The core part of this transformation is Rapidiment's After Us: Rodeo mod which is rather stylish recreation of The Last of Us visuals in GTA V. It unfortunately doesn't affect the entirety of GTA V's map but where it does work it works extremely well as you'll see in the video below.
The video itself was made by a youtuber called taltigolt who cleverly combined GTAFREAk67S's Joel (The Last Of Us) mod with After Us: Rodeo to create something very similar to The Last of Us. Here's the video:

Xenonauts 1 was a turn based strategy game released back in 2014 and heavily inspired by the old XCOM series. Rather than simply copy the XCOM formula Xenonauts developers opted to go for a much more in-depth tactical experience and even though it definitely had some flaws it was a pretty fun game.
While there were rumors of Xenonauts 2 being in development for many months now, it has only recently been confirmed by the developers themselves. Xenonauts 2 is set to launch sometime in 2017 with an Early Access release coming in the next few months. Here's the currently known list of features:

If you're not familiar with Dust 514, it is a Playstation 3 exclusive FPS released back in 2013 and set in the EVE universe. Dust 514 was an interesting experiment but locking it away behind a PS3 exclusivity when the original EVE MMO is a PC only game was a rather questionable move that has now reached its sad conclusion.

Here's the announcement message:
