GTA Vice City Online Modification Database

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the crime-sprees-of-one's-own-design dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Group of GTA Vice City game enthusiasts have created a complete integrated online modification install system capable of automatically installing any modification currently made for the game. Anyone can upload their modification to the database. Have they taken their love of a game a bit too far? I wonder what Rockstar, the makers of the game have to think about this?" Sadly, there's not much in the way of modding the PS2 version of GTA: VC, but now I'm considering plunking down the cash for the PC version.

  1. Turbo Boost! by Anonvmous+Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You guys have no idea how bad I want a Knight Rider mod for this game.

      Do 100 taxi missions and you'll get boost in all taxis when you hit the horn. You jump up like 15 feet, and you'll be able to clear at least 2 car lengths at full speed. It doesn't have to be contiguous either. When you finish Carmageddon, you also get a Zebra Cab, which is the fastest and best handeling cab in the game. It's not as good as the stock car or Cheetah, but it's good enough to outrun cops.

    Hopefully given rockstars willingness to give old free games away, they wont kick up a fuss - some of those mods look pretty sweet as well.

    What's the problem with it? It's a third party program that makes downloading mods easier... no different from downloading a mod from a fansite, except that this program makes it a little easier to find, install, and uninstall them.

    The user still has to decide to download the mods... I don't see why anyone'd have a problem with it.
