First Person Mode in Foot and Car Coming to GTA 5

GC - "Rockstar Games had recently posted that a first person mod would be coming to GTA 5 but they quickly removed the post."

[Smurf1]

Rockstar's doing great job with this game. This is how you make a remastered game.

[Dark11]

Rockstar showing how Remasters are done.

[overlorduk]

Yet a lot of people, as happened with the ones who have already played it on the older consoles, will still complain that they get bored with it very quickly. It seems that the more there is to do in a game the quicker people get bored with it. Then they go back to running in circles in COD or BF :D

I'm looking forward to it. Open world games are the best and even better with a first person option IMO.

[EvilWay]

"Showing how remasters are done?"

Don't get to ahead of yourself. The experience will be the exact same. I would bet heists are still not in by the time the game re releases.

343i showed us how remasters are done

What are they doing to "show us how remasters are done" exactly?

[mikeslemonade]

GTAV is not worth playing again. Despite being a top 10 last gen game.

[XBLSkull]

343i and Rockstar are both giving a clinic on remasters this year, other devs should be taking notes if they are planning to follow suit (MCC, wow! What an incredible fan service). Hate that this game is coming out a week after Halo and on the same day as Far Cry, not enough hours in a day to be able to take all these experiences in, these 3 games should have me entertained for weeks, and there is still a handful out on the same days I didn't bother to mention but still quality titles.

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

i havent played GTA 5 yet so i cant wait and dont mind paying 60.. i waited a while tho lol

[NarooN]

Let the hype train rev it's engines up yet again.

So they increase the texture resolution, up the framerate, increase draw distance, make the traffic denser, etc., basically stuff that's totally EXPECTED from a gimped PC version, and they add a first-person view whilst walking (which will most likely be totally worthless in actual combat) and that's somehow revolutionary? Lol no.

[NCAzrael]

@EvilWay

Probably by adding gameplay changes and making the experience a bit different. For those rare people that haven't played the game, it's still the same great game it was when it was released, but with better visuals. For those of us who have played the game, it's still the same great game it was but with better visuals and some subtle changes to what we're used to.

Personally, I don't care if they never follow through with heists for online. I just want them to focus on some really great single player DLC.

[UltraNova]

Either I'm too hard to please or the upgrades seem a bit excepted...I think this was the original version of the game's pc development stage then 'trimmed' to console specs while porting...

One thing's for sure, we all know that 3rd person view is optimal for this kind of game and that R* wouldn't even bother with s 1st p.v. if it wasn't for future VR support. Now that is what I call a true upgrade, if, its directly developed by R* themselves of course.

Its a must buy anyway since I didnt finish the game on my ps3 in anticipation for the next gen version. Los Santos I coming to finish what I started!

[Kidmyst]

@mikeslemonade I respect your opinion but I am an exception to that, I played the hell out of it on PS3 and shelved it for other new games. But when I heard about the next gen remaster with better resolution and added stuff I am looking forward to playing it again as much if not more the second time. unlike GTA4 where I bailed after about half way on single player I thoroughly enjoyed GTA5 and the mix of characters. Not to mention friends who held out for a PS4 version I can play with online. Plus keep all my cars, guns and Apt. where I left off.

[r1sh12]

would 1st person in gta ruin it?
Personally I wouldnt use it.

Also they could be doing all these great game updates etc. But

Are there heists yet?

Personally I think 1st person isnt right for a game like GTA but i could be wrong.

This is still a rumour though

[jdaboss]

heres the thing though.. I think its really gonna happen. Look back at the first PS4/XBone trailer and you see a shot of Michael in a car with the first person view.

[NukaCola]

It already has 1st person driving. I never use it though. GTA is a third person game through and through.

[tee_bag242]

The original GTA was a top down. Going to 3rd person didn't ruin it. Nothing wrong with adding new things.
I'm all for it so long as I can choose other views too

[TheRedButterfly]

TMCC says hi.

[LookAtYou]

I remember saying this was a must have feature for GTA 5 a year before it came out, on this site, and most people were like omg noooooo that'd change the game too much and take away from the original formula, rockstar are godzzz don't tell them how to make gamez. Glad theyre adding it.

[geddesmond]

"Take this as a rumour for now, but looks like Rockstar Games released this info way too early and backtracked"

The game is only one month away from release how early can this information come. To me all information should be hitting the media right now. I know its GTA, the biggest franchise ever after Mario and it needs no help to sell but why are rockstar holding more information. The more info released now equls the more pre orders it will get from last gen owners wantig an upgrade.

[PainUzumaki]

Oh wow...I guess they took notes when they saw that first person mod someone did a couple months back on youtube...I hope this happens on the next gen & PC versions!

