Hey guys. What do you guys think about the game? Anything wrong with it? Anything good about it? I personally love the game. Loved the story, and love the fact that it's back in Los Santos. I love everything about it. Also, if you need a crew for the upcoming Online part of it, go ahead and leave your Social Club username down in the comments, and I can get you in.

it sounds really nasty and there's no reason for it to be in there. Looks like it's just there to grab headlines, easy advertising.

When are people going to treat violence and sex in video games the same as they do Hollywood movies? There is no difference. It's all fictional and for the purpose of entertainment, yet you'd be hard-pressed to find "School shooting caused by violent movie" make the headlines. Maybe one day the world will grow up.		2013-09-22 19:59:00

Not true unfortunately. The player is the one doing these actions and has to do so in order for the game to progress any further. Quite a few articles regarding it at the moment, it sounds really nasty and there's no reason for it to be in there. Looks like it's just there to grab headlines, easy advertising.

Let me guess... you read the Daily Mail?

To those who have no knowledge of this wonderful newspaper, let me give you an example - some guy queues up to buy GTA V at midnight from a store. On his way home he gets attacked, and his possessions stolen. Of course, because he bought a copy of GTA V, obviously this game must be the reason for this violent attack. But of course, if I stay up late to queue for the latest crappy iPhone and get mugged on the way home.... the iPhone is never blamed is it? It's typical bullplop media scapegoating that Pi?wasser's me right off.		2013-09-22 20:40:00

I've never read that paper, no, and I don't intend to. I'm not blaming GTA V for anything, I simply do not approve of this torture scene being in the game, do you? I'm not saying the game in its entirety is evil or that it should be banned. I just think it's important people should be able to take a step back and discuss this particular scene and why it's in the game as it steps past a line that games haven't done so before. Discussing it maturely, constructively and respectfully is something we should all be able to do.

I'm sure it's a fun game and very entertaining but that doesn't mean it's perfect and everything in it is right.

I disagree, there is a difference. For one, films are passive, where as the scenes in this game are interactive. It's fiction but the scenes where you put your victim through as much physical pain as possible in real life do actually happen in the real world. Either way I can't see why people are so against this subject being discussed, it's really not something that should just be ignored just because it's a difficult subject, that's dangerous. You may not agree with my opinion and that's fair enough, but let's not just immediately dismiss it without a proper conversation.		2013-09-22 22:00:00

But what makes it being in a game different from being in a movie?

Yes, it's messed up, but these things happen in our world. Why try to censor reality and shield us from what really happens in the world? There is no point in side-stepping part of a story just to protect those from something they knew they were buying in the first place. There is sufficient warning for the kind of stuff that can be expected in the game, those who buy it do so through their own choice.		2013-09-22 22:09:00

I agree with you. The Metal Gear Solid games have had torture in them for years and I've never had a problem with them because the scenes are very important to the story and the scenes are done as tastefully as it is possible for them to be done.

The difference here is that the player is the one that is doing the torturing, and this is actively encouraged throughout, with even a trophy being awarded if you use every type of method. And from all the articles I have read in reviews, the scene adds nothing to the game, it's soulless and from the sound of it is simply put in as a PR stunt to gain additional headlines. Another question is, is it really entertainment?		2013-09-22 22:24:00

On a different note, remember how they said you can drive trains? I was supper excited for that. I imagined crashing trains head on and derailments, but wait. You only drive a train once in the one mission where you're supposed to. That's it. Outside of that one mission the only thing you can do to a train is kill the conductor.. not that that does much. :/2013-09-23 06:04:00

I guess there isn't much of a point to derailing a train except for doing it for the hell of it.

Think about the problems it could raise. How long would the train stay derailed, possibly blocking the traffic? If they simulated the physics of such a monumental crash, it could create a lot of bugs, besides being difficult to program. But using preset animations for the crash wouldn't be practical, since there are so many variables to account for, like differences in terrain, speed and surrounding objects.

So I guess they just had other priorities.

Can anyone give me a few tips on how to play tennis? I know there are four different ways of hitting the ball, but I have no idea in which situations I should use them.		2013-09-23 10:29:00

I get what you're saying (for the record, I've not witnessed said scene, but I'll just talk about torture scenes in general). What's important to remember is that this IS only a game (obvious point, but still relevant). For a long time, games have rewarded us for doing rather heinous things. Manhunt for example, Read Dead Redemption had a trophy for hog-tying a woman to a train track. Other games involve slaughtering enemies in unique ways, morality-based decisions etc that can have massive implications (eg destroying Megaton in Fallout 3). I thing it's good that games have these moments. We're all violent, primal beings, but the majority of us are good at supressing these urges... but we all have that part of us deep down that makes us want to hurt others.

