A new Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition comparison has been shared online, highlighting the visual improvements and more.
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.
Rockstar Games surprises GTA fans with a new GTA Trilogy Definitive Editions update, which includes classic lighting system for consoles.
And the Netflix versions too had an update, but I hate that theirs no change log.
Wish they had full-on remade the graphics for the original Trilogy. I tried them on PS+ and they felt like a lazy cash grab.
Gave this update a go when I saw a mysterious random download for the games last night and wow this is how it should have been.
Funny now Grove St games logo has been removed entirely and they are no longer mentioned seems like this is the result of a in house effort to fix everything
Removal of grove street game label is a great choice lmao might finally get these I would love to be able to play 60fps on these classics
Trying vice city I noticed that the games fidelity mode ran seemingly at 60 but performance mode was now 120 plus vrr but frame rate is seemingly tied to animation so the game is way to fast to be enjoyable which was very interesting.
San Andreas seems like it's simply 30 or 60 fps modes still
That's how a lot of us felt when Square decided to destroy the Orange lighting from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It went from an unique look to Grey, Bland and Flat. And all because some threw a temper tantrum based on their lack of any artistic sensibilities.
Deus Ex = PISS FILTER!!!
GTA: San Andreas = CLASSIC!!!
Sheesh...
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.
Ummmm...it seems like the older version looks better in many way compared to the new one. Am I missing something here? Honest question as I haven't played these games since they originally came out and was actually kind of interested in picking it up (I know, I shouldn't support this stuff but hey...). Now I am not too sure. Seems really odd.
I feel like the 2021 version is the switch or something, the resolution is way blurry and looks gross.
Word on the street is these games were being worked on for two years and yet... the finished product tells a different story. Modders did a far superior job.
A fool and his money are easily parted
They want to charge money for this?
