Revisiting the greatest Grand Theft Auto game ever released, GTA 4. Thank you for watching, leave a like would you kindly? Socials x.com/Basement... #gta #gta4 #grandtheftauto
I worked for a company called Game in the UK when this launched. I had to be informing parents on what they were buying, all while little timmy stood and looked at me with nothing but hatred.
my great grandma bought me gta 5 on release day at game, early Christmas present in September (lmao) and she didn’t have a clue what it was, as the guy behind the counter kept telling her this wasn’t a game for kids and she shouldn’t be buying it, I told her there wasn’t anything bad in the game. a week later she calls my mom and tells her that there’s “bloody prostitutes and guns and violence”. gahhh I wish I was ten years old again 😢
I remember rushing home from school to watch the first trailer for gta 4. I don’t remember if it was on G4 or UA-cam. I was a freshman in high school. Just got off the bus, ran down stairs to watch this on our brand new 32 in Samsung lcd 720p tv we got on Black Friday for like $400. And I was blown away at the graphics, the detail, the setting. I was immediately hooked. I believe it was the first gta game I ever beat. I loved it. Miss this times so much!!!
I feel like channels fail to highlight how phenomenal the bullet holes were in GTA 4. Loved how you could spray a car and they would stay unlike what we had before 2007.
I wish Sony would give us a proper backwards compatible console instead... but yeah, at this point a remaster of this game would be nice. Especially the entire trilogy on one cd
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 xbox is better than gaystation i play gta 4 alot of xbox one do your research and youll finally know the true facts xbox is just better in every single way....
GTA IV, GTA III, and Vice City are my favorite Grand Theft Auto games. Yes I've played the Stories games and the birds-eye view games, even GTA IV Java and GTA 1 and 2 Game Boy Color, not on original hardware though. A video you might want to do in the future is showing your video game collection
I remember getting this the day it came out here in Ireland and I played it so long in one sitting that I got a crick in my neck and couldn't go into school for several days and then when I came back to school they were all making fun of me saying I just took all the days off to play it.
GTA is supposed to be hard. It has to be hard to drive, it has to be hard to shoot, you need to master parkour to catch the other guy - thats the beauty. Because your skill training is the captive part which brings you back again and again. GTA 6 is most probably going to be a arcade controls style cash cow and we will witness the downfall of the gaming industry leader.
I got a glitch when I was 60 something % through the game where I'd never get the next phone call to give me the next mission so I dropped the game. It's pretty cool though
The 3 smartest, most immersive, detailed, alive, realistic yet artistic games ever: 1) The Last Express (1997) 2) Rollercoaster Tycoon (1999) 3) Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
gta 4 works good on my steam deck after my pc kick the bucket, would play on that for sure over the console port with old textures. on pc/steam deck it at lease looks like a 2014 game.
My biggest problem with this game was the fact the camera turns after the car turns, running you head on into traffic, unless you manually turn the camera with the car, which gets real tedious when you have to cross the city or are trying to escape cops. Other than that, it is the best one so far.
and still those fools on R haven't remastered it. You really have to connect a PC with a late GPU to a 4K TV and play it....It's absolutely amazing game. Great review my friend, you earned a sub!
@@alkhoaja I still remember the first time I drove into a pedestrian carrying a brown paper bag of groceries and the groceries flew out of the bag! And when I drove into a wall by accident and couldn't back up because Nico flew through the windshield lol.
@@Mark-qj5kp I never knew pedestrians carry groceries in GTA 4! I knew in GTA 5 that pedestrians would carry cups of coffee or something but that’s just next level lol.
"GTA 4 was repetitive." Like basically every other GTA game let's be honest. Drive, kill, etc. GTA 4 is just the more mature GTA with the most believable characters. You're not pulling off cartoonish Saints Row style heists like in GTA 5.
Ahhh man! This was Gr.9 for me lmao I've grown to love this even more over the years, we'll see what GTA 6 has for us but for now 4 has to be the best one😎🍻🍺
For anyone that didn't play 3, then Vice City, then San Andreas when they came out it is hard to understand just how much of a leap SA was and how much it blew everyone away. It's funny because I remember IGN giving it 9.9/10 because they were so reluctant to give anything 10/10. Now they hand em out like, well like leave the analogys to this guy.
