Rockstar has also revealed it has introduced an "optional first-person cover system, a new targeting system, a more traditional FPS control scheme, and integrated thousands of new animations into the existing game. Whether its pulling of one of the signature bank heists of the core story or just taking in the sights of Los Santos, the shift in perspective dramatically changes the tone.įirst-person is also to be introduced in the Grand Theft Auto Online half of the game. You'll be able to switch from third- to first-person view at any time, and experience all the shooting, driving, and exploring in the fresh view. What's exciting about Rockstar's overhaul in comparison is that it's shaping up to be one of the few examples that offer a whole new way to experience the original material. Sometimes you'll get all the DLC thrown in, almost as a reward for waiting. Next gen re-releases have historically been hit or miss, and even the better examples usually only offer graphical improvements and mildly refined gameplay.
