first person racing is going to be sick
Take the 30-player ***8220;Sandy Shores Race***8221; out in Blaine County. It was Sanchez dirt bikes only, and the match host had it locked so that everyone had to race from the first-person perspective (the host can also force third-person view, or give players a choice). Through my helmet and goggles ***8211; any vehicle that necessitates a helmet includes its own custom first-person view, with the Buzzard helicopter***8217;s being perhaps the coolest ***8211; I saw two dozen riders in front of me, all kicking up dust into my face as we sped away from the starting line.
It was this looooong 6.85-mile race that really showcased the care Rockstar has put into the additions to GTA Online for the new consoles. The interior of my Cheetah (the GTA version of a Ferrari, for those unaware) was exquisitely detailed. It***8217;s nothing to rival Forza, to be fair, but for a fully open world game where you can go and do anything with 29 other players, the working gauges, textured interiors (the pebbled detail of vinyl dashboards and shiny beauty of carbon fiber do look fantastic here) make for a very convincing and highly desirable first-person experience
