Grand Theft Auto V certainly doesn't have the best shooting mechanics that we've seen in a game, but perhaps a first-person view would make its gunplay more appealing.
If this has been a thought that's crossed your mind more than once, you'll be happy to hear that modder and YouTuber XBLToothPik has crafted a script that allows for some first-person action on the Xbox 360 version of the release. Those that have put hundreds of hours into the sandbox romp will no doubt find the footage a little disorientating, but it definitely provides an interesting perspective, and we dare say it works relatively well. It's interesting to see how a different camera angle can change the feel of a game, but is this something you wouldn't mind trying? Are you a fan of titles like The Elder Scrolls which allow you to explore the environment from the eyes of your character? Stop and stare at the comments section below.

More games should offer the option to play in either 1st or 3rd person like Skyrim. I greatly prefer 3rd but having more options is always nice.
I always prefer 1st person so having the option there would be great!
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
that is soo wrong. gta has always been 3rd person apart from on ps1 when it was top down view. it just doesn't give the same experience.
for first person to work the game would have to be rebuild from scratch
I love the idea of this being an option if done properly. I personally love the dashboard veiw in WatchDogs but its a bit ugly visually.. I'd love to see GTA bring atleast that featute and do it properly as R* did with Midnight Club LA.
I love having the option to switch between 1st and 3rd person. In the Fallout games and Skyrim i almost always stayed in the 1st person as it added into the immersion into the game world. The only time I'd flip out of 1st person in GTA would be while using a vehicle. I definitely think more games should have the option to choose.
@Munkyknuts @Splat the Battlefront reboot better have the option too. Jedi Knight 1&2 let you pick, but Academy is 3rd for using sabers. Gotta let us choose
I have played well over 100 hours in Skyrim and would have to say a good 85% to 90% of the time was in 3rd person.
@Splat I clocked 267hrs on skyrim and I think the only time I wasn't in 1st person was on horse back....I hated the 3rd person view. But that's the good thing about having an option between the two views, it pleases everyone
I preferred top down GTA. That and Scarface rip off.
My god.. that first person drivers view.. I want this now.
I hate nearly every game I've ever played in 1st person, going all the way back to 007 Goldeneye on the N64.
Jedi Knight Academy was an Amazing game!
