Remember: Everytime they take down one of these mods, isn't because of their assets stolen or any BS they tell you, it's because of *_censorship._* They actually are afraid of the idea of people looking at a good looking GTA game.

They didn't cared about those games, Take 2 and Rockstar just throws the source codes to a small third-party development team without giving them RAGE for it, they're like those kids that keeps the good toys to themselves while giving their friends the crappy ones
We add mods,rockstar and take-two takes the cool mods down and they wonder:"WhY NoOne WaNtS tO pLaY GtA aNyMoRe?!" They take down the cool mods because the mooders did a better job than the company does.which Rockstar and Take-two finds it as a insult.
So let me get this straight: The developers for Fallout 76 don’t care about players modding But Rockstar and Take2 Care and Shut down the modding DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE
You're right about needing a copy at first I saw it on the gtaforums What they basically said was "We wanted you to own the original game to run this mod out of respect of rockstar, but after the takedown of the yt channel we decided to make it standalone" Something like that
I already own gta iv so i wouldn't have any problems but ik many people who would've bought gta iv just for this mod (they love vc) I'm not a big fan of VC myself but I've been playing the mod (or standalone game) and it's AWESOME
All this situation proves is R* is not worth giving my money to anymore, no respect for their community and the people who contribute to their projects and make it better.
They don't need to convince me any further to not get gta 6 or pirate it (I probably can't on console). Yet they keep on advertising on why not to pay for it in any capacity.
Even though Take-Two Shuts down their TH-cam Channel, These Guys still released it, They stood their ground. Since you going to play this version, This will be your first game that is Made by Modders and Love. Can't wait.
I didn't know Russia doesn't follow western copyright laws. So glad to know that Take2 cannot take down the mod. I was really upset as I was really looking forward to play this mod. GTA Vice City holds a special place in my heart and I have always wanted Vice City to be remastered. The Revolution Team did amazing job at it. I hope you'll be able to play it on your channel I would love to watch the playthrough. Thanks for making this video.
Even if they cared about western copylaws, they couldn't be tried since they are in Russia. Russian justice system doesn't care about those modders, unless they offend authorities.
It's not that copyrights are not respected in Russia. Due to recent events, many large IT companies have left Russia. It is not possible to officially purchase programs and games. T2 is one of these companies. Before they left, their rights were protected just like everywhere else in the world.

Good video man, it a a huge shame what happened. Yes it did require a copy of GTA 4 before and when I made my video.. but then they changed it since they got striked.
@@30THMAN. Like it's up to you dude. There's a lot of popular games in the past that are considered shovelware now. Most people prefer downloading it for free than buying it due to lack of support from the publisher. (C&C Generals for example)
Sometimes I wish everyone would be convinced but sadly the majority don’t care and will just buy the game because it’s GTA. Some of us like myself won’t buy it but many others will regardless of rockstar and take two actions.
If there was a global boycott of GTA 6 and they didn't even break even until a year or two after release, it would probably be the biggest gaming community accomplishment in history. But kids don't care. Just kids under 15 buying it is going to make them a profit on day one. Kids won't care.
I'm optimistic but heavily skeptical about GTA6. One thing that makes me think it won't be a true GTA experience is how the taketwo CEO said that its humor will be toned down. The humor/ satire made the GTA universe so fun. It also had smart social commentary within the satire. Toning down that humor would make it feel like a GTA knockoff rather than a actual GTA game.
The only thing Take 2 is good at is screwing the fans. We need to honestly boycott this company. With the way they treat fans, they don't deserve to have GTA 6 become the best selling game of all time.
I refuse to believe this isn’t motivated by jealousy they could care less about assets being reused in mods. Everyone knows that rockstar has been losing support over the years and the modders have been praised for their efforts in keeping the games alive.
They took it down because it's 'competing' with their product, so they lose money because it's actually better and people playing it free. It's capitalism at work.
