5 Half-Crazy Things We Want In The New GTA V

1. FPS Mode

Any patron of Rockstar games with an affinity for the first-person perspective has had this wet dream. There's something dark and desperate about the first-person perspective; an edginess that can make our personal relationships to a game-world more intimate. Grand Theft Auto continuously sets the standard for living, breathing cities, but many feel as though they'e unable to properly appreciate their accurate proportions and stunning scope in third-person. We fully appreciate that such an implementation would require entirely redesigned combat mechanics from the first-person point of view, but many modders over the years did a decent underground job of it. Why can't Rockstar do it better? In a dream world, we'd have fluid sprints and slides a la Far Cry 3 with a similar death camera - one that stays locked to your eyes and tumbles dynamically as you flip, roll and fall with style. If all we got was a solid cockpit view while driving - hands on the wheel and the like - we'd be thrilled. None of this bonnet-cam garbage. Watch Dogs' driving is exponentially more fun in the first-person perspective, but GTA V's car physics are more grounded and precise. Put your hands together and you've got a recipe for incredibly immersive car-chases. In case you forgot, PS4 has its own proprietary VR headset "coming soon" too, so even a year or two down the line, a VR update for GTA V could make massive waves. Imagine crashing a plane and bailing at the last second, all in first-person. We've all done it and we'll all do it again, come Fall. Which improvements do you want to see in the GTA V re-release?
