I might finally have gone too far with a GTA 5 mod that imports most of Doom 2

A mod named Doom 2 in GTA 5 Hell On Earth (D2IGTA5HOE) merges elements of Doom 2 with Grand Theft Auto 5, allowing players to switch from third-person to first-person perspective using the F9 key. Players can engage in combat in Los Santos with weapons from the Doom franchise, such as a minigun and BFG, while activating Hell On Earth mode with the F10 key introduces Doom 2 enemies. The gameplay features include battling demons and armed furries, with additional features like flossing and Superman mode also triggered by the F10 key, which can clutter the screen.

I am cavorting with a gazelle’s grace in Grand Theft Auto 5

A modder is experimenting with Grand Theft Auto 5, aiming to enhance it towards a PC version of GTA 6 or to deconstruct it. One notable creation is the Back Flip Mod, which allows characters to perform backflips using the page down key. While successful flips lead to amusing self-satisfaction, there is a risk of failure, resulting in a ragdoll effect when characters attempt the maneuver. This unpredictability adds humor to the modding experience and keeps the community engaged.

The dream of running GTA V natively on Android just died

The GTA V Android port project has been shut down by parent company Take-Two Interactive with a cease-and-desist letter, ending hopes of a native and optimized version of the game on Android phones. The project aimed to run the game natively on ARM hardware, but relied on leaked source code and violated strict modding policies, leading to its closure on October 3, 2026. The project's source code will not be released publicly to avoid further legal issues. This leaves emulation and cloud streaming as the only options for mobile gamers to play GTA V on their Android phones.

Forget GTA 6, I have brought GTA 5 closer to being the true greatest game of all time: Hulk

Modder adds 235 destructible Flock cameras to GTA 5 so you can ‘do whatever the flock you want’ to them

A new mod for Grand Theft Auto V allows players to target and "destroy" virtual surveillance cameras, specifically 235 Flock cameras, as a commentary on real-world surveillance culture. Flock operates over 100,000 cameras nationwide, with a significant number in Los Angeles County, the inspiration for the game's setting. The mod represents only one-tenth of the actual surveillance in the area. Players can engage in digital activism through this gameplay, but the modder warns that vandalizing real Flock cameras is illegal and offers no rewards. The mod is available for download on GitHub.

I added player-seeking hit squads to GTA 5, though the billion other mods I have installed keep getting in their way

I turned car friction off in GTA 5. Help

A modding enthusiast in Los Santos has transformed Grand Theft Auto V by setting all NPC vehicles to have constant, unstoppable momentum and disabling friction, resulting in vehicles floating through the air. The modder revived an older modification, the anti-air truck, to create a whimsical spectacle. Initially, all vehicles were set to maximum speed, making the game unplayable, but after adjustments, a speed of 15 was implemented, allowing for chaotic yet navigable gameplay. Players can witness this airborne vehicle display from Franklin's balcony, although they may occasionally be unexpectedly hit by fast-moving vehicles.

Don’t tell Nintendo, but I turned GTA 5 into Pokémon Go using a mod

In the modding community, there is an ongoing effort to transform Grand Theft Auto 5 into a version similar to GTA 6. Players have noted that vehicles traveling at supersonic speeds can severely impact anything in their path. The game's protagonists—Franklin, Michael, and Trevor—often appear to navigate Los Santos in solitude, prompting the desire to introduce companions into their adventures. A creative concept called Pokémon Go GTA Edition reimagines Los Santos as a hunting ground for Pokémon, featuring characters like Geodudes, Charmanders, and Pikachu. In this mod, only Trevor seems capable of hunting Pokémon, leading to encounters where he captures a Geodude and a Squirtle, while a Charmander escapes after a brief skirmish.