Yep. To be unbias San Andreas is the absolute best. Even though my personal favorite is Liberty City Stories and for two reasons: 1) its time setting(I love the late 90's to late 2000's). 2) It has the best type of gameplay. GTA 3 and GTA 4 also takes place in that era that I love, but GTA 3 suffers from a few outdated game mechanics and with a lousy soundtrack. And GTA 4 feels so heavy that it makes you feel you're under water.
@@TheTruth-hd1pu true was the youtube why gta 4 better then 5 you cant even enter buildings pick things up or eat anything in gta 5 like you can in 4 everything in 5 is sad dressing empty shell.
and who tf cares if you can pick up objects from the ground in Gta 4? That feature is so small and minor and not a real main mechanic in the game. The only time that mechanic is seen is when you have to do it in one mission and after that mission is done it makes the function of that game mechanic useless. Gta 5 improved in most aspects from Gta 4. The blinded nostalgia you have is crazy. Gta 4 was already a downgrade from Gta San Andreas so I don't see it touching Gta 5 when it comes to the main concept of the game.
Damn I have been waiting for my favourite coolest youtuber to AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS GAME IS THE GREATEST. Kids today cannot know how burried with gta4 videos youtube was in 2007-2008
There will NEVER be as big of a leap in graphics/gameplay/physics quality as it was from San Andreas to GTA IV. Never. GTA IV on PC at max graphics and high resolution still holds up against any modern game. It even beats many of them in many aspects. Prove me wrong!
I personally believe GTA 4 is the best in the series. It was such a leap forward gameplay and presentation wise. I really wish Xbox had an upgrade through backwards compatibility to upscale the game. It looks good but could look so much better.
A lot of Xbox 360 and PS3 games are in SD and get upscaled to 720p if I remember correct and only a few are true 720p or 1080p. Back then they still looked good. But next to PS4 and Xbox One you can tell the HD from those consoles are better.
Absolutely not. Aside from the good story, GTA IV was complete ass. The driving mechanics are the worst in any GTA game, every single vehicle handles like you’re steering a boat. And instead of expanding the horizon on next gen hardware, there’s actually less to do than San Andreas! Liberty City is also a boring grey setting as lame as the city it’s based on.
The gta4 fan base it’s too annoying at this point it’s really starting to make me thing gta5 is a bad game but both games have issues at the end of the day
I like 1st 3 the most even if they feel dated. The nostalgia with GTA 3 and especially Vice city is strong so they'll always be my favorites. They were the most charming and the most creative and fun. For whatever reason I didn't seem to enjoy 4 and 5 as much. I do hear a lot of people say GTA 4 was better in terms of gameplay, grit, atmosphere and story. I think I'll pick it up for Series X and play through it again.
One GTA that I also liked a lot was GTA Liberty city stories mainly because I enjoyed playing as Toni Cipriani I thought it was cool he felt more like a bad ass character out of Goodfellas.
I do see a lot of people heralding GTA 4 as the greatest one ever these days. It's interesting because I never see people claiming that 5 is better than 4, but then again that would clearly be like going out of your way to tell others that the sky is blue and therefore not worth the effort. Muh story tho! You know, the thing that every normal person buys GTA for instead of the game part of the game.
Id love a definitive edition of the 3 storylines of gta4 😢 I must be able to buy it b4 i die. Please, Rockstar...PLEASSSSSE!?! *Edit- Id settle for a simple ps5 port 🙏
"The greatest GTA game ever" Only 2 years ago I would have disagreed with you, brother, but today I'm enlightened. GTA IV is INCREDIBLY satisfying and a revelation story-wise.
Best way to describe this game with be, powerful. The dreary atmosphere of liberty city, the physics, the storyline, the music, driving, fighting, shooting… it all felt powerful. When you shot your pistol at someone, you felt it. Every punch you threw, you felt it. Every car crash you got into, it felt brutal. The story is an emotional rollercoaster, with a comedic touch. Niko is honestly my favourite protagonist, he feels authentic compared to the other GTA characters. He’s a bit of a serious character but he does have his funny side. Funny after all these years we come to realize that it’s this game that could be up there on the above of GTA’s lists. It’s my top one for now.
