Beta Details in GTA IV's First Trailer - Spot the Beta Differences!

[mazda]

One thing you gotta love about Rockstar games:
The trailers often come out so long before the actual game's release that the final product ends up looking significantly better than the one originally advertised (quite the opposite from other video game publishers out there)

The fact this game feels so alive 12 years later is just a testament to how monumental this game is.
A true game changer.

I like Niko's beta hair model, it's a shame that barbershops were cut.

My favourite GTA YouTuber. No clickbait shite, no repeating yourself. Need more beta, analysis videos during the lockdown

I'd love to see this comparison done with other GTAs, especially V. A BUNCH of stuff changed from the trailer to the final version

They should've left the gloves on niko

Trains going the wrong way was likely an oversight on the UK team's part at Rockstar North. Here all vehicles travel on the left hand side.

I always found this game interesting just because I visited NYC back in late 2006, so it kinda had the same vibe coming out in 2008. It's honestly like a relic with the old phone models and all that.

when you said "the first trailer was revealed 13 years ago"




I almost had a heart attack :/

Actually, seagulls do fly around at the Alderney docks and the ferry terminal just like the trailer

Mafia II getting a remaster, Mafia I a full remake...I wish we could get the same treatment for GTA 4 (and maybe Vice City)!

Wow I've been planning on making this video for a long time haha, left it too long it seems. I think you did a better job than I could have done though, amazing content.

Never even realized it until now but the billboard in the beta that has the Dead Weapons ad on it is the same exact John Wu looking dude with an X that they use in the picture in GTAV's 'loud' option for the jewelry store heist.

My favourite GTA. I love the atmosphere. Also the alleyways in GTA IV looks really ghetto with all the graffiti, dumpster and trash all over the place this is another thing I like about it! It reminds me of Manhunt.

I love this type of videos showing beta vs final or just spot beta differences, they are awesome, congrats for the video! +1

7:55 I always liked his beta hairstyle more
since the modeled was inspired by Sasha from "Behind Enemy Lines " (a war movie from 2001) and the actor had messy hair too

[lowpolygangster]

I like the beta haircut fits with the artwork and looks more like sasha from Behind Enemies Lines.

I believe there is another difference in Niko’s famous monologue, when he says, *_“Life is complicated. I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different.”_*

The first part of the line is well known and it’s used in the main game during the mission Rigged to Blow when he is talking to Ilyena Faustin.

However, the line *_“Perhaps here, things will be different, ”_* which actually is the title of the very trailer, I believe it is not used anywhere else in the game. At least it’s clear it’s not used alongside together with that line.

However, a slightly modified version of that line may appear when Niko is dating with Michelle, where he may say, “Maybe here, things will be different, ” albeit in very different tone and style.

The rear design of the Merit looks like a 1996 Honda Accord, but everyone sees things differently I suppose.

Beta hair is still in the game. You could have it with Trainer. I liked how traffic lights also had street name signs
