New Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition footage was shared online, providing a new look at the unofficial remake of the popular entry in the series by Rockstar Games.

The new footage, which can be watched below, showcases the Dildo Sparrow mission, complete with full cutscenes. Needless to say, this fan made remake is looking better and better with each showing, putting the official Definitive Edition to shame.

On a related note, the team behind the development of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition, Revolution Team, shared a video last month providing additional information on the fan made remake, such as the reasons behind the choice of remaking the game using the GTA IV engine, instead of GTA V's, and the minimum system requirements, which will be the same as GTA IV's. Additionally, the team revealed in the F.A.Q. video that the mod will be released before the end of the year and that it will be available publicly for free.

Before Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen, the only enhanced version of the classic open-world game by Rockstar Games that is available right now on PC and consoles is the aforementioned Definitive Edition. While all the games included in the collection received some improvements after release, the Definitive Edition is still a disappointing release, as highlighted by Nathan in his review.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition collects some truly groundbreaking games that still provide their share of nostalgic fun, but little has been done to make them shine here in 2021. Ultimately, a shoddy visual upgrade, choppy performance, and a lack of meaningful updates or extras may leave you questioning why you loved them in the first place. Perhaps this collection can be brought up to snuff with updates from Rockstar (or modders), but for now, its Wanted Level remains low.
