GTA IV deserves a remaster/remake
GTA V was fun and all but GTA IV really felt like a next gen GTA when it was released
It also had more memorable characters

Well they re released it on steam without online and it no longer crashes i managed to get off the first island something i have not done in 13yrs on pc.

But sadly grovestreet is rumored to be making a remaster/remake right now and gtaiv mods are being pulled down mod creators spanked like the 3 old games.

[Dandalandan117]

Aw hell no. Haven't they done enough damage already? C'mon Rockstar, anyone but Grovestreet Games please.

I played that re release it's still broken on modern rigs as frame rate is tied to button mashing objectives like in the final mission you need to mash space bar to climb into a chopper however this is impossible due to modern CPU architecture you need to pause the game go to task manager and restrict the cpu to a singular core with CPU affinity Resume game at 5 fps due to the heavy reliance rage has on CPU and physics engine climb in then reverse the change.

If not you will never ever mash the button fast enough there's so many steam community complaints on this and it was never fixed.

The re release basically removed a bunch of music and mp but gave owners all DLC free and brought 8t into the one game.

Just buy GTA4 on 360, pop it into any xbox.

The licenses for the music are all expiring and R* isn't renewing them. A remaster/remake would have none of the music you remember. Remaking a game that exists on a modern HDMI capable console is just a waste of plastic.

[Profchaos]

Yeah agree. But it's like that for every gta game ever the best way to play is always by original disc on a console of the era e.g gta vc on PS2, Xbox of and PC of you have the install discs.

I'm fortunate to have the original discs for PS3, PC and 360 I was something of a mega fan of gta iv and played every version on original hardware but didn't like v all that much. Still getting in a chopper and flying at sunset while 1979 plays is still one of my favourite things in gaming.

The original rockstar woulda been made gta 4 remaster at his level right along with a next gta title I miss that staff

"Recreates"is a stretch, he imported the asset from the game

[ANIALATOR136]

Was gonna say. Impossible for one person to create a whole city. No, he took someone elses work and just put it in a different engine

My man spent 10 months to get called out like this. He's not your average Joe jumping on UE5 hype. He makes and sells maps for a couple of thousands a year. He created everything in blender then ported them over to UE5 using Datasmith exporter plugin. A seasoned map modder, you could say. He said the map still needs a ridiculous amount of work, and if you watched his showcase you could see plenty of low poly models that he's going to replace later.

[isarai]

Yeah, i know, my statement is still true. He did not "recreate" it, this is almost the 1st step to recreating it. That's like buying all your ingredients and saying "look i cooked dinner" before you done anything else. Poor wording in the title should be changed.

Fan mods GTA 5 map for use in UE5 - Corrected.

Words matter exputer.com. :/ Don’t go full-Elon on the modder’s behalf.

I love these projects that let Rockstar know there's still a passionate fanbase for IV and it's but all sanity v it feels like UV is the forgotten game in many ways especially as they did nothing but even a tweet for its tenth anniversary.

GTA IV felt like a game that was so far above the competition in 2008 it for me felt like the first true at the time next gen game.

Not only that but it pushes so many boundaries of the franchise it was truely a masterpiece that I still happily fire up and replay regularly along with its DLC it's really a game of the parts and if you didn't play the DLC you have no right to trash the story because it's pulp fiction intertwined story only really comes together after playing all the content otherwise there's so many holes the only flaw with the gameplay is the 20 odd missions that are basically tutorial missions in the main story and I think that's why the game got a bad wrap once you got involved with Dimitri and cross that bridge that's when it kicks off.

If this got a remaster or y bother to finish the leaked one I'd buy it on every system it's on and play it until my thumbs bleed it's that good. Not just arguably the be best games in the franchise for me but the best games in general.

GTA4 was underrated for its time. It had its flaws with the constant forcing of the social system on you, and the performance was pretty awful (and the PC port even worse).

But the gameplay and story are solid - and the DLCs were great (remember back when R* made Single-player DLC?).

I’d love to see a remake/remaster.

[dmonee]

Rockstar remastered gta III- san andreas. Wouldn’t surprise me if they showcase new tech, with a GTAIV remaster or remake. However!!!! They are all about the multiplayer nowadays. That makes them money

[JL2930]

Worst game in the main series.