For anyone wanting to try the mod, be careful-there’s a ton of fakes out there. The Revolution team actually has an official channel on VK (it’s basically like Facebook, but in Russia, if you’ve never heard of it). They provide the official link, and it’s a torrent. Take-Two literally can’t do anything about it, LOL.
I am of the sound opinion that RS took it down because of the fan project being better than something official . They simply do not like how the fans were able to make them look bad by releasing something better than an official product. Its a New Vegas situation where other people made something better and made the previous work look weak by comparison. You are indeed correct how this will backfire badly via a Streisand effect.
“Take2 cant do shit excuse my language” actually dont excuse ur language. That was perfectly said 😂😂 Also what i would do is i would make a new TH-cam channel maybe an do the playthru on there bc even if lets say you get a copyright strike it wont be on your main channel so there’ll be nothing to worry about
Quick update, Mod is released, and they actually did it better, they made it entirely STANDALONE. Their mod doesn't require any of GTA games to play, it's install and play
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WE NEED TO USE TAKE TWO INTERACTIVE TWO MODS IN TWO MONTHS THEY TOOK DOWN TAKE TWO HAS TAKEN TOO MUCH FROM US WE NEED TO END THIS THEY OFFER NO ALTERNITIVES FOR THIS AND THEY REMOVED IT WE NEED TO SUE ROCKSTAR
I remember some people used to make Homebrew ports of GTA games for older consoles, most of them requires the copy of the official game to play it, GTA VC has an unofficial 3DS port but it's broken because Take 2 found out that the modders were porting GTA III and VC there and forced them to discontinue it, what I'm surprised is that there are all 3 GTA games playable on the PS Vita by fans and some of them are modable, SA is running the mobile port (due to limitations) but it's improved by making it as the original version, someone also made an mod for it to add new contents and restoring the unused ones
this mod is beautiful, you can tell that the creators are really gta fans, through and through if you have a pc that can run this, you have to play, you wont regret the fact this is a fan made mod is insane. obviously, it is fan made so there are some glitchy moments & couple things missing but the level of polish that this has, honestly there was time where i forgot this was running on the tbogt engine, it truly feels like a genuine definitive editionor in this case 'nextgen' honestly im impressed, nothing gamebreaking only occasional crashes the attention to detail is also very good, there are hidden packages and weapon pickups and etc and you can now even park infront of the ocean view hotel which i thought was super nice it even plays like vice city itself, e.g. you cant buy properties that you havent unlocked yet, i was on the Gonzalez mission and tried to buy the boatyard and couldn't because i wasn't far enough into the game (i sailed/swam across to the other island) so this is a whole game in and of itself, not some map mod like liberty i havent played that much only a few hours, but i have to say it doesnt feel janky at all, quite the opposite ive heard some people attempting to speedrun it in the future which is an interesting thought to say the least but yh 10/10 rn
I was told that the professional is Polish-American! Very proud of you brother for your always so in-depth dedicated content, that bring people joy. All the best from Polska! 🇵🇱 If u ever visit the old country, make sure to announce it!
After reading a very few comments that "hate modders" in your videos Nintendo fans 🤝Rockstar fans Being a braindead community that would rather bootlicking their beloved companies so much instead of respecting modders' years of hardwork. They will still buy Switch 2 and GTA 6 regardless of whatever the situations is. Keep up the good video man.
Played this mod yesterday and it is much, much better than Definitive Edition. It's like a new vision of Vice City, the game looks and plays very modern now. Same missions but new feeling.