Another thing is, you mentioned Rockstar may have put this scene in for the PR..... do they really need more PR? This is one of the biggest games of the decade. It was gonna sell shed loads whether the torture scene was in or not.

No real tips. Square, x and O are the main types of shots. They're equally as effective. Tennis isn't particularly difficult in GTA V.... but then this is coming from someone who's played quite a bit of Top Spin 4. 		2013-09-23 10:56:00

Interesting answer if slightly terrifying.
I liked the Fallout 3 one, good thing there was that you were given the choice. I'd like to see games do more of that, the choice to refuse to do the toturing would have been a big positive I think.
As for PR, it's true they don't need it, this was almost guaranteed to break sales records no matter what. But business is business.

Also thanks for talking about it rather than going crazy at me, I appreciate that. I spoke about it in a couple of other places and people can get really aggressive.		2013-09-23 11:42:00

I think part of it is to do with getting into the mindset of the character you're actually playing. For example, when I play as Trevor I can't help but act like an a*hole. Shouting abuse at random civilians in the street, and getting into fights. I'm a bit more level headed with the other 2 characters.

I see what you mean, it does sound like that characters' personality fits into that universe, so there is certainly some logic there.
I'd be interested in what you think of the torture scene (and any other stand out parts that might be a bit shocking) once you've played it and anyone else here just to get a few different perspectives. I appreciate certain articles can be prone to exaggerate things to get extra hits, so a gamers point of view would be nice to balance things out..

But at the same time try to stand back a bit from it and don't be too defensive. I know as gamers we can be a bit over defensive about our hobby, I know I've done it. It's understandable with tabloids and MPs trying to blame every other tradegy on them over the last how many years. It's the laziest news story ever, 'Person XYZ killed due to CoD / GTA fan'.
A balanced view on if the scene is worthwhile and if in the player's opinion it adds anything to the experience or takes away from it. I think that'd be well worth writing.		2013-09-23 12:27:00

I'm reading articles about GTA V and I just read something about people being astonished about the violence in the game since there's a scene where the player (I'll just put it in a spoiler just in case somebody doesn't want to be spoiled about something they do in the game. It doesn't reveal any of the story though.)
pulls somebody's teeth out.It really irritates me when people do this. It's a rated 18+ game. What makes it any different then a movie where they do even worse things and some of those movies are only rated 13+.

When are people going to treat violence and sex in video games the same as they do Hollywood movies? There is no difference. It's all fictional and for the purpose of entertainment, yet you'd be hard-pressed to find "School shooting caused by violent movie" make the headlines. Maybe one day the world will grow up.

Yeah, people completely ignore the facts:
It is rated 18 for a reason. If a higher age could be given it probably would be. Parents should keep kids away from these games. Heck GTA V is the first game in the series I've got since 4 came out before I was 18.
Films are worse, I'm sure I have seen a 15 rated movie with something along the lines of that spoiler.
Other games are worse. Media seem to latch onto GTA because it simply sells more than the even more violent games.

But what makes it being in a game different from being in a movie?

Yes, it's messed up, but these things happen in our world. Why try to censor reality and shield us from what really happens in the world? There is no point in side-stepping part of a story just to protect those from something they knew they were buying in the first place.

I think people make a distinction between violence and sadism generally, to the point of being codified in international laws of warfare. Death is cheap, suffering isn't.

In most mainstream war games for instance torture and rape aren't modeled despite being a real part of conflict, people just skip straight to the genocide.

As time goes on we'll see more interactive torture, rape, animal cruelty, child cruelty, live cannibalism and other acts that aren't so much violent as they are sadistic in mainstream games and the media will become more lax about it.		2013-09-24 05:38:00

I don't remember any GTA game having this much nudity.. it's blowing up the trending pics on the Snapmatic tab of the social club..

I remember the media blowing up about a sex scene in some other game that people thought went to far, and comparing that to this.. I think the media must be adjusting..		2013-09-24 05:42:00

So there's this assassination mission where the only intel you have on your target is that he requests the services of a certain prostitute. You're supposed to lie in wait until he shows up in his car to pick her up, chase him and kill him.

My problem was that I had brought a motorcycle as a vehicle, and had no body armor. The guy has really good aim and is alerted to your presence as soon as you're 5 meters from his car, so I couldn't approach him for long enough to gun him down.

On my third try, I just go a little further down the road where the guy's going to drive through, throw down some C4 and drive back to my waiting spot. I watch him arrive, pick up the poor prostitute, drive over the explosive... and I detonate the C4. I flee the scene on my bike before the police even knows what's up.

The way his car went up in flames was so satisfying.		2013-09-25 01:58:00

Meh, in Fallout 2 you could kill children, nobody cared or made arguments about it, Postal series is another examples of games with ridiculously violent gameplay (to the point where its stupid)...

