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 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.

    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.

    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.

      Now? They do that all the time, in fact Hollywood do this since I don’t know, the 50s?

      I get your point…

      But does it really apply when GTA VI is literally coming out within a month?

        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.

    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.

    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.

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

      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.

    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.

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