    I feel like this was probably someone working at GTA IV who sold this. But he is afraid of getting sued, so they invented a story about car boot sale. And who knows if the price is even correct…** /tinfoil-hat**

    That’s pretty dang cool. Just hope that Xbox and Rockstar don’t pull a Sega and call the cops on this guy for buying it and releasing what they found.

    I also do hope that he donates the dev kit, intact, to the gaming preservation museum so this kind of stuff can be reserved for history.

    Oh neat! I like all the little details in GTA IV like being able to ride the subway - and I imagine a ferry system would have done something similar, but to ‘Happiness Island’? Like the subway, I probably would’ve tried it once but just stolen a boat/helicopter to get there in future.

    I remember the game really blowing my mind when I first played it, mostly in the sense of just how alive the world was. The only other games that have done so (blown my mind in the same way) would probably be Skyrim and Baldur’s Gate 3, which felt so ahead of their time.

    Good memories of just driving around Liberty City, messing with the physics system (usually getting pedestrians arrested by pushing them over and waiting for them to retaliate in front of the cops lol)
