I do too. As a person who still plays GTA IV along with all its DLCS, this trailer is amazing. It captures the vast world of Libery City in such a creative way. It never fails to give me chills. It is such a shame when this trailer was made, Rockstar actually cared about their games. Now, Rockstar just milks GTA V, ruins great games and does not care about their players. GTA IV is without a doubt the *BEST* GTA game ever made!
I think this trailer is kind of an hidden message to understand. Every times when Niko changes his clothes, he comes back to his elder outfit, maybe it would say that despite Niko tries to change anything, his past is always behind him, ready to catch him again, and again...
Yeah, that's why I am so damn eager to play GTA 4, it has the best storyline for sure. (Fun fact: Niko is on the 13th place of the Guinness World record's top 50 best video game characters, while CJ is on 24th place or something) he is the only GTA protagonist who hates the criminal life, he and Vic Vance.
@@aielane5537I don't think CJ ever hated the criminal life. I think it was more that he wanted to make something of himself even within that life but Sweet kept pulling him back into the ghetto and Grove Street and he hated that.
GTA IV is a masterpiece, the sense of atmosphere of Liberty City is so unmatched , you genuinely feel like you’re in a massive city, the world feels so alive, Niko Bellic is my favorite GTA protagonist, he’s got so much emotional depth, and the story was also really good, classic by Rockstar Games 👏👏👏👏
man… how time flies. a part of me cannot believe this is already 12 yrs ago and as crazy as it sounds this decade it will turn 20 😮🥺. now i am 27 and still VERY connected (also psychologically) to like my late teens and such. to think that like my parents will be 70 in 13/14 yrs is just unimaginable. kids, i‘m telling ya, life‘s conception will flip real fast in those 25-40s i guess.
Never has a game generated so much hype for me as GTAIV after seeing this ad. I will never forget how shocked I was at looking at a game that at the time seemed photorealistic to me (especially if you had been playing San Andreas prior to IV's release).
I'm so using this as part of a GTA video I'm making, it's a fantastic advert, one of the best for a game. Also, 360p vs 720p, the difference is absolute madness. The 720p video is only 15 megabytes to download as well, tiny.
This is the very advert that made me hyped as fuck for GTA IV as an 8 year old, I remember that year my parents got me my first 360 GTA IV bundle and fuck that was the start of the most beautiful gaming life.
best ad for a game I've ever seen. shows a bunch of locales and hints at just enough to make you wonder- then it ends with Niko performing an act of grand theft auto. perfect!
Honestly knew this was a instant classic end of 7th grade middle school when first seen this commercial honestly when I first realized rockstar is on another level
I remember seeing this advert for the first time during half time of a football/soccer game. I was absolutely hyped , my dad who isn't much of a gamer was impressed, made a comment and jokingly said that he was going to "pinch my 360 to play the game"
I don’t think kids these days understand the hype around this game as a veteran gta player this was massive back then and still now I get chill remembering how it felt just imagining how the story would go
I remember being hyped about this trailer because they showed how realistic jacking a car was going to be. I remember going "we get to hot wire cars now! Its soo realistic!" 🤣 ... the car explosions looked insane back then also. Mind you, we was just coming from GTA SAN and the PSP games. This definitely was a step in a more realistic direction. This was the trailer that sold me, I mean I was sold already but this showed a bit of chaos. And Niko was well designed. I liked that. Good times, amazing game. 10/10.
This was when we knew gaming was going to be bigger than movies. COD 4 and Halo 3 had just come out and were known as the definitive installments of their franchises and then here came GTA 4. It still is in my opinion not only the definitive GTA but the definitive open world experience. Kids don’t know the the feeling and hype surrounding this game. Unreal.

still one of the best game commercials i've ever seen
There was some Eastern European guy making moves in Liberty City, but..., he went quiet.
The Hound I seriously had goosebumps when I heard it lol
I love references
@@weatherep0rt fucking same
Because the voice actor pissed off rockstar by demanding more money after he done his job
Tony Bone and tbh he deserves that
He did a pretty much of a good job❤️
I still come back to this after all these years
Yeah
Yep
Here I thought I was the only one

Didn't expect to see you here, legend ^ ^
As always, you're a man of culture
A game console for £159.99. The world certainly has changed
And Xbox 360s today are still quite expensive
u can get a 360 for 30 bucks or just emulate the game on android
@@Nexgeens what about series x bro
2008 - £159.99
2024 - £499.99
God I remember how hyped I was for this game. Came out when I was a Freshman in high school, nearly failed my finals because of the game.
How'd you do on the finals?
You still alive bro?
@@ihatelife5464 what makes you think he isn't?
He said he 'nearly failed', he wasn't 'failing'
Are you still winning?
0:13 just realized this is Eddie Low next to Niko in the sex shop. Creepy.
Yea l also noticed that maybe he was originally going to be friend like lil Jacob or packie mcreary
Eddie’s trying to get “sexy” lmfaooo

Hearing Get Innocious on the radio ingame reminds me of when this advert was all over TV, which makes me so nostalgic it hurts.
which station?
@@awii.neocities Radio Broker
It is existentially terrifying that this comment is 12 years old.
one of the greatest games of all time
If not the greatest honestly
I agree a 100% ❤
The Greatest
This was peak GTA era, my jaw dropped when I saw this on TV. Still the best GTA trailer for me.

