#GTA IV VISUAL MODS MOD#

Being more realistic, this mod can be more frustrating as well. I should point out that not everyone will be a fan of this mod, especially if you want to just load the game up and have a riot.

#GTA IV VISUAL MODS INSTALL#

As a fan of realistic physics, this is hands-down the first mod IвЂ™d install for GTA IV.

YouвЂ™ll need to carefully judge your speed and adjust your line accordingly. You wonвЂ™t be able to attack bends at neck-breaking speeds as you were before. You should notice that cars accelerate more naturally now and they build up speed in a more linear way, but braking also takes more time and it affects the handling, as it would in the real world. Using this mod might feel strange and odd the first couple of times you load the game up, simply because the experience is vastly different to how the regular cars behave. It replaces every carвЂ™s steering, acceleration and brakes with data inspired by the real-world. Remember how I said that GTA 4 isnвЂ™t realistic in terms of driving and itвЂ™s a bit arcade-like? Well, this mod completely solves that issue by taking the standard driving physics package and throwing it out the window. I wonвЂ™t necessarily say that you should use this view all the time, because this is GTA 4 after all, and sometimes itвЂ™s best enjoyed through the third-person view, but for those times when you want to relax and cruise around, perhaps even obey the traffic laws? Yes, then itвЂ™s definitely worth it. WhatвЂ™s more, because GTA 4 uses an older engine, most newer PCs are able to run it without breaking a sweat. You might notice a slight hit in FPS, but itвЂ™s nothing you shouldnвЂ™t be able to iron out in the settings. Yes, theyвЂ™ve made it better-looking, but theyвЂ™ve also optimized it for speed and performance. Obviously, better graphics equal more processing power required, but this isnвЂ™t a mod thatвЂ™s particularly taxing on a system in my experience.

The mod comes with different visual settings too, so you can custom-tailor the experience even further if you really want to. It also comes with a different texture pack, to make full use of the new shaders and present you with a GTA 4 world as youвЂ™ve never seen it before. This is arguably one of the best GTA 4 Mods, especially if youвЂ™re a fan of realism and sharp-looking graphics. Suddenly, sun reflections on car body panels look ridiculously realistic, and the glare from windows looks so crisp youвЂ™ll have trouble believing it isnвЂ™t real. By using different shaders optimized to enhance reflections and shadows, this mod transforms GTA into an entirely different game to the standard one.
