Fans Eager for a GTA 4 Remaster!

GTA enthusiasts have been fervently wishing for a remaster of Grand Theft Auto IV, and with the recent delays of GTA 6, it seems their dreams might soon become a reality. If the latest whispers from a Rockstar insider are to be believed, not only is GTA IV set to be ported to modern consoles, but Max Payne 3 may also follow suit!

Insider Tez2 Drops Major Hints!

Tez2, known for his reliable scoops related to Rockstar Games, recently shared some tantalizing information on the GTA Forums. He revealed that one of his sources—connected to Rockstar—hinted at a potential port of GTA IV. With the release of GTA VI pushed back to 2026, Tez believes this long-awaited remaster might actually land as early as this year!

The Liberty City Mod Drama!

Earlier this year, the popular Liberty City Preservation Project mod was surprisingly taken down by Rockstar. Fans quickly speculated that this action indicated the imminent development of a GTA IV remaster. Tez suggested that the mod's removal was indeed related to the forthcoming port, adding to the excitement and buzz surrounding its potential launch.

What We Know About GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption Remasters!

Back in 2022, Tez indicated that remasters of GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption were on the horizon. However, the underwhelming feedback regarding the GTA Trilogy remasters had initially put these plans in limbo. Now, with renewed interest following the delay of GTA VI, the remasters may be back on track, potentially paving the way for a GTA IV re-release.

Max Payne 3 Could Join the Party!

Tez also noted that pre-pandemic plans included a remaster of Max Payne 3. If those plans still stand, we might see it launched around the same timeline as the anticipated remakes of Max Payne 1 & 2, potentially leading to an exciting bundle offering.

Why Remaster GTA 4?

Although GTA IV is playable on newer Xbox consoles through backward compatibility, its absence on platforms like the PS5 and PS4 means that a remaster would expose a new generation of gamers to Liberty City in a fresh way. Imagine running the game at a smooth 60FPS across all consoles!

Rockstar's Winning Strategy!

After seeing the success of the Red Dead Redemption re-release on multiple platforms, it’s clear that Rockstar has the potential to create a fantastic port of GTA IV. Given the right treatment, this could become one of the most celebrated remasters in gaming history.
