In retrospective, I really do think the first-person implant is as brave and innovative as the third-person 3D spectacle we adored, that is GTA 3. They've taken another step forward in making GTA an even more personal and immersive world. This is a big deal.
I still love the third-person camera, especially when driving, but it is brilliant that they have managed to overhaul the game, and get the fidelity to a point where a first-person view actually works well.
The next step is probably Project Morpheus, and that's one of the factors in the creation of this mode, i reckon. We'll see, but i do hope the VR headset finally kicks off this generation.
