GTA Vice City is undoubtedly a cult game that will have marked many minds: it notably emerged this week for several reasons. One of them concerns the creation of a demo under Unreal Engine 5, proudly exhibited on YouTube: the result is worth the effort.
The most beautiful vice you’ve ever seen
This is clearly not the first time that a GTA has received a lot of unofficial additions that make a strong impression on the internet: between remakes of old episodes and mind-blowing mods that transform GTA 5 in a next-gen game, we don’t really know where to turn. But the redesign that interests us today is worth a look and comes from TeaserPlay, a YouTuber whose specialty is to redo great classics under a new engine or to mod other ones.
He suddenly attacked Grand Theft Auto : Vice Citylegendary game signed Rockstar and originally published in 2002. And to do this, he used the Unreal Engine 5, the brand new platform from Epic Games which will be used to build many great games in the near future. The result is obviously more than clean, from models to many particle effects through light reflection, shadows or weather effects. Here, there, it has a mouthful.
Tighten the Vice
So of course, let’s make it clear that he didn’t completely redo the game under Unreal Engine 5. The current video shows a “simple” technical demo, but however, a comparison is made with the original version of GTA Cityas well as with the official remake released in 2021 through the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition. And the latter takes a nasty slap.
Ray Liotta, the interpreter of Tommy in GTA Vice City
By the way, remember not without bitterness that GTA Vice City lost last Thursday the dubbing actor of his hero Tommy Vercetti, namely the mythical Ray Liotta. Died at the age of 67, the actor was known to have marked the Seventh Art with a hot iron with his incarnation of the mobster Henry Hill in Goodfellas, enormous classic of the cinema signed Martin Scorsese. A must see.
