I remember when my dad came back from Russia, after visiting his parents, that he brought young me a bootleg CD of various Racing games, and a CD with GTA stuff, it had GTA 3 Real Life mod, GTA VC Killer kip, some Vice City Russian mod that added a new island, and ofc. GTA Long Night, oh boy i can remember getting some nightmares after playing that randomly, and im glad it recently gets alot of attention from either GTA Fans, GTA Speedrunners or Informative videos like yours ^^
All those old bootleg copies of the gta games were so fascinating to me as a kid. I’d watch UA-cam videos of weird gta San Andreas modded copies all the time
Hellfish has a video of a version they never finished. It muted the zombies, made them walk slowly, and gave them new attack animations. Someone actually made a mod for a mod that made the zombies walk, and another one that mutes them. Pretty impressive for a 2004 Vice City mod, San Andreas is by far the easiest (and most popular) 3D era GTA to mod.
FUN FACT: the mission markers are actually using the hellfish logo you can see it easily in bigger mission markers but be warned once you see it you can't unsee it
@@BladeOpotato yeah crazy I know, funnily enough I caught it during one of my many playthroughs of this mod and I went like uhhhh oh damn he's everywhere xD
The worse thing about this getting taken down, is that it proves that Rockstar really hates creativity and anything that can outshine them. Even worse when GTA V was meant to be given a zombie dlc (along with spy and alien DLCs) but then turned into Online content to vomit onto their real golden goose
While I agree with you in the second half, the mod hasn't been taken down at least to my knowledge. You can download the mod online to this day, and there have even been fan updates as well. Link in the description for the old build.
I never knew my favorite GTA has this amazing zombie mod, I used to play VC all the Time. But this mod has some really unique missions. Great video and narrating.
There is also a GTA San andreas mod where you can play as OG LOC in an acid trip in other world And a GTA SA mod that makes you play as CJ millions of years into the future.
Not many people know it, but the burning hospital mission has a long monologue from a psycho guy that you can listen to if you don't kill him right away after you get back to the top floor. In the end he will regret his life choices and ask to be killed anyway. It's kind of funny how this part of the mission never gets mentioned anywhere, because it makes this mission whole lot more interesting than it seems at first. The monologue also explains why the guy says "I'm a beautiful butterfly" when he dies. Also, there is a small secret in a RC Helicopter mission that you can find in the coffee shop, it's a photo of Fat Albert and a bunch of other characters from the show (basically just a screenshot from one of the episodes I believe), which implies that he worked at a coffee shop at one point before zombie outbreak. The hotel mission is legit beatable without exploits (I know it because I've done that myself once). The problem comes from one simple thing - the game's physics and other systems being tied to a framerate, thanks to the old hunk of jank that is RenderWare. On older systems, where game ran a lot slower, the shotgun blasts would be perfectly timed with the zombies spawning in the hallway. It's not hard to guess that on modern systems the game is running too fast and the timings are essentially screwed up for this mission. As for the nightmare sequences, there are a few that are super rare to get, one spawns you in Escobar International and has a ghost car chasing you. Another nightmare sequence spawns you on a rooftop of a gas station from Gas Run mission, you have a sniper rifle and must kill a random dude in a station wagon before he reaches the gas station, otherwise it's a game over. The way how nightmare missions are given is unclear, and must be random. So it's a gamble most of the time which nightmare sequence you get.
fun fact: somehow VCFD and their firefighter still working in zombie apocalypse , i swear back then when im throw motolov , there is always some fire truck come by blaring and firefighter get out and walk around lol
I've bought several bootleg copies of GTA based on several different mods back in the day; some of them were surprisingly well-detailed. This truly shows how great old GTA games are.
The camera security system in the bank and releasing the person jailed in the VCPD bureau are both from missions in the original game. Cool to see they were reused to some degree. Nice video dude.
I think it's one of the best GTA mods I've ever played. I got it on a pirate CD from a local games store. I experienced a lot of crashes too, one did not let me proceed. I went to the internet to find a solution of a problem. I learned a lot of how computer works there. Disk defragmentation helped a lot and I finished the game
This shit is impressive! I was in the GTA modding scene some 15 years ago and remember some forum discussions about this mod but never came around trying it out myself, so really cool to see it after all these years!
You are criminally underrated man, the editing the commentary and the video format and genre is right up my alley, keep up the great work and I’m sure that you will blow up .
NGL, the zombies talking give the mod some Evil Dead vibes, with how the Deadites in that series were capable of speech even as they were horrific undead creatures.
