We proudly present the revamped New York City Modification v2.0!

 

Currently still in heavy development, we have been working on a new version of this mod. The mod will contain many new features, such as a progressive style of gameplay, unique missionscripted events, interface changes, new functionalities and -of course- a new map. In this first report we'll show you pictures of the new map we're working on.

 

The new mod is fixed in a post-9/11 era to about 2008. We didn't want to focus on updating vehicles constantly, instead we're focussing on improving gameplay elements, trying to keep the game  challenging and fun. We'll release more information regarding gameplay changes later. The new map is fictional and won't be a copy of a real part of New York City. Instead we choose to make a more compact map with many (downsized) landmarks and influences from New York City and the North-Eastern American environment. This way, the map will provide a lot of variation with many things to get into.

 

Pictures say more than words, so have fun watching the editor screenshots below:

In regards to current mod status: the core gameplay elements are done, but the new map isn't even halfway done and still requires a lot of work. Don't expect a release anytime soon.

I like the idea of redoing it but will it be similar to the Manhattan&Brooklyn Mod?

Will the Trucks be updatet? I you need a lighter , i could help somewhere if you want me:)

But i like how it looks

[BeastyBill88]

My god! Fantastic work guys I love the new civilian vehicles you have added and the map looks brilliant. Will the EL train actually run like the normal train does?

The map can't be compared to the maps provided by those mods at all, as we choose to build ours from a different idea, i.e. a more compact map with influences from New York City. In our opinion, providing a good New York City feeling doesn't really require a copy of the real part of the city on the same scale. For example the bridge is obviously influenced by the real Queensboro Bridge, but it's much much smaller. By going our own way, we have the opportunity to implement our own ideas and make them more suitable for Emergency 4. In regards to gameplay, technically the mod will be completely different using a mission scripted progressive based freeplay style, comparable to the US Army Mod, yet more advanced.

Yes, the El train does does roam the tracks like the original train does on a normal map.

O.M.G NYPD Bell 412 Great work bat NYPD use AGUSTA 119 as new bat dys is clasic NYPD helicopter 

[MikeyPI]

Wrong, the NYPD operates the Bell 412 along with the Agusta A119, during the period in which our mod takes place the bell 412 still had that livery on it, the agusta 119 is also present in the mod, has the new livery as it was present on them during the era we've done.

There isn't much to beat, as modding is no competition. However, this new mod has more advanced functionalities and more time is put into the map compared to the latest version of the LA I made.

[SparkyTheGamer]

Oh my god, a dream come true! Good luck guys! I can't wait for this.

God Well Last question from me can you make bell jet ranger for NYSP ? - I don.t konow if the use Bell 412 .

[MikeyPI]

NYSP used a Bell UH-1 during our era, along with several other aircraft, since it is our represented medivac, we went with the UH-1 as the model for it.  I have no desire to do further aircraft models, the Bell Jetranger for example is much much older and was replaced by other aircraft in or about our era in which we chose to do.  The other aircraft used for medivac operations by the NYSP I frankly felt was pretty ugly (Bell 430).

Now I see it.s right Good Luck with Mod and sorry for 3 questions i thing it.s not gona be problem

[lapdlafd]

This looks awesome!!!! Great job!

[mooneg4k]

looks epic good work

[EmergencyFan97]

Will the mod be compatible with Intel graphics?

[Wkboy714]

This looks fantastic. I actually would donate, if you were being serious

[The Loot]

Fantastic! Was only a matter of time till something peeked out to give us a look, and it's a good look.

[MikeyPI]

Will the mod be compatible with Intel graphics?

It should be capable of being played on intel/amd integrated chipsets, our last benchmark with such cards it was playable.  We have to complete filling in the new map in order to verify this is still the case though before I can state this 100% as a fact.

 

With adding a comprehensive vehicle replacement package to make the vehicles have the look of NYC along with fully new buildings we have to balance the new content against performance.  My computer has switchable graphics along with an intel series 4600 so it will be tested with that again as a benchmark.  Our goal is to make it look and feel as much like NY as we can while balancing availability for most mainstream systems to be able to play it reasonably well.  Obviously higher end machines will get better performance, but we'd like to make sure that even lower end rigs can play the mod stable if we can possibly do that, we will.

new features, such as a progressive style of gameplay, unique missionscripted events, interface changes, new functionalities

At this point, can you tell us any more about what's planned for these?
