GTA Vice City Next Gen Edition is pretty crazy.
Seeing GTAVC run in real-time on top of the GTA 4 engine with all its cars, NPCs and even missions included is what The Definitive Edition should have been. Modders truly are incredible.pic.twitter.com/U2QC0Ncw8R

GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition gameplay and new features
GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition will feature an improved version of the city with weapons from the Definitive Edition. It will also feature all the cars from the Xbox version of the original game. Moreover, the game will also have all the models of all characters and peds from the Xbox version. The Nextgen Edition also provided better textures for all 3D characters.
The game also features all of the original radio stations and cutscenes and the style of the original game with better particle effects and lighting improvements. However, the most exciting part is that the project is now a standalone free project. This means that the game no longer requires the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
In an attempt to show respect to the publisher, the mod previously required users to own a legitimate copy of Grand Theft Auto IV but Revolution Team has now released it as a standalone, installation-ready package that can be accessed for free.
“In light of the current uncertainties, we had to make this change to ensure the mod’s stable performance for the widest possible audience,” their statement said.

GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition how to download
The game initially started out as a mod, but it is now available as a standalone project. Since the game is a mod, Take-Two will seemingly try to take down the video and the download link which can be found on GTA Forums. As such, players should download it as soon as they can. Just a few days ago, Rockstar shut down the GTA 4 Mod for GTA 5.
The mod is complete and can be downloaded now online. The whole game of VC has been ported to GTA4’s RAGE engine, including the whole map, missions, side missions etc, built by a team of 4 people.
GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition is a global modification based on the RAGE game engine from GTA IV and will provide an entirely new gaming experience due to the improved physics and mechanics of the RAGE engine.
Take-Two Interactive strikes beef with GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition
While fans and gamers are excited about the new release, Take-Two Interactive is seemingly not happy with it. Two days ahead of the release, Take-Two Interactive deleted the modding team’s YouTube channel. According to the modding team, Take-Two deleted the channel without any warning or attempt to contact them.
As such, the modding team decided to hit back and instead created a new YouTube channel and released the new mod as a standalone project. The modding team 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”.”
They further added:
Just download, install, and play. There are no issues with version compatibility since the mod is now fully autonomous.”