I once wanted to learn how to mod the old GTA games. But things like this make that goal difficult. It seems like the best thing modders can do right now is find a way to share their mods offline somehow. Maybe even organize some kind of social event where they can show their mods to other people locally, like a modding demoscene.
better job? dude it's just mods, I agree that what these modders did was a little better than the GTA trilogy, but it doesn't compare to Rockstar Games in general, I'm not very impressed with a mod in GTA VC with the mechanics of GTA 4, it's even funny to see Tommy moving like Niko Bellic 😂😂😂 but it was fun, but if these modders wanted to market and sell this Mod I wouldn't pay to play it, and I'm being honest about that
Nah. The Professional has sweared a lot in the past. It's just the TH-cam Kids thing that has ruined TH-cam overall where you can't swear a lot in a Non TH-cam Kids vid anymore
Two fun facts: 1) This team are the same team who were making VC2 (a VC sequel that took place in present days) that was also taken down by T2 around 2021. So they have their fair share of history with T2 in the past. 2) As far as I know as T2 doesn't have any official reps in Russia since 2022, so other then taking down the TH-cam channel the is not much else they can do about the mod and the team
Hmm as a life long gta fan between this and the liberty city mod thing I really feel no desire to play any of their games again anymore, as I'll always be reminded of what smegheads they've become, like their was no reason for this, and the liberty city preservation mod would have bought them more time and kept the community happy while they wait for 6 like its a proper grade a shitheaded type of thing to do, like I almost WISH the buyout in 08 with EA would have worked, so at the very least rockstar would have stayed in our memory as an actually good game company granted then no gta 4, the two good episodes and the last good red dead game then but still like they've literally become Dennis Leary in his old song asshole that I remember someone making a gta SA fan video of back in the day and watch take twos gonna read this, and take that down too
I’m in the mind set that gaming companies would pleased the fans of there products. For a long while it appears a few companies want to upset or displease the fans or other Corporate are incapable to make solid games. The whole mod business is ridiculous. Let people have enjoyment. All there doing like Professional said: It’s gonna end badly for them. Rockstar just wore purple and turn into vice kings.
It puts an smile on my face every time I prize a mod list for any of the GTA games stating how the modding community has more passion and talent than R* and I got roasted for that. Being a R* simping zombie and kneel before a corporation that couldn´t care less about you, how sad.
I've been juggling playing this mod among a couple other games this weekend and let me tell you, it has been fantastic. There are some things like "Demolition man" actually being difficult now because of GTA IV's more weighty feeling vehicles and it sometimes crashes here and there, but still. Looks good, mission scripts are all there, we got updated cutscenes in some missions, the mechanics are updated from swimming to answering your phone in the car, climbing, moving while crouching, drive-by shooting (which they promised in the Defective edition, but never delivered), it has it all, all working with the newer physics engine too. And this was a handful of fans from Russia. Without any incentive for profit. And I think that last point is what makes Take 2 and Rockstar look like absolute clowns, an entire circus even. That's exactly why they didn't want people to know about this.
As a guy from Russia, my initial reaction in these strikes was "Oh no! Anyways...". Now seeing it basically explode in Western parts of the ethernet genuinely makes me happy. Like holy, it got out of hand. I thought it will be forgotten in all of the liberty city restoration project situation and etc. but it is indeed unexpected. Never thought i will say this but... Guys... If you want to develop a mod and need a legal protection layer (kinda like the magic of Saul Goodman)... Russia is kinda open for ya.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret-I got in trouble with GameStop for something I said. I won an OLED Nintendo Switch from a Twitch streamer, and without thinking, I blurted out in the store that I didn’t have to pay for it because I won it for free. At the time, I wasn’t really thinking about the impact of my words. But what I said could have cost them money-why buy a Nintendo Switch when you can just get one for free in a giveaway? That was really stupid of me to say. This situation makes me think about how modders are doing something similar to Rockstar Games. They’re preventing Rockstar from making money off their games because of these mods. In a way, they’re taking money off the developers’ tables-stealing food right out of their mouths. It’s the same with piracy. Why buy a game when you can just pirate it or download it for free? I get it if the game isn’t available for purchase anymore, either in stores or online, but it’s still wrong to take something that’s meant to be paid for."
Careful pro this might get you a strike if their youtube channel went down i think that is self explanatory enough if you ask me. Dont think its that worth risking your channel for some mod.
