That's the sound of the rumour mill grinding, as some GTA V current gen details leak online...
Although now removed from Rockstar's support website, including the cached copy, which is now also gone, it appears that some juicy details about the current gen GTA V have been leaked via a support post.
The details, which you can find below, include some expected changes, such as new animals, animals in GTA Online, tweaked UI, and some extra story content, but by far the most intriguing is the possible addition of a first person mode.
This mode, if it's true, will apparently add first person views to both vehicle and on foot, with the vehicular view even featuring working dashboards, with speedometers and lights. This view will be available in both story and online modes.
The PC version is also gong to get an advanced video editing tool, which should be very popular with Machinima-makers and YouTubers.
From the Google Cache version before it was taken down:
Grand Theft Auto Vwill take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to deliver a stunning new level of detail. Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic reimagining of Southern California.
All new content and gameplay created since the launch ofGrand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PlayStation 4 system, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC.
Grand Theft Auto Vfor PC will also feature a video editor designed for advanced movie-making.
In addition to the above features, you'll see:
• A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more
• A brand new first person mode while on foot
• A wealth of new easter eggs and random events for Story Mode
• New animals roaming Los Santos
• Animals in GTA Online?
• Players that transfer characters from Xbox 360 or PS3 will receive free new weapons and a free garage in GTA Online.
• Newly overhauled character selection screen
Of course, as this information has been taken down, you can read into this what you will. Was it taken down as it was false, or is Rockstar trying to keep new, yet to be officially announced features secret? We await official news from Rockstar.
Grand Theft Auto V will be released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 18, with the PC version following on January 27, 2015.
