For the Grand Theft Auto fans, they might be waiting for the next mainline game in the series after it was delayed, but Rockstar might be planning a GTA 4 remake, or at least a port, before they can roam around the new map. An industry insider called Tez2 brought out this new rumor, where he said this on a GTA forum:
Someone at R* hinted at the IV port, and by now it should’ve gone up a year in development. We may end up seeing it drop later this year. And it’s one more reason, in addition to existing reasons, the LCPP mod was taken down. If they still follow their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they’ll do an MP3 port after IV. So that is an opportunity to do a bundle or a Definitive Edition. Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, and a Max Payne 3 port.
The game was originally released in 2008 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows. While GTA 6 will again feature the infamous Vice City, the PS3 game was set in another famous fictional town, Liberty City. Following its release, it became one of the top games for the seventh generation of video games. Moreover, that still stands as one of the best games to date.
GTA 4 Remake Gets Some Support From a Former Developer
Now that the news is spreading, one of the Grand Theft Auto developers shows support for a remaster of the game. He isn’t abreast of any such rumor, but this game certainly deserves one after a number of successful remasters have come forward lately.
So many remasters and remakes have surfaced in the last few years and fans have loved them. These games include Alan Wake in 2021, the first two from the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series in 2016 and 2022, Resident Evil 4 in 2023, and more. Remakes have been a source of joy for gamers lately, as we aren’t really getting many new games amid the struggling video game industry. However, Split Fiction and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 were a couple of recent ones that garnered a fair share of attention from the fans recently.
