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.

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.

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..

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!

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.

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.

I'm going to make a GTA3 mod. If you drive more than 88 in a delorian, you end up in GTA:VC

Is this really a full mod? Or is it just someone putting Back to the Future vehicles in GTA?

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.

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!

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:

It seems they took the mod and dropped the mention of the content. Not a moan just a win some lose some...

No, actually someone from GameTrailers sent us an email telling us about the video and how cool it was. Didn't see your article.
