What rig runs this? I have i5-2500k and 6950 2GB, is it enough?

[maniac-kun]

I demand this generation has to end now!

YT comment from the uploader:

My computer is only an iMac with a Core i7 @ 2.97 and a little Radeon 5750 which is mid-range. Using GTA4 on 1.0.4.0 It''s gonna work on lastest patchs + EFLC later , like next week.

I said wow...

[Binabik15]

Wat.

Seriously, what.

Was GTA 4 series already a daily Steam sale or just the general Rockstar sale?

I need this. Even if I have to go to my brother and his 6950s every time I want to play it.

[IndieJones]

For those wondering what kind of rig you need to run this, this is from the creator of the video:

There you go.

I just tried jt this morning. Jacked up my brightness and contrast to an unbelievable degree. Trees look like paper cutouts. Doesn't look like that YouTube video at all. Did I miss any additional things I need to do? I'm using the steam version if that makes a diff.

[Lv99 Slacker]

Really puts shit in perspective. Most gamers do not think about how much work is put into these games in terms of true to life details.

[Net_Wrecker]

YT comment from the uploader: I said wow...

WAT.

A PC exclusive/PC led GTA would probably look like a 2 generation jump.

[walking fiend]

I don't have a PC, but I am going to buy a PC very soon, I will get this then, I will make sure my PC can play it 60fps, I promise.

[Stitch]

Oh btw, iCEnhancer 1.2.5 is apparently built specifically to be 1.0.7.0 compatible, so there's hope people :)

:O
but i actually only want this because it has FXAA :x

[Jonm1010]

Anyone remember that cancelled game 2 Days to Vegas?

Even then I remember seeing those bullshots and saying to myself, it's not possible this gen.

This video is the first time I've seen a mod or game that actually matches and exceeds those bullshots. Still sitting blown away here.

The original config does need some tweaking, especially the trees.

Replace this in your config; ( Just a suggestion, what I use, could probably be better )

[TREE]
LeavesReflectionAmount=0.0
LeavesSpecularPower=0.0
LeavesAmbientAmount=0.95
LeavesColorMultiplier=1.0
LeavesColorPow=1.8
LeavesColorFilterR=1.0
LeavesColorFilterG=1.0
LeavesColorFilterB=1.2


This is how my trees look with the above;

[Zenith]

Anyone got any screens of muzzle flashes or explosions with this mod?

[onQ123]

holy shit!

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Looks fantastic but does it improve the character models?

Yup. I want to know this, too.

[Torrod]

This is witchcraft. Burn it!

[Slayer-33]

Jesus Christ..

[Shadow of the BEAST]

Bububu diminishing returns.

this looks like 3 generations away from current games. And its just some lightning model right?

[Binabik15]

Looks like the street and bricks aren´t tesselated, PASS!

Maybe one day modders won´t have to do all the work for sandbox game devs (JC2 excluded).

[Shadow of the BEAST]

Next gen consoles will be the biggest leap in graphics ever. Even overshadowing snes/psone

[nextgeneration]

I just have to lol at the people who think we are at a point where we are at a diminishing return in graphics. Simply amazing.

[QueenOfThorns]

Wow. Especially when it gets to the night time part. I want next gen to look like that.

[Gram Negative Cocci]

Yeah I think that would be my ultimate dream GTA. Graphics like video with fully destructible environments. Unrealistic for next gen probably and the additional costs would probably also make it out of reach.

It's really hard to say how much unrealistic physics-based destruction would be.

I mean assume next-gen is N times more powerful than this gen. Would dev rather up the graphics but leave physics as it is now or go total physics-based destruction (on buildings, bridges, domes etc.) and have graphics like in this GTA4 mod. Are physics still CPU bound?

Hard to say what would be more demanding. Besides if we want GTA to be "realistic": how would one bring down a whole skyscraper. It doesn't really happen in real-life...

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

My body (and new PC) is ready.

[Zapages]

what would be the specs of a computer to get something like this to run.

I am looking to buy a new computer that will run something like this and trackmania 2. :)

[xemumanic]

All I can say is......OMFG.

That is all.

[DieH@rd]

quadcore and any modern $100+ gpu, but offcourse you can aim higher.

[Angry Fork]

This makes me weep because of the potential a PC exclusive GTA has. Such a damn shame, but mods like this ease the hurt.

[TheNiX]

Next gen consoles will be the biggest leap in graphics ever. Even overshadowing snes/psone

I remain hesitantly optimistic.