I was thinking more of Return of the Living Dead given how they are intelligent in solving problems and are capable of speech only in Long Night they can be easily killed though in hordes can overwhelm you most of the time just like in the movie.
Damn I was like 14 years old when this mod got released. I remember playing this with a lot of glitches and crashing the game and all I could remember about the missions is visiting that radio station with a guy one shot you with a shotgun.
Its crazy how vice city left a huge impact to the point where its fanbase created so many amazing mods for it weather it's fixing an issue that rockstar didn't bother to fix or completely changing the game into something cool, gta vice city long night was pretty good
Yo! Refreshing take on a classic! I remember back in the day, we'd always talk about these mods, for VC, SA, 3 and so on. Was the life of someone who couldn't afford the new next gen stuff but had a computer. Also, weird compliment, but i seriously appreciate you not being afraid to cuss. These days YT is so sanitized and while i totally get censoring the gore imagery associated with the mod's load screens, it's so refreshing to hear someone actually say "fuck" lol. Autismo aside, you look like a promising reviewer! I'll have to take a look at your other stuff. Earned my subscription!
I'm a bit late to the party but jeez Blade, this was an insanely well-made video and you deserve way more subscribers. Looking forward to watching more!
The camera in the bank is part of Vice City main game. It occurs during The Job, and Tommy can use the camera to check the hostage, the guards, and where the vault is.
Maaaan, what a fantaetic video, damn! Im so glad I was randomly recommended this! Super high quality too, you'd expect this from a big channel, but not smaller one! I'm gonna sub now so I can say "I was here before 6k" when you're at 60k!
I remember randomly coming across the gameplay video of this mod back in 2013 when the internet was so new to me. I Was terrified of watching it for the first time but I still wanted to play it.
Having missions be the stories of the other survivors and nightmare sequences as rapamges is such an ingenious idea i want to see an entire game with just this premise. I'm not kidding that's a like the perfect way to structure a zombie survival game. Whomever made this mod is really talented.
Nice explanation about the Long Night mod. BTW, I have been playing GTA Long Night mod since I was a kid, even until now, it was such a great mod that was made back in 2005, it was already an impressive mod for its time. Too bad, Hellfish abandoned the project. However, there are Russians who are making GTA Long Night Reborn, basically adding new features to the mod.
Nice! That's awesome you got to check it out in its prime way back when, I unfortunately didn't get the opportunity but always thought it looked rad! Glad to hear about the updated version coming out, I might have to check it out too!
@@BladeOpotato BTW, the way you explained the mod in this video, the storyline made much more sense, as since before when I was a kid, I had no idea much about the plot.
Thanks for the tip btw! Got it from your last stream you did of this. Always coming in clutch with your extended knowledge of how these games tick Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
This video made me remember a memory from my childhood, I remember some kids from school talked about a special version of gta vice city with zombies. I always thought it was only a rumor, after all we where little kids with ni access to internet at that moment in Argentina
Sweet video! I played this in my early teens when it first came out, and had no idea it was improved on so much. Vice City's modding scene was such a fun place to be back in the day!
I was only like 6 years old when this first came out. I wish I was older during this time period of gaming and technology, it seems like it was such an exciting time
I was also a youngster, only a few years older than yourself, and it was indeed a great period of time. The whole community was really inclusive, even for someone my age. I would definitely pay to go back! @@JohnYourube
I remember downloading this is a teenager, i was not able to get far back then there was no abundance of zombie games like we got now, so having zombie mods was often the only solution. Now however i dont even want to see a zombie game in my life ever again, thumbs up for ashes 20633 music.
god i remember playing this back in the day my dad brought a copy home and thought it was the original game with the dlc, i mean it wasn't but i still had fun regardless. i think he said he found it in a flea market, [which makes sense as prior to the wide spread of the internet 3.0 where the internet entered almost every house in some way shape or form, the only real way to play stuff like this was from flea markets, like Pokémon chaos black one of the oldest rom hack that was never fully completed by the og team it was almost always found at flea markets on sale for cheap.]
Honestly I got a chance to finally play this a while back. Found one of the fan fixes that makes it a bit more playable on modern systems and while there were still crashes, the mod really does hold up as one of those pretty good for the time 2005 mods. I still remember seeing the trailer for it way way back in the day that used the zombies ate my neighbours theme song.
you can tell the mod was made by fans with love the whole mod feels like a 80's/90's humor funny action zombie movie with funny characters like Mario and having all playable characters show how they got to the base. I cant describe it how they created something that felt like dead rising and other games and movies before it was even thought of.
This is one of the reason why overhaul mods are so cool. With time and effort yo can completely change a game into something new. It's fantastic. Also nice use of Resident Evil music.
