GTA V: 11 More Things You Didn't Know

11. The New FPS Perspective Is Highly Customizable

We've already told you about first and third-person hybridization, allowing you to meticulously customize which perspective governs which state of play. Taking cover can automatically snap you to third-person, a la Rainbow Six -- or maybe you only want to drive in first, running and gunning in third-person. Any and all combinations are yours for the contextual tinkering, but the potential for personalization runs even deeper. Unless you turn it off, a shallow-focus effect will manipulate your visible depth of field when you aim at a target -- its potency fully tweakable on a gradient scale. The easily queasy can modify settings so they only enter third-person in a ragdoll wipeout. Hell, even your field of view can be manipulated, narrowing or widening your peripheral vision. Rockstar is bringing a PC degree of customization to consoles, a high bar to set before the true PC version drops this January.
