SA Released Vice City Stories: PC Edition

[Ash_735]

Will Beta3 have gang zones - you know Rednecks driving around trailer park, Cubans in Little Havana, Cholos in Little Haiti and Bikers around the Greasy Chopper bar. Will you also make some gangs hate each other - you know - for example when Cuban meet a Cholo they start to fight

YES, Oh so yes! Luten's now got the Cubans and Cholos spawning as gangs in their respected Zones and it really does make the city feel more alive, especially with the San Andreas gang behavior where gangs would run off and mock the police the police, etc, and yes they do fight when they cross paths, and gang members will start to chase you and ram yopur vehicle if they see you stealing another gang members car, etc.

It would be awesome if we could conquer gangzones for our own gang like in SA, but it has nothing to do with the original VCS so I guess it'll have to stay in my mind only

 

The prosperity of any GTA game nowadays relies on what the multiplayer has to offer, and now that also applies to total convertions. So although we dont have certain features in the singleplayer, we can script them ourselves in the multiplayer (if it ever happens for this mod). Just imagine DM servers and RolePlay servers running on VCS. Both gamemode types can offer unlimited possibilities.

Yeah, that sounds like too much of a custom thing. If people hate such a minor thing as climbing (NOT gonna cut it EVER), they'll for sure hate that too

[mlks10]

will have to eat or not to restore life or just the icons heart ?

[Silent]

Eating and hunger has been cut in BETA2 already. Since King Knuts is available, we may restore a VC-style eating system (walk in a marker and pay some money to get your health boosted), but definitely not full SA system.

[XTad]

Stop complaining about bullsh*ts and let them do their work!

[Alek-say]

Have you converted some ped's animations?

[HackMan128]

 

Why do people want diving removed?

They are pathetic malcontents. When Vice City has no swimming there was indignations.

Someone noticed, we have 1 million views?

[elMarcoPL]

Lol! Good job.. us!

Rumpo:

 

[Junior.]

Awesome, City!

[nkjellman]

Nice work. I know you have been converting the vehicles in order before, so I'm wondering, has the Rhino been converted?

[Redwood Cigarettes]

If I want to have pure VCS experience I power on my PS2.

This sounds a little egoistically you know. Not everyone have a ps2 and not everyone have a pc powerful enough to emulate vcs with good fps and decent graphics. For someone vcs pc edition is the only way to finally play vcs.

That is a ridiculous analogy, it's cheaper to buy a used PS2 & a copy of VCS than it is to buy a PC, internet connection & copy of SA to download and play this mod.

 

This mod is simply bringing us the port that Rockstar didn't, albeit a few nice changes here and there as it's based on SA.

 

OT: Great work so far, I will be following this topic closely, can't wait to play the final build

Based on this, we can assume that he skipped the Rhino, as it's not configured to work with SA, yet

Personally I would want both the 30 second limit pre Beach Patrol and no climbing (especially no climbing) most people are going to disagree by the look of it though. I don't own a PS2 or VCS I basically just want a port how R* would've done it diving wouldn't make much of a difference though and it might not make sense putting the limit in before you can do Beach Patrol but I think it future versions they should be an option to disable climbing and enable the 30 second limit until unlocked.

The ultimate thing to do would be to just release 2 versions of this mod:

The first would be port version - with everything just like the ps2 version.

and the second would be extra features version - with climbing, diving etc..

Don't you think that way too devs?

I have a better idea. Make 2 New Game Option

 

- Start VCS PCE (Direct PS2 port)

- Start VCS PCE (Enhanced port)

 

That way silent only needs to leave a check on his script to decide whether or not those extra feature should be load/unload

 

Heck, maybe it's best to just add an option in the installer

[Ash_735]

I disagree, because if we go down that line, we'll have to start pandering to EVERY single thing you guys ask for.

 

If you don't want to climb, ...don't Climb, we've proofed over the map now so that it can handle the climbing ability, we've also made various map fixes, if you're going to bitch at us for fixing up stuff, then to be honest, you're just going to drive us away, the entire aim of the project from the get go was to recreate VCS as best as possible with a few SA features as a bonus, if you suddenly don't agree with that, then that's your problem, not ours, we have more people asking for extra stuff than we do asking us to cut stuff.

[Mateos]

The "check" would depend anyway on a lot of variables still, depending how much they will add or not to the PC edition

I'm talking to the trolls, so calm down

 

Whichever way you guys handle we will still follow VCS PCE until final build (Assuming the team still works), and we know well how you aim to finalize this mod

Neon update:

 

[ThirteenAG]

Yummy

[Leone Sentinel]

Looks beautiful, can't wait for BETA3!

[[PTM]Al_Pacino]

World environment is one of the things that Vice City Stories win over Vice City. You can feel the 80's excess a lot more in VCS because of the neons, the sunshine effects, the clothing... and the soundtrack is at Vice City's level or perhaps better.

VCS feels a lot more tropical and Miami. While GTA Vice City has more of a GTA III continuation with the professional touch.

Anyways keep on rocking

Meanwhile, on my side...

Nice trolling

Just kidding. Perhaps there was something wrong.

[elMarcoPL]

What was there?

Some random testing, multimonitor appears to work fine:
