Rockstar Games revealed on Tuesday that the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V will break away from the traditional third-person mode and add a first-person viewpoint. Gamers will have a dedicated button that allows them to switch between the two modes. Grand Theft Auto Online will also receive the first-person treatment.
“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,” the company’s news post revealed.
Rockstar Games also indicated that players with compatible PCs will have access to a 4K resolution, whereas the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gamers will be locked at a 1080p resolution and 30 fps. There will also be “hundreds of additions and enhancements” that will be exclusive to those specific three platforms.
Unfortunately, the PC version won’t ship with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 copies. The game will arrive on the two consoles on November 18, followed by the Windows PC version on January 27, 2015. All three will include a new foliage system, new weapons, new vehicles, denser traffic and wildlife and more. The radio will even have 17 radio stations with more than 100 new songs and DJ mixes.