I was never able to pass the very first mission of this mod unfortunately. Those bike gang members were brutally hard and would insta kill or stun lock every single time 💀
This was sold at a target store when I was a kid. Sometime 2002/early 2003. I thought it was odd that it had vice city and zombie references but no rockstar logo. There was a small time when target would somehow manage to get bootleg PC games back then next to the CDs and DVDs section. They were never in the game section
I remember playing this mod summer in the mid-2000s. It was really creepy dreamlike vibe seeing a familiar city turned into this and when you tune on the radio there was only one station left and playing what I thought was a lonely sounding version of All Along the Watchtower. Does anyone know who sang that version? I looked for it back then.
I remember this mod. Back in the 2000s I was a wee lad and my neighbour asked us to install this mod he got from a pirate cd dealer. Since he didn't have Vice City at hand I brought my pirate copy and installed them both. But to our disappointment the mod was buggy. I recall that the mission where you are needed to load barrels to the car that you are dropped from a helicopter to a starting point I can't remember if it was close to the target. Anyway what is important was that the moment you are dropped from the helicopter "Dave" the soldier would start talking to himself non-stop so you couldn't do anything as the game would not give the control back to us so it was soft-locked. What a bummer but such is life. :D
2:58 are there any modders that know what is the name of txd file that contains texture of this mission starting circle? Either in this mod or in vanilla game
When I installed it as a kid, I remember being super scared to leave that safe area. Enough so that I stopped playing it completely. Darker weather made it really spooky for me.
i had this on a DVD back when they sold pc and ps2 disks here in Argentina, i remember not knowing how to install it so i left it, but 10 years later i found it again and played the whole 7 mods for vice city and the rip San Andreas version
22:30 oh hell yeah the c-bug, that bad boy was one of the meta of competitive PvP in SAMP since the trilogy were all based on the same engine, some pro could blast a full clip of desert eagle in .5 second or less. It gets to a point some server made custom script to stun any c-bug attempt in the sake of game balance. I do believe the modder made the mission with it in mind since almost every hardcore gta trilogy/SAMP player knows the trick.
I remember playing this mod back in the day, I was like 7 years old. I don't remember how I was able to put my little hands in such a lost midia back in the day
I had the chance to play it way back when I was a kid but it always was crashing at the first level and It was really hard, this mod is really creative and full of great things that were rarely found with mods like a pieced-out story and good story telling
And this right here is how I got introduced to GTA Vice City. Seriously. Back in the days in my country, which is Ukraine, we were getting everything last. And a lot of stuff on the market, like video games and movies, was pirated downloaded stuff from the internet. And so, if you are buying something out there in the store, it is 100% a none licensed pirated copy of the game that you were reading about in one of the magazines. And since back then I did not had the internet, cause most of it were crap, that is how I got my own version of GTA Vice City. I simply went on buying some new games for myself and stumbled on GTA Vice City Long Night. That's right. A modded game, packed in the box like a licensed game but for a very, VERY cheap price. So I bought the game, went home and... it was not working. Game were not launching at all, giving me some error message, back then on Windows XP. And so I went back to the store where I got the game, refunded it, took back my money, got to one of my friends who had his own computer club and he simply gave me fixed version of this game. So he burned it in to one of the cheap discs that I bought, I went home, installed it and played it. And I was surprised and a bit disappointed that, this was not THE GTA game that I saw in my friend's computer club. But I played it anyway, but I never got a chance to beat it because that mission with the airplane sometimes did not worked, and other times worked but it was so hard that I just quit trying to beat it. But eventually I got actual GTA Vice City that I wanted, but it still had some mods in it. And it was called GTA Vice City Deluxe. It had modded cars, weapons, pickup objects and stuff like that. But the missions and the game itself was the actual GTA Vice City, and I played it and beat it eventually. So yeah, that is my story. p.s - Holy cow, so much memories. I didn't even know that I still remember all this until I stumbled on your video lol.
Man i remember playing this one when i was a kid and being scared shitless because of the save menu, it had a zombie eating an infant as the background art
Cant believe that is almost 20 years..I remember when I was a kid my first GTA game was Vice city. I didnt know how to play the game through but hanged around in the streets and used crazy weapons because I didnt know English at that time (I am Chinese)..And one day my classmate told me that there was such a mod that could change the whole city into a horrible zombies land..And it has its own story..That sounded alien to me...I didnt know mod things at that time.... I wondered how this mod looked like for long time..Today I saw it !! After 20 years it looks old and out date but I think it is good mod ..Dark and heavy rain cover Vice city....Challenged mission was set up..And dont forget it was launched 20 years ago!!
