The Last of Us Recreated in Grand Theft Auto 5

The Last Of Us And Grand Theft Auto V are very different games in terms of genre, gameplay and even the basic setting. The major difference to this day is that PC users never got the amazing opportunity of playing The Last of Us on their systems. That might remain a pipe dream, and while games will be games, modders will also be modders. And now the modding community has found a way to mash-up these two seemingly incompatible worlds. What can we say, they just don’t know when to quit.

YouTube content creator ‘taltigolt’ assembled a brief 5-minute preview demonstrating how GTAV’s PC modding tools can be utilized to effectively recreate the visuals, aesthetic and atmosphere of a game that, on the surface, it shares hardly anything in common with. All that’s missing is Joel’s teenage charge Ellie and a horde of infected to hide from.

Along with showing off the impressive creations that can be undertaken by mixing tools from skilled modders, the clip also demonstrates part of why Grand Theft Auto 5’s multiplayer component, Grand Theft Auto Online, continues to be such a potent moneymaking force for Rockstar and Take-Two. Beyond the robust creation tools, a steady drip of new content and a bounty of in-game events like the holiday-themed Christmas and Halloween updates have kept devoted players engaged and coming back for more from one of the most popular games of the last generation. In fact, GTA V was recently revealed as the most Tweeted-about game of 2015 — beating out dozens of other huge current-gen releases for the title and also sold over 60 million copies worldwide.