W manz
Get Innocuous! - LCD Sound System, what a tune, this has become synonymous with the game in my opinion.
This trailer got me even more hyped for the game back in 08.
I remember this being on tv... i miss those days man. One of the best games ever made!!!! No cap.
If you remember seeing this on TV I'm sure you're too old to use this 'cap no cap' nonsense.

£159.99 for a console with a game?!
And when you put the disc in the game started right away. Happy fuckin days.
We didn't realise how good we had it then
That was Xbox 360 arcade price, afairc
Never has a game generated so much hype for me as GTAIV after seeing this ad.
I will never forget how shocked I was at looking at a game that at the time seemed photorealistic to me (especially if you had been playing San Andreas prior to IV's release).
That is a sexy ad. Playing with the cliché of the hero who always comes walking out of explosions and debris flying around 👌
Как по словам бати , тот добирался к школе.
Хотел бы как батя добираться тогда…
0:34 Niko, it's Roman! Let's go bowling.
I'm so using this as part of a GTA video I'm making, it's a fantastic advert, one of the best for a game. Also, 360p vs 720p, the difference is absolute madness. The 720p video is only 15 megabytes to download as well, tiny.
Omg i still remember watching this commercial in my tv back at 2008. Oh such good memories back then :,)
I remember watching this ad on German TV. Just turned 18 and built my own PC just to play this game. :D (Phenom 2 CPU, 4GB RAM, GTX 260)

This is the very advert that made me hyped as fuck for GTA IV as an 8 year old, I remember that year my parents got me my first 360 GTA IV bundle and fuck that was the start of the most beautiful gaming life.
That price for the absolute masterpiece and a console? Those were the good times…
best ad for a game I've ever seen. shows a bunch of locales and hints at just enough to make you wonder- then it ends with Niko performing an act of grand theft auto. perfect!
Watching GTA Series Video's GTA5 remake of this video reminded me of this.
Man, I was so hyped when I saw this trailer.
Hardest Gta trailer ever.....
bro has the coolest walk ever
Still goes hard
Masterclass in advertising
I would love to see a remaster of this
Definitely. Imagin this with the graphics of the PS5 but retaining this music... awesome!
Nico Belic is the man:)
There's so many cool shots of this game out there!
I literally have this in my head when im walking cuz of this trailer
Love this trailer. Well cut and a great music choice!
Best trailer ever. Best game ever. Perfect.
0:14 Beta Eddie Low
This game is HIGHLY deeper and stronger than GTA V, sorry but facts are facts.
i think it was aired worldwide because i'm from italy and i remember seeing this ad on Television
13 years my old boy :´)
Martes GTA 6
Best gta trailer of the series.
I was 7 when this advert was on tv and i remember it like yesterday 😥
In the loving memory of Niko Bellic.
They need to redo this trailer for gta 6
one of the best tv spot i've ever seen !
lcd sound systems - get innocious
thank you so much for the HD version, i was looking for it XD
*My dad explaining how he get to school:*
Underrated gta of all time
0:13 Eddie Low is visible behind Niko!
0:34 "Hey Niko! Want to go bowlin-"
They should have aired this in the US too
what is the music?
*Phone rings*
,,Hey Niko Lets go Bowling''
*Hang Up*
Honestly knew this was a instant classic end of 7th grade middle school when first seen this commercial honestly when I first realized rockstar is on another level
I remember this good times :)
it's always nice to see the classics, great trailer!
Yeah come to think of it I vaguely remember a trailer like this now, I think it had another song from the game on it though in the US
0:14 i have always wondered if Eddie Low was planned to have a more important role...
🤣 I love how he hangs up the phone, most likely on Roman.
"Hey NIKO its me your cos.."
*Click*
he gets angry too 💀
0:12 the machine gun matching with the drums in the song is so good
Saw this in 2008
Greatest game trailer ever.
0:36 No Roman I don’t want to go fucking 🎳!!!!!
shame we now see a fucking shark card advert instead of this
please tell me wats this song? love it on the game
a normal day in the life of Niko Bellic , shit happens.
Christ the hype this game made was insane, love this game
0:14 Eddie Low the serial killer
I remember seeing this advert for the first time during half time of a football/soccer game. I was absolutely hyped , my dad who isn't much of a gamer was impressed, made a comment and jokingly said that he was going to "pinch my 360 to play the game"