This mod should be a crossed mod just from the fact that the zombies are not even zombies but people that are infected and can still talk but are just batshit insane crazies.
I remember this mod, don't remember where I got it from, though, either a bootleg CD or a modding site. Anyway, when I installed it, I hated how overwhelming the zombies were, so I deleted it and never looked back. Watching this review, it's kind of a shame, because it genuinely looks cool.
Give it another shot! It's a fantastic mod. The zombies are very overwhelming but the story missions dull them out enough to where it's a fair fight, 'cept the last few.The open world stuff is where it gets crazy
I used to download this mod a lot along with others on a website as a kid, whenever the library was open I used to go in and bypass their computer timer to play this till I had to go home … time flies by 😅
I remember we had a disk of this mod back in 2009-2010, and holy, I was like 9-10, and I couldn't finish the gas track mission, just dropped the game XD But the atmosphere was terrifying as hell for me
I remember when my dad came back from Russia, after visiting his parents, that he brought young me a bootleg CD of various Racing games, and a CD with GTA stuff, it had GTA 3 Real Life mod, GTA VC Killer kip, some Vice City Russian mod that added a new island, and ofc. GTA Long Night, oh boy i can remember getting some nightmares after playing that randomly, and im glad it recently gets alot of attention from either GTA Fans, GTA Speedrunners or Informative videos like yours ^^
That's awesome you got to enjoy this mod way back then!

This is one of the reason why overhaul mods are so cool. With time and effort yo can completely change a game into something new. It's fantastic. Also nice use of Resident Evil music.
The YT algorithm really likes this video, no matter how much I refresh this still pops up. I guess I'll watch.
Yeah YT really just said "it's time" with this one. Really happy though, one of my favorite videos I've worked on so far. Hope you enjoy!
I wish I wasn’t too stupid to understand modding and programming. Making mods like this seems like it was a lot of fun back in the day
man i really thought this was an official game when i found this game in YT when i was still a child
its wild how the questlines are unique, love the decoy part, its simple but soemthign never been done in a GTA game.
I was never able to pass the very first mission of this mod unfortunately. Those bike gang members were brutally hard and would insta kill or stun lock every single time 💀
Brooooo i remember when fhis released! Was good times trying to get it to run. Even back then it crashed constantly.
This was sold at a target store when I was a kid. Sometime 2002/early 2003. I thought it was odd that it had vice city and zombie references but no rockstar logo. There was a small time when target would somehow manage to get bootleg PC games back then next to the CDs and DVDs section. They were never in the game section
I remember playing this mod summer in the mid-2000s. It was really creepy dreamlike vibe seeing a familiar city turned into this and when you tune on the radio there was only one station left and playing what I thought was a lonely sounding version of All Along the Watchtower. Does anyone know who sang that version? I looked for it back then.
I remember this mod. Back in the 2000s I was a wee lad and my neighbour asked us to install this mod he got from a pirate cd dealer. Since he didn't have Vice City at hand I brought my pirate copy and installed them both. But to our disappointment the mod was buggy. I recall that the mission where you are needed to load barrels to the car that you are dropped from a helicopter to a starting point I can't remember if it was close to the target. Anyway what is important was that the moment you are dropped from the helicopter "Dave" the soldier would start talking to himself non-stop so you couldn't do anything as the game would not give the control back to us so it was soft-locked. What a bummer but such is life. :D
as a teen back then, the story for being a mod is top notch and captures the GTA writing
2:58 are there any modders that know what is the name of txd file that contains texture of this mission starting circle? Either in this mod or in vanilla game
YOOOO ASHES 2063 SOUNDTRACK LETS GOOOO
When I installed it as a kid, I remember being super scared to leave that safe area. Enough so that I stopped playing it completely. Darker weather made it really spooky for me.
i had this on a DVD back when they sold pc and ps2 disks here in Argentina, i remember not knowing how to install it so i left it, but 10 years later i found it again and played the whole 7 mods for vice city and the rip San Andreas version
This mod have a secuel called Liberty City Long Night, you should try it :D
nice vid btw
It's on my list! Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
these conversion mods especially the san andreas ones are sooo dope
I have a feeling that you will review sindacco chronicles
Maybe.. 👀
Man, that intro music hit me on the nostalgia bone... I miss L4D2 so much.
This is totally the inspiration of Dead RIsing.
Love the video!
i remember when i used to search eveywhere because i didnt know what was a mod back then, but now im creating my own mod, its hard if you ask me.