[plank]

comparison pics?

[Jtwo]

This makes me weep because of the potential a PC exclusive GTA has. Such a damn shame, but mods like this ease the hurt.

Potential for what?
Certainly not a billion and a half copies sold.

[Krev]

This is what I'm expecting we'll see on the next generation of consoles from developers who really try, especially later in the gen.

Im not even a graphics guy and im blown away, I fear that something special will be lost in the artistic side of things when true photorealism is possible, but I still cant wait to see it happen.

If photorealism were hypothetically possible (it's not even possible over a sustained period in full budget CG movies; Avatar is the closest we've gotten), then Pixar graphics would be possible too. So many people are looking for escapism from their entertainment that I doubt we'll ever see the end of interesting art styles in simulated worlds.

[CharmingCharlie]

I've never understood why Rockstar never embraced the modding community. The stuff these guys to do GTA is just downright amazing and yet Rockstar releases patches that completely breaks these things.

I believe the main reason Rockstar locked off modding in GTA 4 from 1.0.40 onwards was down to hacking in multiplayer. They would release a new patch disabling trainers and you would get about 24 hours before hacking started again.

So with 1.0.7.0 they did their damnedest to cut out any kind of modding whatsoever. I am surprised there hasn't been a way to downgrade the steam version yet.

[Van Buren]

How good is FXAA and will that slaughter performance like SSAA?

I've been playing around with it for a couple of days, and the FXAA hit is negligible - it leaves enough headroom to even enable 3D. Without it, the aliasing issue is a lot more pronounced.

[Limanima]

That looks amazing.

I am surprised there hasn't been a way to downgrade the steam version yet.

Main reason why ENB never reached 1.0.7.0 was because Rockstar kept changing the shaders with every patch release, shitting all over ENB's work and he basically gave up. There's one reason why the mod community is stagnating, those who make headway is cockblocked by R*

[teepo]

has gta4 already gone on sale during the steam summer sale?

NM: read the thread. fuck you rockstar

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Anyone with a GTX 580 tried this? What does it run like?

[Net_Wrecker]

Potential for what? Certainly not a billion and a half copies sold.

Then where's the harm in devs pulling a DICE and leading on PC then downgrading where appropriate on consoles? Judging by the lack of rock solid framerates, it seems that most devs are exceeding what consoles are capable of doing during development anyway. Why not give one of your versions space to breathe, and scale down for the rest?

[StevieP]

I still can't believe people think like this, on GAF of all places.

[Coldsnap]

someone please please write a guide to update with the OP on how to mod your GTA with this. I want this so bad!

[bj00rn_]

The motion blur made me nauseous.. Need to see a video without that. But other than that, cool.

[WrikaWrek]

So this guy gets an automatic spot on a video company after doing this right?

Because he clearly needs to be working in games.

[TheSeks]

Hey Cousin, wanna go bowling?

NO FUCK OFF ROMAN, I'M LOOKING AT THE SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN THROUGH THE TREEEESSSSSS.

...Okay, maybe next time?

(Mods out Roman and the rest of the crew that calls)

Suddenly, GTA4 is photo realistic and better!

Gotta admit, this tempts me to buy a boxed retail copy of GTA4 PC for $15. Too bad I don't have the cash or PC. :(

[Sethos]

So this guy gets an automatic spot on a video company after doing this right? Because he clearly needs to be working in games.

Too bad the guy who originally made this gave up because Rockstar cockblocked him constantly.

[ramine]

Looks really impressive. I wonder if there will ever be (or if there have been) cases of official mod endorsement. It would make sense to see mods like this bundled with the game during Steam sales and such, kind of like a GOTY package. Morrowind 2011 and Stalker come to mind too.

[WrikaWrek]

Too bad the guy who originally made this gave up because Rockstar cockblocked him constantly.

Why don't they just offer him a job?

[Mohonky]

This is what I don't understand...the lighting makes it look like their is actually sunlight. It's near perfect. Yet so many games, racing games in particular get this so so wrong (looking at you Forza series).

Surely it can't be hard to get that sort of lighting correct in racing games? Hell PGR4 did it, PGR4 was godly with it's lighting in this respect, especially cloudy races.

I'm hoping Forza 4 uses a lighting palette similar to this.

[MNC]

More screens! Youtube doesn't load in the train I'm in currently :|

[Ceebs]

So is it possible to run this at a steady 30 FPS on current high end hardware? Or will it still stutter on sandy bridge+580?
