GTA IV to PS4?

Why hasn't this happened yet? I understand that the game's source code was built for the Cell/RSX architecture and that PS3 runs on NVidia while PS4 runs on AMD, but the original LA Noire was built on a custom engine designed with PlayStation 3's Cell processor in mind and is now on PS4 as a remastered version.

So why hasn't it happened yet and will it ever happen?

What is with the current obsession with porting old games to new systems? Fuck off. Buy a PS3 if you want to play it.

I don't think he is asking for a port. He is asking for a remaster with the new RAGE engine

It would make the current-gen consoles look bad with how horribly it would run

I have two PS3's you mong.

Imagine if you had actual backwards compatibility

Because there's already GTAV and it's fucking huge since release to this day for some reason. Rockstar has no motivation to port old games to newer consoles, the only reason LA Noire got it was due to experimenting with VR and using it to test the waters on the Switch.

the only last gen R* game that needs re-releasing is MP3

rev those fucking online deathmatches up

LA Noire aged better visually and had a competent PC port to work with.

The purpose of a game engine is to make your game portable to different platforms without re-writing massive chunks of the game code, so I doubt that's the issue. Then again, it seems like their games are held together by duct tape, so who knows.

Still they've re-released III, VC and SA to both PS3 and PS4.

pretty sure the right answer is 'because no one gives a shit about GTAIV'

Aren't those just part of Sony's limited backwards compatibility program?

>because no one gives a shit about GTA IV
That's where your wrong kiddo.

they were released as ps2 classics. Sony basically did all the heavy lifting.
then R* ported the mobile versions, which are basically cheap whores, to everything.

ps2 is still the superior version

because it's fine on ps3?

>wojack poster
>gtaiv fan
unsurprising

bet you like the driving the most

>Not liking GTA4 driving.
Not even him. But you're a faggot, my man.

Yeah I like it - but not the most, what's your favorite GTA pleb?

setting the precident of porting games from the previous generation because idiots will buy it is a shit idea.

The PS3 version is atrocious. It's one of the games where it both managed to run at a noticeably lower resolution than the 360 and have worse framerate.

SA
I like driving in the clouds

I wouldn't be surprised to see it released on mobile as it's the ten year anniversary. They did the same with 3, VC and SA

I want to play it at a functioning FPS

This, even LA Noire gets more attention from Rockstar and everybody else.

Fuck you could pirate it and it would probably not run cuz lol securom.

Sony niggers are such fucking subhuman trash

threads like this prove this fanbase is fucking irredeemable and would bend over backwards for anything

>playing GTA IV on the fucking PS3
>begging for it to be made playable at a somewhat better framerate

absolute scum of gaming

3, VC and SA were just the PC version made even more accessible from a technical standpoint.
not that they're great ports to begin with mind you, SA in particular, it's just that they're light enough to brute force through the shit coding

IV ain't getting the same treatment
modern computers have a hard time running it
fucking atrocious

It goes SA>IV>V>VC>III for the 3D games.

Oh well that's something we agree on. I don't see why you don't like GTA IV though.
SA>IV>III>VC>V

>IV
>above V
>above anything else

I guess if you enjoy not having fun
mature games for mature players right?
because that's what they went for with that early 7th gen green tint

>because idiots will buy it is a shit idea
How is making massive amount of money a shit idea?

You sound angry. I have stuck with Playsation since christmas 97. Just feeling more comfortable with PS and never been interested in Xbox exclusive games.
