The best one.

ATDA@lemmy.world on 12 May 17:32 next collapse

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

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.

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

spankmonkey@lemmy.world on 12 May 17:49 next collapse

We already did, but we will again too!

Hi Mitch!

fluxion@lemmy.world on 12 May 21:00 next collapse

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

echodot@feddit.uk on 13 May 07:47 collapse

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

otacon239@lemmy.world on 12 May 17:42 next collapse

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.

DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 12 May 18:02 next collapse

$69.99 at launch guaranteed.

Fucking

Thanks

Savvy?

madame_gaymes@programming.dev on 12 May 19:36 next collapse

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@lemmy.world on 12 May 21:49 next collapse

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

DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 12 May 22:41 collapse

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@lemmy.world on 12 May 22:51 next collapse

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

Baggie@lemmy.zip on 12 May 23:47 next collapse

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

shiroininja@lemmy.world on 13 May 03:59 collapse

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

victorz@lemmy.world on 13 May 06:07 next collapse

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

shiroininja@lemmy.world on 13 May 15:59 next collapse

Honestly I don’t know lol

dangrousperson@feddit.org on 14 May 10:37 collapse

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@lemmy.world on 14 May 15:16 collapse

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

dangrousperson@feddit.org on 14 May 16:04 collapse

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

victorz@lemmy.world on 14 May 16:55 collapse

Ah neat. Thanks for explaining!

Baggie@lemmy.zip on 14 May 02:35 collapse

Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 13 May 16:26 collapse

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@lemmy.world on 13 May 06:06 collapse

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

echodot@feddit.uk on 13 May 07:48 next collapse

That’s what she said.

victorz@lemmy.world on 14 May 15:17 collapse

All too often.

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.

ChuckTheMonkey@fedia.io on 12 May 18:18 next collapse

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.

ShortFuse@lemmy.world on 12 May 18:26 next collapse

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.

madame_gaymes@programming.dev on 12 May 19:34 next collapse

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.

[deleted] on 12 May 20:08 next collapse

madame_gaymes@programming.dev on 12 May 20:14 next collapse

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.

Gta 6 has been delayed to 5/26/2026

victorz@lemmy.world on 13 May 06:02 collapse

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@feddit.uk on 13 May 07:46 collapse

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

kadup@lemmy.world on 13 May 10:19 collapse

Sorry 😞

ZeroHora@lemmy.ml on 12 May 20:48 next collapse

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.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 13 May 16:24 collapse

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@programming.dev on 13 May 16:29 collapse

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@sh.itjust.works on 13 May 23:18 collapse

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.

Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works on 12 May 20:00 next collapse

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

thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works on 12 May 23:29 next collapse

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@sh.itjust.works on 13 May 08:09 next collapse

I think they got shut down did they not?

thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works on 13 May 08:29 collapse

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

MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works on 13 May 20:42 collapse

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@lemmy.ml on 13 May 17:39 collapse

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.

Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca on 13 May 09:50 next collapse

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.

ICastFist@programming.dev on 13 May 18:24 collapse

Meanwhile, PC players can still buy and play it off steam. Or just pirate it

alehel@lemmy.zip on 14 May 05:32 collapse

Eh, you can also play the 360 version on series s/x.
