Summary

  • A fan-made GTA: Vice City remaster seeks to bring the Miami-based classic to the GTA 4 engine.
  • It launches incredibly soon, on January 25, but fans don't expect it to last long.
  • With Rockstar's tendency to take down mods, one that ports an entire game is unlikely to escape its ire.

GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition launched in 2021 to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:immense backlash. F♉rom wonky, AI-upscaled textures to unsettling models and even new bugs, it was far from the definitive version of these games. But four year🦂s later, fans are trying to salvage the mess that Grove Street Games left behind.

Cue GTA V🀅ice City: Next-Gen Edition, which brings tꦇhe Miami-set classic to the GTA 4 engine, ie RAGE.

"This mod is not just another conversion of the city, but a complete transfer of all missions from the original game", . "The official remaster uses the Unreal Engine for rendering, but the game's physics engine is still RenderWareꦚ, released more than 20 years ago, with outdated mechanics and animations."

🌳We tried to collect all the best from previous v༺ersions of GTA: Vice City, package it, and release a 'remaster' that this game really deserves.

The mod launches♏ on January 25 — just four days from now — and to celebrate, the team released a brand-new trailer to show off their revamped, current-gen take on Vice City in action.

Fans Are Already Preparing For The Takedown

Rockstar has a habit of taking down mods. Only five days ago, the hotly-anticipated Liberty City Preservation Project, which sought to bring GTA 4's map into GTA 5, was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:taken down after conversations ♚with the developer.

Before the Definitive Edition trilogy launched, not only were the 🅘original games delisted, but several of their most popular mods were taken 💧down, too, paving the way for the official remasters to take their place.

Given that this mod ports all of Vice City, not just its map, few expect it to last long. Some are begging Rockstar to leave it be, others are warning fans to download and archive the mod before the inevitable happens, while some muse that it's "going strai🍨ght to a locker underwater."
