Grand Theft Auto 5 is a game about shapeshifting now. I don't make the rules
I mean, I guess I sort of do.
Grand Theft Auto 5, the popular open-world game, has recently undergone an unexpected transformation. Modder Shawn Fonteno has installed Shapeshifter V, which enables players to instantly assume the appearance of any pedestrian they stealthily attack. This feature, while intriguing, serves little practical purpose in the game. Players can adopt outfits and abilities from the characters they transform into, effectively becoming a "great roving blob" on a quest to consume and replicate others.
Despite the novelty, the voice of the transformed character remains unchanged, leading to comical moments such as old men and young men screaming in terror as they are suddenly whisked away by tornadoes or teleported into the sky. The modder emphasizes that the shift to full-screen mode is a significant change, though it remains to be seen if the game will revert to its previous windowed mode.
As the modding journey continues, the ultimate goal is to create a customized version of GTA 5, possibly paving the way for its successor, GTA 6.
