GTA IV Returns: The Same Game but on Consoles That Don't Look Like Appliances
The news no one expected but that some nostalgics will welcome with open arms: GTA IV is preparing its move to modern consoles. According to sources close to development, this won't be a remastered version, but simply a port. Or in other words: the same old Liberty City, but now on hardware that doesn't remind you of a 2000s toaster.
The Mystery of the Platforms: Where Will Niko Bellic Land?
The big question is which consoles will receive this trip to the past. The possibilities include:
- PlayStation 5: to relive crimes with ultra-fast loading
- Xbox Series X: where the graphics will stay the same but the controller will vibrate harder
- Nintendo Switch: because nothing says "game for the whole family" like an organized crime simulator
It's not a remaster, it's simply the same game in a prettier box. Like when you move but bring all your old clothes.
Rockstar and Its Communication Policy: Silence Is Golden
As is tradition for the company, Rockstar Games has neither confirmed nor denied anything. Their communication strategy consists of:
- Ignoring all rumors
- Letting fans speculate for months
- Announcing things when all of the Internet already knows
In the meantime, players can keep enjoying the original, with its glorious 2008 graphics and that driving physics that made parking harder than robbing a bank.
Why Now? The Million-Dollar Question
With GTA VI on the horizon, it seems like a curious move to resurrect its predecessor. Maybe it's:
- An attempt to keep the saga's hype alive
- A way to buy time while they finish the new game
- Or simply because they know fans will buy it anyway
Whatever the reason, soon we’ll be able to return to Liberty City exactly as we remember it: with its blurry textures, questionable lighting, and that outdated charm that only games from its era have. Because sometimes, nostalgia doesn't need remasters, it just needs to work on your new console without sounding like a plane taking off 🎮.
