Forums - Gaming Discussion - GTA IV remake for PS2 would be great!

Yes.. a GTA IV with the same engine of GTA III/VC/SA. 

I think GTA IV would be more succesful if it was released on PS2 too. The installbase is still huge and I have a lot of friends here in the Netherlands who doesnt have a 360 or PS3 and don't like PC gaming and really would like to see a GTA IV on PS2. Maybe they have a point. The graphics and the physics engines of GTA IV was really a dissapointment.

The controls were okay but the camera when driving was a pain in the ass. The characters looked very plastic-ish, it has a blur effect what I don't like. It was like you are in a dream when playing. 

The graphics of the previous GTA's may not be amazing but it had clear graphics. No blur effect, well GTA III and VC had but you could switch it off.

I beat the game and I have to say I had much much much more fun with San Andreas than GTA IV.

Sorry to those who love GTA IV but I think its the worst GTA. If you finish the storyline, then there are not much things left to do. It has bad music too.

So if Rockstar made a remake on PS2 with the same graphics engine as GTA SA and with improvements for music and missions and adding airplanes and jetpacks. Perhaps than.. things would be different. GTA SA is still selling like hot cakes. Don't think it is stupid to make a remake for PS2. Here in Europe, at least in the Netherlands, is the Ps2 community still alive. Look at those people who are buying Pro evolution Soccer 2009 PS2. The sells are incredible.

I beat the game on PS3 but for me it would have more value if it was on PS2.

Could you image a GTA IV for PS2? What do you think? 

GTA IV with PS2 graphics... it would look like this.

Note: I'm reposting this. Yesterday, this thread was locked because of the misleading title, also excuses for that.

So in short, you seem to think that GTA4 would be way better if the graphics sucked? Um...

Well I don't think the graphics of the previous GTA's sucked. It had clear graphics.

But thats not the only reason. There aren't airplanes or jetpacks in GTA IV what is a huuugee miss.

The PS2 could barely run GTA3.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

GTA was advertised beyond belief. It was reviewed rediculously high by the press because they wanted to see more hardcore games and were tired of reviewing casual games. And with the xbox under $200 and so many holiday deals, I can't see that any fan of the series hasn't taken the plunge and bought GTA 4.

If they released it at $19.99 then yes, I think a PS2 or Wii port would be very successful. However, I don't know if that's a good business decision to sell a $100 million product at $19.99. But what do I know.

WTF Mod community I don't know why my GTA4 SA mod isn't out yet >_



They're not going to put this multi million dollar game on the PS2. It is, frankly, a dead console to most developers. Persona 4 will probably be the last great PS2 game.

I think they're perfectly happy with 11 million sales and counting...
And that's not counting the PC version.

It would sell horribly.

I love the music.






Is this a joke? Common... this actually reminds me of a thread back in 2003/2004 when somebody tried to convince me that if Sony would add a DVD player to a PSone it would kill the PS2 in sales...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

So really what you hope for is that R* will just re-realese GTA 3 with characters and missions from GTA 4? Because that how the game would be on the PS2.
