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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

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).

Someone's not a fan of hot coffee.

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.

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.

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