Grand Theft Auto V will have a first-person mode on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Rockstar Games announced.
“We’ve always been in interested in it, but it’s never really been an option for us,” animation director Rob Nelson told IGN. “I don’t think we could’ve put it in the [last-gen version] because we were too busy making the game. We were too busy working on our third-person controls and the missions.”
“We were out of memory on the old consoles for animations. We were constantly fighting about what we could have and what we could still push in, and what other areas you could steal memory back from – audio, art, maps – for animation. So we could’ve added all the atoms to make a first-person mode to the level we wanted. We weren’t sure the world would have held up the way we would’ve wanted it to.”
Additionally, a Rockstar confirmed the game will run at 1080p at 30 frames per second on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and up to 4K resolution on PC. There’s also a new Rail Gun weapon, CVG notes.
