How?

[@BlackSmith6969]

Its because GTA 4 has the best physics best but challanging driving physics and the best story out of all GTA games But they had to downgrade some things for GTA 4 like no ability to become cowboy, no countryside, no states just like in GTA SA where if you get bored on staying las ventureas, go to san fierro and listen to SFUR and you can get what i mean People always says GTA 4 was way ahead of its time cuz they didnt know about GTA 4 , they just copy comment just for likes according to me, GTA 4 is the worst game out of all GTA games cuz of all optimization, nothing to waste money on and you cant become a cowboy which is a shame and OH OH!!! How about we go to Another planet in gta 6 mission where jason or lucia gets kidnapped and went to another planet for experiments and i cant imagine how rockstar cam roast the entire world in terms of cultures, religion, trends and fashion and i wish we can get hot coffee back in GTA 6 imagine we can do mission as jason where he has to pretend hes a PP star and has to f&*( a woman in camera and we have to control jason in term of his stamina,etc {not by up adn down button like in GTA SA which is kind of challangeing} and if we dont we mission failed and im sure rockstar will add this feature cuz a lot of PP videos comes from FLorida and rockstar knows it better than us So rockstar shouldve made the hot coffe return from GTA SA to GTA 4c where Niko has to f^&^ michelle in his room. in TLAD jhonny would f%&( ashley on dates i know we cant date ashley but if rockstar added HOt coffee jhonny couldve date ashley and in TBOGT luis wouldve F^&* jane you know the beer girl on loading screen, she appears in the side missions and if rockstar added hot coffee luis couldve F^*^& Jane where on dates you can get it what im saying what im saying is that Every game is his flaws and perfections like RDR2 is hated becuase of Arthur death, people witness you as a murdere by just picking dead body, have to ride on horsy all the time etc and we all can agree taht GTA 6 will bring back features from GTA 4 like driving and physics etc

@@ds9235 *Rockstar could easily hire Double Eleven again, the same team that ported RDR1 to Switch and PS4/PS5, to port GTA IV. It'd certainly be a very small investment compared to the profit it would generate for them. A mere port would be enough for many people. All they'd need to do is optimize the game to run at a rock-solid 30fps, set the resolution to 1080p (Full HD) and apply a good anti-aliasing filter. On PS4, of course. On PS5 they would upgrade the resolution to 2160p (4K) and make it run at a silky-smooth 60fps, while keeping the AA filter, obviously. That's basically all they did for the RDR1 port, and it was a good one.

There are so many games from the PS3/360 era that I miss so much. Games that will probably never get ported or remastered because they're no longer economically viable, etc. But damn it, Rockstar, this is GTA IV we're talking about. It ain't just another game. It's one of the mainline GTAs. One of Rockstar's most acclaimed games of all time. Public and critical success.

If they ever make a definitive edition of GTA 4, it’s been my dream since GTA 5 came out for GTA 4 to implement the same character wheel system to be able to seamlessly switch between Niko Johnny and Luis.

[@mooganify]

They’d never put the effort in…

[@TheAurelianProject]

@@mooganify Of course, but again, it’s just a dream.

[@grimyGobIin]

[@oOignignoktOo1]

it's because they can't monetize the online like they did with GTA5. that'why they port GTA 5 on everything

[@Officialchristophermorris]

GTA IV *&* Vice City Stories... and Coincidentally I Thought the Late 2000s was the Best Year for RockStar with: VCS, GTA IV, BULLY, The Warriors, Manhunt 2, ect and I find it Interesting that WreckStar Legitimately Skip those 2 Games that came out in order from the Late 2000s 1 Game Ended the 3D Universe, and the other Game Started the HD Universe... I need answers WreckStar if u want me to be Excited for VI😒

[@Blaster1360]

Knowing how much they dropped the ball with The Defective Editions of GTA III/VC/SA, we should all be thankful they haven't announced a GTA IV "remaster" because they'd just lazily outsource it to another company who'd butcher it.

