Maybe a remaster would be enough then. I played it on Xbox 360 and that has not aged well! It looks terrible now. I loved the darker themes and grittier look to the game. It’s my favourite GTA game and the one I’ve played the most. I was disappointed when GTA5 came out after being so excited. I got 100% game completion on 5 so I have had a good go at it and while it is a great game I just felt like something was missing idk I even played it again on PS4 but I would much rather of played GTA4 again. I’m like you, I didn’t have a problem with the cars in 4 either. At first I thought they were a bit floaty but I soon got used to them.

Unfortunately I don’t know if we will see GTA4 remaster or remake anytime soon after the bad reception of the GTA3 remaster! They definitely needed a remake though. Also Rockstar should of handed the project to a team who were capable of the project
