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
Remedy has outlined its major goals for the Max Payne remakes, stating that it intends to capture commercial and critical success.
I'm not much of a Remedy gamer beyond Alan Wake, but I can't say I've ever heard anyone complain about the quality of the product, whether we like the game or not.
Um, I’d think that should go without saying… but glad they’re committed to making the quality excellent as opposed to, uh, not.
I don’t think Remedy had anything to do with that. I get you’re referring to a publisher, but you wouldn’t think a developer would be reassuring people about their game when a different developer made a game that dropped the ball that’s under the same publishing umbrella.
Like, why would From Soft have to assure us that they’re game will be be striving for excellence if Namco Bandai is publishing and they’re referring to something like Unknown 9: Awakening?
This is just a weird statement no matter how you spin it, but also good to know.
Well rockstar is paying the bills so they have to project confidence so it isn't cancelled.
What I'm wondering is who is going to voice Max since the og actor died or they are using the old VO like MGS3Remake.
Rockstar has always had a great relationship with remedy this isn't some new fly by night partnership they have worked together for 20 plus years now
Max payne 2 was the last time they worked with rockstar in 2003. And it bombed.
Rockstar asked remedy to check out Max Payne 3 for notes but were not really involved.
So having worked on a project 20 years ago doesn't mean they have been working together for 20 plus years.
Considering some new releases that's good to hear. It is better than aiming for diversity and inclusion.
