Introduction: GTA 4 Remaster Speculations

The video addresses the ongoing rumors and expectations surrounding a potential remaster of GTA 4. It references a previous video from May 12th, where information shared by Testone 2 on GTA Forums was discussed. The author admits to not having followed up on this information due to other news at the time, leading to the details being somewhat overlooked.

GTA 4: HD Port, Not a Remaster

According to Rockstar insider Tez2, the new version of GTA 4 is not a remaster but a port. This information, released a few days after Tez's initial comments, suggests a similar approach to the Red Dead Redemption port from 2023 and 2024, with minor improvements but retaining the original game's core. The author emphasizes that this aligns with what Double Event is capable of.

Double Event's Involvement and Potential Improvements

Double Event, the studio behind the HD port of Red Dead Redemption, is likely to be involved in the GTA 4 project. Their work typically includes adding 4K resolution, DLSS support, improved brightness management, and fixing technical issues to ensure the game runs smoothly on next-gen consoles. The PC version of GTA 4 already provides a solid base for these improvements, potentially reducing the development time needed for the port.

Platform Speculations and DLC Inclusions

The platforms for the GTA 4 port are currently unknown, with speculation pointing towards PS4 and Switch, similar to the Red Dead Redemption release. It's also unclear which version of GTA 4 will be ported, whether it's the base game or the Lost and Damned and Gay Tony DLCs. The author expresses hope that the DLCs will be included, drawing a parallel to Rockstar's handling of Red Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare DLC.

Other Studios and Lessons from the GTA Trilogy

While Double Event is the most likely candidate, Video Games Deluxe (now Rockstar Australia) is another possibility, given their work on the L.A. Noire VR port and improvements to the GTA trilogy. The author contrasts Double Event's approach with the GTA trilogy, where Grove Street Games' work was criticized for distorting the original games' essence. The author praises Double Event for enhancing games without sacrificing their original feel, citing their work on Red Dead Redemption as an example.

Final Thoughts and Community Expectations

The author reiterates that the new GTA 4 release is expected to be an HD port focused on refinement and graphical improvements rather than a complete remaster. They express a desire for the game to be released on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, hoping to avoid the platform limitations of the Red Dead Redemption port. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of clarifying the situation for fans who are still anticipating a full remaster.

0:00 Hey guys, I hope you're doing well. We're going to talk about GTA 4 and its potential remaster. About a month ago, I made the video, I think it was exactly, if I looked right before there, it was May 12th. On May 12, we talked about this. It was Testone 2 who shared the information et cetera. And it turns out that a few days later on GTA Forum, he gave a little more information about that and I didn't process the information at all. I didn't follow up because at that time, there were a lot of things coming out. Anyway, he was a bit of a rock on something else and so the information went a bit unnoticed, it's true, because on social media, I did n't really see it making the rounds much. So basically, it's quite interesting and it's something that we could expect. So the new version of GTA 4 is not a remaster according to Rockstar Insider. So

0:46 it came out on the 15th and the information that Tez had released just before was on the 12th, so a few days before. But this one, as I say, I repeat, it was a little bit overlooked . I still receive messages from people who talk to me about this remaster because many are hoping for a remaster but it seems that this is not the case and it will be logical since you will see that with what is capable of doing sorry this studio so which is double event uh I think that's how we say he double event. Yeah wait I have a doubt I have a huge doubt there. Yes yes double it's good for me as much. And so it would potentially seem that they are the ones working on this subject. So this is a well-known member of R Star Game who gives an update on the new version of GTA 4 that he recently unveiled. These statements allow us to know what we can expect from the release of the new version of GTA 4. In addition, we now know that its production has started. So it's

1:32 something that is a priori proven according to fun and its sources but generally fun bench test. So here is Monday test 2 an insider and confided to a user of GTA forum that a source at Rockstar had hinted at the port of GTA 4 and that the development should have taken 1 year. This means we might even see it released later this year. Fans are clamoring for a remastered version, or even a slightly improved version for current consoles, which naturally makes headlines. Obviously, since the forum went to GTA to clarify the real nature of this project, an insider declared that it is not a remaster but a port. This suggests a similar situation to the 2023 and 2024 port of Red Dead Redemption 2. Some minor but uh interesting improvements but still the same game as before without being remastered.

2:18 This is where I wanted to get to because it was almost obvious. So Double Event which is a studio that did, eh, an independent studio that did the HD port, I'm going to say, of Red Dead Redemption which was originally released in 2010. So they probably ported it to Switch on PlayStation 4 PS5 and then they remastered it and released it for PC. So on PC, we have, we can say, almost the most beautiful version, even if on console the PS5 versions and so on, even the one on Switch, all that, eh, defend themselves quite well. And so, well, they made a lot of games like that, right? In short, and it would seem logically that we are dealing with exactly the same work. That is to say that Rockstar has entrusted the game to Double Event and Double Event will apply their work on it, that is to say put 4K,

3:04 DLSS, in short increase management of the brightness, sorry. uh fix a lot of little technical issues and make the game run on next-gen consoles without any problems. Logically, this should n't be a problem since, for example, with backward compatibility on Xbox, it runs very, very well, even on Xbox Series X or whatever, obviously the graphics aren't those of PC. And that's also where I want to talk about this because uh GTA 4, whether it's for example on Xbox 360, on PS3 and so on, well for the time, it's still coming together well but we still feel that it's getting old. On the other hand, on PC, the game is extremely interesting. the game in full graphics and so on, frankly, the game is really good. So that means that already from the base, so Double Event has a PC base, from GTA 4 which is not at all bad. The game is really, I won't say 100% up to date yet, but it's really,

