you play as a criminal through and through... and killing people rewards you with money.

The controls in that holdup gif look responsive as all get-out. Frame rate looks very good.

Well I know it's in all games on PS4 now (playable from USB storage I believe) but I don't think it'll be officially supported.
What a mature response. Because the game doesn't have a crime in its title alone, because 99% of people who play GTA don't go on reckless driving and murder sprees at some point in the game that isn't tied to any story at all.
And that is?
Honestly though that was a little intense for me. With this and the "brutal machete" talk I don't know if I can stomach first person. Violence and gore just don't seem as exciting as they were in my Thrill Kill days.
stun gun and broken bottle in person person is gonna be glorious crowbar too
I've read a few times about a quick grenade feature, and in the fps trailer Franklin tosses one without switching. Idk if it's for all thrown weapons though or what it's mapped to

I hoped it would be that responsive. I mentioned in a following post that the controls looked very responsive. Looks tight as fuck. Even back to the FP trailer it was clear, especially in the Grove Street shootout, that they did exactly what they said they did; refined and redefined the way the game plays. It looks absolutely phenomenal and I can't believe how excited I am.
I feared it would be that graphic. That is pretty goddamn vicious.

Saw this live and... this right here... made me feel weird about GTA for the first time in my life.

But paying hookers and running them over to get your money back didn't?

It's certainly grim.
But saying that, perhaps if you feel weird about it then it's actually doing what it's supposed to do and making you question your actions.
Or something deep and evocative like that not typed up at 3.36am with a cold.

So Rockstars have completely remade the interior of every vechicle up to today's standards including gun models and hands.

If we import our online character do the online trophies we earned unlock automatically?

And cup holders and functioning speedometers and tachometers and radios that display the radio station and song playing and dolphins.

I killed more scientists than Pol Pot.
Could you not shoot people in the game before? Why does first person mode make it different?
But so was The Last of Us, and we had censored gore in the online.

Can't wait to play as Michael again, Ned Luke is brilliant
Shitty polemics on shitty medias are shitty.

It's nothing new though, you have been able to do this in these types of games for years, latest being Watch Dogs.
Thank you based 80's.
I never did that in the game so no, that never bothered me.

This is the first time I've really considered how much of a gamechanger 1st person view in GTA actually could be. For some reason watching that GIF garnered a completely different emotional response than what doing it in 3rd person would.
I can potentianlly see there being an issue will be with first person view now, things being more directly in your face, highly detailed HD, and more importantly, you cant see your avatar, so its now you are the person shooting, and not necasarily playing as a third person character. Anyways, just my 2 cents.
Yeah, 1st person definitely makes this a different kind of game. It feels like Postal now to me.
I agree wholeheartedly. Not a bad thing I guess, I'm still buying it but I never felt like this over GTA before.

Yeah, I don't get this either. It's the exact same thing from a closer viewpoint and enhanced gore.

Doesn't stop the news networks using this to blame "teh videogames" again for violence. GTA is their news crush and they'd love a new excuse to blame this for all the issues in the world. Making it first person makes it more immersive and therefore more violent.
It'll happen.

Now I know why GTA was never in first-person. That felt much more brutal than any headshots I did in third-person.
My thoughts exactly. Tards like foxnews will run rampant with this because its more "realistic" being in first person.

Then they need to allow me to cover them in gasoline, and light them on fire like in postal 2......wait....gta5 does have a gas can!!!!!!
They don't limp and beg like they do in GTA4 though do they? That would be really interesting to see in first person...
With the improved graphics and clarity, the euphoria physics and animation, and the perspective change this certainly looks a lot more graphic and realistic than anything something like Watch Dogs did. I'm a diehard Rockstar fanboy, and I always appreciated the slightly cartoony worlds and caricatures of their games, but this is slightly off putting. The third person view I guess took me away a little of the extremity of it all. Still a day one game, just coming to a different moment of my life I guess.
I think there's still a fair amount of reception context here though. We're watching a silent GIF, starting right at the brutal point, whereas in-game we would've passed through a satirical environment with new 80's music blasting in order to get there, and both characters in that scene would've said something that would ease the tension and maybe make it more comedic too.
Yeah, I'm with you in that regard. It's the visceral reaction of seeing it in first person that's crazy. Before we didn't see the blood literally leaking out of the person's head. It doesn't make a difference to most of the people in this post but I understand the perspective of a parent's outrage at this game. This is a solid Mature game and does not belong in the hands of minors.
All of us grown folk are fine but I'll admit that was a shock when I saw it. It has more to do with the first person perspective and the nature of this game as whole.
To reiterate:
Keep this game out of the hands of minors.
Parents enable the block on your system that stops children from playing this game if you so choose.
The rest of us will enjoy this game on release date.
*Looks forward to the PS4 preload*

Shooting dude in first person or third person, no difference... First person bj though, truly next-gen.
