Feature: 8 GTA V Mods We Want To See On PC

Earlier today Rockstar announced that GTA V would be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One this November with a PC release scheduled for January next year, quashing any and all rumours that the PC version was canned.

This got us and many others understandably excited. Why? Well, the PS4 and Xbox One re-release may be look all fancy and what not on the new console, but you wont be able to enjoy the game to its fullest potential until you play it on the PC, the reason being - mods.

The modding community is huge, you just have to type any game that’s available on PC into YouTube along with the word ‘mod’ and you’ll find thousands of videos of gamers enjoying multiple mods that expand and enhance the experience of the game. Of course, GTA V is a fantastic title as it stands, but the potential for the modding community is infinite.

So with that, here’s our most wanted GTA V mods. Please modding geniuses, make these happen!

1. Flight

Ever since early man first walked the Earth, we’ve wondered what it would be like to soar through the skies with nothing but the wind beneath us. Well that was early man, modern man just wants to fly in his video games dammit!

We’re not talking about motorised flight either, we want to soar like an eagle over Mount Chilliad and crash-land into the Ferris wheel on the pier. GTA V already gave us a taste of it with the cheats, but complete control over your flight speed, direct and more would be so much cooler.

2. Super Heroes!

Not that Michael, Trevor and Franklin weren’t heroic enough, they’re just a different type of hero. We’d love to see some great mods that put players in the capes of histories finest comic book characters. GTA IV on the PC brought us the Iron Man mod, which we loved by the way, but how about creating the entire Avengers team? Or the Justice League? Or both? Multiplayer could be pretty wicked if two teams fought one another as comics greatest super-hero squads.

3. Zombies

Alright, we know zombies have been done to death in video games and there’s probably going to be a zombie themed DLC at some point, but just think about what the modding community could do with it. Take some of the buildings that you can actually enter in the game and turn them into forts where you can barrier up doors, team up with a few friends and fend off the zombies of Los Santos. Mix in some Don’t Stop Me Now by rock-legends Queen and we’ll be your friend forever.

4. Custom Vehicles

GTA V is packed with cars, planes, helicopters and bikes, but what if you could fly the Millenium Falcon or zip around the city in the Batmobile? GTA IV was great for vehicle mods so we’re expecting great things come January.

5. Custom Weapons

Lightsabers. That’s all this writer wants. Give us the open world Star Wars game we need, please! Aside from my own fantasies, there’s the possibility for some great weapon mods in GTA V.

6. Graphics

GTA IV looked like the bomb when it first released, but time wasn’t kind and it soon looked remarkably dated. The iCEnhancer mod updated all the in-game textures and breathed new life into the game, pushing beyond what Rockstar could ever do with it. GTA V, whilst being a visually stunning game will no doubt start to show its age sometime down the line, but with some graphic mods it could still be a graphically relevant game for years to come!

7. First Person Mod

GTA V is played in traditional GTA fashion - third person. But what if you could really see the world through crazy eyes of Trevor? It wouldn’t be a game changer, sure, but it’d be a heck of a lot of fun and would give us a glimpse of what a first-person GTA could be.

8. Top Down Perspective

Carrying on with the view theme, how about playing GTA V in the style of GTA 2? In case you never experienced GTA 2 on the PlayStation One, you played from a top-down perspective, nothing fancy.

That’s our wish list for GTA V mods on the PC, hopefully we’ll see them all after GTA V releases on PC in January 2015, and hopefully a lot more awesome mods!
