[Rudiano]

All these stupid mods from GTA 4 and now GTA 5 ruin the colours. They look very washed out and not realistic at all

 

[Carlius]

It's a technical achievement but it loses a lot of the atmosphere that makes los Santos special

los santos is special? i had no idea

 

[xviper]

i have seen mods for GTA IV that looks much better than this

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Just tried it, it's a total sham, VisualV + Reshade/ENB of your preference looks leagues better and it's been out for years at this point.

I do like the handling tweaks he made however, but there are other mods for that too (wouldn't surprise me if he lifted them from someone else either..)

It's a shame this thing is catching so much attention when it's just an amalgamation of others better work. I even saw PC gamer running an article for this thing, he knows how to sell it that's for sure, but it's really nothing special, hope the other creators get justice once again, I can't see this mod not getting removed just like his previous attempts at theft.

GTA5 loaded up with actual great mods is phenomenal though, it's a completely different game.

 

[TheRed]

The sky looks really bad?

I want to get the gameplay enhancements from it because that's what I didn't like about GTA V, the visuals were and still are pretty amazing.

Police and physics enhancements have been available for a long time as their own mods. This mod is pretty much just an at least partly plagiarized compilation of other work.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

At least they have the most overt he top color changes on its own separate version.

 

[ScaryShark]

Doesn't look like GTA anymore.

 

[R_thanatos]

los santos is special? i had no idea

I like los santos , i clearly doesn't NOT want to live there , but i certain like the place for how much mayhem you can use the place for.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

So this guy has a history of ripping off other modders and their work, eh?


So of course it's going to get a ton of attention.

 

[Breakage]

These mods make it look GTA look like a generic open-world clone.

 

[poodaddy]

Anyone with an i7 3820 at stock clock and a 980 ti or a comparable rig wanna comment on performance? I'm looking at the screens goin gimme gimme but only if I still get mostly 60 as my cpu already causes me enough drops as is on vanilla.
EDIT: Nevermind not interested, reading more of the thread now and I didn't realize he was a thief. Scrubs get no love from me

 

[triplestation]

GTA V is already stunning as is and i dont understand why modders go to such great lengths to push something that good even further

cant say this is too impressive, if anything it makes things too sharp.. which makes things less realistic

i wish modders would focus on mechanics and stuff that actually makes a difference

 

[4jjiyoon]

downloaded and installing. even if the guy is a thief i'm intrigued to what it looks like.

 

[grosvenor_92]

I may reinstall GTA V now as I've been waiting for this to come out. Glad the mod isn't a super big download either

 

[Maz]

I have not moded a single thing in my life before, all I am looking for is a graphic mod. Should I install this if all I want is a graphic mod?

Install VisualV instead.

Bit of a blanket statement. There's plenty of mods that do a good job with gameplay. Check out Vehicle Handling V, Realism Dispatch Enhanced, World of Variety and NaturalMotion Euphoria.

 

[AndyVirus]

I don't agree with all their choices (e.g. real ads) but I'm a big fan of that kind of trailer. Rockstar have done it for a few games, and the Metro Redux one essentially convinced me to buy the game.

 

[antitrop]

GTA V is one of the most beautiful games ever made and this makes it look... less beautiful. More realistic doesn't mean better.

The series has typically had a very vibrant aesthetic (GTA IV withstanding) and this mod just does everything in its power to make it more dull.

 

[ChazGW7]

I wonder what kind of performance a 980ti and 4790k will give

 

[leng jai]

GTAV's colour palette is a bit washed out IMO, and looks very much the same throughout. All the reshade mods don't make it any better though.

 

[jim2point0]

And I don't get why almost every visual mod for GTA V removes the distant fog, it looks better with it on.

Fucking thank you. Drives me nuts when mods kill that.

 

[ant_]

LMAO the roads in LA don't look like that. Original roads are better

 

[Yarbskoo]

It looks interesting, but it would probably trash my already unstable framerates.

I think I'll just stick with my old mods.

 

[leng jai]

I'd say this is the best one released so far

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t_0iVC0KEQ

The automatic guns still sound like crap though, because of how difficult it is to mod them.
That's what's keeping me from releasing my own sounds, I can't wrap my head around Rockstars stupid sound system

I'm having trouble getting this to work, haven't used mods with GTAV before. I use OpenIV and overwrite all the files like the read me says. When I launch the game it updates itself and then the game sounds exactly the same. It must be updating itself and overwriting files back to the originals. I'm clearly missing something.

