GTA 5's Liberty City mod cancelled due to Rockstar's modding policy

4.1
Open IV's ambitious Liberty City in GTA V mod was due to release this summer and work was almost complete, but it's just been cancelled.

The modding group recently won a battle with Rockstar parent company Take-Two, who threatened to pull the plug on their platform altogether. That was until Rockstar stepped in and a compromise was agreed. Unfortunately, this specific mod is a victim of that compromise.

"The development of OpenIV will be continued as before. OpenIV never supported GTA Online modding and will not support it in the future. Our work will be continued within the Rockstar modding policy," the group said in a post, via PCGamer.

"Unfortunately, our highly anticipated mod 'Liberty City in GTA V' will not be released because it clearly contradicts with Rockstar modding policy. Liberty City mod is a big loss for us, since it was a huge part of our motivation to push OpenIV functionality."

The mod aimed to recreate Liberty City in its entirety and plonk it across the ocean from Los Santos. Read on for the details and a look at what could have been.

Man that looks like an insane mod, just checked out all of their pictures on their website and oh my, looks exactly like a remastered GTA IV if not better.

Would've been a great mod and no doubt they would've done it to perfection.
