Developer's Description
“Remember Vice City as your mind’s eye saw it? We did too. That’s why we built Vice City Deluxe — not just a texture pack, but a full-scale reimagining of Rockstar’s iconic 1980s playground. Our goal was simple: transform the classic you love into the visually stunning masterpiece you* deserve, without sacrificing an ounce of its neon-soaked soul.
We’ve rebuilt Vice City from the pavement up. Every palm tree, neon sign, and sun-bleached stucco wall has been retextured in crisp 4K. We poured over the lighting, adding dynamic shadows, volumetric sun rays, and reflections that make wet streets glisten like they’re straight out of Miami Vice. Character models move with smoother animations, cars gleam with modern PBR shaders, and the ocean? It’s now a living, shimmering beast.
This isn’t just about pixels — it’s about preservation. We kept the pastel sunsets, the synth-wave vibe, and that gritty, humid energy that made the original unforgettable. We optimized it to run smoothly, so you can cruise Ocean Drive in a Testarossa without a high-end rig.
Vice City Deluxe is our love letter to a game that defined a generation. Install it in minutes, and step back into the 80s — brighter, bolder, and more alive than ever.
