GTAIII originally known as GTA3D is entirely built on RenderWare engine and developed by DMA Design is the best game made in the whole GTA series. GTAIV absolutely has nothing to go with it except Liberty City, which was completely rebuilt (it used 0.000% of GTA3 content). GTA VC was cool, but not really good atmosphere. SA sucked hard honestly, being all about gangsters. IV's physics werent any good either, too surrealistic, especially ragdolls.. when hit by car you fly like muppet in zero gravity, Dykemann explained that well. And V... just another RAGE game, only good seeing of new cars, but still can't beat GTA3. Problem?
That's my opinion.
I'm not going to lie, the physics in IV are much better when compared to any of the GTAIII era games, so far probably the best of the series seeing as V isn't out yet. Now when we view the technical points, GTA IV probably wins by a long shot. Though, in the terms of gameplay, IV is on pretty weak. However, multiplayer and mods for PC do make it last for longer.
Myself, I can't but enjoy the living, breathing city Rockstar had created for IV. The amount of details in the city was absolutely amazing, and the peds that populate it. The way they do a lot of stuff when just minding their own business and all, there's a lot to see what's happening around. Also their relationships to other peds, it's great to see a fight or a gunbattle to break out on their own. The detail in vehicles was also pretty surpising for a GTA game that time. It's simply breathtaking to just take a walk or drive around the block and watch as the city flows on. I still haven't gotten even bored of the game and what it's got to offer. Out of all GTA games, I've played it the most even though it was the last one I was introduced to. 2365 hours on Steam, then just add in the other thousand from the PS3 version and when I had the pirated version for PC.
I enjoy the III era GTA games too, in the end, I don't think IV and III era GTA's should be even compared, seeing as how different directions they're intentionally heading and what they're trying to be.
I don't get how you're saying V is just another RAGE game and possibly can't beat GTA 3. The game's not even out yet! Way to look silly, RF. Way to look silly.
