By far one of the best looking mod ever made...

*Picks up jaw*

*Jaw drops again*

This looks ridiculous.

What a shame, I have the steam version so that means that I'm on 1.0.7.0 and the mod requires 1.0.4.0. :x

None the less, the mod looks absolutely gorgeous. :o

maybe its just the blurriness of the video or the fact i played this on the 360 but this looks like some next gen stuff :O

Looks brilliant. Best visual modification of GTA IV I've seen yet.

He says in the comments that it will work with the latest patches + EFLC, so there is hope.

Looks awesome, shame gta4 doesn't use SLI well though. My powerhouse doesn't shine in this game. I'll have to give this a try anyway though.

from the uploader, on what it requires

It will. Of course it will.

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 .Uploader

impressed

Looks amazing, OP. Thanks. I just installed it and so far it's running smooth at 1920x1200 with everything on high for me; using 5850 Saphhire Toxic, 8 gigs of ram and a 965x4 clocked to 4.2ghz. I guess I'll have to do some serious missions to see if the framerate drops ridiculously.

Whoever made this mod should be hired by Rockstar or some company that does console ports. Those graphics are godlike.

I'm going to get this as soon as my cap is back to full lol.

The visuals look much better, but my gta flickers and characters studder when I use this. Couldn't find anyone with the same problem.

Cool, but how bout gameplay mods.. You know actually make the game a real sandbox game.sSubZerOo

lol not a real sandbox game? Have you even played the game?

You can do so much funny crap and the physics are incredible for a sandbox game.

Just check out this vid for example:

Does this look to you like it's anything other than a real sandbox game?

@topic: the mod looks incredible, i will download it as soon as it's available.

Wow... that's is really really cool. Hope to try that soon for sure.

That was alot more impressive then i thought it would be. Glad I haven't beaten GTAIV yet. An incomplete game+ fantastic overhaul=huge incentive to come back. Also i've found justification to buy a new gaming rig.

I did not realize it was available at the time of the article. So I downloaded and wow I was just blown away. The colors have really brought the city to life. For the first 5 minutes, it was straining my eyes because I just wasn't used to something like that. Definitely heats up my system, but I'm happy my computer can handle it.

i kind of agree with the quoted guy... i guess my initial perception of sandbox was more variety and freedom, but gta 4 is probably one of the "freeest" games out there, which kind of disappoints me a little

i mean, outside of driving cars really fast around a city that you cant really mold at all and messing with the physics, what can you truly due? The moment you try to attack people, the police are on you, sometimes driving really fast, the police are on you. I wish there was at least a cheat to turn police off.

also, i kind of wish there was a sort of faction thing, kinda like in mafia (the original one, i only played on the wii). it's mob gang war feature was really cool.it made me feel the world was sort of alive, and i was helping to mold it.

GTA4 felt more like a playground then a sandbox. Kind of like how in crysis, you can mess around with lots of stuff, but you never really get ultimate freedom to shape anything important.

anyway, side rant here, Not saying GTA4 isnt a sandbox game, just saying that i have a skewed expectance of the sandbox genre :P i do understand that what i want is extremely hard to make while having a coherent story or actual ai or not using up monster system specs

I'm gonna have to wait for the updated version that works with steam.:cry:

That is absolutely amazing! Makes me wish I had the extra cash lying around to buy an up to date rig, aha..

first hit on google for cheats and I found this...:|

Remove Niko's wanted level

Dial "2675550100" on the cell phone.Note:This phone number translates to "COP-555-0100". This code prevents the "One Man Army" and "Walk Free" achievements from being earned.

This is absolutely amazing work. Further proof that PC gaming is and always will be superior to consoles. I do so love modding communities.

So is ICEnhancer 1.2 the only mod I need for my GTA to look like that?millerlight89

That looks okay but this is much better.

Looks interesting, but I think it might make the game look too good - and highlights some of the issues with the game like cars that seem to float and slide around. Also, the somewhere the demonstration system is bottlenecking as it keeps freezing for one or two seconds. IMO if the graphics were toned down slightly (using a slightly lower def texture map) then it wouldn't have as many freezes and still look nice.

It was freezing in the demo because the guy was using fraps, which kills your framerate. Also, consider that he was running the game on an iMac. Look at the video maker's specs in the comments. I ran the game yesterday for a couple of hours with everything on high and it didn't slow down at all.

Is it sad I went out and bought a retail copy of the game just to play this mod?

Yeah... it's sad.
