Eh, you can also play the 360 version on series s/x.
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.
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 think they got shut down did they not?
They are still hiring, according to their website - so unlikely they’ve been shut down.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have been for a while. Thank god indie game devs.

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