They clearly sacrificed every "body and car" physics calculations to enhance the graphics, its indeed very sad.

Agreed. while I actually play GTA5 Online I never liked the arcade handling. It just boils down to the grip level of the tires, I think if it was lowered everything would feel better. But even in GTA4 i think the game is missing the option to drive standard.

Not only that but as the video shows the fighting was a lot better and immersive in GTA4 (among other things) and I do enjoy the feeling of NYC/Liberty City.

One thing GTA4 always lacked though was country side and the map did feel kinda small. No cool mountain roads, woods, train tracks etc

How can you not like Trevor? Hadn't had a character that good since Vice City.
