Revolution Team is currently working on a next-gen remaster mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in the GTA 4 RAGE Engine. This mod aims to be faithful to the original game and retain its art style. Below you can also find its debut trailer, so be sure to watch it.
GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition will be a complete transfer of all missions from the original game to the RAGE Engine. The mod currently targets a 2025 release date. So yeah, it will be a while until we can actually play it.
The mod will have 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.
In short, this will be a faithful remaster of Vice City. Also, since it will be a mod for GTA4, we can assume that it won’t be taken down by Take-Two. Or at least we hope so.
Speaking of GTA5, we suggest taking a look at these free mods for it. For instance, we have this mod that overhauls over 70 side characters. Then there is this Real Life Beverly Hills Mod. NaturalVision Evolved Mod is a graphical overhaul mod that aims to improve the game’s lighting. In August, we also shared a mod that restored all the songs that were cut from the game. And then we have all the amazing mods that JulioNIB has shared over the past few years.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
