A new FiveM store has emerged online, adding a new layer to GTA RP.
The 411 On Razed And NaturalVision
A modder named Razed launched this store, on the RazedMods website. As explained by RockstarIntel, the key feature Razed offers to entice players is NaturalVision.
NaturalVision is a long term project that raises Grand Theft Auto V’s graphics and performance quality to the standards of modern games.
Razed launched NaturalVision nine years ago. At this point, Grand Theft Auto V itself was already three years old. The game was already launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Grand Theft Auto Online was itself also very early in its lifecycle.
NaturalVision was offered for free, but Razed also runs a Patreon that offers earlier access when new versions are released. This mod works on both the story campaign and Grand Theft Auto Online.
This mod takes it to the next level.
A Review Of RazedMods Store’s Offerings
RazedMods offers both Assets and Graphics mods. As you may expect, Razed offers NaturalVision for $ 9.99 a month. He also offers Silent Fog for $ 4.99 a month. This is a graphics pack reminiscent of the fog in Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake.
Under Assets, there are three subscriptions. The Little Broker Map promises a small recreation of Broker in Liberty City for $ 14.99 a month.
The Parallax Roads Overhaul Pack offers upgrades to pavement surfaces, including parallax roads, sidewalks, and more. Subscribers get to choose between Optimized and High Resolution packs, but they can’t choose only one. This pack is available for $ 9.99 a month.
Finally, the Vehicle Engine Audio Overhaul Pack offers improved sounds for engine and other vehicle audio. Razed promises more immersive audio sounds for players. This pack is also available for $ 9.99 a month.
Who Would Buy All Of These Mods?
We do believe most people reading this won’t be interested in spending nearly $ 50 a month for all these graphics updates, even if they regularly play Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
But Razed understands that very well. He’s targeting these products to hardcore GTA RP players, and it’s really not a bad offer for them.
Because these are paid subscriptions, FiveM mods can demand that Razed keeps these mods updated on a regular basis. And Razed may already be prepared to offer the regular support, so long as he gets enough subscribers.
This all looks like a plan for Razed to work on GTA RP mods full time. We certainly wish Razed the bet of luck in this, but this does raise an interesting question.
Can Rockstar Just Hire Razed?
Rockstar may not necessarily look favorably on Razed’s FiveM store. He is not the first modder to offer paid Grand Theft Auto V or FiveM mods, but this one is high profile for how high quality it is.
And it makes one wonder why Rockstar wouldn’t just hire him to do this work. We won’t intrude on if they should make him a full time employee. He may not be able to make these updates at this level in that position.
But maybe there’s room for Rockstar to have Razed work for them to make these updates official. For now, we’ll see if Razed lives up to his promises.