[@smeny3855]

Rockstar games focused a lot on new games and considering the failure with the trilogy it preferred not to get involved

I think it’s just that rockstar could give a fuck less about any of its fan base, and they are a greedy cash cow that still makes good games but just enough to keep people playing. No fan service just bullshit updates to a map we’ve played for 11 years

[@ColdHoops]

I believe 6 will be the last of the GTA series. People would have to wait probably 20 years for the next one, assuming a GTA 7 will be made... What do you think? 🤔

@@marcusfrm6263 obviously they write good stories, I never said they didn’t. Its just sad instead of any dlc for the main story line we get bs online updates. As well as red dead being one of the last releases from their main ip’s is just sad. Shit if they just even expanded the map for gta 5 or gave access to visit liberty city as well would be cool. They have ported the same game over the last 2 console generations it’s just sad

[@nerad1994]

Port it so the ps5 can play physical copies of gta 4-6

[@dauphongii]

Tbh apart from some bugs that have already been patched with mods like 8 years ago, what do you want to really improve on GTA 4? The graphics? Sure, the textures could be made more high res, but there are mods for that. Also if Rockstar was gonna remaster it, they would surely butcher up the feeling, same as they did with GTA Trilogy. It will just look soulless and basic. Also what is likely to happen, they'll take down the original version, many mods that have been made for the game, and those which would somehow survive won't be compatible with the new game anyway. Essentially it would suck hard for everyone.

[@runarvollan]

Remastered = FusionFix! Console Shadows: ON Console Gamma: ON Console TreeFX: ON

[@TrippleNineSIXBandOfficial]

I am really getting sick of people saying that red dead redemption two does not have a 60 FPS port. If you’re not playing the game on a PS five, with a 4K TV it will not run at 60 FPS. It is PS4, pro enhanced, meaning runs at 60 FPS. A bunch of KZbin channels alongside yourself are pushing false information because clearly nobody has actually done the research I have I’ve played it on an older TV through my PS five and a 4K TV with HDR activated and it runs at 60 frames a second on that. Also, the bully remaster was only released on mobile, not all the consoles. Maybe next time you make a video on a topic like this actually do some research, because it makes you look bad along with all the other KZbinrs, pushing false information.

[@Gnik4144]

I figured GTA 4 never got remastered because of the fallout they had with the guy who played the Niko character.

[@Extreme2SwaggerHD]

They had a gta 4 remaster in the pipeline but they cancelled it due to the poor reception of the trilogy DE.

[@NukeCaulfield]

The same thing happened with CJ's va and the trilogy remaster happened. I don't think that has anything to do with it whatsoever.

[@WastedPot]

I hope to see IV revived with a newer port one day. A proper one though, none of this mobile port definitive edition nonsense. Then they can support newer consoles and hopefully better future proof the PC version, which I’ve had to mod to get to run well on modern hardware.

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

Why? What would need to be censored?

[@MonroeAlexander2024]

😅Why dumb it down, put more in to the video game with more too do.

[@Birdsofparadiselost]

@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer In a time where American media companies including game studios are facing their biggest competency and legitimacy crises, the last thing they need to put out there is a down-to-earth but gritty Eastern European man from an honor-culture mentality telling you why the American Dream is a lie. If you want something very specific and short, I would point to the near-climax of the story the diamond heist (especially the mission Late Checkout), as something that would have to be rewritten heavily. If they could remove it, they probably already would have, but it's what ties all of the stories together and introduces Episodes from Liberty City. Although the game touches many stereotypes that are considered off-limits today, I believe this is the subplot that would really take the cake of going against what is and is not allowed in media today. If you want the full explanation of why this game is highly unlikely to be remastered, read on. It cannot be overstated just how much political media like video games has changed since the early 00s. GTA4 is not only fundamentally a product of 00s commentary and common sense, but has core storytelling aspects that are taboo to release or even re-release today. The game is a deep satire and critique of developing 21st century trends in America and tells its story through a realistic but exaggerated view into ethnic gangs in New York of the time period. This kind of deep-dive on unique ethnic subplots is something that is viewed extremely negatively by leading media companies today, unless it is confined to very specific messaging. This also includes the overall theme elements of IV, as they are adapted directly from Russian 90s crime dramas/soap operas, especially the film 'Brother 2' which gave us the whole Niko/Roman setup. The Russian cultural aspect - again taboo today - is really clear from the beginning of the game and is even the landing area/first plot/environmental branch. This includes everything from the setting, music, and even Rockstar basing Niko's character model on Vladimir Mashkov (a dominant Russian actor at that time) and trying to get him to voice Niko. Of course Niko is Serbian, not Russian, but in the film, the protagonist is also somewhat an outsider from Russian society: disgruntled Chechen War vet whole-heartedly rejecting and clashing with the rotten parts of the prevailing culture including notable ethnic angles. Sound familiar?

The only thing it needs to feel modern is to eliminate that circle health bar, which looks outdated as hell, and replace it with one similar to the one used in V. IV is dark and moody, so all that post-processing should remain to capture the tone instead of being bright and sharp like V.
