06:11 I love how you accurately depicted cops not caring about NPCs crashing into them but will fight for their live once Niko slightly bumps their car.

When it started being Matrix 💀

I give my professional seal of approval for the professionalism logo on the police car

Really made GTA IV feel like an action packed short film. Love it

I knew Niko could fight but.. i didn't know he was Spider Man

i love how in some shots it’s literally recreated gta 4 physics

Anyone else got 2012 KZfaq vibes from this? So damn good. R.I.P. to Yeardly Diamond, who was a big part of my GTA entertainment during the hype days for GTA V.

Wtf? How did this guy do this? 😭 This is incredible 😂

this is like trying to explain what GTA 4 feels like to people

Haven't seen a GTA 4 animation of this quality since the Yeardley Diamond days of YT. Good stuff.

2:30 That trademark *"Niko"* walk and the casual shove to open the door then the sprinting is the _cleanest_ I've ever seen animated

Average GTA 5 mission: yoga, clicking pop-ups, buying boiler suits GTA 4:

this is what dreams feels like , this is the victory we longed for .

Lore-accurate Niko be like:

I've been dreaming of this type of replays of the missions you played in GTA. @rockstargames please make this type of series out of every mission you finished!

The fact that the NYC (or LC) traffic is choreographed alongside a tense car chase sets the bar really high.

6:13 the police ignoring npc's, becoming agressive the moment the player touched their car, and then running over civilians as it tries to persue the player, this is GTA in its purest form.

Holy shit, i mean Niko is confirmed to be the deadliest Protagonist with by far the most confirmed kills of any other GTA, but damn those moves were Spider-man or Matrix levels of acrobatics lol.

I am BAFFLED at how good this is. Most of the shots in the car chase looked like an actual live action film

This is better than 95% of the action movies out there lol, impressive work! GTA IV THE GOAT !!!

This dude just comes out of nowhere and drops this piece of art that will probably get up to a million views in the months to come.

This is unbelievable! I'd love to the behind the scenes, how you made it.

This is a cinematic masterpiece! How is no one talking about the sheer brilliance of this? This is exactly the kind of early 2000s action spy film-esque content I didn't know I needed in GTA IV form. My compliments to the chef! I must know how this was made.

7:42 it should be "LET'S GO BOWING COUSIN"

This feels like one of those scenarios I would dream up in my head as a kid but never had the means to be able to manifest it in real life Amazing work

I love the use of original GTA IV sound effects. The sound design of that game is so iconic. Also the part where the police get slammed by the enemies but start chasing Niko because he barely tapped their car was GOLDEN.

What’s blowing my mind is that you managed to use the GTA gun shot audio, running and door opening animations for Niko and the car physics while also rendering this in a separate program of some kind. It’s wild! Awesome job!

I don't think people are realising how much work was put into this. it's a studio level animation and the only thing separating it from a triple a job is slightly the graphics and the comedic style of it all. one was due to limitations from gta 4 textures and the other was intentional. i'm all happy for what we got but this must have taken more than a year to pull off if he was alone or with a few friends. did he get paid? was he hoping to get some worth from views? does he have a patreon or similar? what did he do all this on. there's way too much animation, cinematography and detail to be thrown for free as it means we won't get another. most of such level animations don't ever make it because of burnout or just lack of funding. great piece btw. laughing through and through. congrats on the skills and discipline to stick through it

this looks more realistic than real life

This is absolutely beautiful, I can't wait to see more. It's as if this game was a gonzo blockbuster. Could you do a Max Payne animation?

5:40 NFS MW moment.

So many of these shots were genuinely cinematic. I mean I was already impressed with the beginning segment but this just got better and better, the chase segment is easily my favorite it just has so many good shots that make it feel like a serious production. Like really well done not just from an animation standpoint, but from a cinematographic perspective in terms of getting the right shots and developing the sequences in a manner that looks nearly realistic as if though cameras were actually planted in specific places. I love those panning shots like when the bus hits the red car at 4:37 because it just changes the flow perfectly while still be harmonious with the movement, even as it follows up with the next shot which gives us another angle. Super well done.

Imagine a GTA4 remaster looking like this

This video was better shot than most action movies nowadays

This is incredible ! Insane attention to detail with the sounds, etc. This is awesome

That’s a true masterpiece! Looking forward to the next episode :)

this is genuinely one of the most impressive things I have seen on KZfaq its cool to see people still like gta 4

WHAT.... ONLY 3.5K VIEWS??? man this is amazing, the animations are so smooth and fluid, you really deserve more fame

what a god tier creation, i’ve been watching this for about a minute now and i already now this is one i’ll be remembering 10 years from now

please make a breakdown on how you created this! The animation, camerawork and rendering is INSANE!

Not only is this amazing visually and cinematically, but it's a fantastic culmination of elements from GTA IV, Half-Life 2, and Need For Speed: Carbon. Thank you so much.

This just proves the Half Life 2 soundtrack fits anything

Oh man. Absolutely incredible action and animation.

The quality, the action, the stunts, and the setting all matches with niko's vibe so good. I really enjoyed it man!! Thanks for making this amazing animation i am in love with your channel 👌

At first I thought, GTAIV with mods… excellent. Then I started questioning how you made this?! amazing work cousin

This is incredible. Hands down the greatest IV machinima I've ever watched, by far. There's so much details to appreciate, from the incredible hand to hand combat, to interacting with the liberty city map objects, furniture and architecture, makes it feel absolutely alive. I can't imagine how long it took you and I'd be really pleased to see how this was made. My guess is that it was mainly made in UE4, perhaps? I have so much questions, you earned a lifetime subscriber. And I really hope this reaches at least a million views, highly deserved!

