Video: transforming GTA V into Vice City with 4K textures and ray tracing
The author of the YouTube channel Digital Dreams specializes in changing and improving the appearance of games with the help of various modifications. This time, he decided to transform Grand Theft Auto V into GTA: Vice City – the result can be seen in the latest video of the blogger.
To change the visual aspect of Grand Theft Auto V, the author of the video first installed the PRV mod – Project REVIVE. He creates a “fairytale atmosphere” in the project that suits Vice City. Then the blogger transferred the locations from the game 18 years ago to GTA V and applied 4K textures to them. True, the author did not indicate what modification he did it. He may have used Vice Cry: Remastered. And to heighten the effect, Digital Dreams installed ReShade with the RayTraced Global Illumination shader, which simulates real-time global illumination, just like ray tracing does.
The result of the blogger’s work can be seen in the video above. It turned out to be ambiguous, because, on the one hand, the game really began to resemble Vice City. And textures and objects of the environment with such an assembly of modifications look much better than in the original 2002. On the other hand, mods heavily load the system, and they cannot achieve visual integrity alone.
