There's plenty of color in GTA 4. It's been awhile since I played it, but I remember there's some sort of "Saturation" slider in the options menu that enhances the game's colors.
>>
>>733750351
its new york bro just look around
>>
>>733750351
That's just new York that shit show of a circus has now colour.
>>
The game is about a dreary and seedy criminal lifestyle in a hellish crime ridden city where its often overcast and raining- why are a significant amount of people so fucking retarded they ask "where is the color?"

just mod it to be colorful or like >>733750558 said, bump up the saturation and remove any semblance of intentional atmosphere if you dont care about it so much, its no big deal. Same with RE5, Deus Ex and any other heavily tinted game. There are even versions of The Matrix where the film isnt so green and it barely affects the quality of the movie

Press start, go into the video settings.

You'll see an option that says Brightness, Contrast, Saturation. Tick brightness by two to the right, contrast by 2, and saturation by 5.

Man, what a good game. And from 2008, which its development happening in the years prior. So much can be done with the processing capability we have today, simulation wise, yet here we are chasing graphics.

Absolute retardation of devs. That's why Red Dead 2 is one of the worst Rockstar developed games. They focused so hard on simulation and graphics that they forgot to focus on gameplay.

RDR2 is worth getting over the shitty controls and gameplay (and they are shitty) just because the world is that well realized and fun to play around in (in my opinion). What I think is inexcusable is how it's held as this gold standard of storytelling in games when it follows every single hack Rockstar trope and the "story" itself is dogshit and just an excuse to have a giant shootout at the end of every act. The characters are good and the dialogue is fine but the actual narrative of RDR2 is so fucking stupid and nonsensical. The game is best when you ignore the gang and just free roam and do side content. That experience alone is "worth it" to me but it's an extremely flawed game if you look at it with the slightest bit critical eye.

They're literally designed from the classic era of GTA (1-San Andreas) stylization. They are SUPPOSED to look weird and cartoon. V was the first one to go full retard with the realism where none of the characters really look unique and now have a creepy uncanny look. Its just a very boring look for V, and 6 looks like it's going deeper into just another boring realism game.

Yeah, after a big GTAV5 discussion I had it turns out they couldn't get settled on an ending, and most of the missions were never finished. That's why one day you're working for Madrazo and the next day you're working for the FIB. Also that since every Rockstar dev pitched it, nobody could really agree on the world map or the missions. And it's clear that they abandoned the game for Online because there is no post game or DLC for V. Its also pathetic how nobody likes the GTA Online characters that they had to bring in nearly everyone from IV but Niko to Online (Gay Tony, Brucie, Packie, Lazlow, that black biker guy, Yusuf). Its also gotten to the point that they brought bought Franklin and Michael just last December. That's why I have zero hope for 6. Not only is every top creative person gone from Rockstar, but they're forcing every studio to work on a single game again AND they bought an entire Indian studio to offload so much of the work. Its genuinely going to be terrible and at the same time it will be the best selling launch of all time.

Btw this better than pumping saturation. Saturation will saturate all colors across the board, including the few that are already saturated, making them oversaturated, making shit ugly.

Vibrant colors are good. The issue with that whole pink and blue shit you see today (Hyenas being an example) is because designers are still lazy in another area and created a new cancerous trend outside of post processing effects or filters. Both post processing techniques of that time combined with some tinted bloom in grey, green or brown is that it a created a lethal concoction of eye rape. That is why your claims of the purple, pink and blue are out of line and will not ever compare to what we had to suffer through. I don't like the design trends that you also dislike. But there was something more sinister going on with this shit. Furthermore six generation did not lack color and whilst having similar visual imperfections were far more tolerable compared to the other.
