGHTY THEN!!!!!
YAKEEM SPLASH lol
let's put another shrimp on the barbie.
KodyRF1993 indeed lets do
Lloyd Christmas let's not! lol
This video got me into Kanye West. Flashing Lights is still my favorite song by him.
Have you listened to stronger or gold digger? They're probably my favourites ;)
Same. My second favourite is "Power".
yeah i had the same thing. after listening flashing light in gta 4 i downloaded kanyes album "graduation". i am atm still listening it. my favourite song is champion btw.
Same here. That song still gives me the chills it's so good and so is GTA 4
came here to say the exact same thing. dog bless
Its crazy to look at this and compare this to GTA V and see how far we came in pushing the Xbox 360 and PS3 to their limits. It's like looking at GTA 3 and seeing how much further they got with pushing the graphics limits with GTA San Andreas on the PS2
Compare Gta San Andreas Xbox 360 to GTA V Xbox 360
+Zer0dog Yes, it is. I went to gamestop last week and saw Grand Theft Auto San Andreas remastered on the 360 for $19.99.
***** Oh no problem I was quite surprised they did that; sad, now I wanna trade my Xbox One in for a 360, because I am under the impression they won't remaster it on the One
Did you just say they pushed the graphics limits with san andreas? Bro san andreas has bad graphics for the PS2. Yeah it came out in 2004, there were still games with better graphics in 2004. The best graphics I have ever seen on a PS2 game was God Of War
Zack Woodd wait until you see God of War 2 then. Btw I was talking about pushing the limits of their GTA games, not games in general. Compare GTA 3 to SA and you will see what a huge leap forward it was in scale.
I remember playing this for the first time and the weight of the cars was on point from sanandreas turning instantly to the weighty feel or gta 4 I think it nailed it, gta 4 shits all over gta 5 even in story
it makes you actually feel like a depressed man
-10/10 ign
No
i seriously disagree when i hear people say san andreas was the best, im sure it was good. but this game had fixed everything from SA and did it perfectly. shooting, cover, driving, animations, graphics, characters were all better in this game then in SA. gta4 is one of the best games ever made and possibly my favourite. and dont let me ramble on about gta5, when technically, it is the best gta. but i prefere the story and characters of gta4.
I'll never forget looking at this review with kayne playing back in 08. This game is often forgotten about, but it holds up as one of the best gta games
It's aged extremely well especially if your on PC
Although GTA V is better in many aspects, I believe it doesn't have the charm that GTA IV had.
Many? Such as.......?
Bryan Smith Certainly not in the story department i'll tell you that. It was cool for a one time ago, and I really like the characters but I honestly have no desire to ever play the story mode again. Alot of boring and slow missions as well.
I just want my phone call ayyyye I remember you
this game make me sad when i remember played in it 2009-2013.. i miss that days so mutch.
GUYS THIS WAS IN 2008!!!IT WAS AMAZING BACK THEN.
And it still is.
indeed

2019:This is the year baby!
Within twenty-four hours of its release, Grand Theft Auto IV sold over 3.6 million copies, equating to approximately $310 million in revenue. Within a week, it generated more than $500 million in worldwide revenue, equating to approximately 6 million copies sold for Take Two.
There’s one thing everyone can agree on: The melee combat in this game is heavily superior to GTA 5’s.
Ozae and the city it's self naturally New York City in comparison to Los Angeles is a overall way more bussiling city the subway system in gta4 is soooooo authentic it can be utilized for some missions developers want you to exploit these things bust most people don't
You have only 2 attacks and they usually miss their target.. so no... gta5 melee was better
@@SarahConnor618 the melee attacks was the same for all three characters in GTA V and u press one button for them to do the same combo. Gta IV u have more melee options and more counter animations
Miguel Frias nah you don’t look hard enough gta 5 has tons but people ignore them
Knees to the body, low blows, roundhouse kicks, devastating baseball bat to the head, stabs to the body - Niko had it all. GTA 5 has very few combat animations, even between all 3 characters, while GTA 4 has a lot for 1 character. GTA 4 wins.
Hopefully this gets remastered for the 10th anniversary.
Patrick Stephenson It's around the corner (next year)
Patrick Stephenson these bastards made it for xbox one
Sorry, it didn't get anything for the 10th anniversary. Just a boring update which changes the soundtracks of the game. That's it
NOPE.
Unfortunately,Rockstar games don't care about their old games and community now,only for GTA Online and Red Dead Online(And money of course ,but it's TakeTwo fault).Remastered version of GTA IV(and not only this GTA),best multiplayer ever made will never be exist in our time.
I have been playing this again like nonstop so... addictive.
Better than gta 5
Ichigo Kurosaki so nostalgic
Who's here after the GTA6 Release trailer 😂
W
Me lol
Me lmao
This video takes me back. This game was truly a staple in all of our gaming lives. We miss you Niko.
One of the best intros to a (legendary)game review I've ever seen. Peak IGN right here
Pretty well edited for sure
This video was the reason I bought a 360 and gta4 back in 2008.
I have no idea why I'm watching this in 2020
But ist cool...
This is the best game I’ve ever played
Yes!! Too me
Come on Moron!
Then u haven't played THE WITCHER 3
@@abhayprabhakar7752 The Witcher 3 is boring.
Legendary intro. I've always remembered this review because of it.
0:04 IGN should do something like this for the GTA 6 review whenever the game does come out
GTA 4 was the darkest game i’ve ever played. So hard to see things sometimes 😂
-Toby- I turned the brightness and saturation and stuff up
-Toby- lol
Try yakuza 0
Same lol
In 2018 I'm watching this trailer again, such a fantastic game.
One of the last games with which I could truly immerse myself into the world, great story, great music, great acting, great characters, great detail in almost everything, gritty feel to the city.
This game also had two fantastic DLC games which both were their own games and told their own stories whilst all connecting to each other and this game inadvertently became a period piece of the late 2000's.
I think if they had more intros like they did with this review, IGN wouldn't be so bad.
2023, 15 years later and this game still goes hard. 2008 was a different time.
People give this game shit just because it's not as "fun" to some people as San Andreas and GTA 5. The main story of this game was great and I can play this game 6 years after its release and still have fun beating the story mode (and I've beat the story at least 10 times).
I looove the intro of this video. Every now and then i return to watch it. I miss this times
this may be the greatest ign video oat. flashing lights and a gta review
This is still the greatest professional game review that IGN ever brought out
Never has a game left me feeling as empty as i had at the end of gta 4.
damn I remember reading about this game in a magazine before it came out time flys soo fast
Me too bro. It was crazy seeing a GTA with these graphics back then
Happy 11 years GTA IV, remember it like yesterday! ❤❤❤
2023 people make an attendance..
That intro with flash lights was superb
I miss this game so much. The greatest GTA ever in my opinion. The gta that brought me into the series. I wish i could play this right now but it's still not on the ps4
WHAT GTA SA THE GREATEST GTA OF ALL TIME
@@bryantduncan1741 GTA SA and IV are the 2 best GTA games
Dude yeah me too I got to get a ps5 to play gta 4 since my ps3 broke
4:00 "Gta 4 is one of the best games I've ever seen"
Niko getting coochie in the whip 😂💯
Better story than GTA V
👍
I'm saving this video to my playlist just because of that smooth cinematic movie intro!
