Rockstar Games (via IGN) released a new first person mode trailer for "Grand Theft Auto V," which is being re-released for the PS4 and Xbox One later this month. A PC version will be released early in 2015.
This is first true GTA FPS-style experience (there were FPS hacks/mods available for some of the PC versions of other GTA games), and I must say it looks fantastic...like a real world "Skyrim." The updated version of the game, which sold millions of copies last year on the PS3 and Xbox 360, will include a number of new weapons, vehicles and features along with improved visuals. You can check out the rather impressive trailer here:
The basic story of GTA V, according to Wikipedia, is (SPOILERS) former bank robber Michael Townley is living under witness protection with his family in Los Santos, San Andreas, under the alias of Michael De Santa. When Michael discovers his wife Amanda in bed with her tennis coach, he chases the coach to a mansion and destroys it out of anger. The mansion's owner, Mexican drug lord Martin Madrazo, demands compensation, so Michael and his accomplice Franklin Clinton perform a jewelry shop heist to pay their debt. Michael's sole surviving partner in the Ludendorff robbery, Trevor Philips, hears of the jewelry heist and realizes that it was Michael's handiwork. The two reunite after Trevor tracks Michael down in Los Santos.
The personal lives of the protagonists begin to spiral out of control. Michael's family leaves him, and his attempts to make something of himself bring him into conflict with Devin Weston, a self-made billionaire venture capitalist and corporate raider who develops a grudge against him and vows revenge. Franklin rescues his friend Lamar Davis from gangster Harold "Stretch" Joseph, who repeatedly attempts to kill Lamar to prove himself to his brethren. Trevor's reckless efforts to consolidate his control over various black markets in Blaine County see him waging war against the San Andreas chapter of The Lost outlaw motorcycle club, a number of Latin American street gangs, rival meth dealers, government-sponsored mercenaries and Triad kingpin Wei Cheng.
"Grand Theft Auto V" will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 18, 2014, and on PC on January 27, 2015.
