It only took a matter of minutes tinkering to make my lazy helicopter target practice into a captivating (I thought) cinematic film. If IвЂ™d desired I could have sped up or slowed down the footage (from 5 to 200 per cent of the original speed), or applied some of the other filters I browsed including вЂgonzoвЂ™ (presumably named because it resembles the cinematography in Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas), вЂdrunkвЂ™ (self-evident) and a number of noir-esque darkening effects that remove the last shred of evidence that this is, in fact, a video game.

Once a section is made you can choose from a series of preset camera angles which can be zoomed in and out, but free camera is the most powerful tool, allowing you to position the camera wherever you like within a certain range of the action.ДЄfter five minutes of fiddling IвЂ™d turned my violent fracas into a shaky cam video nasty, replete with wobbly VHS filter and 'artistic' handcrafted camera angles. These can be as long or short as you wish. Using the editor is as simple as setting marks on the recorded footage, which determine separate sections in the film. That whole sequence was recorded-all six gruelling minutes of it-and IвЂ™m free to turn it into a cinematic masterpiece. The Rockstar rep takes me back to my embarrassing little standoff at the upper Los Santos crossroads. On my way to the Sydney Rockstar offices last week, I wasnвЂ™t overly excited by the prospect of seeing a better looking version of a game IвЂ™ve played through twice, but when I left the office several hours later, I felt that electric sensation you get when youвЂ™ve seen something truly impressive. The gameвЂ™s been out for nearly 18 months on consoles, and if you want to see all the cool stuff that can happen in Los Santos there are thousands of videos to choose from on YouTube.

Little of what IвЂ™ve written above tells you more than you already know about GTA 5. I want to stay there with my grenade launcher, but I donвЂ™t want the rep to think I am insane. The frame rate holds up very well-perfectly in fact-because, like Sam did for his impressions, IвЂ™m playing on a rig that can handle 4K at 60fps. вЂњIвЂ™m just testing the frame rate,вЂќ I say as six crumpled police cars go up in flames. IвЂ™m still here killing cops and the Rockstar rep is sitting there, in silence, watching me do it. ItвЂ™s really satisfying and funny, but as the minutes crawl past I realise it must be weird. The Rockstar rep tasked with chaperoning me through Los Santos had a heist in mind, but there I am, standing at a crossroads somewhere in upper Los Santos, blowing police helicopters out of the air with a grenade launcher.

YouTube is gonna buckle under the weight of this surge in creativity, and with tools as intuitive and powerful as GTAвЂ™s video editor, a lot of it is going to look really good, too.

The creative element is what makes GTA 5 a truly native PC experience, and imagining what the community will do with this toolset-considering all weвЂ™ve achieved with the likes of Minecraft, GaryвЂ™s Mod, Arma 3 and much more-is staggering.
