A leaker claims a GTA 4 remaster is in the works, along with two other Grand Theft Auto games!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GTA 4 continues to be one of the highest-rated video games of all time, receiving high scores for its characters, story, open-world and more. Despite this, Grand Theft Auto 4 remains mostly stuck on older consoles, and while it is backwards compatible on Xbox, running it on Series X is notoriously problematic. However, it seems that a remastered version of GTA 4 may be forthcoming<\/a> at some point if recent rumours are to be believed.<\/p>\n

Xfire reports that a remaster of Grand Theft Auto 4 is already in the works.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, the report doesn’t give a specific release date for the GTA 4 remaster, saying only that “one is planned, sooner rather than later”. The report also says that the Grand Theft Auto 4 remaster will be bundled with “two other GTA games”, although which ones have yet to be revealed. One obvious possibility does emerge, however.<\/p>\n

The two other GTA games mentioned in the report may be expansions of Grand Theft Auto 4, which once enjoyed a separate release from the base game. These expansions were Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost and the Damned and Grand Theft Auto 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony, both of which were critically acclaimed and added many new features to the GTA 4 experience.<\/p>\n

A remaster of Grand Theft Auto 4 is far from the first time it’s been mentioned, and given the game’s massive success, a remastered release seems logical.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive has made it clear that it plans to release more remakes and remasters in the coming years, so it would be somewhat surprising if a Grand Theft Auto 4 remaster is not a reality for the time being. However, fans should continue to keep their expectations in check, at least until there is an official announcement from Rockstar Games or Take-Two.<\/p>\n

If a GTA 4 remaster ever happens, it will be interesting to see how it is handled. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was panned by fans and critics alike for its shoddy remaster of classic games, so it would be unfortunate if GTA 4 were to suffer a similar fate. However, if the developers can simply improve the graphics of Grand Theft Auto 4 while leaving the gameplay experience largely intact, then success is almost inevitable.<\/p>\n

Of course, some would also like to see changes to the GTA 4 experience if the rumoured remaster is completed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, Grand Theft Auto 4’s driving has long been criticised as one of the game’s weak points, so it might be best for Rockstar to change that with a remaster. Something else to keep in mind is that Grand Theft Auto 4 had a multiplayer mode, so it would be interesting to see if this is revived in a remaster or shelved.<\/p>\n
