The trailer shows waves and waves of palm trees. The mod lets players experience Vice City as an extension to the base game. Vice City is one of the most beloved installments in this storied franchise, known for its throwback visuals and soundtrack that pay tribute to the 80s.


As its name implies, the iconic Vice City aesthetics have showed up in GTA 5. Most recently, a mod titled Vice Cry Remastered was introduced. The variety has also been exceptional, from flying characters to waves and waves of missiles being dropped by aircrafts. This fifth installment - which came out in 2013 - has so much potential as far as modding goes. You'll need to faff around a tad with other, supporting mods, and faff a tad further if you want the cars to be authentically 80s.As far as mods go, one game that continues to deliver amazing experiences is Rockstar’s GTA 5. The download page promises a "full port" of the original mod, plus modern enhancements I don't understand but would gladly sign up for. Six-year-old me was sadly deprived of gang violence. I say obviously, despite not having played any of Vice City. GTA is obviously at its best when you're just larking about with trucks and drawbridges, so I wouldn't worry. Here's a trailer, which confusingly features remade cutscenes from Vice City's singleplayer campaign that you can't play with the mod - you only get to muck about with the map, and some homemade missions. It started life as a makeover mod for the original Vice City, so in theory its a better version even before GTA V's technobits. The mod's been floating about for years but only recently hit version 1.0. Sometimes, those cities are sucked from 2002 and splatted into modern videogames, like the Vice Cry: Remastered mod that takes the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City map and plops it into Grand Theft Auto V. There's always a man, a lighthouse, and a city.