This is starting to worry me. Back in 2012 I had a very popular machinima series which revolved around a San Andreas mod for GTA 4. I Haven't made any video about it since 2013 but somehow I'm afraid they'll close my channel. Would be really stupid as those videos aren't relevant anymore, but all of them gathered around 1 million views. I hope nothing happens
these project really should just did a shadowdrop, man. no announcement, no updates, no nothing, just release it. I think the other team of modder that still working on thier projects should be aware of these tactics by now, since big companies had taken down a few fan projects before, like the gta underground, h2m for cod mwr and others.
Not the first time T2 went after a creator. This happened to a borderlands YTer. They sent people to his house to intimidate him and he caved. Ended up leaving YT afaia
Here’s the harsh reality: Modders don’t do anything truly creative. They take what’s already been done and recreate it with little to no change. Maybe they open up some interiors, maybe they update the textures-but in the end, they aren’t creating anything new. You know what is creative? The GTA Frosted Winter mod, for example. It takes the story of GTA III and reimagines it through Joey Leone’s eyes, showing the betrayal of Toni Cipriani. That’s a unique spin on the original story, and it offers something fresh. Or look at the GTA Sindacco Chronicles mod, which takes GTA Liberty City Stories and tells the story through JD O'Toole’s perspective. The GTA Forelli Redemption mod does something similar with GTA III, telling the story from the Forelli family’s point of view. Each of these mods has new missions, new collectibles, and unique narrative twists. That’s what real creativity looks like-bringing new ideas, new stories, and a fresh perspective to the table. That’s where the heart and soul of modding lies
@@LoRdDyY45 But your logic doesn't make any sense! If they don't want players to play their older titles, then why even put a discount on it? They WANT us to play all of their titles because this will make them more money.
@@CosplayMarin The same titles Rockstar pulled from all storefronts after releasing a shit show remaster of those games then only brought back because of the backlash?

Are you going to make a video about Joseph Melendez, the voice actor of El Rubio? I recently found out that he died in September 2023
I refuse to believe this isn’t motivated by jealousy they could care less about assets being reused in mods. Everyone knows that rockstar has been losing support over the years and the modders have been praised for their efforts in keeping the games alive.
Ubisoft, ea, take two, Activision, bunch of fairies they are.
Casual day of take two being take two.....
Can't believe that this is the norm....
well. good luck take two interactive. you wont be able to taking down those mods take two (Take two gonna be pissed seeing it lol)
There's nothing Take Two can do about it now.
@@rulue8610 yup. Its very true
Boondocks reference at the beginning is hilarious
Take 2 are as bad as Nintendo when they down pokemon rom hacks for pokemon they take those down
They took it down because it's 'competing' with their product, so they lose money because it's actually better and people playing it free. It's capitalism at work.
Pro is cultured asf for that intro
Its so weird game companies end up hating the people who made them millions. Every single one enters this stage once they get big enough.
Just like celebrities and influencers.
For anyone wanting to try the mod, be careful-there’s a ton of fakes out there. The Revolution team actually has an official channel on VK (it’s basically like Facebook, but in Russia, if you’ve never heard of it). They provide the official link, and it’s a torrent. Take-Two literally can’t do anything about it, LOL.
I am of the sound opinion that RS took it down because of the fan project being better than something official . They simply do not like how the fans were able to make them look bad by releasing something better than an official product. Its a New Vegas situation where other people made something better and made the previous work look weak by comparison. You are indeed correct how this will backfire badly via a Streisand effect.
“Take2 cant do shit excuse my language” actually dont excuse ur language. That was perfectly said 😂😂
Also what i would do is i would make a new TH-cam channel maybe an do the playthru on there bc even if lets say you get a copyright strike it wont be on your main channel so there’ll be nothing to worry about
Video starts at 1:00
I hope rockstar goes bankrupt
Take Two the most needs to be bankrupt and criticized also
Funny thing is: The modders wanted you to have GTA IV to installed and know it is a standalone mod running on an installer and nothing else needed.
