GTA 5 ( 3 MODS WE MUST HAVE )

iCEnhancer

Visually, GTA 5 is an obvious improvement over GTA 4, and will no doubt look even better on the new generation of consoles, but I'm naturally excited to see just how far modders can take it on PC. Quite far, if history repeats itself: iCEnhancer, a graphical mod for GTA 4, makes the game remarkably beautiful, adding high fidelity textures, depth of field, post-effects, and more. Even better, the mod is fully customizable, letting users tweak the settings until they find the look they want, as well as low and mid-end versions of the mod that will run comfortably on slower or older PCs.
In addition to iCEnhancer, there have been a number of other graphics mods for GTA games that provide tweaks to weather and lighting to make the game look truly spectacular in videos and screenshots. No one puts these mods to use like Duncan Harris of Dead End Thrills (the above screenshot is his).
The creator of iCEnhancer recently decided to take an extended break from work on the mod, though I sincerely hope he'll return to add some extra flash to GTA 5.


 Massive Multiplayer

Currently on console, GTA 5 Online allows only 16 players, which feels like a bad joke considering the size of the map and the potential for mayhem. What's more, multiplayer will reportedly only be increased to 30 players when it hits new consoles. That just ain't gonna cut it on PC. Even 64 players doesn't sound like much these days, thanks to a multiplayer mod for a different game: Just Cause 2. Its modded multiplayer mode allows hundreds of players in the same game at the same time.
Speeding around the massive landmass of GTA 5 in the company of terrifically huge swarms of other players, blowing each other up in massive battles for key locations? I'm afraid we're gonna need someone to mod that in. The videos! Won't someone think of the videos!


Flyable UFOs

GTA 5 isn't just filled with foul mouths and fast cars: there's also an intriguing mystery at its core. The game's highest peak, Mount Chilead, contains a map of sorts, and decoding it led players to several UFO sightings around the game. While staring in wonder at hovering flying saucers is fine, in a game that lets you steal as many vehicles as you can there's naturally a strong desire to fly the UFO itself. (Why Rockstar didn't include this as an actual feature is as big a mystery as the UFOs themselves.)
I imagine we won't have to wait long before a modder allows us to start buzzing downtown Los Santos in a flying saucer: someone even figured out a way to do it on the console version, so modding it on the PC certainly ought to be doable. Hopefully, modders will also throw in some laser weapons to fight the fuzz, and maybe they'll even patch in an abduction ray: I'm quite keen to finally capture Bigfoot.
