Modded GTA IV is graphics king.

Got the game about a week ago off steam, and decided to mess around with some mods today. Without a doubt the best looking game on any platform with the right mod configurations.

Thats just me though

I don't agree but the mods make it look very nice..

Here is a video; Mine looks similar to his.

No s***!? I never claimed wether GTA IV in any state is/is not was/was not graphics king. I merely made a statement...and apparently touched a nerve.

What mods are those?

Cool. What kind of framerate are you getting in 1080P with these mods?

Car and environment king, characters all look like garbage though :D. Also poor optimization king.Inconsistancy

Yes apparently you did touch your own nerve, since you are awfully snappy at someone explaining something to you.

Don't get preachy. And at least according to the GS review all this mod does is cover up flaws.

On graphical mods - Just because you can download mods like, for example, Complete 2009 doesn't automatically mean that Shadow of Chernobyl suddenly became a better looking (or better game). It just means that some flaws were covered up with something pretty.

Just cause 2 looks better, it just doesn't have a realistic artstyle.

Says you.

So Crysis 2 is the graphics king? We all know vanilla Crysis is pretty bad now.

Grawse

I've only ever played vanilla Crysis - and I've only ever played it on or around High. I also fail to see how it is "pretty bad"...unless its AI we're dealing with.

Oh yeah, is there a mod like that for EFLC? I played through GTA 4 twice on 360 and feel sick just thinking about doing it again.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game. I beat it in 2008.... 3 years ago.

I'm not sure I follow. Graphical mods don't suddenly make the game look better yet they cover up flaws with something pretty? I'm confused. :|MrSelf-Destruct

It may just boil down to a matter of perspective - and I'll use Shadow of Chernobyl as an example. Adding the Complete 2009 mod doesn't mean that the actual game of Shadow of Chernobyl is any better/worse it just means that you have covered up some of the games flaws -- in this case the graphics. The game itself is still good just with the graphical flaws covered by something pretty.

I may have phrased my comment incorrectly, but: I do not think of mods as something that makes the core game better but as something that covers up something in the game that is either lacking or could have been done better.

I would use GTA IV as the example (which would be more fitting since this is a thread about GTA IV) but I haven't played the game on the PC

As for photoshop, I;m not nearly skilled enough with photoshop to touch up pictures, most I can do is create gifs.

So basically someone modded GTA4 to look photoreal like PGR4

So what if SOMEONE MODDED PGR4?

And a system should be judged on what it can do with those games. PC ftw.

They would get a decent looking racing game?

You would have better car models, higher res road textures, better foliage, and handling tweaks.

I never thought I'd say this, but between how pretty this is and BF3 I actually want a gaming PC. Why do I have to be a broke college student?! :cry:
