GTA IV definitely has the most diverse radio station choices when it comes to the entirety of GTA games.

11:15 I think the main reason why MGS4 is still a PS3 exclusive is probably because of the iPod feature, a PS3 and PSP console easter egg in the briefing scenes when controlling the MKII, even Otacon mentions that they're on a PS3 where the game is running on a Blu-ray disc when returning to Shadow Moses, that's my guess

[@xXxKAMIKAZExXx]

I belive the games between III and IV were given titles because they were prequels and didn't release with the same date as the game's story. For example, GTA III was released in 2001 and took place then; GTA IV in 2008; GTA V in 2013 and so on.

Old music on Vladivostok FM wasn't just a random pick of catchy song, most (or all of them, don't quite remember now) are featured in Russian movies "Brother" and "Brother 2", which Rockstar took some inspiration from. So, they being replaced is a big deal, new songs R* put in a game is meh at best.

Yes, exactly, good knowledge.

[@blakegriplingph]

Given how GTA VC started out as an expansion pack for GTA 3, it isn't surprising that the map was rushed to meet deadlines. Also, Rockstar purposely left Niko's nationality ambiguous and just described him and Roman as coming from a broken-down area in Eastern Europe. They do speak Serbian but R* did not confirm that Niko was from the former Yugoslavia for some reason. Vladimir Mashkov claimed in an interview on Russian TV that he was approached to audition for a role on a then-undisclosed project but turned it down. I imagine if R* did cast him it wouldn't have aged well given Mashkov's support for the Ukraine conflict and how his daughter basically disowned him for that statement.

if GTA IV was a PS3 exclusive, it would have significantly impacted the sales of the Xbox 360, even if the Xbox was a slightly better console, the impact of GTA IV was massive in 2008, and it's the kind of game that makes you want to buy a new console.

@@heckermix9250 I know what the guy meant, there was a person who said it isn't true for GTA 2 but that isn't a roman numeral - he must have deleted his comment out of embarrassment I guess

[@CyanRooper]

I think it would be more accurate to say that every GTA game with a number in the title (so far) has always been set in the present day: the "present day" being whatever year the game was released in. Like, GTA IV was originally supposed to come out in 2007 and the development of the game took place from 2005 to 2008 (if we count the delays) so it would be more accurate to say that GTA IV is set in a fictional version of mid 2000s New York instead of saying that GTA IV is meant to look and feel EXACTLY like how New York was like in 2008 specifically.

Thank god GTA IV wasn't ever a console exclusive, EFLC aside for the first year or so. With the latest mods in PC it's becoming a much better experience than in consoles even.

You can even have the secondary dialoges of the missions play as main dialogue, on your first attempt of the missions.
