Fans of Grand Theft Auto 4 are appreciating the attention to detail in the game, even 15 years after its release. Grand Theft Auto 4 was the franchise's first foray into the HD era, with many still holding it up as one of the best in the franchise.Grand Theft Auto 4 was released in 2008. Critics praised its grittier, serious tone, as it was a stark contrast to the more playful parodies of America that had been seen in older titles like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. While elements of this remained in Grand Theft Auto 4, it was toned down with a more subtle approach. This tone is unlike anything seen in the franchise since, and fans are still clamoring for a remaster of the game on modern hardware. There were rumors that a Grand Theft Auto 4 remaster was canceled last year, but these are so far unsubstantiated.RELATED: GTA Fan Recreates Liberty City in Unreal Engine 5In the video tweeted by user JustMeRyder, an NPC hides under scaffolding in order to escape the rainy weather, waiting for it to come to an end. While Rockstar games are always filled with attention to detail, Grand Theft Auto 4 is particularly known for it, often going over the top in pursuit of realism. One fan even found out that players can use a helicopter to part a lake, due to Grand Theft Auto 4's water physics. Much of the technology used in the game was years ahead of its time, with the Euphoria physics engine the highlight of many a YouTube clip.

The impressive attention to detail only strengthens the game's realistic tone when compared to the series' other efforts. When NPCs in Grand Theft Auto 4 hide from the rain, it's believable as it's part of the realistic vibe presented by the game to the player. While Grand Theft Auto 5 has its own amazing attention to detail, the game's tone can be much wackier than its predecessor, so hyper-realism isn't always required.

The last title released in the franchise was Grand Theft Auto 5, almost 10 years ago. Despite the time gap, fans continue to maintain their incredible enthusiasm for the franchise, with Grand Theft Auto Online especially contributing to the game's extended lifespan. Though Rockstar has been reluctant to comment, the Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks from last year show that work is continuing to ensure the franchise remains relevant long into the future, with any release almost guaranteed to smash sales records.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