It might be so that its becoming more graphic, but its also that is showcased on a very popular game, in my own opinion this kind of controversy does great for rockstar since it makes people want to play the game to "see what all the fuss is about", remember the no-russian in CoD MW2?...		2013-09-25 07:34:00

Grotesque violent acts are far from uncommon in digital media today, including video games. My point was more centered around the fact that such portrayals of graphic violence are depicted almost daily in modern cinema, and no one so much as bats an eyelash. Depict similar scenes in a video game, however, and the media feeds off of it like a pack of rabid hyenas. This probably has to do with the fact that in a video game you're "performing" the action (albeit in an incredibly simplified and not-at-all realistic way), but last time I checked, the game is rated M, so anyone who should be playing this game should be old enough to distinguish simulation on a gamepad and reality.		2013-09-25 18:20:00

Ok, I played the torture scene last night.

It was quite uncomfortable indeed, particularly the part with plyers + teeth (anything with teeth makes me queasy). Was it necessary? Well I'd say yes and no. From a story standpoint, did the characters really need to torture that person? That's debatable, but torture is a tricky subject. Morally it's very wrong, but it does (I'm assuming) happen.

Torture scenes have been in movies for a long time - look at "torture porn" films such as Saw and Hostel. Thousands of people will quite happily sit there and watch grotesque things happen to innocent people..... for no reason other than sick pleasure.

The torture scene in GTA isn't particularly gruesome. I'd imagine that they're pretty standard torture techniques used to get information from people.... we've seen them in countless movies and TV shows!
Gaming has broken so many boundaries recently. We'll happily slam a machete into someone's face multiple time so why draw the line at torture? As I've mentioned - this isn't just mindless torture, there is a reason why they're doing it. It's important that games keep pushing boundaries like this. Obviously, nobody wants it to go too far thoug - eg rape.		2013-09-27 10:21:00

heh stealing the tank is hard as HELL, if you are lucky enough one will be close to fort zancudo's rear entrance and you can rush and steal it then run off the highway (then its good luck loosing the cops), easy mode would be, wait to finish game, and use dosh to buy the tank for 3 million bucks online and you get a forever respawning tank on trevors garage (or in whoever char has the airport garage)		2013-10-04 05:17:00

I can't wait to see what missions in GTA Online involve Fort Zancudo.

There is an elevator that I couldn't use while I was in there, but you can just use the steps.2013-10-04 06:31:00

Yeah.. I had bought one of those instead.. it re-spawns for me every time I go to my helipad. :3

Also, it's a great helicopter to use for the harder under the bridges.

Dang, guys. I just got started with the Online!

I was a victim of the character deletion bug for my first character. That was my first two days of online down the drain. I left that character slot blank and used the second one for my current character. My first one still hasn't shown up.

At least the second time I knew what I was doing and didn't get a freaking Prius as my personal vehicle.

It's so annoying when you do the assassination missions and then learn that you could have made a ton of money off of them. I did not know that and didn't invest. Though, not that big of a deal since I probably won't be playing offline very much.		2013-10-10 12:21:00

Yeah, but how do I get a safehouse?

Once you're at rank 5 you'll eventually receive a phone call from somebody (I forget who) telling you that you should buy a garage. After that you will be able to buy properties from the Dynasty8 website or by walking up to the Dynasty8 sign near the property.

EDIT: More info: http://www.ign.com/wikis/gta-5/Properties_(GTA_Online)

EDIT: Okay, I just discovered what I believe to be a glitch.

I was just messing around online when a stranger drove by with a trail of cops, but a Sheriff SUV stayed behind without any cops around. So, I stole it. I drove it to my garage.

http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/ugc/gta5photo/7021/jRmJbyIZzkSXpJX9jE2r8Q/0_0.jpg

I didn't think much about it being allowed in my garage until I noticed something wrong with the vehicle brand icon on the stats box.

http://i40.tinypic.com/24b1ykx.jpg

The make icon is just a filler "img:"

I instantly knew that R* didn't intent this vehicle be allowed in a garage, so I took it to the mod shop to see what/if I could mod it in any way and sure enough:

http://i43.tinypic.com/3blft.jpg

Unfortunately, not a lot can be done to it, but Respray is a strange option to have for a police vehicle. I investigated:

http://i39.tinypic.com/6qg0ea.jpg

Chrome doesn't show the graphics, so:

http://i43.tinypic.com/51bh1y.jpg

The new paint color sort of messes with the hues of the graphic depending on what color you choose. See the greenish color of the 911 on the back panel when it's supposed to be yellow.

Also notice how all of the paint, save chrome, is FREE.

