Small update for my Higher Resolution Vehicles Pack, now version 2.2, nothing major, just optimised shared textures and updated the decal for the Predator. Prepping for a bigger update on another project later.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Kinda odd to see touch screen controls for RDR1 of all things.

In the 2023 GTA 5 source leak, a number of documents were included.
One was about the design of the games seabed, and in it there was a lot of screenshots from Rockstar's scrapped game "Agent" (codenamed jimmy) as references or for reusing assets from it.

Why this way? Rockstar has means to animate cameras, but the speed of the chase varies based on how close the player is to it.
Rockstar doesn't have means in the script functions to speed up/slow down a camera animation.
Doing it this way lets them ramp up/down [cont]

In the GTA5 story mode mission Father/Son there is a cinematic view during the chase.
To animate that view during the chase, they spawn 2 trucks, make them invisible, attach cameras to them and run "Vehicle Recordings" on the trucks.
Unhiding them produces this amusing result:

You NEED to install this if you're playing GTA IV on PC. It fixes those annoying issues from the oh-so-great PC port and makes it look much better without being overdone.
I reinstalled the game to try this and I'm really enjoying the improvements!

Fusion Fix 4.0.2 has just dropped, a few minor fixes this time, new VRAM calculation should get rid of any issues under Vulkan reporting just 512MB VRAM, also a cheat to give Johnny a new pair of pants! Here's some high res logo assets too cause why not: github.com/ThirteenAG/G...

A #GTA IV remaster/port is very likely in the future.

However it's also likely to be based on the PC port, which is full of issues not seen on the console versions.

So let's see if Rockstar could learn a thing or two from the modding community for the upcoming re-release! 🧵

Some screenshots I took of #GTA IV for the Fusion Fix website.

The game looks so good now! You can download Fusion Fix below.

A #GTA IV remaster is on the horizon, but unfortunately it will likely be rooted in the flawed PC port.

I explored just how broken the PC port really is and show how Rockstar could learn from the work modders have done to fix it.
How Modders Are Remastering GTA IV Themselves
GTA IV is possibly getting a remaster for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but it will likely be based on the poor PC port. Let's take a look at how modders fixed this port and whether Rockstar can…

Got a Guitar Hero 3 Wii guitar from CeX for €18, basically brand new, not a squeak out of any of the buttons. Such a good deal.

The latest SP update fixed the radio station switch animation on standing boats by simply disabling it. The next SP goes a step further - the animation now affects only a few body parts, so different driving animations are retained - low cars, trucks & pro anims stay consistent.

Meanwhile, back in GTA San Andreas land, a simple code fix corrects the way CJ jumps on motorbikes from the front - he was sinking into the bike previously, most noticeably on Freeway. Now everything lines up well!

@thekotti.bsky.social Hey Kotti! Did you not upload a video about HITMAN WoA being bad on Switch 2?

Can't seem to find it anymore and now I'm not sure if I'm just imagining that I seen it to begin with.
