It seems that one smart gamer out there has got more entertainment value from GTA4 then Rockstar had originally intended... By modding the game to create a first person shooter style game. Video footage of the modded game in action has appeared on YouTube and it looks very impressive. Suffice to say someone has gone to a lot of time and effort to create this mod.
It certainly makes for an interesting viewpoint and allows us a much more 'up close and personal' perspective on the city and the gameplay. You can clearly see the detail on people's faces as the player runs passed them and even details on newspapers on a nearby newspaper stand are visible. Shoot outs work well in the first person mode and appear to work just as well as any professionally made FPS. Driving looks like it could be more difficult, however seeing the realtime damage to the car windscreen and having it impair the driving view would be a fun challenge to navigate.
Is this something Rockstar should consider for a future GTA game or for download content? Watch the video here and decide for yourself. A word of caution though; GTA4 is an 18 rated game and this video may not be suitable for younger viewers.
