A player recently found a debug command for GTA VR while playing Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. The uploaded video shows the player running around in first-person mode in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The video comes courtesy of @videotech_ via Twitter. In it, the debug menu is implemented and first-person mode becomes active, allowing the player to wander around and even engage in a fistfight in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The mode, which is only available on PC, is in a very rough state as it doesn't work properly in several instances.
The first is when the player enters a vehicle. The camera pulls back to its default third-person position behind the vehicle. Collision also appears to be an issue as looking down results in looking through the player model. When trying to engage in a fistfight with an NPC, no fists actually come up. Despite this, the attacks clearly register. At this stage, it's hard to guess what the intention for this particular mode was. It could have been intended to be a full first-person mode like what was seen in Grand Theft Auto 5. It could have been part of a test for an upcoming VR title. Or, it could have simply been part of testing. Without a statement from Grove Street Games, players and critics alike are left to wonder.
Scrolling through the comments reveals that many think this may be part of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR title from developer Video Games Deluxe. While a few speculated that this would be GTA 6 or even Red Dead Redemption 2 in VR, this latest find lends credibility to the theory that the upcoming title might actually be a VR version of one of the three titles in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
Though, considering how poorly The Definitive Edition has been received, Rockstar might be putting those plans on hold until this current fire is put out. To double down on a rerelease of a past game when the current version is in such a mess would only do further harm to Rockstar's already suffering reputation. At this point, there are many calling for refunds and that the company stop remaking, remastering, and releasing old titles and instead focus on support for Red Dead Online or Grand Theft Auto 6. No matter what Rockstar decides to do, one can be sure that this isn't the last players will hear of something being discovered in The Definitive Edition.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