Mate this is amazing! I was fully invested from the jump!

wtf this is way too good! amazing work!

this video doenst have the right to have only 5k views, it needs MORE AND MORE AND MORE FOR THE QUALITY!!

Nice inclusion of the NFS Carbon tuner theme!

This should get so many more views. I miss these types of vids. Good work

6:21 soo everyone is power sliding now. GOTCHAAAAA !!!!!!

This is insanely good. I can't even imagine how long it took to make this. I really appreciate the amount of destruction. Especially if you think about that a lot of used assets/props are not breakable in the original game at all. Such a shame to me that this video doesn't have more views. This is a masterpiece!

Car Chase scene reminds me of A Good Day to Die Hard and The Bourne Ultimatum

One of the best 7 minutes of my life, great work!

This is incredible. Great job recreating the physics.

This deserves millions of views. Hopefully it'll get pushed up the algorithm with all the GTA VI content

I don't think this video is getting the recognition that it deserves. The amount of attention to detail in this is applaudable. well done.

this is so cool man !!! appreciate the effort

Thank you for that legendary edit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 is done of all

Uh, this is amazing. Almost criminally underviewed like most of the hidden gems on KZfaq. You, fellow, have earned a subscription and my praise for your work.

You know its getting good when NFS Carbon soundtrack starts playing

This was ridiculously good, the car chase looked like something out of a real action movie, the camera work was top notch!

Man you did awesome pieco of work, very very impressive cut scenes, and attention to detail for car speeding and all of effects with person fights. 100%. Perfect.

Those HL2 musics brought back memories. Amazing job man!

I hope the algorithm pushes this video because this is incredibly well done. Like more well done than most action films.

Holy shit this is good! Everything about it! Long time since I've seen a vid on KZfaq that genuinely impress me.

Absolutely epic work. Subscribed. Can not wait for more ❤

7:33 Rip Niko Bellic

this is a MASTERPIECE! i love the graphics and the fact you used all the cars from gta 4, didnt expect to see Pinnacle or Fortune in here. i also love how everything is detailed, like at 4:26 we can see Oracle ramming the parked green Admiral, and Admiral's alarm goes off and the blinkers work too! even though we only see it for a second. the destruction of cars is really Matrix like, its like the gta 4 got remastered by R* and they updated the car crash system, fascinating! i laughed at the part when the phone came up after respawning at 7:40. i used to struggle a lot when playing gta 4 for the first time on my xbox 360 back in 2008, the sms sound used to haunt me when i was failing the missions. great job with the animation, looking forward to seeing you creating masterpieces!

The cinematic angles are amazingly good nice job, Niko could star in any role and make it look good. Him kicking the kitchen towel roll tho 🤣🤣

This is not an meme animation anymore, is a masterpiece, a movie.

This hs better editing, visuals and cinematography than most blockbuster action movies out there, very well done!

I... the weather, the character models, the ingame gun sounds, the ingame car sounds, the occasional man slaughter, the police, everything about this video is perfect.

I get Yeardly Diamond vibes from this. This kind of stuff really brings me back. Amazing job. I love this.

This masterpiece was better choreographed than most blockbuster movies. Please tell me theres a Patreon or something bro. WE NEED MORE OF THIS!

Top-notch AMAZING!!! Watching the whole animation in 7 minutes made my jaw drop.. I am looking forward to your other future animations, my dude, that's fucking spectacular 👌

6:10 I love how the cops didn't care until Niko tapped their car 😂

I am gobsmacked by the quality of direction. This was incredible. Let alone everything else. Wow, just become a film director. Props to everything else too - the details, the well timed dark comedy, the tech know how to get this to work. AAA work.

This is INSANE and I applaud the hard work!!!!! Subbed

Amazing editing and hilarious content, keep it up pal!

This is some really cool editing bro, nice work

Okay, that was insanely well directed....

This is what i thought GTA IV looked like when i was a kid

I can’t even imagine the amount of work the author did: mindblowing!!

This with the half life soundtrack goes nicer then I would expect.

This was seriously one of the best things I've ever watched, you earned a sub my friend. Please keep them coming. This was so high quality, my jaw dropped at multiple points.

Simply amazing, from the animation to the HL soundtrack.

This shit's so well shot dude! I'm glad GTA 4 Machinimas are still being made!

This was better than expected! Cant wait for your next masterpiece

Everything about this video is absolutely perfect. This is genuine art, the sound effects are my favorite thing about it, you absolutely nailed the GTA 4 atmosphere. I hope this blows up for you, top tier content! 👏 Also 1:26 was some of the funniest shit i've seen in a long time 🤣🤣

Definitely make a series of these.

This is the single best thing that I have seen all year, dude. Amazing work!

The sounds, the models, the mesh deformations, the police running over civilians and not caring about other npcs and spawning behind the camera, 7:21 the police cars staying on the road in a line formation... That's so accurate, what did you use to make this ? Did you extract every mesh from GTA IV ??

I have to say that was just brilliant! Well done!

It’s incredible how you recreated the rage physics, from the boaty car handling to the euphoria ragdoll. So much attention to detail

I loved every second of it. It perfectly captures the feeling of the game and improves it. Spectacular work.

Amazing work ! Can't stop thinking gta 6 would probably be that realistic like this. Except the cartoonish parts.

Incredible Video, also loved the inclusion of "Belt" from Need for Speed Carbon, keep it up

Incredible this is a masterpiece great job man 🔥🔥🔥
