Tigeroovy, do games w Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year

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.

MrScottyTay,

I think they got shut down did they not?

thatKamGuy,

They are still hiring, according to their website - so unlikely they’ve been shut down.

MrScottyTay,

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

ToughGoat,

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.

I loved it but I ain’t buying it a second time at more than 10$!

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.

    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.

    S491,

    Gta 6 has been delayed to 5/26/2026

    victorz,

    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. 😆

    echodot,

    What universe are you from where it’s coming out next week.

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

    piyuv,

    Have been for a while. Thank god indie game devs.

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    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.

    madame_gaymes,
    @madame_gaymes@programming.dev avatar

    Such a thin line, but that’s exactly what I’m saying. That on top of stop charging full new game price for something that I played 10+ years ago that’s only a remaster.

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    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.

    Yes but you still don’t have a physical release

    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.

    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.

    Lost_My_Mind,

    $0 because I still own my PS3, and physical copy of the game.

    DoucheBagMcSwag,

    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

    shiroininja,

    Been playing it on PC. Performs better at 1440p that 1080p for reasons I don’t understand

    Baggie,

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

    shiroininja,

    I’ll have to check. I’m running it on Linux via proton, so it might get complicated

    victorz,

    Then surely it’s via Vulkan? Is Proton able to use anything else under the hood?

    shiroininja,

    Honestly I don’t know lol

    dangrousperson,

    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.

    victorz,

    Can you use Proton on Windows too? Cool if so.

    dangrousperson,

    No, not Proton, but the dxvk stuff works on Windows too. You just need to replace some .dll files

    victorz,

    Ah neat. Thanks for explaining!

    Baggie,

    Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    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).

    victorz,

    I read this as with a comma: “no fucking, thanks”.

    echodot,

    That’s what she said.

    victorz,

    All too often.

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    Someone’s not a fan of hot coffee.

    victorz,

    How did you know. I hate coffee in general. Never learned to, or needed to learn to drink it.

    Imagine the same for a blu-ray film…

    daniskarma,

    Don’t give them ideas.

    Wispy2891,

    The worst part is that it’s technically possible to do that using the bd-live 2.0 specification

    otacon239, do games w Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year

    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.

    Never thought I say this, but we gonna get GTA 4 before GTA6

    We already did, but we will again too!

    Lost_My_Mind,

    Hi Mitch!

    fluxion,

    Man, it’s been so long i forgot we were up to 5 already and thought this was the new GTA.

    echodot,

    I’m taking bets on whether we’ll get GTA 7 before GTA 6

    ATDA, do games w Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year

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

    Danitos,

    The car deformation physics of the game were so damn good and fun

    victorz,

    The last guy at the end and his 1-frame death 💀

    echodot,

    It’s not a bug, the swing sits in New York just do that.

    Do they even make disks with enough space for a modern game? Secondly, would a spinning disk be fast enough for it?

    I feel like the only way for truly physical media in the AAA space to be a thing again is if people are willing to pay an extra $60+ for an external SSD that holds the game.

    catloaf,

    Blu-rays can hold up to 128GB (BDXL, quadruple-layer).

    Read speed could be an issue, but if you’re smart about preloading and compress what’s on disc, you have to read less data (you just have to decompress it in memory instead). If you want to get really fancy, there are compression algorithms that let you seek inside compressed data so that you don’t have to load the whole archive.

    nagaram,
    @nagaram@startrek.website avatar

    Well there’s all the problems then

    Asking a AAA studio to make their game sub 128 GB AND optimize it in anyway is a tall ask

    Railcar8095,

    They don’t even need to optimize, forced install is OK. If I’m going to have the complete game on the drive anyway, at least save me download times.

    Wispy2891,

    AND complete it 1-2 months before release date to allow manufacturing and shipping.

    They complete it 1-2 months AFTER release date now…

    Talk about optimization!
