VC Released Vice City: BETA Edition

[Kalvin 11,134]

 

Vice City: BETA Edition is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City with the goal of returning most, or if not all cut features in development (at least, what is known and/or is possible).

This will include/restore things such as removed buildings, cut dialogue, pedestrian looks, general atmosphere & much more to deliver the most authentic experience.

 

All information comes from several sources, such as BradyGames' Official Strategy Guide, Manual / Pre-Release Screenshots & Leftover Files.

I don't plan to make anything which has little to no proof of its existence in the alpha/beta stages of the game's development, however some improvising may be done.

The latest version currently out is V3.5.6.

Good work.

[BeingARK 475]

Whoa, that's some decent progress! Anyways, since you are good at creating stuff from illustrations, maybe try creating this Avery Carrington?

 

 

 

 

And also, are you thinking of recreating the BETA weapon icons as shown in these screenshots?

[Kalvin 11,134]

Ooh, I didn't know of those, there certainly is a temptation to remake them! I'll probably release them as a separate mod though, seeing as they're sketches and never actually seen in-game.

 

Also, I updated my previous post to include before + pre-release screenshots, can be seen in the spoilers below each image.

[Sneed 12,767]

still PC hud ring and not PS2 (which matches the one in beta screenshot)

GODDAMMIT KALVIN!

That's surprising that you didn't knew Anyways, these two websites will help you greatly!

Well done, Steve!

[gts. 2,302]

Great work Kalvin, from the topic to the last detail... until now . Time to break Vice, huh? Just kidding, the joke is getting old though. Can't wait for 1st beta/download/whatever.

[Jinx. 7,752]

kevin jokes > broke mods jokes

fact

 

 

nice job kevin

[polivin emil 121]

Will the mod include beta missions?

[dkluin 29,710]

 

>kids releasing mods that are mostly commented on by kidsgg ~15-year-olds!

Ofcourse not, bas has something against age, I guess.

[BeingARK 475]

Will the mod include beta missions?

Kalvin's not so experienced with scripting, so I don't think there will be any major script changes for the time being.

[Rachel Amber 668]

goooood work Kalvin Thats gr8 made that we have for vc

[Ruvix 481]

Yo Kalvin look what I found

I hope you will find something interesting
Anyway great work man keep it up because as far as I know this is the only VC Beta Mod

[DMThePro123 318]

I hope there is a good release unlike the San Andreas: BETA Edition one. Like some people say, the second one is better than the first one.

[Solidcal 731]

I hope there is a good release unlike the San Andreas: BETA Edition one. Like some people say, the second one is better than the first one.

I am wondering what you mean by that. You mean in the sense of it just being a one download only release?

 

OT: Also good work as always Kalvo.
