New iCEnhancer GTA IV Screenshots Will Make Your Jaw Drop

DSOGaming writes: "Hayssam Keilany has released some new screenshots from the latest version of his mind-blowing mod for GTA IV, iCEnhancer. These new shots use BisonSales’s leaves and as we can see, the attention to detail is extraordinary. Not only that, but the overall lighting that has been achieved in this latest version of iCEnhancer looks incredible."

das cool. think about this detail but on GTAV with desert, woodland, mountain, west coast city style. also is it impossible to modify the character models in GTA4? cause I've only seen environment upgrades.

tsn3640d ago

Fake? Look like photo's to me it the environment looks too dull to be computerized graphics.

Eiffel3640d ago (Edited 3640d ago )

Seems to be legit. Here is the car model Hayssam used for the two of the shots.

With iCEnhancer and probably tweaking with a trainer for the interior with additional chrome accents.

Everything appears to match up exactly.

Clearly computer graphics. No doubt about that. Not sure if doctored or not but those aren't real for sure.

Can someone post a link to a video where the game works normal with ICE enhancer and looks as great as on screenshots? The videos I saw where mostly underwhelming cause it's always someone driving a car in empty streets.

Recording GTAIV while running Icenhancer kills your GPU and EATS HDD like Pac-Man gobbling dots.

You will have to reach out to someone with a High end PC (which I have two) and with a good capture card (which I do not have) on a second PC set-up just to record.

But trust me Icenhancer GTAIV looks like that. The Vucko mod looks even better at times.

It's in-game graphics actually,don't know how you thought this was real.

bienio3640d ago

d Rockstar sitll nothing say about Pc version Fu...ers!!!

Infinity_Rasta3640d ago

I like how many people that can't believe this is real, shows how many consoles users that are here(check the Unreal engine vids if you wanna see next gen pc graphics).

MrSwankSinatra3640d ago (Edited 3640d ago )

who even cares, any that have used this mod knows that it ruins performance.

TheDevKit3640d ago (Edited 3640d ago )

No it doesn't; I'm getting 60 FPS at max settings with a 680.

kingduqc3640d ago

Ruin petforman says the console gamer... gta run at 25 fps on both console.. itctun twice as fast on about any gaming pc lol

georgenancy3640d ago

and can your pc ran this?yeah i thought so,ofcourse not!

Flutterby3640d ago

Who cares either way aren't most ppl on this site saying graphics don't matter at all its the game play lol at least that's what the ppl say when it comes to the ps4 having the better performing multiplats on console.

Perjoss3640d ago (Edited 3640d ago )

Very impressive for an open world game however, it's very obvious to see these are not photos of 'real life'.

In the car interior shots you can see faceting in many places. And in the shots with the bushes the leaves don't have the right amount of curvature, some even look totally flat, and even though the ground is out of focus you can see that the ground texture is pretty low quality.

edit: and of course graphics matter, otherwise we would still be playing on hardware like the Nintendo NES and Atari 2600. Many games these days are all about the escapism and try as best as possible to immerse us in the experience. An advanced graphics engine is MUCH better at doing this then say an engine from 10 or 20 years ago.

Having said that, never overlook the importance of top quality sound design, story telling and the importance of hiring a good writer.

Studio-YaMi3640d ago

I wonder how many more articles dsogaming.com is gonna post regarding mods enhancers for GTA:IV and Skyrim.....

Eiffel3640d ago

Probably for as long as the modding scene for both remains active. So a lot more.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Anniversary: The Beginning of the Age of RAGE

Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

isarai351d ago

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷

Fifteen Years On, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' Is Still the Series’ Best

There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?

The series' most overhyped and overrated (especially by critics) more like.

Number1TailzFan354d ago

Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.

VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.

Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.

BlackTar187353d ago

@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment

seanpitt23353d ago

For me 4 was better than 5 was more realistic and the physics was on another level! 5 was a major let down in that department!

Number1TailzFan353d ago

@blacktar you have your opinion i have mine. I found the game dull, and it is for the most part. It set the foundation for the much superior SA and VC however.

KwietStorm_BLM353d ago

You say GTA III is overrated because it's rough to go back to and rough to play after Vice City. Your entire opinion is in hindsight. Of course it's rough going back to it today. It came out over 20 years ago. That doesn't take away from the fact that it pioneered a lot and was a paradigm shift for a lot of trends in game development today. Vice City in a lot of ways is just a more refined version of III. It was San Andreas that took the big leap forward from a design perspective. If III doesn't release, who knows if the open world genre would be what it is now. How can that be overrated?

1nsomniac353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Not at all. My most played game of all time. Truly stunning accomplishment in gaming and with PC graphics mods it just took it to levels beyond anything that came before and possibly even after.

People who moan about it generally tend to be people who played it on under powered consoles and couldn’t handle the more realistic car physics. It was the slightly more realistic approach that made it stand out more. Absolutely love it. In fact I always said Vice city was my favourite of all time. But after going back to the remaster I realised 4 was actually the best.

Profchaos353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

I'm no critic and I consider it the best games in the franchise after recently replaying every entry it's story when paired in conjunction with it's DLC was and still is amazing.

shinoff2183353d ago

Lol. Fun fact. That dlc cost a certain green colored console 50 million for exclusiveness. Un heard of back then. Just to point out the hypocrisy of the 3rd party exclusive agenda going on.

Anyway how the dlc better then the base game by a mile. Lol imo

DigitallyAfflicted353d ago

I've enjoyed gta4 the most from all the others too.

DarXyde353d ago

San Andreas holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I couldn't get into IV at all. Didn't even finish it. I had some pride in playing it at first because I'm originally a New Yorker, but it just didn't do it for me.

To each their own.

shinoff2183353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Gta sa for sure. To this day my favorite. My least fav is gta 4 easily. Gta 4 made me feel like the dude in next friday trying to take the cd back talking about i cant get jiggy wit this.

Maybe looking back it would be 3 but 3 did so damn much for gaming in general. . My first gta was of course the top downs so the series has came a long way.

notachance353d ago

Yeah I remembered falling asleep playing the last mission in GTA4.. the most boring protagonist (out of all the voiced protag), and the town is too small.

Not really

Overrated

Boring

Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety

Lacked the GTA fun charm overall

Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor

blackblades353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

GTA 2 was the best, lol my only owned GTA game. Vice city was alright when I rented it back then. I cant really say which is the best cause those the only 2 games i played but GTA 2 was fun on PC back in the day. Closes game to it that I enjoyed was SR3 and I dont care what people say. That none serious tone was fun enjoyable.

banger88354d ago

Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.

isarai354d ago

Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.

I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV

chicken_in_the_corn354d ago

It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
