GTAV: IGN Delivers New Details - First Person Experience Revealed
With exactly two weeks to go until launch, IGN spent some time with the new version of Grand Theft Auto V, including the all-new First Person Mode. 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. For more details about First Person Mode, check out the first of IGN's 3 exclusive feature stories this week. Here's a sampling:
"There’s so much new about this version Grand Theft Auto V, but it’s obvious Rockstar was keen to deliver something above and beyond a technical upgrade – it’s given players an entirely new way of playing the game. From shooters to action games, we’re all used to adopting the first-person, but the way in which this new perspective transforms the GTA 5 experience can’t be understated; it fundamentally alters how you inhabit and interact with this world. It rewrites the experience."
Read the full story here: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/04/grand-theft-auto-v-a-new-perspective
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).

JOHN505553 weeks, 1 day agoReplyFlagGuys,the next gen consoles can't compare to gaming PC's. So imagine how last gen consoles compare. Its a miracle that the game runs on last gen. Listen to everyone else, it just won't work on last gen. The PC version will have better graphics than next gen consoles. Xbox 360 and ps4 are obsolute.- on February 28 2015, 3:01amGUYS READ THIS : IDONT NEED FIRST PERSON VIEW BUT LOOK INSIDE THE CAR LOOK IN THE ZONTORNO OR ANY CAR IN THE STREET AND LOOK INSIDE ,INSIDE OF IT LIKE A f**kIN BAD LOOK THAT I HATE AND I HOPE ROCKSTAR FIX THIS s**t

- on February 14 2015, 12:18amI'd like to see rockstar try to put the new gen on PS3/xbox360. See what happens hahaha.
- on January 20 2015, 12:50amwhat if people cant buy an xbox one or ps4 what about the people that own xbox 360 and ps3 it don't seem fair for the people who cant buy the new systems
- on December 22 2014, 10:44amThis is REALY awesome, I always wanted first person mode in a GTA game! This is why I bought GTA 5 again on the PS4.
- on December 20 2014, 8:36amDo you think rockstar would want to patch the last gen for fp support n all the animals n stuff when the optimization would be so freakin' expensive and pointless with the hardware the last gen has + they make more money this way. Why would they do it!!?? Now stop ---ing bout the graphics and fp just think about it in the companys perspective
i wouldn't do it and no sane man would!- on December 26 2014, 1:09am@matunias yes but think of how many people dont own the ps3 or xbox 360 it would be a hell of a marketing on retailing out the stuck pile n not eating a couple thousand systems not sold or wont sell now thanks to ps4 being on the market if they did do such they could recoup some of their loss on the money they put into creating the ps4 and sell systems sitting in storage i have business degree argue with that
- on December 8 2014, 6:00pmplease rockstar i beg of to please add next gen for 360 and ps3 please i have a huge family that has only 360 and ps3 and we would really apprieciate it if u add next gen for xbox 360 and ps3. Me and my brothers and sisters will play together because some of my cousins live in New Jersey and thats the only way i talk to them daily on my headset and having next gen would be even better for us to play #MyMan
- on December 16 2014, 8:41am@Numeralpanic558 Too bad for you and your 'family'.
Read the post below me if you want to understand why it can't happen for XBox 360/PS3.
- on December 2 2014, 8:44pmAlright guys, before you comment saying "ADD FIRST PERSON MODE TO MY XBOX 360 OR PS3", read this.
The xbox 360 and Playstation 3 run this game at a lower resolution, and at a lower framerate, The lower resolution, simply means that there are less details(for those of you who don't know what resolution really means), when you move the viewpoint to first person, it makes your camera closer to everything, meaning, you'd be closer to the details, making them look really blurry(think of when you zoom in on a low quality photo online on your computer or phone in real life). First person would not only look bad on Playstation 3 and xbox 360, it would also be more taxing on the the old consoles old hardware(Your phone or computer you are reading this on is more powerful than Xbox 360/ps3).
So to sum this up, First person would 1.) Look bad, as the resolution is lower than Next Gen.
2.) It would run at a lower framerate, because your consoles are old
3.) It would be a big update if they did add it, and it would suffer the previous problems I mentioned, not to mention many other bugs it would possibly cause.
If you want first person mode, start saving up for a next gen console/Computer (or do what I am going to do, get both and enjoy the benefits of console and computer).
- on January 1 2015, 8:04pm@XPurpleJuiceman I don't pretend to know how these games integrate with the hardware but as far as first-person goes on the XBox 360...You can use a scope and zoom in without issue and you can look first person-ish while in a car (from front bumper) or just standing on the street when left inactive (from-eye perspective). I'm not saying there is no difference between these things and true first-person because I have no idea...But from a normal user perspective I admit I don't understand what that difference would be.
