Mods show bright future for next GTA game in series

Yes folks you guessed it! Its one of my long-winded GTA posts! Don’t worry I’ll try to keep this one as short as possible, but I really have came across some Grand Theft Gems here (see what I did there)! This is a bit off topic, and this is supposed to be a strictly PlayStation only site but I couldn’t help but want to share my discoveries with you. What have I found you ask? Well it’s a few Grand Theft Auto 4 mods for the PC but these are not just your average “lets add in a few real life cars and make people go wow” mods, these are full on conversions that could well give us some insight into what the next game in the GTA series may well look like if built from the PS3 (such as LA Noire)

lol @ that guy thinking the next GTA will look that good on PS3. AAAAHAHAHHAHAHAA Oh shit that was a good laugh.

AMG9992224673d ago

Hes saying if this is what you can achieve with mods, the next GTA has the potential to look good on all consoles.

AHAHAHhhahahhhaha :/

CrimsonEngage4672d ago

I'm sorry man but it won't look NEAR that good. You must have missed the part where he said the mod was running on a "Very high end PC".

qwertyz4672d ago (Edited 4672d ago )

exactly. ignorance is destruction. PC FTW even a 2006 pc would destroy ps3 lol

Christopher4672d ago

And would have cost a lot more than the $600 it cost to buy a PS3...

People buy consoles for their simplicity and longevity, not because they rival what a PC can do.

Josh_J_Ward4672d ago

I wasn't trying to say that the game would look this good, my article simply stated that rockstar was aware of what people have done with their game. These graphics are running past 1080p so they are not possible on a PS3, but close graphics would be possible if it wasn't for the Xbox needing a port of the game as well.

outwar60104673d ago (Edited 4673d ago )

how do install mods for games? it seems like every pc game i own(i've been buying from steam and live game) it needs to sign into somewhere and i cant bring up cheat console like i remember being able to do ie like fallout 3

tablav4673d ago (Edited 4673d ago )

In many cases, the steam versions use manipulated code that prevents mod applications. One example in which this is really evident is San Andreas where there were 3 versions of the game released and only version 1.0 could be fully modded. Most mods available on the net will come with install instructions. If they do not contain installers/self extracting archives, it'll usually be a case of replacing files manually in Windows Explorer, but really it depends on the mod.

outwar60104673d ago

thx for the help tablav so is it generally better to buy the disc version?

chak_4673d ago

That's bollocks.

Actually only a few steam game have problem with mods, and in every case it's old games.

tablav4673d ago

@chak_

Well, I'm speaking from my own experience here. Rather than put my comment down, why not make a constructive one yourself?

limewax4672d ago

Personally I would say if mods are vital to your purchase of a game, check to see if the steam version can be modded first. I have found most games can be modded, and often the ones that cant only have the problem with script editing/extending mods. If the game you are after cannot be modded, buy the original disc version, Often GOTY packs etc. are pre-patched beyond v1.00

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies12h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken7h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6923h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker22h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6922h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt10h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken7h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