They can't generally.

Reshade is pretty much working off the final image, so whatever contrast or anything can't be improved upon except artificially with tonemappers or other stuff that really will just mostly sap out the colour.

There are ways to put colour "back in" but that in itself is a post-processing too that really isn't so great or accurate and won't work great in all colour situations either.

That looks nice.

We are getting a GTA SA in GTA V? Right? I hope.

 

[Haint]

So is this going to have huge amounts of black crush like all mods of this ilk?

I wonder if Microsoft's POP™ team hails from or contributes to this modding world. Probably so.

 

[Yarbskoo]

We are getting a GTA SA in GTA V? Right? I hope.

I'd settle for Vice City.

Runs flawlessly on a 1080 at 3200x1800 res. Now all we need is a mod that will finally add interiors.

That reminds me, I'd better go download that Open All Interiors mod now that I've finished the story.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I'm having trouble getting this to work, haven't used mods with GTAV before.

Same. Tried last night and again early today- nothing.

Will research weapon handling/car handling and new wanted level mods as that's all I want anyways.

 

[TheVampire]

This mod is a rip off from another mod!!!!!!!

[TheChewyWaffles]

Does this work online?

 

[Dick Justice]

To be honest, who cares? I don't get this modding community drama. Perhaps if the original creators had made the effort to make an easy to install collaborative mod-package and marketed it with a trailer on youtube like this guy did, then this wouldn't have happened.

People who don't like seeing their work ripped off, maybe? What an ignorant thing to say.

Also, the mod in question does come with an easy to install package. Same format as Redux, obviously. So way to show off your ignorance.

Hopefully this is not a serious question

 

[Dick Justice]

We are talking about similar parameters, not actual source code. Also, do you think that mods should become IP?

Quite a leap. Yeah, if you dislike the idea of ripping people's work off, then you clearly must support mods becoming copyrighted.

If yes, then I'm done with the shenanigans of the modding community and running vanilla from now on.

Errr. I'd say the mod creators who spent hundreds of hours creating content only to have it ripped off with no consultation / credit?
Or the people who like to support ethical mod development?

 

[FleckSplat]

Ok, how do I uninstall this? I can't even load the game

Do you have the ASI loader and the plugin installed?

Also you shouldn't be replacing the original files, put everything in a folder called "mods" in the main folder

 

[FleckSplat]

He failed to mention the asi stuff in the readme so I installed and it didn't give me an option of where to install. Now I can't launch the game.

His instructions also say install into "Game folder", so....

So let me get this straight... because the guy whipped up a fancy trailer and a all-in-one installer it's okay for him to take all the credit for the people who are truly responsible for over a year of hard work...What kind of fucked up logic is that?

It would be different if he at least credited the other creators, instead you have Kotaku articles named "Gorgeous New GTA V Mod Is The Work of One Person" as if he's some messiah tier modder.

 

[NeonBlack]

So when I tried to run this the launcher tries to reinstall all the updates. I'm guessing thats not suppose to happen.

 

[The Janitor]

I would recommend deleting the files you modded, then redownload them through Steam.
After that never replace the original files, use the mods folder so when things go wrong you can just delete stuff from that folder without screwing up your installation.
And watch some tutorials on youtube how to mod GTA V if you're unsure about anything

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

Cant wait to play this on my ps4 pro in 4k.

 

[HolyFridge]

Now i regret spending like an hour installing this... VusualV looks better IMO.

 

[Quirah]

No words on performance yet? I am wondering about what GTX 970 does with that.

Thanks, I'm trying that now! I appreciate it.

I'll let you know if I can get it running.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Why would anyone want real-life advertisements

Personally, I find Rockstar's "humorous" fake products painfully unfunny and lame as hell.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Yup.

 

[MuchoMalo]

I think that I prefer the original's lightly stylized look over hyper-realisim ans saturation tbh. Really impressive though.

But I bet that the original creators didn't put "please do not copy/use this work without my permission like the creator of this package mod did. /s

 

[TheAdmiester]

Modding is supposed to be done for fun and giving to the community, not for money or recognition.

Redux is absolutely for those things. Tons of articles have been written about its trailers and stuff with taglines like "one man's GTA overhaul" and so on. The guy has a donate button on his website which is technically being paid for others' work, and he attaches his name to EVERY bit of media for the mod.

He also has explicit instructions everywhere that say do not even redistribute, which is rich for a plagarist.
