Since it came out on PC two years ago, avid fans have created tons of great mods for Grand Theft Auto 5 created. The offerings range from grandiose to crazy, so there should be something for every mood and playing style – personally, I especially love the crazy mods, but there are also excellent projects like Razeds NaturalVision Remasteredwhose charm I cannot escape.
NaturalVision Remastered is, as the name suggests, a complete overhaul of its namesake, changing and improving the game’s weather effects, lighting system, environmental colors and sound mapping, “in order to blur the line between fantasy and reality.” And the result is breathtaking.
Razed explained on the GTA5 mods page of the mod, that more than 40 hours of footage of real Southern California were studied to create the right atmosphere, plus “hundreds” of photos. He also traveled diligently in the Los Angeles and Salton Sea areas to collect personal impressions.
He gave up on this mod ReShade and let himself go Forza Horizon 3, GTA 4 and Watch Dogs to inspire. Razed estimates that he worked around 1,200 hours over the course of six months NaturalVision Remastered invested.
