Grand Theft Auto Vice City Nextgen Edition

[AndrewMulti]

 

GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition is a global modification based on the RAGE game engine from GTA IV. This mod is not just another conversion of the city to the next part of the series. This mod is a complete transfer of all missions from the original game. This will provide an entirely new gaming experience due to the improved physics and mechanics of the RAGE engine.
The official remaster uses the Unreal Engine only for rendering, but the game’s physics engine is still RenderWare, released more than 20 years ago, with outdated mechanics and animations. We are using the next generation engine. Yes, not its newest version, but the only one on which it’s possible to create such a modification with an original plot. That's why the mod is called Nextgen Edition. We have made an effort to bring together the best elements from previous versions of the game so that the beloved Vice City shines with new colors. This gives fans the opportunity to dive back into its familiar world and story while experiencing fresh emotions and a new perspective on playing their favorite game.

In this version of the mod, the following features are available:

Spoiler

• All story missions written completely from scratch
• Full-fledged in-game cutscenes on the RAGE engine
• All additional missions of city services
• Racing missions in Hyman Memorial Stadium
• Racing missions in Sunshine Autos
• Side missions of Sunshine Autos Import Garage
• Remote controlled vehicle missions in the Top Fun van
• Stunt Jumps
• Hidden Packages
• Full-fledged chets from the original game
• Improved version of the city from Definitive Edition
• Neon on buildings from Vice City Stories
• Improved weapons from Definitive Edition
• All vehicles from the Xbox version
• Several additional cars from GTA San Andreas (suitable for the atmosphere)
• Models of all characters and peds from the Xbox version (with improved textures)
• All original radio stations from the PS2 version (with the cut track Lionel Richie - Running With The Night)
• Loading screens and in-game design in the style of the original Vice City (including for 100% completion of the game)
• Additional fixes, improvements and several easter eggs from our team

THE LAST MESSAGE

Spoiler

Exactly a week ago, the project was released, and a lot has happened in these days.

 

First, our main YouTube channel was deleted, then Telegram was blocked, later the trailer was deleted from the new channel, and a couple of days ago we received an official complaint to VK group from the Entertainment Software Association, an organization representing the interests of the copyright holder. If you google it, you will find at the first link that the ****2 is a member of this association. At the request of the ESA, we had to delete certain posts. 

 

We are sorry that everything ends this way, but, unfortunately, we do not have the right to distribute any information about the mod, in order to avoid further problems. We are officially stopping support for the project. 

 

Do not worry, we’ve heard that the patch will be released from some enthusiasts. We have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with them.

Once again, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the entire community for your support! We never expected the project to receive such worldwide attention. We see everything, we read everything, and we deeply appreciate it.

 

This week will stay in our memory forever. We really made a lot of noise. We do not know whether our case will affect the policy regarding modding, but our story with mods is coming to an end here. There is no point in making projects if you can't talk about it openly and share it, especially when you know that everything might disappear within days. We hope for your understanding and kindly ask you not to escalate this situation.

 

Thank you for everything.

1. For editing existing missions or writing your own – \common\data\cdimages\script_sources
2. For translating the modification into other languages – \common\text\text_sources

Counting the days to release, Revolution Team! You should be proud! I can't wait to play VC in a better engine. IV being the first GTA I ever played, it really hindered my enjoyment. The only positive thing I got out of playing Vice City was my love for Ken and a new foudn appreciation for San Andreas and how uch gameplay improved.

 

...You wouldn't happen to have any more of those tools you used, would you?

 

 

Would any of those be releasing soon?

particularly for model i/o?

I can't wait to try this! GTA Vice City on the GTA IV engine? OMG that's a dream!

[Yutes of Cards]

How does even the chainsaw, flamethrower and minigun even works anyways?

[Platinum Card]

Looking forward to this. The trailers and preview videos are really well done. Great job Revolution Team!

Nice modification but there is just one cutscene where vice city has errors and that's the intro cutscene, I have provided the link to describe the error 

 

 

So my question was can you try to add this from the video?

[PhPmayan]

This is going to be one the most exciting mods ever created by the GTA modding community imo.

My hype for it is so high! same goes for Tightend'reas and LC'01!

Truly a revolutiuon indeed!

That's assuming Take-Two Interactive doesn't come in and make the mod go bye-bye.

 

All things considered, the mod looks very impressive. Even if Take-Two does end up taking the mod down, I hope this doesn't deter Revolution Team from developing mods, or even making their own games.

[WillzyyyGTA]

Releasing it on my birthday? Awww, you guys knew hehe 
But seriously, can't wait to play it and hope everything goes smoothly with the release!

Can't wait for your videos about it 

[Kaira]

Can't wait to try it, I was already excited after seeing this mod on YouTube. Thanks to you, Revolution Team, for porting this game into RAGE.

[Jayso]

I've been viewing this for a while now and its good to see it's releasing soon. Good job porting Vice City to IV, Revolution Team.

[suicidehummer]

So does this require you to have GTA IV? How does it work?

[Keith Ward]

Take Two already has their eyes on this mod, so anyone interested will have to get it quick smart.

[ElVicioMan]

The official Rev Team channel has been taken down about an hour ago. If you access the teaser in one of the links posted on their VK page, it will say: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright infringement claim made by Take-Two Interactive."

Well, what now? Does that meaning it will not be released on January 25th because of Take Two's intervention?

I'm not sure, we'll have to wait and see what the team says on their VK page. They also have a telegram group, it can be found on one of OP's replies on his profile

[BrynnaDaRosa]

I feel like this has to do with the fact that the mod seems to be a standalone client as opposed to needing a valid legal install of IV to use? In that case, yeah, i can understand its a legal grey area...

Considering the current situation in Russia, I'd be surprised if a western company trying to sue individual Russian citizens would get anywhere past being served a subpoena

Well, that meaning Take Two would definitely get a backfire if they tried to take down Nextgen mod.

T2 has zero jurisdiction in second or third world countries. They can't do sh*t if you're not in Western Europe or the US/Canada basically...few parts of Asia as well, such as Japan.
lol bruh yourself knobhead, it's the truth...those russians are pussies

Edited February 10 by 86DX

[dudekoles]

I had a feeling that this gonna happen, to bad they announced the release date, it seams that only way to do big mods now is to do it by suprise. I Hope they will still go thru with the release or do it less officialy as a leak of some sorts it would be a shame to see the work go to waste

Yeah, perhaps a disclaimer like "A legal copy of GTA IV and EFLC is required to play this conversion mod" - or something. Either way I'm sure it would have been a similar result. If they do still release it, would it even be safe to showcase anything on social media, even screenshots? People are still uploading that GTA V Liberty City mod so who knows lol.

RIP YouTube channel

It should be one of the GTA modding commandments in order for bigger mods to avoid similar situations with Take-Two.

Unless the mod team confirms otherwise, it seems to be in a Schrödinger's state right now.
