One of the more eyebrow-raising Reddit rumors that appears to have gained momentum over the last couple of weeks is that the GTA 6 trailer is actually in-game footage – and not simply in-engine footage – and viewed through the eyes of the protagonist. Playing through whatever the GTA 6 story mode has in store in third-person, and then taking another run at it, say, whenever the game eventually lands on PC (as yet, that's unconfirmed, but it seems all but certain it'll hit desktops at some point down the line) a year or two on would suit me perfectly. 'Don't get me wrong, I suspect GTA 6 will arrive with first-person perspective features present from the outset, in the same way Red Dead Redemption 2 did at launch on PS4 and later on PC'ĭon't get me wrong, I suspect GTA 6 will arrive with first-person perspective features present from the outset, in the same way Red Dead Redemption 2 did at launch on PS4 and later on PC but part of me wants to be made to wait, in the same way I did with GTA 5.

Being able to switch between all three characters – one flying a helicopter, one eventually abseiling down the side of the glass-fronted multi-story FIB headquarters, and the other providing sniper cover from range – in first-person mode was a trip, and made an already amazing mission so much better. In story mode, one particularly memorable mission that illustrated a newer, not necessarily improved but definitely amplified experience, was Three's Company. Viewing all the crime and killing through the eyes of the assailant, for me, gave player agency a whole new meaning whereas driving took on a whole new level of risk versus reward when viewing the world whizzing past from within the interior of a Bravado Banshee or a Pfiser Comet S2 Cabrio sports car.

With the introduction of first-person features in GTA 5, everything was up close and personal, more visceral and, I dunno, more real.
