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 car’s steering, acceleration and brakes with data inspired by the real-world. Remember how I said that GTA 4 isn’t realistic in terms of driving and it’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 won’t necessarily say that you should use this view all the time, because this is GTA 4 after all, and sometimes it’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 it’s definitely worth it. What’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 it’s nothing you shouldn’t be able to iron out in the settings. Yes, they’ve made it better-looking, but they’ve also optimized it for speed and performance.

Obviously, better graphics equal more processing power required, but this isn’t a mod that’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 you’ve never seen it before. This is arguably one of the best GTA 4 Mods, especially if you’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 you’ll have trouble believing it isn’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.
