I think he was joking with that sub 30 FPS part, the mod is just some Day of Time settings and a couple of extra effects added. That's not going to bring a 570 to it's knees.

Funny, it's bringing my 5970 to its knees because there's new shaders! It's not just a few colours and some bloom people. The reflection also takes a massive toll on the system, most of those 'photorealistic' screenshots you see, the reflection count has been ramped up big-time, beyond playable levels. Don't get fooled people, just because it's running on lower end machines, doesn't mean it's playable or enjoyable.

[SwiftSketcher]

HOLY ****

Taking notes Rockstar? Actually, taking notes every dev? It kind of looks like if Naughty Dog took on GTA.

But lol at people thinking next-gen won't even at least look like this.

[Slayer-33]

In fairness, it looks 'hyper real', like a HDR'd photograph or high quality 3D render. It's still a long way from being what I'd call "fucking real".

C'mon man for what it is, it looks like someone took a shot of some random city with a camera and applied some filters.


It just need more sharpness I guess.

[Sethos]

edit - anyone know the specific rendition of Scarborough Faire going on in this video's music? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awwxdumyfBY

All I know is, it's called instrumental

[KilgoreTrout]

Holy shitballs.

[Noisepurge]

Very nice! I wonder if the next gen console GTA 5 can even be on this level... (it better be!)

[dk_]

Wow, that's truly amazing!

[Saren is Bad]

I had thought that myself until I played the ENB mod for GTA4, The Witcher 2, and most recently with the DX11 patch for Crysis 2. Just some fucking crazy shit going on with graphics these days. I mean, CG cutscenes 6 years ago didn't look as good as some of this in-game stuff. You're just being a smartass, right? Oh nm, you want 60fps. I wouldn't expect it, even with that rig.

Ha, quoted before the edit, but I was mainly asking if there are SLI issues to be aware of with the setup. Obviously it should run well, kinda suprised by no 60.

[Stallion Free]

Taking notes Rockstar? Actually, taking notes every dev? It kind of looks like if Naughty Dog took on GTA.

I don't even understand.

[Anth0ny]

Now if only the game played as good as that looks!

If next gen consoles can deliver on this level... crazy.

[Suairyu]

C'mon man for what it is, it looks like someone took a shot of some random city with a camera and applied some filters. It just need more sharpness I guess.

Sharpness isn't the issue. And yeah, for what it is - realtime graphics - it's incredible. Trust me, I'm not complaining. This is probably the most impressive graphical achievement in terms of mimicking real life I've ever seen. I'm just saying it still has a ways to go.

[GrayFoxPL]

Why all this work to mod such shitty game? :P

[Trojita]

So where is the cheapest place to get GTA4 for the PC? (Without using Steam since that avenue seems shot)

Looks great.

I can't believe this is including Rockstars shitty job at porting GTA4 to PC.

[WoodenLung]

Skimping through the thread and the mod side I didn't see anything but does this work with the expansions too? I already finished GTA4 but would like to play both episodes with this on.

[scar tissue]

If next gen consoles can deliver on this level... crazy.

i'm pretty sure those graphics would be considered average on a console that comes out in 2012-2013 (wii u lolol)
launch titles on ps4/xbox infinite will look as good as this, i'd say
anything else would be wii levels of fail

[SwiftSketcher]

I don't even understand.

Something about the color and texture choices give me a U2/3 vibe. This GTA mod looks better hands down, but I dunno, it just came to mind while watching.

[El Sloth]

Do the cars deform when they impact something? I noticed that the fellow in the trailer conveniently didn't get into any accidents...

[Slayer-33]

I can't believe that some mods caused this drastic ass change lol...

Ridiculous... Most devs need to learn that lighting is probably the biggest game changer.

[nelsonroyale]

Holy shit......! That looks like a different game altogether...

[IamMikeside]

edit: lol, ignore me it didn't work :S

[Leonsito]

Everything looks great but that glow under the wheels :(

[Dipswitch]

So, I'm assuming this will make the game run worse, correct? It looks pisser, but I'm gonna be playing GTA IV/EFLC for the first time soon and I'm looking to get the game running at at least 25-30 FPS. I have a feeling this mod won't help me reach that goal.

I'm running a Core 2 Quad @ 2.8GHZ and a HD4870 with 1GB of memory btw.

[Sethos]

So, I'm assuming this will make the game run worse, correct?

Yes, very much so.

[Eiji]

Apart from mod compatibility, is update 1.0.4.0 better than 1.0.7.0?

[Slayer-33]

Everything looks great but that glow under the wheels :(

Rice yo.

[Sethos]

Apart from mod compatibility, is update 1.0.4.0 better than 1.0.7.0?

Not really. 1.0.7.0 does bring some great changes, better performance due to new shaders etc. but it does break a lot of mod compatibility but more and more mods are moving to 1.0.7.0

[Wazzim]

Do the cars deform when they impact something? I noticed that the fellow in the trailer conveniently didn't get into any accidents...

