I would not be one of them. Never cared for FPS myself, won't even consider playing one, since trying the first or second COD, forever ago. Hated the view, and how it makes it difficult to know what's going on around me.
I'm reading it'll be optional in the new GTAV, and I hope so. Forced FPV would ruin it for me.

You're making it sound like GTA hasn't already attracted them.
Just look at the dumbass YouTube channels that exclusively played CoD games, until GTA. Then, they only played GTA because it's the most popular game out right now. Most popular game = more views. More views = more money.
Rockstar has made idiotic decisions in the past, but they would never do something as stupid as forcing FPV in the game. The only people that are forcing that view are the ones hosting missions and creating them.

With the first-person view, just imagine it:
No HUD on. Radio's on. You and other cars pull up to a car meet.
Will be the single-most amazing feeling moment in GTA.

I've been thinking to myself lately, how will R* make use of the PS4's controller touchpad and speaker?
I hope they do make use of them, maybe have cell phone calls come through the controller speaker?

Duuude, I really hope that we're going to be doing a couple of meets, because that would just be awesome.
And having steering wheel support would also be pretty damn nice.

Police dispatch calls will come through the speaker. Not sure what else will play through it.
As for the light on the controller, they will change color for the current character you're playing as in singleplayer. Blue for Michael, green for Franklin, orange for Trevor. When you have a wanted level, the light will flash between blue and red.

Actually happening. Was reported by IGN.

I'm going to guess the touchpad could be for the weapon wheel.

The touchpad is used for switching between first and third person view according to IGN.

Go for PS4.
I gave up on Microsoft and X-Box earlier this year. Had two accounts for myself and two for my kids. Microsoft change their security settings too often, and seem to try and charge money for every little thing that they can.
The security changes required me to create ANOTHER two email addresses just for confirmation purposes, but THEN asked for a mobile contact number for each email for further confirmation. SERIOUSLY??
...and you also have to sometimes wait for up to 64 days to transfer an account from one system to another.
I just wanted to play a bloody game!
I don't use the XBox to run my company finances and payroll system. It's supposed to be a home games/entertainment console.
As far as the gameplay and what the next gen consoles are both capable of, which they both seem to be fairly level peggings at the moment, I would go for Sony every time. The specs for both next gen consoles are great, and the graphics and fluid movements look amazing, but at the end of the day having owned both consoles for many years, PS3/PS4 is easier to use, less hassle to update and log in to internet services and online gaming. 👍
Yes, I also love Forza, and agree that it's latest version currently has more appeal and is much more fun than GT6, and this is the only reason I have kept my Xbox. Everything else I buy is for PS3.

From R*
- Access GTA Online's interaction menu by holding the DualShock 4's touch-pad
- Phone calls and police radio sounds will emit from the DualShock 4's speaker
- Swipe the touch-pad up or down to change weapons
- Swipe the touch-pad left or right to change the radio station
- The DualShock 4 light bar will flash red and blue when you have a Wanted level

Many thanks for this. 👍
Slightly on the PS4's side now... it also helps my parents want me to get a PS4 rather than an XB1 due to buying me my Sony headset for my PS3 just last year.
EDIT: I take it by the people liking this post they'd actually be glad for me to come on PS4?

I'm going to play devil's advocate and recommend the XB1. Microsoft are bringing out some brilliant exclusives right now, FH2 is probably the best driving game I've ever played, and FM5 is a damn good track racer too. I've heard nothing but good things about Sunset Overdrive, and who doesn't like the idea of all the Halo games in HD? Despite all the criticisms it receives, I also love the Kinect, it feels truly 'next-gen' and getting plenty of new features every month is great. I've also never had any of the issues described by @Jay., and from what I've heard XBL on the One seems much more stable than PSN on the PS4.