Let's face it everyone, no matter what happens Rockstar and TakeTwo will never face backlash or fail.. They can get away from anything
Quick update, Mod is released, and they actually did it better, they made it entirely STANDALONE. Their mod doesn't require any of GTA games to play, it's install and play
Take 2? more like Take Everything Down💀
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WE NEED TO USE TAKE TWO INTERACTIVE TWO MODS IN TWO MONTHS THEY TOOK DOWN TAKE TWO HAS TAKEN TOO MUCH FROM US WE NEED TO END THIS THEY OFFER NO ALTERNITIVES FOR THIS AND THEY REMOVED IT WE NEED TO SUE ROCKSTAR
I remember some people used to make Homebrew ports of GTA games for older consoles, most of them requires the copy of the official game to play it, GTA VC has an unofficial 3DS port but it's broken because Take 2 found out that the modders were porting GTA III and VC there and forced them to discontinue it, what I'm surprised is that there are all 3 GTA games playable on the PS Vita by fans and some of them are modable, SA is running the mobile port (due to limitations) but it's improved by making it as the original version, someone also made an mod for it to add new contents and restoring the unused ones
this mod is beautiful, you can tell that the creators are really gta fans, through and through
if you have a pc that can run this, you have to play, you wont regret
the fact this is a fan made mod is insane.
obviously, it is fan made so there are some glitchy moments & couple things missing
but the level of polish that this has, honestly there was time where i forgot this was running on the tbogt engine, it truly feels like a genuine definitive editionor in this case 'nextgen'
honestly im impressed, nothing gamebreaking only occasional crashes
the attention to detail is also very good, there are hidden packages and weapon pickups and etc
and you can now even park infront of the ocean view hotel which i thought was super nice
it even plays like vice city itself, e.g. you cant buy properties that you havent unlocked yet, i was on the Gonzalez mission and tried to buy the boatyard and couldn't because i wasn't far enough into the game (i sailed/swam across to the other island)
so this is a whole game in and of itself, not some map mod like liberty
i havent played that much only a few hours, but i have to say it doesnt feel janky at all, quite the opposite
ive heard some people attempting to speedrun it in the future which is an interesting thought to say the least
but yh 10/10 rn
I was told that the professional is Polish-American! Very proud of you brother for your always so in-depth dedicated content, that bring people joy. All the best from Polska! 🇵🇱 If u ever visit the old country, make sure to announce it!
3:48 he means the new Rage engine from GTA IV, Rdr, rdr2, gta v VS the renderware engine.
After reading a very few comments that "hate modders" in your videos
Nintendo fans 🤝Rockstar fans
Being a braindead community that would rather bootlicking their beloved companies so much instead of respecting modders' years of hardwork. They will still buy Switch 2 and GTA 6 regardless of whatever the situations is.
Keep up the good video man.
I’m not excited for either of them
Hey guys, you have to download it as fast as you can. It is awesome 😎
Played this mod yesterday and it is much, much better than Definitive Edition. It's like a new vision of Vice City, the game looks and plays very modern now. Same missions but new feeling.
Don't forget to keep seeding the torrent guys!
9:35 the link is still there professional
Take-Two are a actual villains in the gamers story
I once wanted to learn how to mod the old GTA games. But things like this make that goal difficult. It seems like the best thing modders can do right now is find a way to share their mods offline somehow. Maybe even organize some kind of social event where they can show their mods to other people locally, like a modding demoscene.
Vice City with GTA 4 like physics? I'm checking this out.
Rockstar: We're taking down your mods and channels because you did a better job than us
Us: Well do better then!
Rockstar: No
better job? dude it's just mods, I agree that what these modders did was a little better than the GTA trilogy, but it doesn't compare to Rockstar Games in general, I'm not very impressed with a mod in GTA VC with the mechanics of GTA 4, it's even funny to see Tommy moving like Niko Bellic 😂😂😂 but it was fun, but if these modders wanted to market and sell this Mod I wouldn't pay to play it, and I'm being honest about that
Ah yes good ol Shark Card Zelnick strikes again
I’m getting tired of that guy.