- on November 30 2014, 10:09amHey I want to ask something.I already have bought GTA 5 for xbox 360.Fro getting 1st person I have to go and buy it again or download an update?Please respond.
- on December 2 2014, 12:56pm@JollyThunder75 he need to make it for xbox 360
- on December 2 2014, 1:05pm@Montrell13 its not coming to xbox 360 or ps3
- on November 24 2014, 2:45amRockstar theres no need to give us animals and all the extra next gen content, at least give us first person. if not in car at least walking around, would be a great and better experience to have at least for last gen. missions/deathmatches etc.
- on March 7 2015, 5:09pm@gunner-mm Vindt ik ook
- on November 22 2014, 1:52amPeople who are getting mad at rockstar for first person being only on next gen are stupid.
think about it and do some research as if the old consoles could handle first person.
The new consoles are in fact 10 times more powerful than the old consoles under the hood of these new consoles they contain features such as an 8-core AMD Jaguar CPU (max 2.7GHz) with an 800MHz AMD Radeon GPU and 8GB of GDDR5 RAM
How in the world would a old console such as a ps3 or xbox360 handle this whist allowing players to play in first person.- on November 25 2014, 6:17pm@SomberV So you're saying the 360 and PS3 CAN'T handle 1st-person, even though they've both had MANY games in 1st-Person perspective including Call of Duty, Far Cry 2 & 3, Battlefield, Medal of Honor, Wolfenstein, Enemy Front, Borderlands 1 & 2, Rage, Fallout, Bioshock, and SO ON?
You. Don't. Know. D!ck. About. What. Comes. Out. Of. Your. Mouth. Clearly.
AND......if they're more powerful, how come they're NOT made with backwards compatibility? :P *drops the mic* - on November 25 2014, 10:13pm@Lupus1996 Those are all fps games, solely fps games. GTA with first person included would be like call of duty running at the same time as red dead redemption. It's too much. Think before you type.
- on November 27 2014, 7:33am@Lupus1996 Are you legit serious? The hardware on last gen systems is outdated and cannot compare to current gen. X1 and PS4 both have 8GB of ram which is much much more than the 512MB of ram.
Stop pretending like you know what you're talking about. Adding first person to last gen wont work because of the game already pushing the limit of the outdated hardware.
Also the games you're comparing to are games that were built around first person. Gta v is a third person that had an extra mode built in. It's not as simple as just placing some camera on your head and suddenly you're good to go.
The fact you act like you know what you're talking about when you don't pisses me off. Next time use your damn head before trying to sound like you know everything. - on December 17 2014, 7:50am@SomberV But farcry 4 has awesome first person and everything just like a ps4 , so there is a possibility for the ps3 to get GTA5 in FPS! Atleast rockstar can release a beta version for ps3 , to which ps3 and xbox360 users can help making it for the last gen! (we arent rich to afford a ps4, as i recently bought ps3 after saving so much and then for a gta 5 , tho it has become so old ) :/
- on November 21 2014, 5:03pmPlessers doe fitst person for the ps3 all me friends have first person en it is so f#cking cool als You Thatcher Will You thx
- on November 21 2014, 3:21pmYou (Rockstar) seriously need to create an update for PS3 and XBOX 360. We all love the first person shooter style (obviously). But buying a new system for the game update would be awful. Some of us can't afford a $300 or $400 system. It's very expensive and frankly some of us don't have the financial capabilities to buy a whole new system. Especially when we have a bunch of games for our current system. I honestluy dont see a point in having two different systems. I just bought the PS3 and switched over from XBOX because on Playstation you can play online for free. That's a small uprgrade, but I was really hoping to see the GTAV Update on PS3. I was super excited. But no. We don't get what we deserve. All of us gamers wanted this update just as much as anybody else. It looks f**king awesome! We really hope you can open your minds and help us out too. But then again, it is all about money, right?
- on November 22 2014, 3:39am@artskater You are absolutely right man
- on November 23 2014, 11:50am@artskater No they shouldn't update it. For all the people that bought the game again for all these exclusive things would be ripped off if they kept updating the ps3 and xbox 360 versions. Plus many of the things simply can't be transferred because the last gen can't handle it.
- on November 25 2014, 6:20pm@jrasmussen13 You know, considering HOW MANY games, (years after they're made), have updates, it WOULDN'T be that hard, (nowhere near impossible in fact), to update a game that is on only 5 systems, (PC included), especially, in case you're blind, this whole industry is based around TECHNOLOGY!
- on November 23 2014, 8:21am@AaronBE123 ja jammer
- on November 23 2014, 8:22am@gunner-mm ja jammer sorry type fout
