Reddit’s member ‘MapEditorMaster’ is currently remaking Grand Theft Auto San Andreas from scratch in Far Cry 5’s Map Editor. According to the Redditor, this map will feature a portion of the GTA San Andreas map, and will have proper gameplay elements.
From the looks of it, MapEditorMaster has carefully avoided using any copyrighted material. As such, Rockstar and Take-Two won’t be able to shut this project down. And while this looks like GTA San Andreas, it does not feature any direct references to it. In short, Take-Two can’t really issue a C&D takedown.
However, you should not expect this fan remake to feature the entire map. And even though there will be some gameplay elements, this fan remake won’t have the original missions from GTA San Andreas. In other words, you should temper your expectations. Still, it’s really cool witnessing such a fan remake.
I’ve also included below an image from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas’ map. The project will recreate the red area at the bottom right.
Speaking of GTA San Andreas fan remakes, there was an Unreal Engine 4 concept video that Take-Two has already shut down. Take-Two has also shut down a remaster mod of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in GTA 5.
Enjoy the following video and stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

lol,sure..
Either that someone abandons it really fast or gets sued – whichever comes first
This is just a student project that will never see the light of day, and John just makes it worse by thinking it’s newsworthy.
I would have avoided announcing it altogether.
Jesus Christ man why can’t these “someones” work on their own IPs instead of copying the same rubbish over and over.
following the same trend of AAA games insanity……..
Damn, you are 100% they aren’t event trying when they start out either. Reminds me of one is the top business schools at a university called York University. They did a survey many years ago and found out that out of all the majors in the University, the business school cheated the most. Whatadyya know, they are preparing for the real world.
well business/finance system is a scam anyways ? with fake currency (control tool of elites)
they usually do it to learn how to make games, some guy remade most of cry of fear but the only footage of if that exists is captured footage from a discord video.
Take Two lawyers just around the corner.
And the will be finished 2090
When it’s finished Rockstar will take it down
You mean Rockstar is gonna ‘finish’ it.
Someone can’t extrapolate from the past…
Pointless project, and even more pointless news story. Are you trying to give this reddit guy a job?
Someone is crazy and delusional AF, Rockstar modding community in a nutshell
Yeah and even if he pulled it off, Rockstar cucks would C&D it.
A lot of these sorts of projects are for portfolio and resume/employment purposes not for actual full games so cut him some slack. The best way to get attention is to work with things similar to popular things, get some free publicity, duh that’s why. It’s pretty competitive in all jobs, it’s no different and even harder in creative work. Yeah someone with these skills could do a simple 2d side-scrolling game single handed or very small team and probably make bank at charging $2 for it on steam, a better way to make a living rather than look to some staff job, but to each their own.
Someone is rtarded
Take Two and Rockstar right now:
