Modder ‘orangebrains’ has released a new graphics overhaul mod for Grand Theft Auto 4, Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty Visual. According to the modder, Liberty Visual is a WIP global overhaul for GTA IV aimed at bringing natural and almost photorealistic visuals to the game’s graphics.
This mod will completely rework vanilla timecycle as well as textures and assets without any harm to the game lore. It also packs a lot of different fixes and unique features such as upscaled textures, parallax textures, reworked vehicle materials, extended reflections and shadows, etc.
As said, this graphics mod is available in Early Access. The bad news is that it’s behind a Patreon wall. Thankfully, though, its final version will be free to everyone.
In order to showcase Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty Visual, orangebrains shared the following screenshots and videos. And, as you will see, the game looks great with it.
Speaking of GTA 4, I also suggest trying the following mod. This one, for instance, restores Grand Theft Auto IV’s multiplayer experience. There is also a cool mod that adds to the game vehicles from 1950-1993. And lastly, there is a 3GB New York City Name-Conversion Mod.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

An HD mod that isn’t just the bloom, blur and depth of field cranked up to the point of making your eyes bleed? Well sign me up!
And you’ll have to ‘sign up’ because its only behind a pay wall while in early access.
I can wait
“its final version will be free to everyone”
Yeah and the final version will never come out lol, or after 5 years in early access.
I like your cynicism!
I remember following a mod like that years ago, and yeah it NEVER become “final” or free…
Anyway, I don’t think we’re missing out much…
He’s just trying to head off any criticism.
He’s an old gamer/modder who knows what he’s doing is scummy but hey ,bandwagon was passing by.
How much framerate does it needs to be feed ?
If someone puts in the work (without using other people’s work etc) I don’t see a problem with it being “paid” for while in early access. Now whether it actually comes out ever, and if they release it as free for everyone when they do, that’s another story.
Without using other people’s work? the entire game is other people’s work. are you high?
No kidding the game is other people’s work. I’m talking about someone taking a bunch of other mods, compiling them and then putting out their own mod and charging for that.
Dude – you charge for quality, original content. Changing texture colors in pirated Photoshop isn’t quality.
I know, that was my original point. I wasn’t saying THIS mod specifically put in the work that would make me OK with having to pay for it, it was just a general statement while commenting I don’t have a problem with paying if it’s well done etc. Touching up textures or color swapping etc isn’t exactly what I would call original content lol
I still contest that GTA IV is still the best GTA of all time, QUOTE ME!!!…
Same sh*t as the Reshade “ray tracing”, we’re only gonna keep getting more of that.
So do you get your money back if you are not satisfied? Like the 2 hour Steam deal.
