The critically-acclaimed ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ will finally be coming to next-gen consoles this month, and they’re bringing some new features along for the ride. Among them: First-person play.
From Rockstar:
Exclusive to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V, this new mode gives players the chance to explore the world of Los Santos and Blaine County directly through the eyes of their character, revealing all the world’s glorious details in an entirely new way.
Available in both GTAV and GTA Online, we’ve made a host of changes to accommodate this new perspective, including the creation of an optional first person cover system, a new targeting system, a more traditional FPS control scheme, and integrating thousands of new animations into the existing game. It’s also available at the touch of a button so you can easily switch back and forth between perspectives.
Alongside the new First Person mode, Grand Theft Auto V for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC features hundreds of additions and enhancements including 1080p resolution at 30FPS on PS4 and Xbox One (4K compatible on PC).
GTA has always been known for it’s third-person experience, but it’s pretty sweet that they’re now giving users the option to experience every aspect of the game (including online play) through the eyes of the playable characters. If nothing else, it’s an added incentive for next-gen owners to purchase (or re-purchase) the game almost a year after it was originally released for previous-gen consoles.
