GTA 5 Looks Jaw Dropping With This PC Mod

Toddyhancer takes the presentation of Rockstar's open-world to the next level.

155 Comments

An industrious Grand Theft Auto V PC player has overhauled the game's visuals with a home-made software mod, and the results have left fans captivated.

Posting on Reddit, Martin 'Toddyftw' Bergman described the Toddyhancer mod as a "work in progress" that uses a whole range of tools to introduce new visual effects. The software includes ReShade, a generic post-processing injector, which is used to add "ambient occlusion, bokeh depth of field, and colour correction."

Meanwhile, the middleware ENB, which has previously been used for games including Skyrim, Oblivion, and Deus Ex, allows greater control over post-processing effects and high dynamic range lighting. Along with those, Bergman has made a few "simple tweaks and some tonemapping with class."

It's important to note that the mod is in the early stages of development and, much like with GTA 4's iCEnhancer, is likely to evolve and improve the realistic visual style over time.

@playstationzone: if rockstar wasn't trying to sell the game three times (gen7, gen8, PC), at $60 a pop then the PC community would have had more time to do things like this. If PC got the game in 2013 like they were supposed to then by this time more mods would be completed, instead it's going to take time. enjoy your toasterStation4.

ICEnhancer got ridiculous over time. There are only about 3 versions that don't look like a Hannah-Barbera cartoon.

@skipper847: Not for Reshade, it's just a graphical enhancer. I use it on pretty much every game I've got. You only get banned for stuff that modifies in-game stats or mechanics in Online.

Did you mean to post a GTA 4 video? At last we're starting to see a proper next-gen version of GTA 5.
