Video: GTA San Andreas banger remaster with 51 mods

A fan-made remaster of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas addresses shortcomings in the official version. Due to ongoing interest in the classic game, Shapatar XT created a comprehensive remaster incorporating 51 modifications.

This isn't just a graphical overhaul. Shapatar XT tackled the infamous "flying trees" issue by improving map loading, allowing players to anticipate obstacles. Vegetation also received significant enhancements.

Several mods enhance the game's realism and vibrancy. Details like scattered litter, active NPCs (e.g., car repairs), airport activity (taking off planes), and improved signage and graffiti add to the immersion.

Gameplay improvements include a new over-the-shoulder shooting camera, realistic recoil, revamped weapon sounds, and bullet hole effects. CJ's arsenal boasts updated weapon models, and free-aim shooting while driving is now possible.

A first-person perspective is also available, complete with visible vehicle controls and realistic weapon handling.

A mod-pack introduces new vehicles, including a Toyota Supra, each featuring detailed elements like working headlights, taillights, and animated engines.

Numerous quality-of-life improvements are included. For instance, clothing changes are now instantaneous, eliminating lengthy animations. CJ himself has received a visual upgrade.
