Final Version Of iCEnhancer For GTAIV Released

Posted on Wednesday, July 18 @ 10:06:10 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

By now you've probably seen screenshots of ultra-realistic Grand Theft Auto IV images. Many of these are thanks in-part to a mod called iCEnhancer which takes GTAIV's already hardware-demanding engine and pumps it full of testosterone. After a few years of tweaking iCEnhancer has just been updated to its final version, numbered 2.1, and it takes the game to a whole new level of realism with improved lens flare, better colors, improved framerates, and a bucket full of eye candy.

Take a peek at the trailer for iCEnhancer 2.1 below and enjoy the visual stimuli:


This might be the final version of iCEnhancer for GTAIV, but its designer isn't done with tweaking games to look as jaw-dropping as possibe. He's now working on bringing the same level of detail to Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Although improvements to Minecraft are probably limited, it's almost scary to think what he can do with Skyrim.

If you have a PC with formidable hardware and want to try iCEnhancer 2.1 for yourself, head over to the author's website to find a download and installation instructions.

    Awesome! I'm really hoping the PS4/720 will have the power to be able to pull off this kind of realism.

    I watched it in 1080 and quite frankly, my mind is not blown. Sure it looks a lot better than stock GTAIV, but that was a pretty damn ugly game to begin with. Compared to more recent games it really isn't that impressive.

    The lighting is nice in it but the textures are still low res.

    Coupled with various other mods, this looks fantastic.

    I would recommend a realistic gun sound mod, a realistic road texture mod and a realistic environment mod (for trees and such) and then finally this mod to top it off. Liberty City will then be stunning.

    Add various realistic car mods and sound mods to your leisure. Sure it takes some work, but the results are amazing.
