Grand Theft Auto Vice City NextGen Mod

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition Available for Download


Remember GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition? Well, good news everyone as this incredible project has finally been released. Yep, you can go ahead, download, and play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition right now. And the best part? It no longer requires the original game.

For those unaware, GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition brings all the missions, the whole map, and content from the original game to the RAGE Engine. This is an incredible project that all Vice City fans will appreciate.

GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition has an improved version of the city – and weapons – from the Definitive Edition. All the cars from the Xbox version of the original game will be present here. Additionally, all the models of all characters and peds will be from the Xbox version. From what we know, there are no plans to increase their polygon count. However, all 3D characters will have better textures.

All the original radio stations will also be present in this unofficial remaster. And although the project will have the cut-scenes and the style of the original game, it will also pack better particle effects and some lighting improvements.

As said, GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition started as a mod. However, it’s now available as a standalone free project. All you have to do is download and play it. The project does no longer require the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

As the modding team behind it stated:

“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.”

Here’s a TLDR of what happened. Two days before the release of GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition, Take-Two Interactive deleted the YouTube channel of the modding team. As Revolution Team claimed, Take-Two did this without any warning or attempt to contact them. So, from the looks of it, the team felt betrayed by this move. As such, it decided to give the middle finger to Take-Two, create a new YT channel, and release the mod as a standalone project.

You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a new trailer for it.

Take-Two will do its best to take down the video and the download link. Thus, I highly recommend downloading it while you still can. From what I’ve seen, this is one of the best remasters of Vice City. So, make sure to try it.

It’s a shame how Take-Two and Rockstar treat its modding community. Just a few days ago, Rockstar also shut down the GTA 4 Mod for GTA 5. And let’s not forget all the other fan remasters/mods they have taken down.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
