GTA V pc will get iCEnhancer Mod

Gaming Bolt spotted a Facebook post by Keilany who explains that the iCEnhancer mod will make a return to a GTA... specifically, GTA V.

According to Keilany...

“We gotta see what the PC will offer, It might not require much editing in terms of shaders and stuff but mostly artistic changes to fit everyone's taste. Expect to see dark, unsaturated, shiny cars preset and oversaturated, matte cars presets, etc.
“It's how things work, everyone have their own tastes. V is already pretty, soon we can make it prettier for our own vision. That's the magic of modding, make the game your own.”

Keilany also mentions that the original modder for overhauling GTA's graphics is already looking into modding the newest game. Boris Vorontsov revolutionized the alternative graphics scene by releasing the ENB mod for various games. While Vorontsov's mods were popular with games like Half-Life and Fallout, it wasn't untilGTA did it skyrocket in popularity.

Following Vorontsov's ENB Series was various other mods based on the ENB mods. One of the more popular modifications of Vorontsov's work was Hayssam Keilany'siCEnhancer mod, which featured precursor elements for his eventual work on the Brigade Engine. The iCEnhancer brought more realistic light and color saturation to the table, as well as enhanced reflections, more dynamic shadows and a few other post-processing enhancements to create a more immersive visual experience.

It actually amazes me that Rockstar hasn't hired Keilany yet; but he is working on a rival game engine called the Brigade Engine, which focuses on real-time path tracing. In simple terms, the Brigade Engine allows developers to make photo-realistic games that are actually playable.

What's interesting is how the new iCEnhancer mod will work for Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar actually aimed to improve the game quite a bit for the Xbox One and PS4 – as far as the visuals go – compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3 release. In one of the promo trailers for the eighth-gen iteration of GTA V, they showcased better lighting, improved reflections, a more accurate depth of field effect, HD textures, and more light sources.

Could it be possible that when GTA V drops for PC the iCEnhancer mod could easily and instantly push the game into the realm of photo-realism? That's anyone's guess.GTA IV with the iCEnhancer is one of the best looking games on the market. That's not even a joke.

The only thing Keilany worries about are the Skyrim modders. Funnily enough, he jokes in the Facebook post that once the Skyrim graphics modders join the GTA Vscene they'll start combining the iCEnhancer with super-advanced grass and “plastic” women mods that will bring the game's frame-rate down to 10fps.

I don't really care who joins the GTA V mod scene; I just can't wait to see what artists, modders, designers and creators come up with when the game finally launches on PC this year.

Duh

Game is gonna be great on PC, technically. Can't wait to see what they do

People were saying it might not have been possible due to the new engine

@CroidX: Mods find a way

Ofcourse it will

I can't wait to see some mods for this game. This is what icehancer is cspabale of.

Now the game better be functional...

Anyone going to tripple dip on this one? I cant because i dont have a PC right now that would play it.

I've been holding out for the PC version all this time for this very reason, Mods.

All this shit should have been put in by Rockstar: not some russian modder.

Some goes with DSFIX.

Hoping GTA V won't be a shit port like IV

I will, but not at launch because I only want it on PC to mess around with, I have the Xbone version to play with friends.

Why can't developers just incorporate ENB/iCEnhancer/SweetFX-like shaders into the game itself?

Honestly, I've never thought ICEnhancer nor ENBSeries mods looked any good. They just saturate the screen with out of place post-processing effects. It might look pretty in screenshots, but ingame GTA 4 looks like ass compared to any recent title no matter what mods you use.

people are saying that this is a Port and wasn't built from the ground up

you got some saying the specs on it are the same as a ps4 and that they didn't push any limits on pc i cant confirm all i heard is stuff saying how this game doesn't need a insane graphics card for max graphics and it doesnt need a meaty cpu or even tons of ram only like gigs of ram

was this game pushed or not was built from the ground up or was slightly port this is stuff ppl need to know we just can't just not know we need to know imo was it ps4 port or not

Yeah,you really have no idea what you're talking about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehIjzAcCTTI this guy says how it could have just been ported over an rockstar might be lazy he said 5 year old graphics card can run GTA 5 on recommended setting thats like 50 dollar graphics card now adays

Refers to youtube dudes...yeah,you have no clue

"official requirements from Rockstar" article dates from September

@MonsieurX: kdramastars should never be trusted for anything ever. This is the same site that has features such "news" as a PC port of Red Dead Redemption, amongst a lot of other nonsense.

Read their articles, there is rarely ever a source for anything.

Consolites can't catch a break!

icenhancer is shit, but enb in general is badass. Its a given enb is coming

yes but what if is PS4 version of the game exactly (no graphical upgrades) just runs at 60 FPS is that fine or not ? i just dunno whats fine or not what do PC gamers expect here from the pc version and why would rockstar switch things up from PC GTA4 which was sloppy? why expect a difference here from ps4/xb1 versions?

There are graphical upgrades. Do you actively try to be wrong?

GTA V will be DX11

Enb doesn't work with DX11

ENB needs to be updated to DX11. It's annoying having to choose between DX11 and DX9+ENB.

Guess Sweetfx+radeonpro will have to do. Man, this game can't come soon enough.

Boris is working on DX11 ENB i think. There's also a new tool called ReShade that let's you add effects like DOF to DX11 titles.

Lords of The Fallen with DOF and color grading:

If Rockstar does it right, ENB will only be making a great looking game look better. GTA V is a really good looking game on the PS4/Xbox One. It'll only look better on the PC.

Less than two days after PC gamers get their hands on this wonderful looking game they'll have managed to ruin the art direction completely with their horrible tasteless mods. Count on it.

lol. This logic I can never get.

It's not long now until the PC version releases.

Can't wait to play it on PC, because to be honest the PS3 version was quite a disappointment. The game was great but the performance was lackluster.

It seems you don't get sarcasm as well.

@clyde46: I don't think he was being sarcastic. He is pretty vocal about this stuff in the GS comment section.

Because I don't like the idea of someone taking a piece of work and then sucking the soul out of it?

Sucking the soul out of it lol

The shit some people say here...

You do realize that graphical mods come in all shapes and forms and are completely optional?

"piece of work"

"No soul"

That picture only proves my point. First image has a consistent art style while that second one looks like someone dumped a tree house built in The Sims into Skyrim. And placed a bunch of weirdly colored upstanding leaves on the ground. Come on, you can't think that is an improvement in any way.

lol. Gotta agree that most mods look pretty terrible.

However, that doesn't invalidate the practice of mods overall.

Well to be honest vanilla Skyrim looks quite ugly, it's no wonder that so much modding went into changing the look, same with GTA IV.

GTAV doesn't have this problem, it looks really nice by default.

can't even imagine how amazing this game is going to look on pc. we'll see how the port holds up.

Hermits can mod this game I beat 2 years ago while I play bloodborn

congrats.

@Ben-Buja Reshade sounds interesting. I'll go check it out. Thanks.

Thanks for participating in the BETA,much appreciated.

GTA V hasn't been out for two year yet
