PS4 , Xbox One - 11/18
PC - 1/27

Up to 30 players for online games now.

Doesn't Target and Best Buy usually run their B2G1 in November? This game would make a perfect filler.

This is the first time I'll say this....but I can't wait to pay $59.99 for the same game twice.

Info from the PlayStation Blog, therefor unnecessarily PlayStation-specific in the details:

Grand Theft Auto V Release Date, Pre-Order Details for PS4
+ Posted by R*Q on Sep 12, 2014 //



We are proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V will arrive on the PlayStation 4 on November 18, 2014.

Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4 will feature a range of major visual and technical upgrades to make Los Santos and Blaine County more immersive than ever. In addition to increased draw distances and higher resolution, players can expect a range of additions and improvements including:

New weapons, vehicles and activities
Additional wildlife
Denser traffic
New foliage system
Enhanced damage and weather effects, and much more



Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4 will also feature enhanced radio selections with over 100 additional new songs and new DJ mixes from returning DJs across the game’s 17 radio stations.

All players who pre-order the game will get $1,000,000 in-game bonus cash to spend across Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA$500K each for your Story Mode and for your GTA Online in-game bank accounts).

A host of new, exclusive content also awaits for players returning from the PlayStation 3 include rare versions of classic vehicles to collect from across the Grand Theft Auto series such as the Dukes, the Dodo Seaplane and a faster, more maneuverable Blimp; activities including wildlife photography and new shooting range challenges, new weapons and more.



Enhancements to Grand Theft Auto Online include an increased player count, with online play now for up to 30 players on PS4. All existing gameplay upgrades and Rockstar-created content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online will also be available for the PlayStation 4 with much more to come.

Existing players will be able to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to PlayStation 4.

Sat this out last year in anticipation of a possible PS4 version. Looking forward to it.

Had no idea the PS4 was getting exclusive content. Interesting.

Feel bad for the master race. (not really)

I wonder if you can cross-platform your last-gen save like you could with Diablo III

I think Destiny might work that way too. Seems like your character is all server-side.

Isn't GTA the one where you could transfer saves across platform families? The original "dagger"? Seems like it would be a one-time deal.

That would be so awesome.

Yes. That is the original .

Your multiplayer GTA V character is portable to any system, regardless of where you created it.

edit: to be clear, your SINGLE PLAYER saves cannot be transferred, as far as I've seen.

Yeah, the original dagger was cross platform saves but it was later clarified to only be your online save. Still neat and makes sense since that data is saved on their servers, but it would be neat if single player could carry over.

And man, I really eat crow on the next gen upgrade not being anything special. It looks awesome.

It really does. I should dump my 360 copy, since I'll most likely buy this.

I think you're referring to this:

The official Rockstar press release lists this content for both consoles and that Playstation blog obviously omits all the Xbox references. It is actually content exclusive to legacy players who purchase the next-gen version and migrate their saves. This will be available for 360 owners who buy the Xbone version too.

Yeah, just look at that dog!

I'm more impressed by that foliage on the side of the road.

Im buying a PS4 or Xbone just for this. I cant wait.

I'll be getting this, too. I had so much fun with the 360 version, it'll be fun to do it all again. The extra stuff is just icing on the cake.

What about DLC? Surprised we haven't seen any yet.

As much as I don't want to re-buy this....I do because of Rockstar's attention to detail....I just hope it's not a graphical update.....GTA V is a weak sauce game when it comes to things to check out around the world...the city area feels dead and uninspired as well as the beach area.

We shall see

I didn't see it above, but GTA Online is getting bumped from 16 to 30 players max. Yay, more tanks!

EDIT: OK Now I saw it.

Doh.

The top is obviously a marked improvement but the bottom looks like it was intentionally downgraded or made to look darker for the differences between the two to look more striking. I just don't recall the game looking as dull as it shows in the bottom one. Well, they did capture the top on a clear day while the bottom is obviously captured with an overcast. Intentional or not? I'm still getting the new version despite having already spent over 400 hours online.

A friend of mine lend me his PS3 copy and now I'm not sure whether to start that or wait for the PS4 version.

Politely return his last gen copy to him and wait for the PS4 version.

Yup. I think I'm going to do that since I'm busy with Diablo to play anything else anyways.

If you play through the initial prelude mission on the last-gen version while connected online you'll get exclusive content in the new current-gen version. You have to have a free Rockstar Social Club account too. I'd definitely do that at least while you have your friend's copy.

I wonder if that will work for people like me who are going from 360 to PS4?
