It won’t be the mid to late 2000s proper now, however that is not for an absence of attempting on the behalf of publishers eager to get us all enjoying the likes of Oblivion and Gears of War once more. Because it seems, Rockstar Video games could be on that record too, with a leaker having claimed a GTA 4 port for contemporary {hardware} may drop this 12 months.
Yep, contemporary off of GTA 6‘s delay to subsequent 12 months, adopted by trailer two and all that new information, there’s now chatter a few traditional entry within the sequence making a return.
These claims come from Tez2, a long-time leaker/dataminer of all issues Rockstar, who responded to somebody asking a few “potential GTA IV “remaster”/port for contemporary gen consoles” on the GTAForums.
“Somebody at Rockstar hinted on the IV port, and by now it ought to’ve gone up a 12 months in growth,” the leaker wrote, “We might find yourself seeing it drop later this 12 months. And it is another reason, along with present causes, the LCPP mod was taken down.
“In the event that they nonetheless comply with their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they will do an MP3 port after IV. In order that is a chance to do a bundle or a Definitive Version. Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, and a Max Payne 3 port.”
So, a GTA 4 port and presumably Max Payne 3 additionally getting a re-release, if their claims a few pre-pandemic plan nonetheless presumably being on the playing cards grow to be true. Nonetheless, as with all leaks, greatest to take it with a grain of salt till we all know for positive one thing’s coming.
It is also fascinating that Tez has instructed such a port is a purpose that the Liberty Metropolis Preservation Undertaking mod was issued with a takedown request earlier this 12 months. Should you’re out of the loop, the mod introduced a re-creation of GTA 4’s Liberty Metropolis to GTA 5, letting you are taking to the streets of LC as Michael, Trevor, or Franklin. Naturally, its therapy sparked hypothesis that Rockstar may very well be planning on doing one thing official with GTA 4.
That stated, as we have seen with Oblivion Remastered and Skyblivion, a traditional sport getting an official remaster/port doesn’t always have to mean the end of mods that’re doing comparable stuff. It is as much as totally different studios and publishers how they need to strategy coping with such fan tasks, making it dangerous to only assume {that a} correct port should be coming due to LCPP biting the mud.
Are you determined to play a GTA 4 port throughout the anticipate GTA 6? Is it a sport that you just suppose may do with the complete remaster therapy, or only a less complicated re-release? Tell us under.
