Today's most time-traveling video: GTA: Vice City Back to the Future mod

Quite possibly one of the coolest mods we've seen for GTA: Vice City lies in this Back to the Future mod for the PC. It has the scorching tire marks, time travel, the flying DeLorean, the hoverboard, and another surprise at the very end, courtesy of the imagination of Doc Brown.
It's a pity we can't see this on the consoles, but that won't keep us from dreaming about whipping that baby up to 88 miles per hour just to see what will happen. While it would have been cool if they could have worked Biff into this somehow, or let us travel back to the Wild West, it's still much more than impressive. We're going to bust out the DVD box set now and remember what 1985 was like.

Cool Mod! I see alot of effort went into this. So thumbs up to the creator! I love those movies.

Low-Res and booooooring. I give it a "C".
Kyle S. @ Oct 24th 2007 12:10AM
That's awesome!

san andreas had the floating cars on water with sideways wheels cheat
and i go over 88 like all the time when driving in gta
Will @ Oct 24th 2007 12:20AM
You fail. First, his car wasn't floating on water, it was flying. Like, in the air, off the ground. Second, 88 mph was the speed that the DeLorean had to travel in the movie in order to do its thing and activate the flux capacitor.
gonk @ Oct 24th 2007 12:25AM
no
shit
Will @ Oct 24th 2007 12:41AM
Do you say no shit as in I'm being obvious? I mean, I realize I -am- being obvious, but that would be a silly thing to say about something you didn't know..
michas_pi @ Oct 24th 2007 6:25AM
I believe the cheat code was "seaways", not "sideways".

1.21 JIGAWATTS!!!

Dr. Emmett Brown:
No, no, no. This sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.
Marty McFly:
Doc, you don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium. Did you rip that off?
Dr. Emmett Brown:
Shhhhhh. Of course. From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and in turn, gave them a shiny bomb-casing full of used pinball machine parts!
Gaddes @ Oct 24th 2007 12:39AM
This isn't really new (I remember seeing youtube vids of time-travelin' delorean GTA mods at least a year prior), but BTTF is awesome, so I'll give you a pass. Now why don't you man like a tree and get outta here.
gaddes @ Oct 24th 2007 12:41AM
Ah dammit, I meant to say "make", not "man... >_< lol
gonk @ Oct 24th 2007 12:51AM
how ironic
Gaddes @ Oct 24th 2007 12:58AM
Yeah, that's what I get for watching The Office while I type replies, lol.
cybereality @ Oct 24th 2007 1:39AM
Gamevideos.com almost never works for me...
Is some dude hosting it out his basement?!?!?
ThornedVenom @ Oct 24th 2007 2:09AM
Chances are that you're using Opera. It didn't work for me on Opera, so I had to force myself to switch to Firefox.
clichedgeek @ Oct 24th 2007 4:04AM
If you are using opera, and you havent upgraded to 9.24, upgrade. As well as security fixs, Gamevideos.com videos seem to be working fine now.
blehh @ Oct 24th 2007 2:04AM
back to the future is due for a this-gen game.
capt_carl @ Oct 24th 2007 10:35AM
Amen to that. Teach these nublets about the wonders that is the *coughsupercarcough* from the early 1980s and all the fond memories it invokes.
Shmil @ Oct 24th 2007 2:11AM
1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!!!!
ThornedVenom @ Oct 24th 2007 2:12AM
One of the many reasons I chose PC over console.
Dreamcicle @ Oct 24th 2007 2:19AM
Amen. That and I can play 10 year old games online and still find full servers.
David @ Oct 24th 2007 2:19AM
That theme song fills my heart with joy.
kidklepto @ Oct 24th 2007 2:27AM
I'm going to make a GTA3 mod. If you drive more than 88 in a delorian, you end up in GTA:VC
Shmil @ Oct 24th 2007 2:32AM
if you actually pulled that off i'd pay money for your mod
NoHitHair @ Oct 24th 2007 3:09AM
I agree - I'd pay money for that mod.
Charron @ Oct 24th 2007 10:03AM
Really wish people would cite their sources.

Klepto @ Oct 24th 2007 7:30PM
I tried to, but it took out the stuff in brackets.
Jimiisama @ Oct 24th 2007 3:23AM
Is this really a full mod? Or is it just someone putting Back to the Future vehicles in GTA?
Psaakyrn @ Oct 24th 2007 3:54AM
Well, the time travel portion seems to work, somewhat. It seems to only change the ingame time though, while not affecting the surroundings in any other way (obvious in the time train scene with the aeroplane). Also, the time travel clock seems stuck at 5 am.
Brian Fantana @ Oct 24th 2007 4:03AM
Fucking Awsome!
rellik_san @ Oct 24th 2007 4:19AM
BEST MOD EVAR!
Hehehe.
michas_pi @ Oct 24th 2007 6:29AM
When this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.
FOXHOUND @ Oct 24th 2007 7:48AM
"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."
bighit24 @ Oct 24th 2007 9:19AM
BEST. MOD. EVER. Way better than Hot Coffee!
capt_carl @ Oct 24th 2007 10:26AM
MARTY: Wait a minute Doc. Now are you telling me that you built a time machine...out of a DeLorean?
DOC: The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car why not do it with some style?
Best line ever.
Cellien @ Oct 24th 2007 10:40AM
They can't make more movies with Michael J Fox's condition.. but they could make a cool game! I love Back to the Future and the Delorean STILL looks badass!
TheHood @ Oct 24th 2007 10:45AM
Wheres Biff.
TheHood @ Oct 24th 2007 10:55AM
Where's Biff
Sean @ Oct 24th 2007 11:01AM
That's heavy.
Bucket @ Oct 24th 2007 1:20PM
Weight has nothing to do with it.
Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith @ Oct 24th 2007 11:30AM
Ok not a moan - the mod is not new but we sent in an article talking about the mod to joystiq yesterday in relation to modding games:
http://digitalurban.blogspot.com/2007/10/modding-game-for-city-architectual-and.html
It seems they took the mod and dropped the mention of the content. Not a moan just a win some lose some...
DU
Kevin Kelly @ Oct 24th 2007 12:06PM
No, actually someone from GameTrailers sent us an email telling us about the video and how cool it was. Didn't see your article.
Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith @ Oct 24th 2007 1:03PM
Aw ok :) still as ever a joy to read joystiq...
