GTA Online goes retro

Before the series went polygonal with Grand Theft Auto III, the earlier games featured a top-down camera for all of its open-world crime action. Now, that perspective is returning for one of the modes in GTA V’s online mode.

GTA: Online’s Tiny Racers update brings a top-down camera point-of-view to the the stunt races in this connected multiplayer world. Tiny Racers goes live in the game April 25, and by giving you the throwback camera option, developer Rockstar Games is clearly going for retry-style action similar to something like Micro Machines, Monaco GP, or Super Off-Road.
