Posting to their Discord server, one of the project’s creators has said that they’ve decided to take down the Liberty City Preservation Project.

“Due to the unexpected attention that our project received and after speaking with Rockstar Games, we have decided to take down the Liberty City Preservation project. We appreciate all the support the project has received, and we look forward to continuing to pursue our passion for modding the Grand Theft Auto series.

World Travel, the modding team behind the mod brought back Liberty City in unprecedented fashion and in one of the most accurate mods of the original game to date. The mod included NPCs, vehicles, sound effects from the original game, and even a fully functioning subway system.

You can see a few social media clips of the mod below:

GTA IV Remake CONFIRMED!!!!!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

As predicted

 

[The_Observer]

They won’t even give us a remaster of GTA4 and they do this. Shame on them.

 

[Senua]

Orrrrrrr

GTA IV Remake CONFIRMED!!!!!

Nah

[Hollowpoint5557]

Lawyers ruin everything fun.

 

[Roman Empire]

Lawyers ruin everything fun.

Yes, we do.

 

[cormack12]

Nah

Also fuck rockstar

I posted that on twitter and now I'm an insider

 

[Hudo]

I can understand that R* are worried about this ending up being more fun than GTA 6.

 

[TVexperto]

is there still any way to get his?

 

[Holammer]

Rockstar should chill out and learn from Sega.

 

[Haint]

I wish they would sue that clown who sells a subscription to GTA VR mods and take all his back Patreon bucks away.

I remember when this was announced, and knew it was going to happen.

 

[GudOlRub]

Unless the devs are doing it for the recognition, I don't even understand why they still bother releasing projects + official channels that have anything to do with Rockstar related games...
Shadow dropping said projects "scene like" while still keeping them on a "need to own the original game" basis to avoid piracy troubles seems like the way to go.

If Vice City Next Gen Edition turns out not to be a scam, my only hope is that the fact that the devs are russian means that Rockstar will be unable to do anything to them due to the current geopolitical situation and all...

I'm so glad there's no bootlickers here saying "they're totally in their right to do so, they were infringing on copyright, make your own original game, blah blah blah"

 

[Trilobit]

Probably coming in a few years. It would be weird if they didn't after the whole PS2 trilogy got a remaster.

 

[Lord Panda]

Rockstar are totally in their right to go fuck themselves.

 

[SJRB]

Good on Take Two for curb stomping this preposterous mod.

Can't just let people have too much fun with their videogames without getting a dollar out of it ourselves, now can we.

Stop announcing the mods before they're done. It's literally that fucking easy. Of course it bears mentioning that many have no intention of actually releasing the mods - it's just portfolio bait.

 

[Hypereides]

Yes, we do.

Your colleagues in the gaming industry need to tame themselves. Instead of asserting all these litigation scare tactics, they ought to move in to employ some of these talented people.

It was done, they seemed to be planning updates and self made content for it but the map, vehicles, etc, side of it is complete.

 

[saintjules]

Another 'mod' project. Made it sound like it was something internally by Rockstar that they canceled.

 

[coffinbirth]

Sure wish these guys would stop showing off their stuff BEFORE posting the files. Blows my mind people keep doing it.

It was done and uploaded. They just kept working on it with updates, but the mod was out.

Looks already better than the fucking "Definitive Editions" shat out by R*

 

[Mephisto40]

I'm guessing the reason being GTA 6 will have some section where you go back to Liberty City

 

[Dr.D00p]

Lawyers....what a bunch of oxygen thieving cunts they are.

 

[deriks]

Those Nintendo lawyers...

 

[MrRibeye]

GTA 6 is called Project Americas for a reason. They will expand it with more cities in the future, only a matter of time until Liberty City is next.

PC gaming as a fun hobby where companies and developers didnt care and let you mod till your hearts content, they knew full well it sold more copies of their own game, everyone was happy, everybody won, seems like a lifetime ago..
