Eeeyyy cousin, let’s go bowling
I loved it but I ain’t buying it a second time at more than 10$!
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.
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.
The last guy at the end and his 1-frame death 💀
The car deformation physics of the game were so damn good and fun
It’s not a bug, the swing sits in New York just do that.
The best one.
$69.99 at launch guaranteed.
No
Fucking
Thanks

Savvy?

$0 because I still own my PS3, and physical copy of the game.
Played it on Xbox series X last year and have no desire to go back to it. I enjoyed the story and I’m done with it
Been playing it on PC. Performs better at 1440p that 1080p for reasons I don’t understand
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?
Well there is d9vk and dxvk which translates directX 9, 10 and 11 to Vulkan and vkd3d which translates direct3D (directX 12) to Vulkan. So it’s all Vulkan on the Linux side, Proton ‘just’ uses one of these to translate the game into Vulkan or passes it through if the game is already Vulkan.
I don’t think there is a native (to GTA IV) Vulkan renderer in game though and therefore there isn’t anything more you can or have to do on Linux.
On Windows, some older games actually get performance improvements from the translation to Vulkan.
Can you use Proton on Windows too? Cool if so.
No, not Proton, but the dxvk stuff works on Windows too. You just need to replace some .dll files
Honestly I don’t know lol
Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan
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).
I read this as with a comma: “no fucking, thanks”.
Someone’s not a fan of hot coffee.
How did you know. I hate coffee in general. Never learned to, or needed to learn to drink it.
That’s what she said.
All too often.
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 think they got shut down did they not?
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
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.
Never thought I say this, but we gonna get GTA 4 before GTA6
I’m taking bets on whether we’ll get GTA 7 before GTA 6
Man, it’s been so long i forgot we were up to 5 already and thought this was the new GTA.
We already did, but we will again too!
Hi Mitch!
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.
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 have no issues with them remastering old games for newer platforms. I have a problem with remaking old games instead of making new games.
deleted by creator
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.
Now? They do that all the time, in fact Hollywood do this since I don’t know, the 50s?
Have been for a while. Thank god indie game devs.

Gta 6 has been delayed to 5/26/2026
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. 😆
What universe are you from where it’s coming out next week.
Sorry 😞

Meanwhile, PC players can still buy and play it off steam. Or just pirate it
Eh, you can also play the 360 version on series s/x.
