"Look, I love you, Jimmy, but you're an asshole."
-Michael De Santa (Grand Theft Auto V)
You know that there's a frozen alien body under the bridge in GTA V's prologue, yes? If you wonder how it end up there and where that alien came from, soon you will have your answer. A team of ten modders led by sollaholla is working on something big for your beloved GTA V. Grand Theft Space, the upcoming mod that will let you go to space.
Synopsis
The earth has been alone in this galaxy since the very moment it was formed, but far far away in another galaxy, there was intelligent life peering at the people of earth for a millennium. This life was not the friendly life we would like to believe. The NASA research team have found remnants of alien spaceship parts scattered around the state of San Andreas. We never thought that these intelligent life-forms would ever reach our planet; but they're coming and they're not on our side. It's your mission to take out these alien scum before they reach earth.
The synopsis is interesting, it's sounds a bit like.. Transformer, maybe? Telling about the first time humans find out that there are another life form, aliens. Except the aliens in here are not some expensive sport cars.
The trailer may not seems like much, but for a work in progress project it looks awesome. The modder knew about the other space stuff mods like the Millennium Falcon mod, the problem is none of them seems to be satisfy the need to actually go to the outer space. And then the modder decided to make one as sollaholla said in the forum "Screw it, I'm gonna make a space mod." that's the spirit! One of the programmer AHK1221 also said that the mod started from sollaholla and AHK1221 talking about Interstellar.
You can explore new planets outside of the solar system, but this won't be an empty space experience where you can do nothing but flying around in space, it's aim to provide 4 missions at launch. And not only exploring by flying around the planets, you can also land on them too, exploring the planets that feature variable gravity and space vehicles. Remember what I said about frozen alien body in the prologue? As you can see in the trailer, you can meet them somewhere and fight against those aliens and hostiles with that cool railgun pistol that probably included in the mod.
After your space battle against the aliens and their UFO is done, there are plenty of collectibles accross the map waiting to be found that will grant you rewards. This is one of sollaholla's latest update video-increased distance between the earth and the moon, also the other planets.
About the progress, There is no further information about when will this mod be released yet, but the team said that it will be released when they think the mod is ready. That sounds very wise. But sollaholla said in the forum "We work on this mod very frequently! Development is very speedy considering all the details." with a growing list of contributors. The mod credit goes to the modder team; AHK1221, Pantyshot, TheMadBreaker, KAFAROS, Spud, JRod, SkylineGTRFreak, Shaezbreizh, Unknown-Modder, nkjellman, and sollaholla.
