Word on the street is that Rockstar is getting ready to release a GTA 4 port for modern consoles.

Eeeyyy cousin, let’s go bowling

GTA IV reoptimized to run in modern hardware with less or at least more reasonable piss filter would be a nice upgrade. None of the visual mods could get ride of the weird haze around everything.

I loved it but I ain’t buying it a second time at more than 10$!

Only reason I haven’t modded HDR for this game is because it’s DX9 and a pain to mod. (I already did GTAV - Enhanced and GTA Trilogy Remastered since it’s UE). If they make a new port for PC it’ll be able to complete the set.

GTA IV is currently backwards compatible on Xbox, so you can already play it on there. If you have your old 360 disc that works you can use that to get the digital version.

Ok but don’t fix the swing set of doom. A significant portion of my playtime was trying to best my longest launch.

It’s not a bug, the swing sits in New York just do that.

Just keep Grove Street Games as far away from this as possible.

No one wants to see them butcher another entry in this series with their lazy, AI-upscale slop.

To be fair I don’t think the issue is Grove Street Games. The AI-upscale texture work wasn’t even done by them - that was Technicolor, who Rockstar, as far as I know, still use to this day.

The issue was that Rockstar gave them a tiny budget, not a whole lot of time, and then moved the deadline forward six months when GTA V E&E got delayed. I think the scope for the project was fundamentally wrong as well, the games needed a lot more than a straightforward port onto Unreal Engine.

No wonder it released in the state that it did.

They are still hiring, according to their website - so unlikely they’ve been shut down.

I must’ve heard wrong then. I swear I saw that they got shut down and then a different team came in to do those extra fixes on the shitty trilogy collection

Been playing it on PC. Performs better at 1440p that 1080p for reasons I don’t understand

It’s probably because things get janky on high FPS. I wasn’t able to complete the game until I capped the FPS in the final mission (helicopter scene).

Hope you’re running on Vulkan, for me it went from 30ish fps to an illegally high number for some ungodly reason.

I’ll have to check. I’m running it on Linux via proton, so it might get complicated

Then surely it’s via Vulkan? Is Proton able to use anything else under the hood?

The original will probably run better, too. I bet this is another TES IV situation where they stitched UE5 on top of the original game engine. The release pattern of being completely quiet, then random leak, then it drops is eerily similar.

I guess AAA studios are hollywood now. Unable to create something new, put a new coat of paint on something from the attic. Milk the audience with nostalgia.

I have no issues with them remastering old games for newer platforms. I have a problem with remaking old games instead of making new games.

@[email protected]

fedilink

Such a thin line, but that’s exactly what I’m saying. That on top of stop charging full new game price for something that I played 10+ years ago that’s only a remaster.

Yeah, I’d much prefer they make it a DLC or something for the existing game instead of a new entry entirely. I’d ideally be able to toggle between old and new in the same game.

The time of release is kind of irrelevant. They’re working hard on a new game.

Having said that, it’s the same game with a different story, so… Neither side has much of a point. 😆

My comment isn’t just about Rockstar, although they did also do some milking with GTA3 as well. Recently there was TES IV, plus all the Skyrim editions, from Bethesda. Now Gears of War is getting a remaster. In recent years, remakes and remasters from AAAs seem to have increased. Last of Us is another example.

And to be clear, I’m not necessarily against the remakes/maintaining the classics to be playable on modern hardware. Really, it’s the price tags.

Sorry 😞

I hope they could re release a PC version as well. Current GTA IV PC version is laughable on modern hardware. The optimization mod works ok most of the time. But sometime it stutters like crazy and I need a hard PC reboot to fix it.
