GTA 5 update: Attack of the Clones proves deadly for Rockstar fans



GTA 5 fans can unleash a heap of new mods every week



ROCKSTAR continue on their quest to show off the best of what the GTA 5 community have to offer, who are still busy creating new and exciting ideas for the game.

 

UPDATE ONE: A Clone Trooper with some serious style has been spotted stomping around Los Santos and Blaine County, another new mod from the fan-made powerhouse.

The Clone Trooper mod doesn't appear to have been set live yet but shows a good-looking character from the Star Wars prequel movies reaping some havoc while on a casual stroll.

The video was created using the Rockstar Editor on PC and follows other notable mods, including Skyrim's Dragonborn curing some of Los Santos' worst traffic jams with a word or two.

Both were made by Adam Pinkman with Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PC and a variety of mods and has also put together clips starring Spider Man and Halo's Master Chief.

Speaking about recreating intro to Skyrim using GTA 5, Pinkman said: "It was quite challenging with the scenes," he told Polygon.

"I had to use other mods to accomplish these types of shots for instance. When people are panicking and rushing all over the streets, I used the Chaos Mod."

 

GTA 5 fans continue to supply plenty of new ways to enjoy the Grand Theft Auto franchise

The developer have put together a new article, celebrating the efforts of the global fanbase who continue to put together new projects connected with the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

This week they are focusing on the not-for-profit art fanzine entitled What Happens in the Dark, including 74 pages worth of GTA fan art curated and compiled by editor and designer G.E. McKinnon and their Not Lit House online imprint. 

A message from Rockstar explains: "We continue to be amazed and inspired every single day by the creative efforts of the worldwide GTA player community – from the Snapmatic photographers scene to the moviemaking of Rockstar Editors to talented illustrators such as these – and this wonderful compendium of original artwork is truly humbling to see. 

"Thank you to all of the artists who participated in this collection and a special thanks to McKinnon and veteran GTA fandom artist Amanda Burke - not only for their own artwork and contributions, but for their very sweet sentiments in the book’s foreword found on page 3."

A very fun read for any GTA fan, you can see the entire zine online at http://issuu.com/notlithouse/docs/gta_zine or you can download the PDF via MediaFire or Google Drive. Check out just a few of the excellent pieces found in the zine, below.

The project was crowdsourced from worldwide-based GTA fans, with Rockstar providing a link for gamers to check out the finished project here.

GTA 5 fans continue to play with the game mechanics, using their modding skills to put together some pretty impressive stunts.

A new epic stunts montage has been put together, featuring semi-trucks taking their hauls to new heights, using the C4 nuke and invincibility mods to make sure nothing exploded halfway through filming.

For the stunts to be pulled off, specially modded C4 explosives were needed which would have the capability of blowing objects high into the air.

GTA 5 recently saw a new online update rolled out by Rockstar that adds a long list of freemode events to the game.

It follows the news that Rockstar plans to continue producing new content for GTA Online, casting doubts on an eventual DLC story release.

 

GTA 5 fans are set to receive more free online content in the near future