I wish I could see the executives of Take Two crying over the fact that the Revolution Team is Russia based and they can't do shit to them:))
We got theprofessional swearing before gta 6
Nah. The Professional has sweared a lot in the past. It's just the TH-cam Kids thing that has ruined TH-cam overall where you can't swear a lot in a Non TH-cam Kids vid anymore
Two fun facts:
1) This team are the same team who were making VC2 (a VC sequel that took place in present days) that was also taken down by T2 around 2021. So they have their fair share of history with T2 in the past.
2) As far as I know as T2 doesn't have any official reps in Russia since 2022, so other then taking down the TH-cam channel the is not much else they can do about the mod and the team
Instead of censoring, why don’t they just do better?!
Hmm as a life long gta fan between this and the liberty city mod thing I really feel no desire to play any of their games again anymore, as I'll always be reminded of what smegheads they've become, like their was no reason for this, and the liberty city preservation mod would have bought them more time and kept the community happy while they wait for 6
like its a proper grade a shitheaded type of thing to do, like I almost WISH the buyout in 08 with EA would have worked, so at the very least rockstar would have stayed in our memory as an actually good game company
granted then no gta 4, the two good episodes and the last good red dead game then but still
like they've literally become Dennis Leary in his old song asshole that I remember someone making a gta SA fan video of back in the day
and watch take twos gonna read this, and take that down too
Remember when Rockstar used to acknowledge GTA mods back then, especially San Andreas? Damn, everything went 180 aftet "that" mod
I’m in the mind set that gaming companies would pleased the fans of there products.
For a long while it appears a few companies want to upset or displease the fans or other Corporate are incapable to make solid games. The whole mod business is ridiculous. Let people have enjoyment. All there doing like Professional said: It’s gonna end badly for them. Rockstar just wore purple and turn into vice kings.
It puts an smile on my face every time I prize a mod list for any of the GTA games stating how the modding community has more passion and talent than R* and I got roasted for that. Being a R* simping zombie and kneel before a corporation that couldn´t care less about you, how sad.
I've been juggling playing this mod among a couple other games this weekend and let me tell you, it has been fantastic. There are some things like "Demolition man" actually being difficult now because of GTA IV's more weighty feeling vehicles and it sometimes crashes here and there, but still. Looks good, mission scripts are all there, we got updated cutscenes in some missions, the mechanics are updated from swimming to answering your phone in the car, climbing, moving while crouching, drive-by shooting (which they promised in the Defective edition, but never delivered), it has it all, all working with the newer physics engine too.
And this was a handful of fans from Russia. Without any incentive for profit.
And I think that last point is what makes Take 2 and Rockstar look like absolute clowns, an entire circus even. That's exactly why they didn't want people to know about this.
As a guy from Russia, my initial reaction in these strikes was "Oh no! Anyways...". Now seeing it basically explode in Western parts of the ethernet genuinely makes me happy. Like holy, it got out of hand. I thought it will be forgotten in all of the liberty city restoration project situation and etc. but it is indeed unexpected.
Never thought i will say this but... Guys... If you want to develop a mod and need a legal protection layer (kinda like the magic of Saul Goodman)... Russia is kinda open for ya.
0:30 my thoughts about rockstar
Are you gonna do a gameplay for this?
If Strauss Zelnick retires or dies some day I wonder if this will end the war on mods?
GTA Underground, Liberty City Preservation Project, now Vice City Next Gen... we need to protect these mods at all cost.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret-I got in trouble with GameStop for something I said. I won an OLED Nintendo Switch from a Twitch streamer, and without thinking, I blurted out in the store that I didn’t have to pay for it because I won it for free. At the time, I wasn’t really thinking about the impact of my words. But what I said could have cost them money-why buy a Nintendo Switch when you can just get one for free in a giveaway? That was really stupid of me to say.
