A '''replay''', or '''instant replay''', is a minor feature that allows the player to review the last minute of gameplay. Predominantly exclusive to [[Personal Computer|PC]] version of Grand Theft Auto games, replays are simply reconstructed using certain available data from the latest round of gameplay, such as player actions, locations of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, time, and weather. As a result, the replays are not necessarily accurate recreations of actual scenes, and | A '''replay''', or '''instant replay''', is a minor feature that allows the player to review the last minute of gameplay.

As a result, the replays are not necessarily accurate recreations of actual scenes, and were considerably crude when first introduced. | ||
The feature was first introduced in the PC port of [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and was carried over to the PC port of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and the PC and [[Xbox]] ports of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] (the only console-based GTA game with a replay system). Replays are also available for the PC port of [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], and may be edited using an editing software dubbed the '''Video Editor'''. The first system employed in the first three games remained roughly unchanged, while GTA IV's replay system has been significantly revamped. | The feature was first introduced in the PC port of [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and was carried over to the PC port of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and the PC and [[Xbox]] ports of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] (the only console-based GTA game with a replay system).

Once replays are saved, they can be processed by the Video Editor. In order to access the Video Editor, the player must access their [[Cell Phone|mobile phone]] and select the "Video Editor" option at the bottom of the menu. Access into the Video Editor will cancel any ongoing missions, and eventually send the player back to the nearest available [[Safehouses in GTA IV|safehouse]] when the player leaves the Video Editor. When in the Video Editor, players can view saved replays of their choice, as well as editing the recording using a video editor to produce rendered videos for personal use, or upload them to the Internet (i.e. via [[Rockstar Games Social Club]] or other video hosting sites). The videos are rendered as Windows Media Video (WMV) files and saved in the <code>My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Videos\rendered</code> directory, and the Video Editor offers several choices of video resolutions for rendered videos. | Once replays are saved, they can be processed by the Video Editor.
