While AbSoLuT_b is trying hard to keep the site running by posting tons of news each day, I have been keeping myself busy with the now famous iCEnhancer mod which gives Grand Theft Auto IV a photo realistic look. Not eveyrthing is perfect though, but then again, I'm using the beta version of the mod so it makes sense. Kudos to ICE La Glace for his work as I can even run the game at 30 to 55 fps depending on the situation. Here is a first video captured in 1080p and 30 fps and a bunch of homemade screenshots so you can see what it's all about. If you want to try it out yourself, here is the address where to download it.
Update: Another short video added.
Update 2: Added a gallery using the same mod but with replaced vehicles, screens by Miguel and Blades.

It's still GTA4 and I hate GTA4.
Actually the only one I liked a bit was GTA3. (when GTA felt fresh/new)
Mod looks good though, kudos to Ice.
Certainly I can't wait to see how much the tech has improved with GTAV. Red Dead Redemption looks incredible.

I personally find GTAIV (I have the PS3 complete ed) to be embarrasing to look at and play since I am aware of how long a game can be in development for.
These PC GTA "Real" mods have been around for since GTA3 and its ok I guess when you have a fanatical obsession and refuse to move onto other game than GTAIV but unfortunately other than skins, these mods add nothing new, they do not use the hardware reguardless of frame rate reports.
And its kind of disappointing to think that some "fanperson" has to improve an old game when the game developer who engineered and programmed and applied creative energies just could not do the same.
At best its just another novelty but seriously there are much more games out there and I prefer to either replay an old unaltered game classic or a new current release, the people who download this will probably enjoy it and good for them I guess I am just annoyed that a game has to be improved not by the game dev but by fanpersons, specially when they are broken overhyped messes like Crysis 1/Warhead/2
Do you in your infinite and very expensive PC intelligence have any concept or grasp on what "custom game programming" and "refined 3d engines" are? oh wait that super expensive $500 per component PC is so not a "toybox" that it magically fixes all the broken A.I., broken game programming, broken etc that makes that platform famous, I bet it even fixes the disloyal pirates.

Another console fanboy who is overly sensitive and can't read. I was quoting someone when I said that. Lighten up.
I also just built a new PC and went extremely over-the-top and not a single component was $500. There's only one component on the market that is $500 (not counting dual GPU configs). Hyperbole is fun, aint it?