There's more to a GTA than stupid unrealistic ragedoll physics that launches you to space every f**king second you barely hit another vehicle. GTA has always been about the story, missions, open world exploration, side activities and music and GTA 4 fails heavily in all of these categories. The story is easily not the best in the franchise and totally contradicts the gameplay. You have niko whyning about how America is bad and his home country paradise all the time. "I don't want to kill people," buh he ends up shooting a guy for trying to date his cousins girlfriend. The missions are easily the worst in the franchise. Even GTA 3 had more variety like breaking a guy out of prison, bombing that ship and many more. Here it's all, go to point A, shootout, Rinse and Repeat. The open world is so lifeless and empty and the black and white filter does it more harm than good. You don't need a stupid filter to tell us the world is dark and gritty. The world has almost no side activity, just bowling bowling bowling. By the end of the game you end up with so much money but can't do anything with all of it. Easily not TOP 3 GTA
*Niko Bellic is one of the best developed (GTA) characters, inspired by the fictional character of Sasha Ivanic (from the movie "Behind the enemy lines") and it also looks that He was created to some extent to resemble Boško Radonjić also known as "The Yugo" , a real life Serbian immigrant criminal that was operating in New York in the '70s ,and Boris Mikhailovich Nayfeld* *His arrival by the boat in LC kinda reminds of the arrival of Antonio Montana in the movie SCARFACE.* *One more fun fact, Grand Theft Auto Vice City stories plot is also more adult , tragic , showing that the life of a criminal can have damaging consequences* *Also let's not forget 'bout the two additional protagonists from the EFLC plots , Johnny Klebitz bears some similarities with the Protagonist of The Sons of Anarchy which is Jackson 'Jax' Teller and with the /real life/ Sonny Barger , on the other hand Luis Lopez bears similarities to Peoples Hernandez from Shaft and /real life/ Amado Carrillo Fuentes* *I've found another fun fact , it turns out that there was a Restaurant , night club and ...Cabaret in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach Ave...which was owned by a Russian Mobster, 'twas known as the Odessa* *The relationship 'tween Trey Stewart & Dwayne Forge looks strikingly similar to the real life Harlem Kingpins : Alpo Martinez & Rich Porter ,also depicted in the film Paid In Full*
Maturing is realizing GTA IV is wayy better than GTA 5, and that's not even including the DLC expansions which were Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost and Damned.
GTA 4 is my least favorite in the series. The driving was so floaty it just killed it for me. I can’t play a game where driving is a huge part of the gameplay and yet it’s so bad……
Yet it is so realistic and challenging*, you mean. Takes some time to master the driving in this game, but when you do, I cannot explain the satisfaction you feel when you rip through traffic with some outta this world stunts in the process. It becomes one of those "wish someone could see this" moments. But then I remember, there is an option to record gameplay as well. Just find a sports car in the game. they handle awesomely. Which is my point of saying it is realistc. Generally, most video games make you feel like regular civilian cars can be easily driven aggressively in real life... They cannot. sports cars are there for maximum grip, stiff suspension, low level of rolling, good stopping power etc. It applies to both this game and real life. So I am not saying you got skill issues, I think you misunderstood which philosophy of driving the game wants you to master. Cheers
Absolutely right, GTA 5 was a disappointment and San Andreas was great but 4 was solid in every factor and it had the best story, characters, and world
@@TheTruth-hd1pu Was hyped to get it on PS3 and apart from Trevor and a couple songs, it wasn't good Maybe I'll replay it one day begrudgingly and then go back to GTA 4 lol (maybe it has to be modded to be any good)
This is the one I missed playing as a kid. For me, it's incredibly bleak and gray looking. I've tried probably 10x to get into it, even on my series x. But they game just looks absolutely terrible. Gta 3 looks better.
To this day is the best GTA in the series. Just think about "07 we had games like Bioshock, Portal 2, COD Modern Warfare, Half Life Episode 2 and GTA IV still made its mark in a great year for gaming.
