GTA & Red Dead VR Mods At Risk After Take-Two Notice

A modder behind tools that make some of the world’s biggest games playable in VR may take some of them down after receiving a copyright notice from Patreon.

I miss the R* of old that used to embrace modders. Take2 & the success of GTA Online has gotten to them.

TinkerNation696d ago

Back in the PS2 era it seemed like they could do no wrong. Now they do everything wrong. It is sad to see how they have fallen. Even more sad that they are making more money than ever despite not caring about the gamers anymore.

shinoff2183696d ago

Thats those damn fools that keep giving them their money. GTA5 was a great game but I wish they wouldve stuck to single player games. We probably wouldve had another gta by now or atleast really close.

Eonjay695d ago (Edited 695d ago )

This feels like deja vu. Does this mean R* is planning its own GTA VR mod?

chicken_in_the_corn695d ago

@shinoff

Making GTA V single player only wouldn't have changed development of RDR2 in any way so a new GTA wouldn't be any closer.

fitofficial696d ago

They've been going downhill since San Andreas and their sudden obsession with making everything "realistic" (see: not fun).

Lionsguard696d ago

This is basically the Walmart storyline from South Park. This is just what happens when we support a company so much, they grow too big for their britches and we have to burn them back down to size. However, we're not as smart as the citizens of South Park, we'll continue feeding the beast as it consumes us.

shinoff2183696d ago

Around my area thats all we got is walmart. Theres 4 of them in my city alone. Its disgusting theres nowhere else to really shop.

deleted696d ago

Sucks for the modder who put all the time, effort and passion into this, but it's also good confirmation that GTA and RDR are being worked on in VR by Rockstar. (I think everyone already assumed they are though)

Maybe Rockstar will hire him.... buuutt, knowing them, they'll outsource it some craptastic studio like Grove Street, who butchered their Remastered Trilogy.

ToddlerBrain696d ago

R* thinks so poorly of their own players. Mods keep people playing their decade+ old titles. They over-monetize their multiplayer games, don’t update them, push out ass-level-quality remasters, and now go after modders. Yuck.

TinkerNation696d ago

People playing their decades old titles don't make Rockstar new money. Money is the only thing Rockstar cares about at this point. Sad to think they were one of my favourite publishers once upon a time.

fitofficial696d ago

I was maybe 20-30 hours into GTA V and all my progress suddenly vanished. Couldn't get the save file to restore or anything so I reached out to them to see if there was a cause or resolution.

They said almost verbatim that they had no idea what caused it, they get reports of it a lot, there's nothing they can do, they have no plans to research it, and they're very sorry.

Cool. 1 more customer down.

fitofficial696d ago

"Rockstar is greatly offended by anyone that actually puts effort into their game development work and delivers a playable, enjoyable experience. Cease and desist immediately."

shinoff2183696d ago

Nintendo is king of cease and desist though. I feel rockstar was a pretty good developer until gta5 online came out.

Dudeson695d ago

Own the game on ps4, but that old thing doens't do the game justice. Was thinking to just get it on pc, would rather play it on my 3080 ti with vr, but guess that plan is possibly scrapped. Maybe this calls for ye olde pirate hat of olden times.

Eonjay695d ago

Wasn't there a discount for the PS4 to PS5 upgrade for $10 or is that deal over. Seems cheaper if your plan was to buy it on PC.

Honestly though, the game should be $10 everywhere by now...

Dudeson695d ago (Edited 695d ago )

Maybe, but I think I'm skipping the ps5. Upgraded my pc recently instead with same performance ssd and everything pretty noice.
Got way to big of a backlog anyway to worry about any ps5 exclusives atm haha.

shinoff218318d ago

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg18d ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK18d ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

Exvalos17d ago

I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi

outsider162418d ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog18d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN17d ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal18d ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave17d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator17d ago

Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.

DefenderOfDoom217d ago

I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!

MrBaskerville17d ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj17d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

MrBaskerville17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

You can just buy it, you don't need premium.

And it's still good, but there's a couple of early missions that are extremely tough. But they don't really make games like this anymore.

DarXyde17d ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

hiroyukisanada17d ago

I should clarify that I was referring to the Classics catalog, in particular. Only 1 PS1 game I've loved is the Legend of Dragoon and the Tekken/Soul Caliburs on PSP

Petebloodyonion17d ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts17d ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai17d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion17d ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

shinoff218317d ago

When I seen video on this game I thought Holy sht this is gonna be awesome. Then the footage continued and I seen what type of game it was going for. Was so disappointed. Would've loved a gta style game not from Rockstar,like we had back in the day some studios trying. I'm all about being different but a little gta clone idea been cool with.

Yui_Suzumiya17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

To be fair, I'd play Crime Boss before GTA any day. I mean I have no interest in either but just for the celebs I'd pick Crime Boss, lol

JL293017d ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion17d ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

MrBaskerville17d ago

You are aware that new people are born every day? All the 5 year olds probably didn't play it when it released.

But I guess you played every game ever released, which is quite impressive.

JL293016d ago Show
seanpitt2317d ago

A 6 years old game is a win? Yes it's a masterpiece but I am sure most of hardcore gamers have already played it! I doubt it would be shifting ps plus extra subs if there was a native ps5 version or 60fps option then maybe

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein46d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers44d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long45d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius44d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum0617d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius44d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
