This might just be the best Mod in the entire history of modding. The scale of the project is just HUGE and they've pulled it off perfectly. Can't wait for this one!

CommonSense4666d ago

i just wanna know one thing. what is propelling that plane?

M-Easy4665d ago

Wow so it turns a terrible game into a great game. Sweet :)

jony_dols4665d ago

Don't get me wrong, I think this looks great,

but Black Mesa Source will probably be the greatest mod of all time, when it eventually gets released.

kramun4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

Yeah I'm patiently waiting for it myself. How long it's taking them is understandable, I just hope they can manage to finish it.

hassi944665d ago

I hope it's out soon, at this rate they're gonna need a team to make a graphical update for it cause it'll look like crap by the time it comes out! :P

Ahasverus4665d ago

The difference is:
Black Mesa Release date: Never
San Andreas Mod: Next month!

xtremeimport4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

San Andreas was easily the best GTA game, and I want this badly..brings back awesome memories. It was SA that when you shot the moon it would change sizes right??

maniactadpole4665d ago

You could do that in Vice City, atleast on the PC.

koh4665d ago

You could in 3, VC and SA

user83971444665d ago

Nah Vice City is by far the best.

showtimefolks4665d ago

gta HD collection with gta3,vc and sa along with 2 psp game libert city and vice city stories

but this mod is really awesome

the_best_player4665d ago

GTA San Andreas is the best GTA game for over the top fun and endless features. :)

Gray-Fox-Type04665d ago

That s just amazing.

This is the kinda things i see on PC, and wished i had a good powerful PC. On consoles we get ripped off with crap DLC and bend over to Sony & MS what ever they say...

here on PC, they getting the entire map for free...

subtenko4665d ago

There was already an article about this..

These modders are quite creative, aren't they?

Minimox164665d ago

Yeah indeed, what I want to know if that Mod will have the story of San Andreas, that will be cool :D

Motorola4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

Too bad I cant mod the steam version. Unless there is a way?

Danielmccue4666d ago

Nope you'd have to torrent it, I think that would be morally right since you already own it on steam.

snake-OO4666d ago

you can mod the steam version. i know because ive done it already.

Motorola4666d ago

Torrenting a 15 GB game? That will take a while. Ill just save myself the trouble and play the original SA.

X_iGame_X4666d ago

There's a link on the Steam forums about modding it:
http://forums.steampowered....

ATiElite4665d ago

You can mod the Steam version.

FragMnTagM4665d ago

You can mod the steam version as I have it modded, but not all mods work that great as Steam forces you to have the latest updates and most of the mods work better on version 1.0.4.0 and steam version is 1.0.7.0 unfortunately. You put the mods here: (copy and paste) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\g rand theft auto iv\GTAIV

jack who4666d ago

lots of glitch in that vid

Madusha4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

Not the finished version mate. Beta.

The finished version will probaly have small bugs but you can't blme them on that. The scale of the project is just MASSIVE!

sobekflakmonkey4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

Bahahahaha somebody disagreed with you!

Now I've seen everything, that's just ridiculous!
yes there are glitches in that video, it's quite clear that there are glitches present, so what the hell was that person thinking?

"lots of glitches in that vid?.....NO WAY MAN!! I DISAGREE! NO GLITCHES AT ALL!!"

EDIT: and it's not even like you said that it was a dumb idea or anything, you didn't say anything bad what so ever, yet somebody actually found it appropriate to disagree with your statement...wow, N4G, what a website. Hahahaha

Madusha4665d ago

Lol Likely a missclick haha

sobekflakmonkey4665d ago

hahahahaha I got a disagree for my statement also, jeez there are some strange people in this world, I will never understand it ever.

Shane Kim4665d ago

Yeah sobekflakmonkey, and you seem to be one of them.

sobekflakmonkey4664d ago

even more disagrees I'm lovin it, people are so silly.

1PC2PS333604665d ago

theres lots of glitches in finished games made buy 100 man dev teams with 100 million dollar budgets

this is probably a couple guys just doing something to bring a game lots of people love to others for free in an enhanced graphics package

not bad
I'd say for a small project with no outside funding

looks kool

you can definately mod the steam version, just takes a bit more tinkering

google=lifes problems solved

Madusha4665d ago

The team consists of 13 members. They are also making a Vice City mod

X_iGame_X4666d ago

This is bloody amazing! Someone give those guys an award.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Anniversary: The Beginning of the Age of RAGE

Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

isarai352d ago

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷

cammers1995352d ago

The fact it hasnt been remastered is insane.

The series' most overhyped and overrated (especially by critics) more like.

Number1TailzFan354d ago

Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.

VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.

Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.

BlackTar187354d ago

@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment

seanpitt23354d ago

For me 4 was better than 5 was more realistic and the physics was on another level! 5 was a major let down in that department!

Number1TailzFan354d ago

@blacktar you have your opinion i have mine. I found the game dull, and it is for the most part. It set the foundation for the much superior SA and VC however.

KwietStorm_BLM353d ago

You say GTA III is overrated because it's rough to go back to and rough to play after Vice City. Your entire opinion is in hindsight. Of course it's rough going back to it today. It came out over 20 years ago. That doesn't take away from the fact that it pioneered a lot and was a paradigm shift for a lot of trends in game development today. Vice City in a lot of ways is just a more refined version of III. It was San Andreas that took the big leap forward from a design perspective. If III doesn't release, who knows if the open world genre would be what it is now. How can that be overrated?

1nsomniac354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Not at all. My most played game of all time. Truly stunning accomplishment in gaming and with PC graphics mods it just took it to levels beyond anything that came before and possibly even after.

People who moan about it generally tend to be people who played it on under powered consoles and couldn’t handle the more realistic car physics. It was the slightly more realistic approach that made it stand out more. Absolutely love it. In fact I always said Vice city was my favourite of all time. But after going back to the remaster I realised 4 was actually the best.

Profchaos354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

I'm no critic and I consider it the best games in the franchise after recently replaying every entry it's story when paired in conjunction with it's DLC was and still is amazing.

shinoff2183353d ago

Lol. Fun fact. That dlc cost a certain green colored console 50 million for exclusiveness. Un heard of back then. Just to point out the hypocrisy of the 3rd party exclusive agenda going on.

Anyway how the dlc better then the base game by a mile. Lol imo

DigitallyAfflicted353d ago

I've enjoyed gta4 the most from all the others too.

DarXyde353d ago

San Andreas holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I couldn't get into IV at all. Didn't even finish it. I had some pride in playing it at first because I'm originally a New Yorker, but it just didn't do it for me.

To each their own.

shinoff2183353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Gta sa for sure. To this day my favorite. My least fav is gta 4 easily. Gta 4 made me feel like the dude in next friday trying to take the cd back talking about i cant get jiggy wit this.

Maybe looking back it would be 3 but 3 did so damn much for gaming in general. . My first gta was of course the top downs so the series has came a long way.

notachance353d ago

Yeah I remembered falling asleep playing the last mission in GTA4.. the most boring protagonist (out of all the voiced protag), and the town is too small.

-Foxtrot354d ago

Not really

Overrated

Boring

Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety

Lacked the GTA fun charm overall

Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor

blackblades354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

GTA 2 was the best, lol my only owned GTA game. Vice city was alright when I rented it back then. I cant really say which is the best cause those the only 2 games i played but GTA 2 was fun on PC back in the day. Closes game to it that I enjoyed was SR3 and I dont care what people say. That none serious tone was fun enjoyable.

banger88354d ago

Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.

isarai354d ago

Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.

I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV

chicken_in_the_corn354d ago

It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
