Who knew GTA IV could look this good?!

Just saw this on IGN. looks fucking awesome, the lighting in particular really sells these screens as being photoreal. It blew my mind this was gta 4, completely overhauled. I'm tempted to grab the game on steam just to check it out. here are some screens. and here is a link to the Mod for any one interested. I sure as hell know I am.

(Don't try it on your VAC-protected games guys)
why are all those images thumbnails? i had to click a few links before i found a screenshot at fullres, suddenly it doesn't look that revolutionary.
That mod looks like that would soon change things though :P
This.
That mod inspired my purchase of GTA4 on PC and it's like watching a slideshow on my PC rather than playing a game.
My comp is by no means ultra high end but it's not that bad (SB 3Ghz i7, 8gb ram, gtx475). If anyone could enlighten me on how to get it to run at anything above about 15fps I'm all ears.
The only way I've managed a stable, enjoyable framerate is by changing my settings to 'Xbox 360'.
I played it on a friends core2quad with a 8800gt and 4 gigs ram, and it ran better than xbox 360 settings, at 40 fps, I remember it is very processor heavy and that was right after the game was released.
Not sure if anyone's checked out this guys site but does some pretty amazing photos with GTA4 and ENB: http://deadendthrills.com/

I have a laptop <_<
I just can't save my game because I don't feel terribly inclined to make a Games for Windows live account. This mod is.. pretty cool looking? I mean i'm not too huge on making stuff as "realistic" as possible but it looks pretty good compared to most attempts to do the sajme thing.
Supposedly 1.3 will fix this right?
i have a single nvidia gtx260 i7 running at like 2.8 and 6 gigs of ram. i dont understand what everyone is talking about this game running slow. granted, im not running at my full screen res, im running at like 1600. but without this mod i can get a solid 60 fps and with it, 40ish.
i think it was bad when it first was released, but gotten better since they patched it.
I want to play this.
Sometimes.. it might be better to have things look uniformly less than real than to have some stuff look outstanding and then have a few things look very artificial by comparison.
For example, 3 people so far have contributed to the shaders, 2 have done the revamp of the cars, and 1 for lighting, and from what I gathered, this guys never came into contact with one another until this major project collection idea came along a few months ago.
No one I know of so far has done any major changes to the organic assets in the game, I guess anyone who knows how to make trees are working for SpeedTree.

I'm going to play devils advocate here and say no to photo-realistic murder simulators. This is probably a minority view here but i just think games should look like games.
you dont have to do this, if in steam right click on properties and validate integrity. it will fix whatever the mod overwrites. takes a while to fix but not nearly as long as a full reinstall.
so like 20 minutes tops?
nice screenshots!
can't figure out if trolling or not.
I'll be honest, as much as I enjoyed the most recent AVP game, the Predator trophy kills of the marines were too much for me, so I can see what you might mean.
That is absolutely gorgeous. I cried a little. :poly136:
That you can actually knock down by driving into them at 120MPH.
Looks great!
But you can snap lamp-posts clean off the ground... got any pics of cars doing that?
point taken...
Unlikely.
Touche!
Yes, the sadistic undertones the AVP Game had where really disturbing.
And I have to agree that games should still look like games... but I guess the evolution of graphics is unstopable.
I just remember how I saw those primitive first 3D Games as a child and how a kid these days must see a game like GTA4... I'm not sure if we reached a point where videogames COULD do actual damage.

Not all games are Space Marines, and Demon Lords.
Heavy Rain could've had additional realism, and I would have welcomed it.
Same goes for all sports simulations, and more immersive experiences.
The experience of GTA greatly benefits from this mod.
