In an interview with IGN, Rob Nelson, the animation director on GTA 5 at Rockstar Games calls the new first person perspective mode in the upcoming ‘Next-Gen’ editions of GTA5 “Intense, in-your-face experience… literally”.
While the first person mode will also be on PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, only PC will get 4K support while PS4 and Xbox One are stuck at 1080P locked at 30fps.
Smog, denser forests, more traffic and pedestrians, new missions, new vehicles and now with a new perspective, the next gen version of GTA5 is almost like a whole new game when compared to the 360 and PS3 editions that where released earlier in the year.
With thousands of new animations for weapons alone as part of the new first person perspective mode, Rockstar are not just moving the game camera in front of the players face. “Upressed” textures along with completely redone recoil, reloading, gun switching, muzzle flash and bullet casing ejection animations all to make the FPS mode feel as polished as any next gen triple A first person shooter.
