Its a great game but it was a bad pc port. The technical issues are the problem for me

[@JackBuckeye]

10:51 One important detail that was left out was that the Hot Coffee minigame was unused, and was only accessible if you hacked the game. It was also (to my knowledge) in the game at launch, and wasn’t discovered until later.

Man, I love your animations. Sometimes it can be hard because you don’t know what to make evolution video on.

[@niveke]

I think in terms oh physics and graphics, GTA 4 was WAYYY ahead of its time and still one of the best in the series.

[@wfanking1187]

not really games with better graphics came out in 2006, Fallout 3 in 2008 was way better game that year, and what physics? hanging mid air so long after a rocket shot and regular cars feeling heavy like ton carrier trucks? only kids who don't have irl driving license say so, and btw played every single GTA since GTA 2 in 1999

[@brandonperez8977]

5:04 most of the GTA Community misunderstood this Claude with the other one from GTA 2 for having the same name and looks but unfortunately, the GTA III Claude didn't had a name until GTA SA and the developers didn't have time to give Claude a personality because they were having some problem coding a in-game voice for him and had to scrap it for that. 10:50 there's even another fun fact about the GTA controversies. The game were banned in Japan for the violence the game had and Rockstar had to censor everything in a very strange way to be release it officially and being published by Capcom 13:56 the map was originally bigger than the final release, the problem was the game was made with a different game engine before having the RAGE engine which the developers had to start all over there and got delayed and the underwater feature was going to be included as well. 14:36 actually there is a few missions that involves the after story of the game where you play as one of the goons of Kenny Petrovic where he make his first and only appearance when Mikhail and Dimitri mentions him in the story. 15:35 you forgot something funny that Rockstar did in GTA IV and especially GTA: Chinatown Wars. Where they make fun of Jack Thompson after he failed suing them a lot. Tom Goldberg is based of Jack where he'll use his line when you pull out a gun in front of him. and they once mocks at him on a generic junk mail in Chinatown Wars

[@Dave_Albright]

it's not true that GTA IV began with a diffrent engine. GTA IV was build entirely in RAGE.

[@DanielAlvarez-yw4qx]

Awesome video!! ✌️

Hey Flatlife, Please Make An Evolution Video On The Hitman Franchise. Would Love To See You Explain Everything In Detail🙏🏻 Love The Video BTW ❤

[@dorugorgan5627]

"Well, look who's back!" I really looked 💀

[@tp_exe]

9:09 Back in days, San Andreas felt like a whole country! As a grew up I understood why, its because of various distinct weathers of different areas. Like how bone county is different from Red County. Similarly the fog made it look HUGE! The variation like desert, water, bridges, mountains, flat land, cities and small towns gave an impression of an actual state..... [Unlike gta 5 which has only 1 big cities and only 2 towns]

[@rcpolygons]

Yesssssss, another video. Woooo

Fun Fact, Devs started moving forward with the GTA concept because of a glitch in Race and Chase

[@victorrodriguez3171]

I have a question for you can you do make evolution of Donald Douglas?

[@christianloubardias6375]

Here's something that might shock you all. When the first 2 GTA games were released, Rockstar paid developers to give it bad reviews to give it a great deal of publicity, and it paid off

[@ChristopherCassis]

Say hello to my little friend💀 Explosive

[@supermegabenji1026]

Rockstar was True. A Big Controversy really sounds like a Promotion for the Game. Since people kept on Talking about the Game being Violent which Made People "Check" the game out.

[@UseCodePearInTheFNItemShop]

I watched this 5 hours ago why am I watching it again

[@prokitkat9256]

We got evolution gta before gta6

[@quiana10030]

I would love a sims evolution vid

[@Lucky2000Zx]

Not bad my friend you nearly covered every game minus London 1961 which to be fair to is usually forgotten and is more or less the same as London 1969

[@wfanking1187]

London 61 was smaller but in terms of difficulty the hardest GTA ever made
