I was meaning to ask this, are the trees custom modeled or are they a part of another mod?

[Triple Penetration]

This looks pretty nice, but the textures look pretty low-quality on the screens. Maybe it's the size of the screenshots and I can't see the detail?

Anyway, I absolutely love VC and can't wait for this.

Nice! A couple of questions; will the cars also be remodelled or will you use the cars of the GTA VC Xbox version? And will the layout of the map be the same or do you guys plan to make Vice City bigger? A bigger Fort Baxter for example would be great, to make it an actual Air Force Base Looking forward to the progress!

dont use GTA IV fake company names (VC is in the 80's IV in 08 also IV is a restart of the seriess )

Remodeled, and exactly the same, the idea is to make it as close as possible but with the added detail that the modern RAGE can handle. So no extra map pieces, and if for whatever reason they are added, it will be a separate addon.

Thanks Bam for the reply Still great, VC is still my favourite GTA and it's nice to see it in HD with the same feeling!

Mixture from VC, VCS, VisualIV & Miami!

If were remodeling vehicles, maybe the VCS exclusive vehicles could also be included.

Again sorry about not being able to do the port right now.

Are the trees the same as IV:SA, they look similar or are they custom built for this mod? Also, will there be more interiors in this HD rendition. I know that might not be the priority yet though, just curious.

[msvu]

I know that it's too early for these questions, but is there going to be a closed beta and can I be a tester ?

Nice, although the timecyc of VC Rage is beautiful! Is the mod built upon VC Rage or even Vice IV or did you convert the city yourself to Rage?

[Squirlkiller]

Is the [map] scale the same as all other III-RAGE map ports? (bigger)

[da_truth34]

Really wonderful news, I can't wait to see this when it is finished. Do you plan to re-create any of the original VC missions?

I explained two times before, I believe you were on of the times. the scale is good. It's bascially old game design that the proportions are not right. If we would scale it down, other things would be too small, it's somewhat 'balanced now'.

Yes, things that are small, like trash cans, mail boxes, ect would be off. Also all the cords would have to be redone.

However if you don't change the model scale, and leave it alone, then once you have things like cars, weapons, character, they are also off scale vs the normal game. So the model scale on everything is bigger, and it looks normal.


PS: I think GTA IV needs some sort of depth perception hack to increase the depth perception. There are a few reasons why this would be a nice thing for GTA IV.
1. On III to IV TC's, the camera won't seem closer to everything than normal. Everything is bigger, so the camera will just look closer. However this would fix it.
2. I noticed if you go in the cinematic camera, the depth perception changes. So when your flying in a helicopter, you can see some crazy ass z-fighting on shallow shore lines. Don't belive me, fly a heli above Happiness Island or Fire Fly Island. You will see what I'm talking about. However when I go in the cinematic camera, the depth perception change causes the z-fighting to not be there, and the coast lines look like their supposed to.
3. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions have slightly better depth perception than the PC version does. This may be the reason why they don't have the z-fighting issue when your flying above the city.

[Sebianoti]

Was wondering about that...lets see if you can keep us updated better than GTA 3 RAGE




Apparently i was wrong,

Impatient, are we? It's hardly been two weeks - in the middle of summer.

Anyhoo, while I would very much like to help with this mod, I am rather inexperienced, to say the least.
But good luck regardless.
