    I made a slight error in this upload. Apparently call number 4. "Vlad's Car" is actually NOT an unused phone call. Additionally, call number 28. “Failing Luck of the Irish” is also NOT an unused phone call. Sorry for the misinformation.

    Great video! My guess as to why alot of these were cut were simply because they didn't want the player having to answer their phone constantly, kind of balancing act between keeping immersion and world building while also letting players goof around without being bugged by phone calls. Some of these absolutely should've been in the game though.

    These phone calls are so cool because it's a very interesting way of inadvertently giving additional context to things without Rockstar just being blatantly obvious. I agree, a lot of the phone calls around Malorie and Roman's relationship should've been kept in, especially since they kept the whole 'Malorie cheating on Roman' bit in the game. Also since Michelle is a fed, additional phone calls like this would've been a great addition to fill her character out a bit more.

    • @NotAJ
      @NotAJ  Рік тому +5

      I agree with you wholeheartedly. As a matter of fact, I was even saying in the video that keeping these phone calls would've added so much more context to the storyline. Each phone call added would've spiced things up even more. It made the beginning cutscenes of "Uncle Vlad", "Buoy's Ahoy", "Babysitting", "The Snow Storm", etc. make so much more sense.

      First and foremost, thank you for the kind words and for the great feedback! The people to thank for those graphics and visuals are specifically the iCEnhancer and RevIVe team. They genuinely work hard to try to make this look as great as possible, as you can see. Secondly, I agree, and I have actually tried to reach out to some modders about it. From what I understand, this is seems egregiously difficult only because a lot of scripting has to be played with in terms of the phone calls. The dialogue being added or removed, or even altered, is easy. But with the phone calls, it might pose a much more difficult problem than it would be normally with dialogue. But hey! Modders and teams have made various fixes for this game, let's see if someone can, by some miracle, figure this out easily.

    1:02:57 There is a reason why Dimitri Rascalov sending Wedding Assassin (Henchmen) to kill Roman Bellic at the wedding. The reason is that Niko Bellic changed his mind after the If The Price Is Right mission. Niko Bellic said: "They might want to make different decisions. Enjoy your life, I don't want nothing more to do with you." That's why, Dimitri Rascalov was very angry & annoyed because Niko Bellic changed his mind so he sending Dimitri Rascalov's Henchmen (Wedding Assassin) to kill Roman Bellic at Roman Bellic & Mallorie Bellic's wedding.

      You have a very valid point about Dimitri's motive to go after Niko at the wedding. He doesn't really care for Niko other than the money that he could make. So for Niko to change his mind, rightfully so, would anger Dimitri in the interest of money (since he's losing it).

    i think the decision to make some missions available depending of the time was scrapped after the voice recording sessions for the game were done, that's why Dimitri's text message in The Master and the Molotov was probably a last minute decision
    also the phone calls where some characters are asking Niko if they have finished the mission and Niko tells them that not yet, I think the point of these calls were made so if the player happens to call the character that gave them the mission while the mission wasn't finished yet these phone calls will happen, just to add a bit more of realism I guess

However, the V3 version of the phone call would've been a great choice. Maybe the text message conveys Dimitri's ability to not accept the decision he has made more than if he was to verbally confirm it with a phone call.

    On the cut Dimitri call, my guess as to why he didn't call Niko after the deal was that he was assuming that he and Phil were dead. When Pegorino started talking about it going well, he likely decided to have the assassin go to the wedding to make sure the job was done right, at least in his eyes, since he must have realized that he messed up by calling Niko before he went inside.

    I think I understand why the phone calls from #12 Crime and Punishment were removed. We just got to meet Dimitri for the first time and he is depicted as the good cop to Faustin's bad cop. He is the one who promises he'll look after Roman after Faustin shoots him and will get him to a doctor. I think the devs wanted us to have a positive first impression of him which is further emphasized over the course of the next few missions where Faustin is depicted as a maniac while Dimitri is trying to reign him in. All that would have been undercut if Dimitri kept calling to threaten Roman's life.

    In GTA IV you can argue you could have more playing time but let's be honest when I played the game for the first time I could undesrtand reason behind taking the car to the carwash but we play as Niko and you want to find your way in Liberty City, so there is no reason for me to care about that things at that point but when you finish the game and you know how your decisions had ended up to that mess you take care.

      @@NotAJ yeah that can be very informative for people who are interested in looking into game's files and look at unused content

    It’s like I learn something new every year about my favorite GTA 😊 so much unused content I wonder if there’s any unused calls from tbogt or tlad? Either way, nice vid!!

      Don’t we all? It’s such an amazing game with so many details yet to be discovered ❤️ Thanks for the kind words! And yes, I believe there is, in which I’ll make a video on them!

    To think this game was a masterpiece because of freedom decisions to do on missions just imagine how if the game came out in full it might've actually beaten SA sales and gotten more popularity such a shame but GTA 6 is their last chance.

    14:48 Niko actually put Fausin down on that one. A lot of the cut calls show how pathetic Faustin has become. The main game cutting them makes him seem more powerful than he really is.
