I have added parkour to GTA 5, and also accidentally turned on like 20 mods I forgot I’d installed
A writer’s attempt to add parkour to GTA 5 with the ParkourV mod also revived a collection of previously installed mods after they updated a core modding tool. The mishap turned a test of flips and rolls across Los Santos into an unpredictable mix of parkour and forgotten features.
The writer says the game’s characters are not built for parkour, so their upper bodies stay rigid while they flip. The mod still makes it fun to move around the city, though one attempt at a double frontflip in a missing section of the map ended in a collision with a person wearing a fursuit. The article gives no exact count of the reactivated mods, describing them as “like 20”.
In short
- Updating a core tool revived old GTA 5 mods.
- ParkourV adds flips and rolls to Los Santos.
- The game’s stiff animations make stunts look odd.
