First Person Camera Concern

I dont know if it has been mentioned yet, havent seen anything on the matter, but recently i dusted off my copy of GTA V for the 360 and noticed that when u are driving a muscle car that has the option to add an intake bug catcher, the game wont let you use first person ( tested and proven with my Vigero equipped with single intake bug catcher ).

 

Now, for the obvious reason that the bug catcher obstructs the view, and perhaps the bug catcher may cause clipping, im sure first person driving was disabled.

 

Will they allow first person inside car with the bug catchers on the hood? It will still obstruct vision, as in real life, but i doubt clipping will remain an issue, so i cant see a logical reason for disabling it in the updated GTA V release.

 

Thoughts?

Don't think they will disable it for that. The helicopter First Person view cuts out majority of the screen so I don't see this being a problem.

I hope not. I would love to be behind the wheel of the Vigero fully equipped, knowing that my field of vision will be altered lol it will add a challenging aspect to driving the already tricky to handle muscle cars.

 

Edit: really, clipping is the only issue that comes to mind with the current gen's disabled FP camera. I hope its not an issue next gen

hopefully the bug catcher will be animated too, thought it was quite lazy that they couldn't add a simple throttle animation so the one with flaps opens when you press the throttle down.

i'm sure it will be there and if it obstructs your view too much than don't put stupid stuff on your hood :p

Solution.

Don't place the bug catcher on

/problem solved

Dont encourage laziness bro lol. Its an amercian grease monkey thing, and we love that on a muscle car.

 

And i like the point on animating the flaps. If memory serves me right, wasnt the phoenix's animated in the xbox and pc renditions of Vice City? Im pretty sure it was... It would be sweet to see that little detail. Its the small details that show Rockstar's potential for dilligance

dont think he's suggesting that as a solution, just if it still obstructs

Pretty sure on ps2/3 as well, and in Mafia II, I was somewhat sad it wasn't in V.

The reason that it wasn't in GTAV is because Rockstar said they reached their memory limit on animations and they couldn't add anymore. The new version has over 3000 new animations. So it's probably likely that something like this would be animated now.

Pretty sure you couldn't use the hood cam while in a car with a bug catcher because the bug catcher sits in the exact spot that that camera does, meaning if it allowed you to use that view all you'd see is the inside of the bug catcher. First person will have it(educated guess) because the view will be in the cockpit and not right where the bug catcher is. It will obstruct visibility to the front right of the player view though, just as a real life one does.

If this idiot bug catcher is the reason the old hood cam was removed, I'm going to be way pissed.

Although I doubt Rockstar will ever confirm why they removed it.

If it was because of the bug catcher it wouldn't have been there in last gen. They most likely just thought there was no need for a hood cam if there's a cockpit view.

Well, I'll keep up my campaign on the internet until it's re-added. They've really f*cked this game up for those of us who 'discovered' FPview driving years ago when they added the hood cam. Now they've implimented it 'properly' and it's constrictive sh*t.

Sad.
