White Team shared yesterday the first trailer for its Red Dead Redemption mod for Grand Theft Auto V. This mod was aiming to port the whole Red Dead Redemption map – from the X360 version of the game – to the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. However, Take-Two got in touch with this modding team and shut it down.
As White Team’s Mr. Leisurewear stated:
“I know this is hard pill to swallow, but as you may have noticed we did get contacted , and we sadly have to say we are stopping this project.”
As Leisurewear claimed, this project was never meant to be a proper total conversion (with single-player story elements) mod for GTA V. It was just a map for GTA V, with various scripted content, and nothing more. As such, we are a bit puzzled as to why Take-Two decided to shut it down, especially since there are similar mods/maps for GTA V out there.
“We were only gonna get a way to convert the map with both legal copies of each game , and some custom scripted additional content , there was never any intention or mention to either port a storymode over from RDR to V.”

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.
