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

> the game's source code was built for the Cell/RSX architecture and that PS3 runs on NVidia while PS4 runs on AMD 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.
Luis Green
Still they've re-released III, VC and SA to both PS3 and PS4.
Grayson Long
pretty sure the right answer is 'because no one gives a shit about GTAIV'
Adam Parker
Aren't those just part of Sony's limited backwards compatibility program?
Justin King
>because no one gives a shit about GTA IV That's where your wrong kiddo.
Joseph Diaz
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
Anthony Sullivan
because it's fine on ps3?
Evan Taylor
>wojack poster >gtaiv fan unsurprising
bet you like the driving the most
David Cruz
>Not liking GTA4 driving. Not even him. But you're a faggot, my man.
Cooper Price
Yeah I like it - but not the most, what's your favorite GTA pleb?
Ryan Lee
setting the precident of porting games from the previous generation because idiots will buy it is a shit idea.
Tyler Hernandez
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.
Tyler Watson
SA I like driving in the clouds
Henry Brooks
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
Carson Martin
I want to play it at a functioning FPS
Levi Martin
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.
Jonathan Morris
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
David Jenkins
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
Jaxson Morales
It goes SA>IV>V>VC>III for the 3D games.
Adam Jones
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
Charles Garcia
>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
Jordan Anderson
>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.
