Top 10 Best Must Have Mods for GTA 4 for improving the Realistics and Graphics

Last Updated on June 25, 2023 by Ajay Kumar

GTA 4 is one of the best Open World Games even though the Game is considered to be better than the Latest GTA 5 Game. Even when the game was launched back in 2008, almost 6 years earlier than GTA 5.

However, the GTA 5 has better Graphics, more Cars, Super Cars, and new features. Many details in GTA 4 are better than the GTA 5, such as the driving & Crash Physics, also GTA 4 can be played on super low-end PCs, even on those PCs with 512MB Ram, and the old generation intel i3 processors with Intel HD Graphics.

It is quite shocking that a Game from 2008 is better than one launched in 2013 in terms of physics, and realism (not in Graphics and all that). In my opinion, if Rockstar has fine-tuned the GTA 5 game as similar to what they did with the GTA 4, the GTA 5 could have been a lot better than what is it right now.
