GTA4 in the wild - first gameplay videos

The production values are fantastic.

I wonder why the guy removed the video? Trying to save his account? Going to put up some more? Hopefully.
 
Good stuff. Hope not all cars are as slippery though

And the car camera seemed a bit off, though it could just be the angle of the footage
 
Looking at the intro you'd have to be a pretty bad parent to let an underage kid play this if the first 10 seconds are anything to go buy.
 
F*CK! I CAVED!

Oh and at the person saying that the streets look empty: maybe it's because of the fact that the gameplay vid took place at night? Or is just as busy in the streets at night as at day where you live?
 
2 things-

1 - the car appears to have no weight,just like the old games, I hope this is the camera and a shitty driver that makes this appear so.

2 - if I loved niko anymore after watching this video, I'd be a gaymer!


fuck. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

I almost caved but came to my senses right when I saw the title screen pop up. I just can't ruin this for myself. ARRRRGHHH I want to see it sooo bad!!!

I always liked how GTA cars handled TBH
 
Man, they really nailed the sense of Liberty City being this alien kind of place to Niko. Just in the dialogue, the atmosphere. Just marvelous.

Wow.

The mood is just beyond.
They nailed it.
Feels totally unique as well.

Yes, exactly.

I thought the physics and handling during driving were supposed to be better. That just looked horrible, way worse than previous games.

THERE ARE OTHER CARS IN THE GAME

I was hoping you would watch because I knew it would be something that you could appreciate.

Edit: More videos popping up!

Holy shit. :lol

That would be the best sequence ever. You're dropped into five minutes of Roman's ultimate fantasy. Unlimited ammo and weapons, every second storefront is a strip club, you've got a Lambo and the cops are on Vespas.

And then randomly it just cuts back to Roman in close up, and Niko's like "'Ey!! Kahsin!!"

"Ehhh...what? Sahry, Niko. I was miles away."
 
Copy&paste what I've posted in the official thread.

Skpped most of the intro, didn't want to spoil that. The car driving gameplay - fuck it was dissapointing. Not the gfx ofcourse, way to shitty quality, but how it moved. It looked like..."old stuff".

I see the retarded, fixed camera while driving is still in place. I actually want to know where I'm going when I take a turn without having to guide camera with the second stick!

Hmm...

For comparison purposes, here is a vid of driving in Saints Row:

To me, the camera in that GTA IV footage looks kind of slow when it follows the car around turns.
I don't think he is turning the camera while taking turns, which was always necessary in GTA games.
The turn in which he crashes the car, you can tell he moves the camera there at the last moment.

That video just illustrates how amazing GTAIV looks. Thanks

This was the point of my post
