GTA IV’s Watch Dogs Mod Is Surprisingly Close to the Real Thing

You can even hack vending machines. That’s some admirable attention to detail.

Called Watch Dogs IV, the mod replaces most of GTA IV’s native HUD with that of Watch Dogs (although the HUD elements are created from scratch), and upgrades the phone to have hacking capabilities similar to the one Aiden has.

This video shows off the majority of the mod’s features, which include, according to the creator, JulioNIB (the same guy who did
that

Hack:

Payphone, ticket machine and ATM – Explode

Wall lights – Burst

ATM – Free money

Trains – Stop, Go, Return

Traffic lights – Confuse drivers making them crash

Cameras – View camera live video

Pop Machines – Release soda cans

Parked cars – Trip alarm

Other:

ctOS wanted level system (pre-wanted + witness call + scan = wanted level)

And they look pretty well-implemented too, apart from some slightly jerky animations
