Video: 15 days in GTA IV's Liberty City
52
Time lapse videos were all the rage back in -- actually, we don't think they were ever rage caliber stuff, but in the case of this GTA IV video that shows 15 days go by Liberty City, it's at least reached "oh, that's neat!" territory. The video comes courtesy of DigitalFoundry (you can watch it over at Eurogamer) and reminds us just how much life there is in the virtual sand box, as cars drive along to their respective destinations, pedestrians shuffle about doing their own thing and, in the case of that one lady around the 32-second mark, loaf around the riverside all day and night. We just hope she's not doing what we think she's doing. It'd be such an unbecoming thing of the purest city in all of gaming, amirite?

Wow. Watching that vid really makes me wanna pop GTA IV back in my PS3. The only thing is, my important game data is saved on my 320GB HDD which I had to take out before sending my PS3 in to be eventually replaced. This external HDD enclosure I bought to try to pull my data off it is trying to force me to format the drive, first, before I can use it, which defeats the purpose.
Anyway, GTA IV is a masterpiece to me and it had me mesmerized when first playing through it. A part of it was because the attention to detail was impeccable plus I'm originally from Queens but have been all over the 5 boroughs so seeing all the landmarks and driving through bridges was like WHOA for me. I thought I was actually in NY when playing that game. I started my second go round a long time ago and would like to pickup where I left off but for shits and giggles, I'll just pop the game in even without being able to load my saved data. Can't wait for part V...or, hopefully, the DLC disc for the PS3 if the 360 exclusive isn't permanent.
