gravelli Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Anyone think this is a good idea? Having it as a downloadable game from PSN/XBL? If GTA V is ported to PS4 and X1, which it probably will be, and GTA VI is released on PS4 and X1, it would be useful for the sake of continuity to have the entire GTA series on 8th gen consoles by porting and remastering GTA IV over too.

lol232 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I doubt it'll get remastered, if you want better graphics or such you can get a PC. But just a simple port? Yeah that's possible. Kampret, Heists and theGTAking101 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanto Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) If they release IV on next-gen consoles, it will rather be a port than remastered game. Edited March 29, 2014 by Vanto theGTAking101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voggs Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 If GTA V is not ported to PC, PS4 and Xbox One, I would really doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliakiller Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Maybe for the tenth anniversary of tha game we get something like this.. but i really doubt it would happen. As for V on the next gen? Of course. This is a gold mine, and RSTAR arent dumb to pass this. They want to make Online separated from SP now, and wont make it just for the last gen consoles.

Magic_Al Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) History is not the side of this idea: Rockstar doesn't seem to like to do new-and-improved versions of old games except to bring them to entirely new platforms/market segments — meaning, a mobile device is a completely new way to experience an old game, but a new console that replaced an old console has not been a good enough motivation for Rockstar to "remaster" anything. The closest thing they've done to that is Bully: Scholarship Edition, which updated a PS2 game to Xbox 360, but that was an exception because they had announced an original Xbox version that got cancelled because of delays and the way Microsoft pretty quickly killed the original Xbox platform after the 360 was out. Even after they had this "next gen" version of Bully done for the 360 they did not port it to the PS3. And even after they had extra detail created for the Xbox versions of GTA3 and Vice City (which were released after the PC versions) they did not update the PC versions.

Only visual effects. The textures on PC are raised, yes, but not all are increased. IV on PC is a HD/SD mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBOX versions of GTA III and GTA Vice City. That's considered to be the same console generation as the PS2. It's porting to expand the user base, not to replace previous versions. The additional detail is due to the Xbox being a bit newer and more powerful and Rockstar optimized the game for the hardware. (The Xbox ports of GTA3 and VC were done by Rockstar Vienna. However, with San Andreas, Rockstar North did all versions and chose not to have so much visual difference between the PS2, Xbox, and PC versions.)

The XBOX version of GTA SA did have better shadows, car reflections, better lighting and such. It didn't have missing textures on some vehicles such as the Bloodring Banger on the PC version.

B Dawg Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 GTA IV should get 1080P+, 60FPS+ port, all very high pc settings. lol232 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampret Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 A port should have been easy for them, but i highly doubt they'll make a remaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnocchi Flip Flops Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You know, it would be awesome (better draw distance, much more density in everything) but it'll never happen. Rockstar doesn't give a sh*t about IV anymore. They'll just leave it in the corner rotting like MC:LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osho Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 May be ( part of GTA O, in future ) who knows? Otherwise, Rockstar should spend the time on more important things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plausible, but considering the game is very unoptimized and CPU-intensive, I doubt that PS4/X1 can run it at max after all. As much as i liked PS4, the processor is like a tablet CPU (1.6 GHz?).
