The PC gaming community waited with bated breath as Rockstar delayed any news of GTA V on the PC. Once the game was finally out on the PC in 2015, the modding community went to town with the game.
However, Rockstar also had a surprise in store for fans of GTA V on the PC. The game shipped with a feature called 'Director Mode', which left the fans puzzled at first.
Players were confused regarding what 'Director Mode' essentially added to the game, or how exactly does it come in use. However, since its release, fans have made full use of the Director Mode and created cinematic brilliance within the world of GTA V.
Director Mode essentially lets you take full control of the game, even more so than what is initially offered in the game. Almost every character you interact with becomes available in the Director Mode, and you can choose to do as you please.
For example, if you wanted to make a short film about Amanda de Santa going berserk in Los Santos and gunning down drug dealers, amidst a thunderstorm, you very well could.
