GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition brings all the missions, the whole map, and content from the original game to the RAGE Engine. This is an incredible project that all Vice City fans will appreciate.
GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition has an improved version of the city – and weapons – from the Definitive Edition. All the cars from the Xbox version of the original game will be present here. Additionally, all the models of all characters and peds will be from the Xbox version. From what we know, there are no plans to increase their polygon count. However, all 3D characters will have better textures.
All the original radio stations will also be present in this unofficial remaster. And although the project will have the cut-scenes and the style of the original game, it will also pack better particle effects and some lighting improvements.
As said, GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition started as a mod. However, it’s now available as a standalone free project. All you have to do is download and play it. The project does no longer require the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
As the modding team behind it stated:
“Initially, the modification was planned to require the original game in order to show respect to the publisher. However, over the past two days, we have completely rebuilt the project, and it is now available as a standalone “installation-ready package”. Just download, install, and play. There are no issues with version compatibility since the mod is now fully autonomous.”
Here’s a TLDR of what happened. Two days before the release of GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition, Take-Two Interactive deleted the YouTube channel of the modding team. As Revolution Team claimed, Take-Two did this without any warning or attempt to contact them. So, from the looks of it, the team felt betrayed by this move. As such, it decided to give the middle finger to Take-Two, create a new YT channel, and release the mod as a standalone project.
"it decided to give the middle finger to Take-Two, create a new YT channel, and release the mod as a standalone project." ~ how it should be :)
"Take-Two will do its best to take down the video and the download link." They can go fuck themselves, it's good it's a torrent file now I have it, will download it seed and post it on Take-Twos twitter account. I want to rub it in their face and piss them off. Hopefully this will spread on torrent sites then it's too late for anyone to do anything I love it lol.
There are some games on the PS2 that really pushed the capabilities of the PS2 itself to their limits.
Did they really skip Shadow of the Colossus? I would definitely swap Dark Cloud for that.
god of war 2 looked better than most of the launch games, just like last of us 1 ,kz2 and god of war 3 looking better than a bunch of launch ps4 games, and kz2 for reason looks just as good in 2024, that game had some black magic
Agreed. I sometimes watch multiplayer videos of it. Best FPS i have ever played. It’s the game that initiated me to the genre. It has a special place in my all time favorite top3
Eight seminal games were released on the gaming market between October 26 and November 23, 2004. Twenty years later, here's Wccftech's retrospective.
You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.
Wow looks really good. Sony went the extra mile and cleaned the games up and added trophies. I'm probably not going to buy any of them because you know, nobody's forcing me too, and if I want to play a PS2 game I plug in my, wait for it, PS2! But apparently there are a lot of people around here that think that notion is absurd.
They do look pretty great considering their age now. Shame the Star Wars games didn't make the launch maybe they'll be out in the next week or 2.
I'm looking forward to replaying vice city.
Sony went the extra mile with these, and I was confused on why people were hating on the idea and still confused while reading through some comments earlier on a previous post. They charged us 9.99 for a PS2 game with no extras, just the normal base game on PS3. Now they are charging us 14.99, yet with these they have upped the resolution, given us trophies and allow us to broadcast the game on twitch. Seems like a fair exchange to me for the extra 5 dollars for the extra work they put in on these!
Edit: Looking forward to trying Twisted Metal: Black! Never got to try it when I had a PS2, being a poor 10 year old cut out a lot of classic games.
Sure would be nice to have some PS3 back-compatibility than PS2 on PS4.