I’m a simple man, I see a video on GTA IV and I watch. One of my favorite games of all time and best soundtrack, don’t @ me.
Sanandreas has the best soundtrack ...
VC definitely has

*Also let's not forget 'bout the two additional protagonists from the EFLC plots , Johnny Klebitz bears some similarities with the Protagonist of The Sons of Anarchy which is Jackson 'Jax' Teller and with the /real life/ Sonny Barger , on the other hand Luis Lopez bears similarities to Peoples Hernandez from Shaft and /real life/ Amado Carrillo Fuentes*
*I've found another fun fact , it turns out that there was a Restaurant , night club and ...Cabaret in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach Ave...which was owned by a Russian Mobster, 'twas known as the Odessa*
*The relationship 'tween Trey Stewart & Dwayne Forge looks strikingly similar to the real life Harlem Kingpins : Alpo Martinez & Rich Porter ,also depicted in the film Paid In Full*
You are correct
2nd best since nothing beats San Andreas when it comes to fun. When it comes to storytelling def the best at that.
VC is more fun than SA in my op
Definitely a top 5 game, at least with GTA
I hope you make a video about WATCH DOGS 2
this game is literally just a driving simulator
Maturing is realizing GTA IV is wayy better than GTA 5, and that's not even including the DLC expansions which were Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost and Damned.
The DLCs aren't as good tbh
I've always thought IV was better.
Wake up to reality
@@iammiller5478 I'm in reality
@@My_Old_YT_Account yes they definitely are good, especially ballad of gay Tony.
BASED.
On a true story.
The weighty car and gun physics were the best in this one.
You mean the worst of any GTA game.
Red dead redemption is the best game series from rockstar
No truer statement has ever been made.
Rdr2 sucks 😅 beat it never touched it afterwards
There’s only 2 mainline games lol
Nah GTA is for sure.
@@Catdude1991Literally the most overrated game of all time imo.
Play this on Xbox Series X and it runs at 60fps
How many times go to Roman..
Greatest Rockstar game ever made*
Playing iv on the regular best game ever made also the warriors beat too 😂
GTA 4 is my least favorite in the series. The driving was so floaty it just killed it for me. I can’t play a game where driving is a huge part of the gameplay and yet it’s so bad……
Yet it is so realistic and challenging*, you mean. Takes some time to master the driving in this game, but when you do, I cannot explain the satisfaction you feel when you rip through traffic with some outta this world stunts in the process. It becomes one of those "wish someone could see this" moments. But then I remember, there is an option to record gameplay as well. Just find a sports car in the game. they handle awesomely. Which is my point of saying it is realistc. Generally, most video games make you feel like regular civilian cars can be easily driven aggressively in real life... They cannot. sports cars are there for maximum grip, stiff suspension, low level of rolling, good stopping power etc. It applies to both this game and real life. So I am not saying you got skill issues, I think you misunderstood which philosophy of driving the game wants you to master. Cheers
I think the game makes you trying to master at the driving
I remember it being really boring and poorly optimized.
Absolutely right, GTA 5 was a disappointment and San Andreas was great but 4 was solid in every factor and it had the best story, characters, and world
You need serious help
POV: I never played GTA 5
@@TheTruth-hd1pu Was hyped to get it on PS3 and apart from Trevor and a couple songs, it wasn't good
Maybe I'll replay it one day begrudgingly and then go back to GTA 4 lol (maybe it has to be modded to be any good)
This game goes hard
It's not. I like the vibes, the characters, but the game as a whole gets really dull after a while.
This is the one I missed playing as a kid. For me, it's incredibly bleak and gray looking. I've tried probably 10x to get into it, even on my series x. But they game just looks absolutely terrible. Gta 3 looks better.
Tbogt is more colorful
THE BEST GAME*
I have a question does xbox make you get no sleep cause you look very tired my good sir
U are Niko Belić correct?
But this is the best gta game
😎
womp womp san andreas better
Easily not
To this day is the best GTA in the series. Just think about "07 we had games like Bioshock, Portal 2, COD Modern Warfare, Half Life Episode 2 and GTA IV still made its mark in a great year for gaming.