Are you modding vice city?
22:30 oh hell yeah the c-bug, that bad boy was one of the meta of competitive PvP in SAMP since the trilogy were all based on the same engine, some pro could blast a full clip of desert eagle in .5 second or less. It gets to a point some server made custom script to stun any c-bug attempt in the sake of game balance.
I do believe the modder made the mission with it in mind since almost every hardcore gta trilogy/SAMP player knows the trick.
Great vid!
I remember playing this mod back in the day, I was like 7 years old. I don't remember how I was able to put my little hands in such a lost midia back in the day
this is actually good
I had the chance to play it way back when I was a kid but it always was crashing at the first level and It was really hard, this mod is really creative and full of great things that were rarely found with mods like a pieced-out story and good story telling
Here before this blows up. Amazing video covering this piece of art, you got yourself a subscriber!
Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome aboard! 🤘
We should email the developers of this mod to make another GTA long night zombie mod.
And this right here is how I got introduced to GTA Vice City. Seriously. Back in the days in my country, which is Ukraine, we were getting everything last. And a lot of stuff on the market, like video games and movies, was pirated downloaded stuff from the internet. And so, if you are buying something out there in the store, it is 100% a none licensed pirated copy of the game that you were reading about in one of the magazines. And since back then I did not had the internet, cause most of it were crap, that is how I got my own version of GTA Vice City. I simply went on buying some new games for myself and stumbled on GTA Vice City Long Night. That's right. A modded game, packed in the box like a licensed game but for a very, VERY cheap price.
So I bought the game, went home and... it was not working. Game were not launching at all, giving me some error message, back then on Windows XP. And so I went back to the store where I got the game, refunded it, took back my money, got to one of my friends who had his own computer club and he simply gave me fixed version of this game. So he burned it in to one of the cheap discs that I bought, I went home, installed it and played it. And I was surprised and a bit disappointed that, this was not THE GTA game that I saw in my friend's computer club. But I played it anyway, but I never got a chance to beat it because that mission with the airplane sometimes did not worked, and other times worked but it was so hard that I just quit trying to beat it. But eventually I got actual GTA Vice City that I wanted, but it still had some mods in it. And it was called GTA Vice City Deluxe. It had modded cars, weapons, pickup objects and stuff like that. But the missions and the game itself was the actual GTA Vice City, and I played it and beat it eventually. So yeah, that is my story.
p.s - Holy cow, so much memories. I didn't even know that I still remember all this until I stumbled on your video lol.
Man i remember playing this one when i was a kid and being scared shitless because of the save menu, it had a zombie eating an infant as the background art
Cant believe that is almost 20 years..I remember when I was a kid my first GTA game was Vice city. I didnt know how to play the game through but hanged around in the streets and used crazy weapons because I didnt know English at that time (I am Chinese)..And one day my classmate told me that there was such a mod that could change the whole city into a horrible zombies land..And it has its own story..That sounded alien to me...I didnt know mod things at that time....
I wondered how this mod looked like for long time..Today I saw it !!
After 20 years it looks old and out date but I think it is good mod ..Dark and heavy rain cover Vice city....Challenged mission was set up..And dont forget it was launched 20 years ago!!
I like how these zombies have the gtavc npc animation and you can really smell them
This mod should be a crossed mod just from the fact that the zombies are not even zombies but people that are infected and can still talk but are just batshit insane crazies.
For the last mission it sounds like the stoner told the commander he has a plan and the commabders line is him going "oh you do, do ya?"
Nice usage of the ashes 2063 soundtrack
Doesn’t matter where you put it the l4d theme goes hard
Agreed.
I remember this mod, don't remember where I got it from, though, either a bootleg CD or a modding site. Anyway, when I installed it, I hated how overwhelming the zombies were, so I deleted it and never looked back. Watching this review, it's kind of a shame, because it genuinely looks cool.
Give it another shot! It's a fantastic mod. The zombies are very overwhelming but the story missions dull them out enough to where it's a fair fight, 'cept the last few.The open world stuff is where it gets crazy
14:34 - it's actually simple. Just pose the car in such a way so no one could be able to reach the left door.
Thank God Dave is alivee ❤❤
This mod was really cool. It even reminds me of the original Dawn of the dead movie
I used to download this mod a lot along with others on a website as a kid, whenever the library was open I used to go in and bypass their computer timer to play this till I had to go home … time flies by 😅
I remember we had a disk of this mod back in 2009-2010, and holy, I was like 9-10, and I couldn't finish the gas track mission, just dropped the game XD
But the atmosphere was terrifying as hell for me
