Let’s Be Real
One thing that GTA V doesn’t share with GTA IV is graphical fidelity. Rockstar’s latest Grand Theft Auto is a truly stunning game that is miles ahead of its predecessor. But, that doesn’t mean it can’t be dolled up a bit more. While the game is pretty with all of it’s new lighting, textures, and resolutions; there are some who will want to transform the game into something a bit more real. We’re not talking changing street signs, and vehicles like the Viva New York Los Angeles mod. No, were talking about making the game look like you’re walking down a real life city street, adding an unparalleled sense of immersion to your criminal (or lawful, no judgment here) exploits.
GTA IV had the benefit of receiving the IceGlace ENB treatment in order tweak some lighting and shaders making the game a lot prettier. Of course that alone wouldn’t get the job done. There was also the Reality IV Timecycle mod along with an abundance of texture mods to choose from to really get things running with that realism you may be so desperately seeking.
Bring these mods and options to GTA V and the level of realism may make you think twice about robbing that gas station. Or you might just laugh in awe as the liquor bottles behind the cashier’s head explode from your gunshots in realistic fashion. It’s entirely up to you.
There are already some huge mods planned for Grand Theft Auto V but there is really no harm in getting some help from what’s been done before. Are there any mods from GTA IV that you feel absolutely need to make a return this time around? If so feel free to share in the comments.
