Thanks to PC mods, people can still impress us with the beauty of 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV. Lighting and weather effects can go a long, long way in making Rockstar Games' crime epic very, very pretty. It's even prettier as a postcard.
The screenshot-snapping artistry that is Dead End Thrills—previously featured on Kotaku—recently refocused its virtual lens on Grand Theft Auto IV from breathtaking new angles. And with the help of some visual mods and creative tweaks, it makes for a lovely set of pixelated postcards from Liberty City.

The sad thing about GTA IV and current gen sandbox games in general is the parts of these amazing, intricately crafted cities that go unused and unloved, I've spent hundreds of hours in Liberty City and was always surprised by little corners of it I hadn't seen before.
These sandbox cities have oodles of potential beyond just their games, it's nice to see that some of it isn't going to waste.
