IV Song Removal Due to Licenses expiring.

How long should we wait for "era of IV fixes" ?

I mean, III VC and SA got fixed and updated by great modders community, pretty much got fixed in all areas.

But IV still lacks in it IMO.

3D gtas got patches around 8-10th anniversary, sadly IV is more complex and more broken so noone really wants to touch it.

B-But why?Are they scared because they 'got a lioness and want a pussy cat'.

RenderWare vs. RAGE engine... RAGE is way way heavier and more complex than RenderWare, so I'm not surprised if there isn't any "mod fix" created by the community. Sadly if we want a good fix for the moment we have to wait Rockstar's updates, maybe in some years we'll see something like SilentPatch for IV.

R* became the only publisher I'd buy from in the past 15 years, but recently it's really turning into sh*t.

 

Too bad, will skip RDR2 and hope for a greater GTA6 in the next five years or so.

What if they added this though?

The only problem is that it wasn't a song from 2008 or before.

Are they scared

yes

GTA IV has securom, guess that's the main problem.

SA has securom too, pretty sure III and VC retail do too.

V-Sync broken on Patches 6 and 7,performance issues,certain shadows missing from patch 8,out of commision 60fps bug,grainy night shadows,yada yada yada im out of ideas.

(all i want is fixed v-sync and better fps)

Igor Bogdanoff

patch 8 fixes at least two of those things

The recoil bug is also a big issue in GTA IV, i know there's a "fix" for it, but then the recoil is tremendously broken with a controller.. and i like to switch between keyboard/mouse and controller while playing the game :D

 

also cutscenes tend to break if you play it on 60 FPS

Yep, this happens on 1.0.8.0

i know even better idea

bring those mods to newer patch

wow

Was this already implemented? I haven't played IV in two months and when I loaded it up today there was an update, I backed out before it finished. I'll download TBOGT tomorrow to get that soundtrack too if the update didn't happen already.

 

How do you disable automatic updates on the Xbox 360?

Improving performance wouldn't even be trivial, as performance profiling without sources* for binaries is usually tricky and hard to get right.

 

 

* Profiling with sources isn't exactly easy too.

Rockstar and Take-Two are a joke.

Rockstar and Take-Two aren't jokes.
You're weird, do the housers or Strauss zelnick f*ck you or something?

 

What? Do you really defend Rockstar and T2? Probably in this case it isn't much their fault, but with all the money they gained from GTA Online they could at least renovate the licences this time... Rockstar is changing a lot, probably, if it wasn't for GTA Online, we would wait for GTA VI this year (or 2019).Sadly, most game companies are going down the tube.

 

Hey, while Rockstar is at it how about adding the weapons from TLAD & TBoGT to vanilla IV...

 

I wanna run around with Niko carrying that big ass Heavy MG from TBoGT.

If licensing weren't a problem, it would have been amazing to finally merge the vanilla, DLC, and EFLC exclusive tracks together while we're at it. But that's looking to be a pipe dream at this point. :r*:Of all the money Cockstar has in the world...

Some of you might remember the debacle around the OpenIV cease and desist. If we actually want Take2 to attempt to renegotiate the licenses for the music we should make our voices heard. This is a bad PR incident waiting to happen. I've already seen some in this very thread expressing an attitude of "what's the point in buying it if 10 years later it isn't what I bought anymore". We need to channel that and make this a bad PR incident. Then maybe they'll reconsider. Of course we still might not get all the tracks to stay...but "alot" of Vladivostok screams "we're not even going to bother to try".

This case is very, veeeeeeery different. Back in the OpenIV case the C&D against the OpenIV team prompted the community to start writing negative reviews about the game on Steam. The flow of negative reviews was so big it actually affected the game's "rating", which was pretty high before the scandal. And this was -and still is- Rockstar and Take Two's stellar product, and having tons of bad community reviews on the same page where they sell the game for PC was definitely more harmful than what they originally intended to chase down, the possibility of exploiting GTA Online through OpenIV which was non-existant at all. So they had to trace their steps back. This showed extraordinarily well that the Take Two execs simply do not care about their customers at all, they wanted to prevent any sort of possibility of losing income without giving a damn if their measures were actually effective or not. They ended up shooting themsevles in the foot.

 

This is a completely different story. IV is a nearly 10 year old game, and obviously with its reputation among casual gamers, it simply doesn't sell nowhere near as good as GTA V. If the people start making negative reviews about the upcoming changes, I can assure you it will never be as massive as the amount of repudiation Take Two received with the Open IV case.

 

I believe mostly what Spider-Vice said, probably most of these licensing contracts were never meant to be renewable. We all know that if the contracts were renewable, Rockstar definitely has the money to renew them, but maybe that's simply not possible.

 

GTA IV may not be that popular among the mainstream crowds but it's important to remember the context here. This is about more than IV. In another 5 years GTA V will be 10 years old (they grow up so fast) and it will be getting exactly the same treatment. They do have other options. If they can't renegotiate the licenses and thus can no-longer sell IV in its original form then the right course of action is not to butcher the current release that people have already purchased, expecting the complete product, but to pull it from sale on steam and re-release a mutilated version as they did with Vice City.Mainstream which consists of children today who have nothing better but to play Online and moronic teens who continuously buys Cockstar's shark cards.

 

This just proves that Rockstar sh*ts on GTA IV and it's fans. They don't give a flying f*ck about us and would love to force us to play GTA sh*tline and pay them for Shark Cards or something. I have stayed at 1.0.7.0 and never bothered updating, and I won't. f*cking greedy capitalists.

You gotta be kidding. Cockstar would NEVER do that :(They've long abandoned their original fan base.

Agreed.All they care now about is shark cards and money coming from 5yr olds.

I don't ever recall bulletspread getting screwed up on the controller when playing with the Bulletspread fix, although I only ever played with the fix on 1070, so maybe it's a 1080 issue then?

Too bad, will skip RDR2

People often say but don't follow. I'd like to see this time many people to actually walk the talk and make Rockstar realise that fans are not going to take everything they throw at their feet.

 

I was planning to pre-order RDR2 when they announced it back in 2016, but now I decided that I'll wait a little bit after its release to see how it really is. A few years ago I would have pre-ordered a Rockstar's game immediately, without even thinking, but now I can't say the same thing. Rockstar is becoming the new Ubisoft/EA, I don't like at all this "Games as Services" model. I'm very curious to see how they'll implement microtransactions in RDR2, I'm ready to spend 80€ on a "Megalodon Bullet Ultra Wonderful Card" for buying new horses and "upgrade" them in a sort of LSC.

Hmmm nice bike

Agreed. I won't be skipping Red Dead 2, but I probably won't be pre-ordering it and paying full price once it's first out. After seeing Take Two and Rockstar's new model in place with GTA and how Take Two has said that they want to make more games that specifically focus on microtransactions and how to get people to keep spending money even after paying for the game, I'm not looking forward to seeing how much they force "Red Dead Online" or if they push single player aside for multiplayer yet again.

Scrooge Zelnick wants microtransactions in EVERY game going forward and even admitted that he believes loot boxes are harmless. I'm also not pre ordering OR buying RDR2 and that's a promise. That is unless it's a masterpiece and NOT downgraded and has features moved to or pushed aside for the garbage cash grab online.

Easy for me because I don't care for RDR. Also easy because I don't buy Shark Cards and by the time GTA VI comes out I'll probably be far too busy to care.

Burnout Paradise is 3 months older but EA is keeping all the songs for the remaster.

 

EA > R*

You know you're screwing up when EA is doing something positively better than you.
