Wow it really does look incredible. 1080p 30fps on both consoles as well so R* have done a great job. Not sure about the first person mode though that's not how you play GTA! Does the PS4 get any extras? Think I will get it on there.
As good as those look visually, first person just isn't GTA.
First person is optional thankfully
The new wildlife has me really excited. New breed of shark(s), Orcas and Whales!!
It's just an option, you don't have to use it.
They also said that you can tailor how you view the game - you can toggle 1st person on and off via the touchpad anytime, or you can set it so it switches to 3rd person when you go into cover, or enter a firefight, or enter a vehicle...basically any way you like.
You can also adjust the controls to a more traditional FPV layout - so no more hammering the X button to run!!! That in itself is worth the upgrade!!!

They explain all the work that went into making it 1st person - it's not just a lower camera view with your gun in the middle of the screen. All the animations had to be reworked. If you look down you can see you feet - so its sounds as though it has been done very well.
It adds something new to the experience though, I'd much rather Rockstar add stuff like that than just update the visuals.
Seeing as GTA's routes were from top down view it's another step forward. I myself won't use it much but its an option. More options can't be a bad thing
I'm sure it's done brilliantly - I did say it looks good, it's just not GTA for me.
Some games just are third person.
Fair enough, each to their own.
There was sharks in the original? Didn't know that, I didn't do anything water-related.
Shit, was going to pass on this one but even though it's nothing innovative, the first person mode seems to be great fun. Question is will there be enough chances / additions to what we've seen in X360/PS3 for it to be worth it?
Maybe Christmas from the Old Lady. Definitely want the new Pokemon first and foremost and she's been asking for ideas.
I think having a much smoother and significantly better looking GTA V to boot up on the PS4/Xbox One is worth it alone. The loading times on the 360 version for one are hideous.
It's also one of those games you can just load up and have a bit of fun on. The added features are a bonus.
Hmmm I dunno I think it would be difficult to do properly in first person. Maybe a bit of a novelty/good in certain situations but can imagine it controlling like crap a lot of the time.
First person. I'm sold. Though I'll probably switch back to third person after a couple of hours.
That looks exceptional. Will pick it up in December.
They've clearly put so much thought into all of this.It's going to be great.
I might buy a PS4 just for this.
Pre-Ordered it tonight via Game. $1m free online cash when you get it from there. Well worth it!
First person view could be dangerous for some of Trevors scenes. 
How and why would it control bad mate?
Why the feck would anyone object to an optional first person mode? Surely the addition is worth a try?
Apart from Trevor, the game is pretty dull overall. Any addition is worth looking at in my book. Rockstar aren't great at game mechanics, admittedly, but a first person view should suck you into the game better.

I think the $1m is split between online and offline...which is a shame!!
I guess it depends how well they have done it really. Have they made a really good first person mode or was it just tacked on as a bit of a bonus? I just have a vision of GTA V combined with Skyrim in my head. I think in a lot of occasions for me anyway you needed to see what was going on around you in GTA games. Only a guess/opinion though I could be totally wrong. Still think it's a nice feature just don't think I'll be playing a lot in that mode.
I personally think that there is nothing that looks even slightly 'tacked on' about the FP mode - both from how it looks and what is said in the videos (and I know they are marketing / pr, but still). Things like being able to switch on the fly, tailor the view used between different modes, changing the control scheme to a more traditional FPS configuration all suggest that this has been done the right way.
Proof is in the pudding of course, but super excited to play this in a couple of weeks.
Those stills look extra-ordinary but the trailer I've seen looked a bit meh graphics wise.
I am so wet for first person mode.
This FPS shit looks incredible. I was on the fence about replaying this - but that's won me over.

365Games are probably the best for crazy discounts on new games and they deliver pretty fast.

It seems to be a game changer for a lot of people I know. I honestly think it's going to add a new dimension to the game, especially when you think of the cover system blended in with it. The guns and weapons also look deliciously detailed up close.
I feel the decision to buy it again is completely justified now. The FPS mode looks unreal.
What's more is I traded in Watchdogs and Fifa 14 for the credit value to pay for it so really I've just won.

As usual those will be the extra-high spec pc screens.
It should be decent of course, but nothing too groundbreaking.
