Twinfinite: "May has traditionally been a quiet month with respect to video game releases, but there are still several notable anniversaries that'll make you feel old."
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.
With plenty of open world games to choose from on the PlayStation 2, narrowing down the list to just the 15 best is quite the difficult task.
Those games were pretty mid. In fact, I'm surprised they even put The Getaway: Black Monday. But they left out much better games like Way of the Samurai 1-2, Okami, Jak 2 or 3, Final Fantasy 12, Yakuza 1-2, or SSX 3.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Woah! 5 years since blood dragon
Vice city came out on PC in 2003, how is 2018 it's 10th anniversary?
ah, gta: vice city - my favorite gta!
A shame GTA6 probably wont even drop this gen. R* is worse than Kojima when it comes to release pacing.