3:49 really good. So , that means that they probably don't need a lot of years, I'll say, of development and fine-tuning around this GTA 4 project for the HD port because there's already a very good base on PC. So obviously, we have to do a whole lot of work again to make sure it works well on consoles. Anyway, you get the idea that it definitely takes a lot of time. So more information. T also said he didn't know what platform this port would be available on. Some fans believe it will be a PS4 and Switch version, as Red Mion was released on these platforms in 2023. He also has no information on which version of GTA 4 he is working on. Whether it's the base version or the Los Andamned and Getoni DLC which are amazing DLCs. I wish they would encompass

4:35 a bit of everything since Rockstar remade both the regular Red Redemption and the Handy Nightmare with the zombie DLC which is amazing. Besides, we really should play it again. It might also be amazing to think about Getoni and Zand Damlet which are two really good DLCs. T also stated that he was unsure which studio was handling the port, though many speculated that Rockstar would handle it themselves. Others after reviewing recent Rion ports have suggested that Double Event might be involved in the project. And there is even a case of Video Games Deluxe who made this port of Helenoir from the VR version and the recent improvements of the GTA trilogy. Rockstar bought the studio this year and became Rockstar Australia as well. That's definitely it, I hadn't talked about it because, well, there you go, but uh, maybe do a retweet on social media or something.

5:21 But uh, that's also a possibility, but quite honestly, for me, it's almost certain that it's two people who are taking care of it. I'm in, it's almost obvious. Besides, at the time in video, I told you when I saw the work that Double Event had done on Red Redemption 1 because it didn't distort the game. It was still very, very beautiful. The improvements they had made were truly remarkable. Game quality, draw distance, 4K, in short, DLSS, everything that goes with it. uh everything that really allowed to have boosted graphics, to embellish the game eh on its base, of course. I really thought it was strong and in fact it didn't distort the soul of the game in this case, something that had really hurt at the time, Grove Street with precisely the GTA trilogy. Besides, I do n't even know how Rockstar knows their love for, uh, the authentic side of wanting to have their own

6:07 vision of things and so on. how much the management at Rockstar at that time when GTA trilogy came out, the guys said to themselves when they saw that it was good. So when we saw it ourselves, remember in the video, I was the first and you were the first in the comments section to say "Damn, it looks like a cartoon, what the hell is this?" So I do n't even understand how Grove Street was able to release this product. I feel like Rockstar didn't want to give them that much time anymore. They said, "Okay, that's it, we've put too much into the project, now we have to get out, it has to work, guys." And that's why it was, uh, it was a failure, so I'm not going to say a resounding failure because, well, it's playable and so on, but deep down, we were losing a little of the soul of what were these legendary GTAs, GTA 3, Vice City and Saint Andreas. So Double Event is really doing a good job and uh in video, I had already talked about it, I had said that it was potentially a hypothesis that I was making and that I was almost

6:53 sure of myself to say to myself that if they had worked well for this Red Dead Redemption 1, which is the case, there is a good chance that potentially they will make other games for us and it would seem that well a priori according to the thesis and its sources et cetera, all this has been in development for about a year and that finally at the time I am speaking to you, but if we go back in time compared to there is about more than a month for the information when it was leaked and if he released it some time after having it. So in short, more than a year, it's possible that we'll have a GTA 4 but in HD port guys. No remaster with a complete overhaul of the game, graphics, textures. In short, in short, in short, this will really aim to refine it, improve it and make it more beautiful. I would love for it to come out, eh, on PC, it's cool and so on. I also play on PC, it's crazy but it would be

7:39 nice if it came out on console for Xbox Series X and S, PS5. and so on and so forth. Honestly, it would be amazing because there was a bit of a bitter taste, I'll say when Rockstar ported Red Dead and they only put it on PS4 and Switch and so on. There was also an HD version, well a 60 fps page for the PS5, but hey, we already had it on Xbox, uh, but there was still a difference. Honestly, those who said there was no difference, uh I may have said that too at the time when I saw the trailer images, but in fact in the game it has nothing to do with it. The game is really very very beautiful. A Red Dead Redemption PC. released, I mean, rather recently, frankly, it's incredible. So there we have it, we've pretty much covered that. I really wanted to clarify the situation and say that this would be more of an HD port. It's very

8:24 important because people still send me messages saying, "Oh, Vince, what's the remaster like? I can't wait to see a remaster, it could be amazing." Unfortunately guys, that's not the case. For those who saw the information, I'm not telling you much, but for those who haven't seen it, it's important that I follow up on this video that I made a month ago. But as I told you, in the meantime, it's been a real mess, a real mess. Mafia the country the news, I was sent the trailers, I had to make all the videos I was also assisting in the meantime. We were talking fire and fire, but hey, it's not so bad. The more activity there is, the happier everyone is . It was Vince your opinion in the comments space was to be expected. Even I thought a remaster was weird, but I would have signed up anyway. Listen, even if tomorrow they tell us it's officially a remaster, I'm perfectly happy, but it seems a priori that it's more of an HD port. It's not so bad. Then it's to do like The Event did on Red Dead

9:11 Redemption. I am now signing the petition immediately. It was Vince. Take good care of yourself. Your opinion in the comments section. We'll see if that happens. I really hope so. We're also talking about that, and precisely about the apparently next-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2. It could be really incredible to have two Rockstar games already released before, but you get the idea of re-releases coming out. This could bring a breath of fresh air to the Rockstar community. Well, not totally fresh, but you get the idea . At least a draft. You are the boss. Take good care of yourself. Hello everyone, my little friends. [Music]
