When fan-mods improve a game

[PeteJ]

Can a community really improve on what is put out at retail? The GTA4 scene would certainly say so! Are there are other examples out there?

If you own GTA4 on PC and have a powerful enough rig, follow this thread for instructions on how to play it with these graphics:

Half life and HL2 are obvious choices. I recall Counterstrike was a mod but better graphics are just that and don't necessarily = improvement.
I was quite happy with fan made tracks in Guitar Hero at the time.

Given how badly optimized GTA4 was originally, I shudder to think what that mod would do to a PC that isn't directly powered by the Sun!

Even retro

Even retro

That looks awsome, sound is twitchy but still nice on

A number of the Fallout 3/Vegas mods I would say in some way improve the game either visually or gameplay wise. Anyone who originally played Battlefield 1942 will remember Desert Combat which was a really great mod for the time.

Some nice stuff in this thread. That GTA mod is what I'd expect next gen graphically

[Rossco]

That is awesome!

The GTA mods give the game stunning looks... but do they fix the awful gameplay decisions? lol

[Flabio]

Bet the character models don't get the same amount of love in those mods either...

Wow just looking at those PC GTA4 shots makes me want to buy it.