Never played GTAIV? Ofcourse they have damage.

[Nostalgia~4ever]

I hope GTA5 will have actual destruction. It is annoying that you cannot blow up buildings in GTA4.

[Noisepurge]

Do the cars deform when they impact something? I noticed that the fellow in the trailer conveniently didn't get into any accidents...

Atleast in vanilla GTA4 they do?

[StevieP]

so on a scale from 3 to 15 what are the chances that next gen of consoles can do something like this?

2.

[SneakyStephan]

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

Glad someone else said it so I don't have to.

This lighting and these textures seem good enough for photorealism (gta modded textures ARE incredible).
It just looks so believable.
Now we just need better trees , get rid of that ugly lod transition pop up and mod the pedestrians to something crazy and we are close enough.

Next gta is bound to be a dissapointment at release compared to this, especially if it gets released for the current crop of consoles as another multiplat port to pc or if rockstar fuck with modding even more.

@ shadow: it's not just lighting, also motion blur, depth of field, modded textures (huge difference in quality) , incredibly detailed car models (some original work, some based on forza 3 highest lod models that you only see in menus in that game :lol).

And if that really runs at on a 5750 1GB smoothly without fraps (which is the equivalent of a high end card 4 years ago, but with sm4.0 support) then rockstar could indeed have done a LOT better on pc.

[Mechanical Snowman]

I said holy shit.

Never played GTAIV? Ofcourse they have damage.

Pretty sure he was talking about the modded cars. I'd like to know if the real time deformation happens to modded vehicles as well.

I doubt I'll be able to run that mod on my laptop but I sure as hell want those cars for vanilla.

[Acrylic7]

very nice visuals.

Wish Rockstar could make this standard for GTA. That looks convincing.

[Zombie James]

Looks fucking incredible. What kind of hardware was this running on?

[El Sloth]

Never played GTAIV? Ofcourse they have damage.

Those car models were made by a modder (or a team of modders, I'm not sure on the details) not Rockstar. If they were feeling lazy they could have left out any damage modeling.

[chriskun]

Maybe because how the cars handled isn't in the top dozen of the reasons why that game was fantastic?

I can't believe that people were brainwashed into thinking this game was "fantastic". Its ok, but its completely inferior to the earlier games in the series in almost every way imaginable.

[zoukka]

Looks very blurry.

[Ultratech]

HOLY SHIT.

That looks damn amazing. Now I gotta get GTAIV and a computer that could handle all of that.

[Wazzim]

Pretty sure he was talking about the modded cars. I'd like to know if the real time deformation happens to modded vehicles as well. I doubt I'll be able to run that mod on my laptop but I sure as hell want those cars for vanilla.

I had my game running with some mods (ENB and extra cars) and they had damage.

Looks very blurry.

Still less blurry than vanilla GTAIV.

[nelsonroyale]

He is running on 5750....that card is far, far from high end these days...next gen hardware will most likely smoke that card...hell even my laptop card beats it handily (gtx 485)

[UrbanRats]

Apart from mod compatibility, is update 1.0.4.0 better than 1.0.7.0?

NO.

[ascii42]

It's weird seeing real cars in GTA.

[SneakyStephan]

To people sceptical about this running on next gen consoles: The guy who made the video ran this on a Mac with a 5750. To put that in perspective, even the Wii U should be able to easily do what was in the video, never mind the next Sony and MS consoles.

Did Wii U rumors change again then or something? A 5750 is a bit better than a 4850 , which was like the best case scenario for a wii according to IGN rumors right? And where people got the 4-5x figure from? Which then turned out to be bollox and more of a 50 percent figure according to devs? (not final specs and underclocking -boo hoo so it's 60 percent instead of 50 then- aside)

Aka nowhere near as good as that 5750, anyhow I'm going to drop this now, it has nothing to do with this thread and frankly who gives a fuck.

Also kinda weird that this shader genius from the vid doesn't know how to work fraps or doesn't have a second HDD to hook up to record.

There's a difference between running and running well. It wouldn't even be considered a smooth experience on my 5970

I thought it was fishy, even vanilla gta4 doesn't run that great on my 4870, let alone with the texture pack and cranked up shader effects.

[X26]

even vanilla GTA4 on its own is one of the ebst looking games of the last few years, this is just amazing

[StevieP]

This. Unless your response to this is "physics be damned".

[zoukka]

Progress I guess.

[Dennis]

Looks very blurry.

Yes. I don't know if its the mod or the screenshot takers but every pic posted is very blurry which is a bad minus.

[Afrikan]

I hope GTA5 will have actual destruction. It is annoying that you cannot blow up buildings in GTA4.

hey, we had it on the o'l PlayStation.

[Jtwo]

That looks like a badass game. I want to play it.
