What do you guys think if GTA V included this feature? I personally wouldn't find it useful however considering the map's size, it would probably be enjoyable to ride on the highway in cockpit view mode enjoying the environment.

I thought it's about planes having cockpit

Actual cockpit view rather than hood/bonnet view would mean having to increase the detail of car interiors compared to GTA IV. That might be a resource tradeoff they're not willing to make because GTA always has potentially more detail than the hardware can handle and they have to decide what to sacrifice.

True, possibly in the next generation of consoles we will see it.

That would be a cool feature. Would use it a lot.

Nah. The high quality interior is an overhead, of course, but it's not a significant one. Ideally, it'd be nice to load high quality interiors for all vehicles in the scene, to make sure that they are ready if you decide to get into the vehicle, but it's overkill and probably isn't going to be noticeable anyhow. Just load the interior for the vehicle you are getting into as you are getting into it, and problem is solved. With there being only one interior loaded at a time, the overhead becomes insignificant.

I would really enjoy a cockpit view; it adds so much to the immersion in my opinion. I would love to use the right stick to look around my car and see my passengers, mirrors, etc.

[Johacamigames]

I wouldn't mind it to be honest, unless it isn't optional lol

So, dashboard pop in when you get in a car. I'd like to think that wouldn't be noticeable but it would probably glitch a lot.

Midnight Club Los Angeles had a cockpit view.

You are awesome! You think unique.

[Miamivicecity]

I'm happy with the hood view, but like GTA IV with taxis I'd like to see interiors of buses/coaches and limos.

Ideally, it should load during the getting-in animation and switch at the same time the view switches. The view switch will prevent you from noticing the detail of interior switching.

However, if something lags and it doesn't load in time, yes, you'll get a pop-in. A relatively mild one, since you'd have the low detail interior in place. Since I don't think it'd happen often, I think it's acceptable.

Besides it's not like other stuff dosn't get pop-ins.

Leave cockpit views to Forza and Gran Turismo

[Xcommunicated]

I'd like to think an actual first person driving view has a good possibility of happening this time after they cock teased us with IV's second trailer. For those that don't remember:




Plus it'd be really nice to see this view on bikes so you can get a better sense of leaning into curves and turns and just overall more precise driving.

[lzw3]

I wouldn't mind seeing a hood or cockpit view, as long as its optional.

Ahaaa yes! I was upset. I wonder how much power gta v will take out of the Ps3 and xbox..

[DE4TH]

Install the First Person mod

[Vin89]

I would really like that feature although I think it won't happen because of the resource issue. They will keep it like in IV which wasn't a bad solution.