This situation makes me think about how modders are doing something similar to Rockstar Games. They’re preventing Rockstar from making money off their games because of these mods. In a way, they’re taking money off the developers’ tables-stealing food right out of their mouths. It’s the same with piracy. Why buy a game when you can just pirate it or download it for free? I get it if the game isn’t available for purchase anymore, either in stores or online, but it’s still wrong to take something that’s meant to be paid for."
It's on Tоrrеnt now and Rockstar can do nothing about it:)
Let's just hope the team sees the community backup and goes onto make GTA SA next!
Play driver games where you play as tanner pls
The professional activates ghost in real life
That opening caught me off guard.
Careful pro this might get you a strike if their youtube channel went down i think that is self explanatory enough if you ask me. Dont think its that worth risking your channel for some mod.
If he gets an strike for this, he has more reasons to call bullshit.
@@ibisskb i mean doing a playtrough I'm sure this video wont cause problems
This is starting to worry me. Back in 2012 I had a very popular machinima series which revolved around a San Andreas mod for GTA 4. I Haven't made any video about it since 2013 but somehow I'm afraid they'll close my channel. Would be really stupid as those videos aren't relevant anymore, but all of them gathered around 1 million views. I hope nothing happens
that intro is hilarious but the rev team would lose everything just like riley freeman during the fundraiser episode
If they hold onto a copy of the videos they could restore it to Vimeo and VK, the mod itself is safe, so F U T2.
these project really should just did a shadowdrop, man. no announcement, no updates, no nothing, just release it.
I think the other team of modder that still working on thier projects should be aware of these tactics by now, since big companies had taken down a few fan projects before, like the gta underground, h2m for cod mwr and others.
they did a better job than t2 or r tommy can finally swim the real DE
Wow didnt expect professional putting the boondocks in the beginning😂
I'm more surprised you played the F-bomb at the start of your video considering how strict YT is.
Not the first time T2 went after a creator. This happened to a borderlands YTer. They sent people to his house to intimidate him and he caved. Ended up leaving YT afaia
Rockstar and Take Two: *takes down mods*
Also Rockstar and Take Two: Hmm, I wonder why our fans don't want to play our games anymore
Here’s the harsh reality: Modders don’t do anything truly creative. They take what’s already been done and recreate it with little to no change. Maybe they open up some interiors, maybe they update the textures-but in the end, they aren’t creating anything new.
You know what is creative? The GTA Frosted Winter mod, for example. It takes the story of GTA III and reimagines it through Joey Leone’s eyes, showing the betrayal of Toni Cipriani. That’s a unique spin on the original story, and it offers something fresh.
Or look at the GTA Sindacco Chronicles mod, which takes GTA Liberty City Stories and tells the story through JD O'Toole’s perspective. The GTA Forelli Redemption mod does something similar with GTA III, telling the story from the Forelli family’s point of view. Each of these mods has new missions, new collectibles, and unique narrative twists.
That’s what real creativity looks like-bringing new ideas, new stories, and a fresh perspective to the table. That’s where the heart and soul of modding lies
T2 doesn't need modify of 3Dera previous game.
AAA publishers just don't want you playing their older games and that includes Rockstar
If they don't want players to play these old titles then why why would Rockstar provide a huge discount like they did just yesterday?
@@CosplayMarin Hey, stop using logic 😡
@@CosplayMarin ummm to make more money That dont care if you play it they just want your money
@@LoRdDyY45 But your logic doesn't make any sense! If they don't want players to play their older titles, then why even put a discount on it? They WANT us to play all of their titles because this will make them more money.
@@CosplayMarin The same titles Rockstar pulled from all storefronts after releasing a shit show remaster of those games then only brought back because of the backlash?
And by discounts you mean the ones that the storefronts alone are responsible for?
Perhaps lick the boot a little less before thinking you have a gotcha moment.