[Vegamyster]

A first person mod for GTA4 came out 5ish years ago.

[PainUzumaki]

Didnt know that....thnx

[ScamperCamper]

From what I'm reading.. http://www.grandtheftautofo... the PC version should be the greatest PC game ever. I just want those PC specs verified. I guess with the release date delay for PC version till 2015, we have to wait what rig we need and what cards are out at the time. I'm a big mad because my rig seems good, but in 6 months that may not be the case. Whatever the case, I'm with you. Mods!! Bring it on. They bring huge value and Rockstar must realize it.

[dodgemoose]

Not sure how I feel about a first person mode for on foot. Can imagine gunfights becoming awfully twitchy if it lets you zoom in using scopes/sights.

[Dee_91]

I don't know.A first person GTA would be kind of awesome..I'm pretty sure if its true they can get it to work smoothly.
It would bring new life to swimming, sky diving,... prostitutes.

[Liamario]

This is NOT a rumour.

[Dontworrybhappy]

Proof. I don't want to get excited and have it not be true.

[Dee_91]

Actually I thought they said interior view for cars at e3.. First hearing of on foot tho...

[smolinsk]

why remove it again?? is it not true then after all?

[Smurf1]

Maybe they published early.

[ps5fanboy]

If they get the controls right could be truly mind blowing.

[Remy_Chaos]

Totally, same could be done for Mass Effect. However EA being EA, they'll try to COD it up as well.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more. That is pretty sweet, I was thinking it would just be first person without functional gauges.

[DoctorFry]

Well, in the first PS4 trailer you can see the tachometer and speedometer gauges move as Michael accelerates.

[Liamario]

Sorry, can't help you there. I wouldn't even know how to begin to provide it without there being trouble.

[FullmetalRoyale]

If it is first person that you can actually look down and see your feet in... Holy crap. I won't get this day one, because while I definitely want to visit Los Santos again, it feels like I was just there so I'll be waiting a bit.

But I am still very much looking forward to my next trip, hopefully with that first person perspective!

[Iceball2000]

Maybe there adding first person for project morpheus!!!

[Bodge]

*Oculus

[Remy_Chaos]

Why not both?

[Iceball2000]

yeah, well maybe both, PM only works on PS products im guessing, and Oculus will be universal.

[TardcoreGamer]

LOL NO.

[aLiEnViSiToR]

I thought they already said this i can swear i heard this before somewhere... and GTA4 has a mode like this that was very popular.

[scark92]

If they implemented this, I would rebuy the game!

[Sir_Simba]

This is awesome, I love first person driving, watchdogs did terribly

[Daniel_Potter]

First person wasn't really bad in Watch Dogs, on other hand collisions while driving were bad, ruining driving for the most part.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Not sure this would suit GTA, but good to have options. I wonder if it would be restricted to irs own playlist when it comes to TDM as those who want to play third person may have a disadvantage.
Also, maybe this is PC only, as there will be tonnes of mods for the PC version.

[dcj0524]

Third person has the cover system which provides certain advantages

[mysteryraz11]

consoles have the potential for mods ut3 on the ps3 had lots of mods dont know why no other game allowed that on consoles

[ThatOneGuyThere]

$ DLC

[tommygunzII]

I hope so. Hood cam just isn't cutting it.

[mixelon]

.. Yes! Put in first person, then when it comes to PC we can play it with Oculus Rift..

Maybe PS4 could get Morpheus support. An open world game like GTA and VR would be absolutely insane. Just imagine all the flying and boat sections.. Daaaaaammmmnnnn..

Please happen!

[MetroidFREAK21]

May have to add this to my collection when I get Call of Duty and Halo...

[BitbyDeath]

More importantly they mention it may have an upgrade option.

[imXify]

I'll replay the whole story but in first person mode hell yeah!

[masa2009]

Then they'll have to change their already cumbersome running controls, because they simple won't work with an FPS scheme.

[Agent_hitman]

"A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more
A brand new first person mode while on foot" - Rockstar

Yes!, finally a different kind of FPS with a sandbox element.

[arbitor365]

i hope this isnt just the PC version.

on a side note rachet and clank 2, on the PS2, had a first person mode, which alot of people dont even know about. the transition from TPS to FPS is possible

[francisjairam16]

Hope this is true.

[MuhammadJA]

I can play GTAV in FPV? Yes, please!

[endzeitkind]

awesome. this is what ive asked rockstar games about 3 month ago.

[steve30x]

[MilkMan]

ZZZzzzzz.

[eaceo]

wow, if this is true, this is really awesome. More games should give players this option

[ibrake4naps]

I'll get it if it works with project morpheus!
