Or just Make an GTA LCS on pc, because one thing if we dont give in and Keep revoking the 5th and Set our VPNS and lie that we're in russia. They can't do nothing

Let's freaking go. When I saw this project, It reminded me of the old gta vice city rage mod from many years ago. Ever since I played the vice city rage mod, I've hoped of one day seeing it get completed with all the missions, and well that never got to happen since it was pretty much abandoned. But this really does feel like a proper spiritual successor to it. Excited to try this out.

The torrent is extra slow sadly to bad they did not provide direct download link, so many people are downloading it and there are to few seeders at the moment will get better over time

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Engine only for rendering, but the game’s physics engine is still RenderWare, released more than 20 years ago, with outdated mechanics and animations.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:

  Reveal hidden contents

• 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

I can't get it working on my steam deck..

They've changed even the intro, one thing i've noticed is the lack of the faggio in the spawn, but nonetheless great mod so far.

Hi, i started playing through the mod and noticed some bugs that i'd like to report, would it be possible to m one of the creators or anyone from the team so i can report these issues? 

 

[BENZIESMODS]

W need a discord for this mod where we can improve stuff

[Boostified]

This brings a tear to mans eye. Seeing this mod actually go all the way to the finish line ( after some road bumps undeniably ) and successfully release feels like a childhood dream come true, way to go Rev Team! Setting up an example for passionate and ambitious modders that pour their hearts out to make a vision come to life.

[BENZIESMODS]

Absolutely Amazing!

[ElVicioMan]

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you've selflessly done. This is a dream come true, ever since I was a kid, but the mod is one part. The youtube channel was a great loss, hours of live streams showing behind the scenes stuff and nuggets of info, videos and community posts full of promotional material, all to give that "official" feel while actually being free and for the people. You guys didn't just make a mod, you CREATED AN EXPERIENCE. Hopefully there's a backup of all of these videos and streams, and I hope the source code also gets released soon as that will propel the modding community forward by a lot of years!

[Yakamzu]

You guys are absolute legends! I'm downloading right now and I'll be sure to seed for a while

[Backyard Brawler]

Tried it, it is one of best mods ever. However, revolvers with Desert Eagle sounds are just immersion-breaking for me. You could just use Original VC Revoler sound or RDR Revoler sounds for it.

 

[GTA1122]

Great mod, few crashes here and there but I'm sure it'll be ironed out with time.

[JordanEFC]

Anyway to get this working on the Steam Deck?

Friends, you’re probably already know that just two days before the release, Take-Two Interactive deleted our YouTube channel without any warning or attempt to contact us.

 

A huge amount of effort and time was invested into the channel, including hundreds of hours of streams dedicated to the mod's development. Additionally, we lost connection with our international audience, which was a significant part of our community. The teaser trailer for GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition gained over 100 000 views and 1 500 comments in less than a day. Unfortunately, the channel was removed without any possibility of recovery.

 

This was a cruel move from them, but we have already accepted the situation, since we cannot influence it. We refrained from commenting, as we weren’t sure what further actions could follow. So, we decided not to take any risks which could disrupt the release.

 

These past two days have been emotionally tough for our team since we envisioned the release very differently — with a cozy stream dedicated to the long-awaited launch of the mod. But none of that matters anymore.

 

The most important thing now is that we released the project on the promised date. It’s unclear how long it will remain publicly available or whether there will be demands to take it down. We are not opposed to reuploads, but we cannot openly encourage you to do so. Do as you see fit.

 

P.S. 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. In light of the current uncertainties, we had to make this change to ensure the mod's stable performance for the widest possible audience.

If possible, please stay on seed for as long as you can.

 

We hope you enjoy taking a ride "familiar streets." Have fun playing, and thank you so much for sticking with us all this time. We see and deeply appreciate your support in the comments and messages

it's a great pity that Take-Two Interactive blocks modding initiatives that aim to maintain interest in their iconic games. Perhaps our project will serve as a precedent for the entire modding community.

LAUNCH TRAILER:

 

thanks, the game looks great so far.

 

btw, they included all the source files for the sco scripts in the GTA IV Vice City Next Gen version common -> data -> cdimages -> script_sources -> test -> script_vcr

Holy sh*t, man, if this was officially released by Rockstar Games, it would still be LIGHTYEARS ahead of Definitive Edition. For a first release, the game feels stable, and everything fits together surprisingly well. Sure, the GTA IV controls and physics feel a bit odd in such an old game, but it’s also funny .

There are a few things that could be improved, like clearing wanted level after finishing a mission or getting more ammo from picked-up weapons (so far, it’s just one mag). But honestly, it doesn’t even matter, it’s still the best thing ever.

 

Thanks to the entire team making this possible!

[Liberty King]

Better add It to Internet Archive,Re:LCS "survived" trough it

[gogsi123]

Congrats on your release!
I heard that you did some development streams, showcasing how you ported mission scripts. Sadly they seem to be gone since the YT channel was taken down. Does anyone have mirrors of them? I'd be very interested to watch through them

[Koger]

Game launches to a black screen. Anyone else experience something similar?

I'm afraid GTAF will nuke this thread the moment a download link is added. I'd just keep checking the TG channel, guys.

Your sentiment isn't shared with GTAF or GTANet whose top priority is staying in the good graces of R* and T2, so it can continue existing without challenge.

What the f*ck are you talking about? Clearly you're still replying in this thread crying your eyes out about something that's not happening, so... The thread isn't going anywhere, no reason for it to.

 

The re3 thread is still up alongside threads for other mods that have been taken down in the past. We've never taken down threads here unless formally requested - we don't host the mods, there's no harm in allowing discussion. In fact, I don't think we've ever been told to take down mod threads because T2 targets the source links/videos and whatever. Goes without saying that now that the Definitive Editions are out, a takedown like this is dumb lol.

 

As for them still sharing the mod despite the takedown... we'll see what happens. The takedown itself is dumb in the first place but I dunno what ignoring it (edit: and seemingly sharing the full game in retaliation...?) is gonna do.

Just wait for a bit. I’m not sure if this was a "fix," but while waiting, I also minimized the game, and after going back, the main menu finally showed up.

This is why I will always love GTAF 

[undergroundvicious]

Modders should always release their work from China, Russia or India.

 

Good luck with C&D, DMCA and any other BS on countries where it's free real estate copyright lol

[MaveriX]

Wanted circle is too small 

 

anybody know how i can increase the size through the scripts or something?

Finally

 

The game is brilliant, but have some issues. 

Maybe feature updates or mods will repair it.

Sometimes LOD didn't loading so You drive thru invincible city.

There are still many crashes - exit to Windows

Vehicles are too big and animation isn't fitted to steering wheel. Ther is good GTA IV 80's carpack: https://www.gtainside.com/en/gta4/cars/173552-lore-friendly-1980s-car-pack/

Peds - could me more of them, maybe some of GTA IV that fit to game (they have better animation and more polygons)

Tommy animations especially on bike looks ridicolous, should use Niko or Luis model with only head of Tommy with new texstures.

But over all this game is brilliant.
