This might just be the best Mod in the entire history of modding. The scale of the project is just HUGE and they've pulled it off perfectly. Can't wait for this one!

CommonSense4676d ago

i just wanna know one thing. what is propelling that plane?

M-Easy4675d ago

Wow so it turns a terrible game into a great game. Sweet :)

jony_dols4675d ago

Don't get me wrong, I think this looks great,

but Black Mesa Source will probably be the greatest mod of all time, when it eventually gets released.

kramun4675d ago (Edited 4675d ago )

Yeah I'm patiently waiting for it myself. How long it's taking them is understandable, I just hope they can manage to finish it.

hassi944675d ago

I hope it's out soon, at this rate they're gonna need a team to make a graphical update for it cause it'll look like crap by the time it comes out! :P

Ahasverus4675d ago

The difference is:
Black Mesa Release date: Never
San Andreas Mod: Next month!

xtremeimport4675d ago (Edited 4675d ago )

San Andreas was easily the best GTA game, and I want this badly..brings back awesome memories. It was SA that when you shot the moon it would change sizes right??

maniactadpole4675d ago

You could do that in Vice City, atleast on the PC.

koh4675d ago

You could in 3, VC and SA

user83971444675d ago

Nah Vice City is by far the best.

showtimefolks4675d ago

gta HD collection with gta3,vc and sa along with 2 psp game libert city and vice city stories

but this mod is really awesome

the_best_player4675d ago

GTA San Andreas is the best GTA game for over the top fun and endless features. :)

Gray-Fox-Type04675d ago

That s just amazing.

This is the kinda things i see on PC, and wished i had a good powerful PC. On consoles we get ripped off with crap DLC and bend over to Sony & MS what ever they say...

here on PC, they getting the entire map for free...

subtenko4675d ago

These modders are quite creative, aren't they?

Minimox164675d ago

Yeah indeed, what I want to know if that Mod will have the story of San Andreas, that will be cool :D

Motorola4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

Too bad I cant mod the steam version. Unless there is a way?

Danielmccue4676d ago

Nope you'd have to torrent it, I think that would be morally right since you already own it on steam.

snake-OO4676d ago

you can mod the steam version. i know because ive done it already.

Motorola4676d ago

Torrenting a 15 GB game? That will take a while. Ill just save myself the trouble and play the original SA.

X_iGame_X4676d ago

There's a link on the Steam forums about modding it:
http://forums.steampowered....

ATiElite4676d ago

You can mod the Steam version.

FragMnTagM4675d ago

You can mod the steam version as I have it modded, but not all mods work that great as Steam forces you to have the latest updates and most of the mods work better on version 1.0.4.0 and steam version is 1.0.7.0 unfortunately. You put the mods here: (copy and paste) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\g rand theft auto iv\GTAIV

jack who4676d ago

lots of glitch in that vid

Madusha4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

Not the finished version mate. Beta.

The finished version will probaly have small bugs but you can't blme them on that. The scale of the project is just MASSIVE!

sobekflakmonkey4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

Bahahahaha somebody disagreed with you!

Now I've seen everything, that's just ridiculous!
yes there are glitches in that video, it's quite clear that there are glitches present, so what the hell was that person thinking?

"lots of glitches in that vid?.....NO WAY MAN!! I DISAGREE! NO GLITCHES AT ALL!!"

EDIT: and it's not even like you said that it was a dumb idea or anything, you didn't say anything bad what so ever, yet somebody actually found it appropriate to disagree with your statement...wow, N4G, what a website. Hahahaha

Madusha4676d ago

Lol Likely a missclick haha

sobekflakmonkey4676d ago

hahahahaha I got a disagree for my statement also, jeez there are some strange people in this world, I will never understand it ever.

Shane Kim4675d ago

Yeah sobekflakmonkey, and you seem to be one of them.

sobekflakmonkey4675d ago

even more disagrees I'm lovin it, people are so silly.

1PC2PS333604676d ago

theres lots of glitches in finished games made buy 100 man dev teams with 100 million dollar budgets

this is probably a couple guys just doing something to bring a game lots of people love to others for free in an enhanced graphics package

not bad
I'd say for a small project with no outside funding

looks kool

you can definately mod the steam version, just takes a bit more tinkering

google=lifes problems solved

Madusha4676d ago

The team consists of 13 members. They are also making a Vice City mod

X_iGame_X4676d ago

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies3d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken3d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing694d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken3d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷
