GTA Vice City: Next Gen Edition

A new fan-made remaster of GTA: Vice City will release January 25th, offering a complete transfer to the RAGE game engine from GTA IV. This project by the Revolution Team aims to provide what many consider the closest thing we'll get to an actual remaster for this beloved title.

  • What it features: The mod includes all story missions, collectibles, music & more.
  • Availability: Free and available for download on January 25th.

What aspects of GTA Vice City make you nostalgic and worth revisiting in any remaster or re-release?

How long till it gets taken down?

My bet is before release. Shoulda just made it available instead of announcing it.

I think this could be one of those times where they planned on announcing it with the intentions of it getting shut down.

It's actually one of my biggest annoyances, people announce projects they have no intentions of completing just to gain notoriety from having it get shut down.

Happy to report I was wrong. They released it as a torrent; I'm downloading it now

Me too, I've already downloaded it. Though I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I'm glad I was able to download it.

Well this is gonna get taken down asap.

Yayy free to download, they should probably add a torrent file/link to it as well for preservation, or as other already said, when it qets taken down.

Interesting choice of engine. I wonder if anyone will put together a guide for playing it on the Steam Deck.

Including all music is a HUGE mistake. He's going to get caught up in so much copyright infringement his head will spin

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That only gives rockstar 3 days to shut them down before release
