Although Grand Theft Auto V was at this point almost a decade of rage, many fans still have a soft spot for the entry that preceded it in GTA IV. Luckily for the fan of the series, the fourth installment in the long series may soon get a major graphic overhaul that could make it much easier to return in the future.
In a new project called RevIVe by BisonSales, a new group of muds actually wants to remaster Grand Theft Auto iv with modern footage. So far no one was able to send in the perfect solution, which is not strange. This achievement uses the iCEnhancer 4 beta mod to completely recreate the graphical fidelity of GTA IV. This includes the game’s textures, lighting and even its overall performance.
For now, iCEnhancer and RevIVe have only released an initial video showing this graphic mod in action (which you can see above), but which is highlighted looks excellent. Although much work remains to be done on the project, the textures that can be seen in this new version of Liberty City are in line with what we expect from the next generation of titles.
At the moment, this RevIVe project is still in early development and may take some time to release. The creators said it is currently just something they are working on in their spare time, but they want to raise more funds through Patreon so they can devote more time to creation.
The other only downside with this mod is that it is of course only available to those on the computer once it has arrived. While PlayStation and Xbox games have grown more mod over the years, GTA IV is completely too old to allow this. If you want to play the game on a console, you can do so by digging out your PS3 or playing on Xbox One or Xbox Series X / S by being backwards compatible.
All in all, when this RevIVe mod finally sees the light of day, it’s really going to be an impressive achievement and will definitely GTA IV so much more tempting to visit again. If there are any further developments with the creation of this mod in the future, we will let you know GTA cover page.
