GTA 4 is awesome!
I wanted to highlight the following:
Whilst we are all awaiting GTA 6, there is this remarkable mod for GTA San Andreas called Project Eagle.
20 years ago I played San Andreas like crazy and tried out many mods. They were all impressive. However this Project Eagle is fully wild…
It creates a map the size of I would guess 20-30 times the original San Andreas map! The design is as if driving through the US. They built smaller cities, bigger cities, deserts, snowy areas, etc. They also built in the original GTA Vice City map far in the south east, and the original GTA 3 Liberty City map in the north east. GTA 4 map is not there though.
They also added local radio stations that switch depending where you are, local vehicles and weapons, for example you can find those old cool cars in Vice City, and only Vice City weapons can be found and purchased there. Meanwhile for example you can find hidden packages in the GTA 3 Liberty City map… the feeling of nostalgia is insane! I even remembered some weapon pickup locations in GTA 3. They re-created all of those!!
Now granted, some parts of the map aren’t ready yet - there are simply voids. But there are some fun side missions, you can purchase houses, mod cars, etc. It is playable, just not perfect yet. And they are even planning a main storyline…just wow.
Incredible details and super nostalgia, it is the perfect time while waiting for GTA 6. Give it a go!