I then looked at the theft protection, and I already had a tracker from my garage. But, I was able to fully insure it for FREE.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2w3xh52.jpg

EDIT: Also, the only thing I can do to the wheels is give it bulletproof tires.		2013-10-10 19:15:00

Okay, I have played this game, completed several side-activities, played through the main-story and scratched the surface of GTA online. In conclusion, I have to say that while I still stand behind Red Dead Redemption being the best Rockstar game ever (also easily in the top 5 games ever made), this is very nearly on the same level. While the parody of modern culture in previous games was more subtle, here it is made blatantly obvious, resulting in the best Grand Theft Auto game to date.

Gameplay of this game is, of course, fantastic. While it isn't a big leap forward in technology, it's far better than that of the previous GTA games. Shooting is fleshed out (play with free aim, people), driving feels quite realistic at best and the amount of things to do is just huge. I spent like forty hours in the single player alone, robbing banks, participating in triathlons, driving around with friends, playing tennis or golf, racing, or simply killing people. It's all fun enough to keep you engaged throughout and in a game with as much content as this, that's what counts. Take note: this is how to make an innovative and fun free-world game without being generic, not by making every single thing you do feel like a boring, generic minigame *cough* Guild Wars 2 *cough*.

The story is fantastic also. If you claim that the main characters aren't likable or relatable, I don't know what sort of fantasy world you live in. Feel free to send an invitation. The three main characters feel real and even though they aren't exactly purely good, none of them are truly evil in any way. Michael is depressed and bored at live, Trevor is mentally (very) unstable and Franklin is just trying to survive, even if that means having to occasionally kill tens of people. The characters, bounce of each other greatly as well. Every cutscene or mission with at least two of them are the best parts of the game and also some of the best parts in any games ever made.

The game looks modern, but doesn't exactly break any boundaries visually. There's also surprisingly little gore. While I am not saying that people should basically swim in blood, a little more blood would've not been bad. Audio-wise this is the best GTA game so far. The music, whether it's from radio-stations or in-game, is downright fantastic. There aren't any moments created by the music that are "the best in video-games so far," like the musical moments in Red Dead Redemption, but the moments created by the music are all fantastic in their own right, from drug-induced hallucinations to shootouts in dark places.

While the online isn't exactly complete, I can't say it adds too much to the game, but I for one will be playing this game a lot in days to come, online and offline. Also, people claiming that the torture-scenes are unnecessary or that they aren't social commentary are apparently having difficulties in listening to the dialogue in the game. I quote Trevor on the torture scene:

"Torture happens because people enjoy it! It's useless as the means of getting information."

Saying that the game doesn't take a side in the subject is pure ignorance. Yes, there was more to that dialogue, but that's all I can pick from my current memory.

In conclusion, this is easily the best game of the year so far and as a game by Rockstar, it doesn't disappoint. My rating on the game is simple but it deserves it entirely:

I've not even completed the main story yet and I've had it since launch.

Managed to play a heck of a lot in the first week because I booked some time off. But having a full time job, football at weekends, plus trying to play other games too (I can't solely devote my time to 1 game), plus I watch quite a few TV shows.... it's difficult to find the time to play an open world game such as GTA. 		2013-11-13 15:09:00

I've had a blast playing gta5 with some of my friends from school. It was me and another friend out at the train tracks, I was driving a cop car and my friend yelled "TRAIN" and I was like "where?!?" My camera wasn't fast enough to turn around so the train smashed me and my car flipped 5 times in the air and it exploded when it landed. XD
Another funny moment when me and my friend stole a helicopter and we saw this blue Lamborghini that was owned to some player. I said "what if we stole his car and sell it?" so my friend went back and killed him and took his car. He was kicked out of the car for some reason and the car just vaporized in front of me. Then someone blew up my car and put mercenaries on me. My plan is that my friend and I could go do that survival challenge that is far away. While I was driving, my friend told me that there is a helicopter behind us and a cop car. Both were just the players we've messed with. The person who was driving a helicopter tried to kamikaze us. Luckily we were close to the survival challenge and the people who were driving the helicopter and cop car collided into each other and exploded.
That day was hilarious.		2014-01-16 02:35:00

http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1391814603_11-02.jpgThe Valentine’s Day Massacre Special, the latest free update to GTA Online that’s coming this Friday features a variety of fun Valentine's themed extras for Story Mode and GTA Online.

NEW WEAPON: GUSENBERG SWEEPER
Nothing says “I love you” quite like the warm wooden grip and cold steel barrel of a Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun. Get it from any Ammu-Nation location in GTA Online (in Story Mode, the Sweeper is automatically deposited into each character's weapon inventory with two full clips and additional ammo can be purchased at Ammu-Nation).

NEW VEHICLE: ALBANY ROOSEVELT
Paint the town red in the classically-inspired Albany Roosevelt. This armored 1920s limousine is perfect for gangsters and their molls. To properly run amok with the new Roosevelt, get in the driver’s seat and let your friends or Crewmates hang off the side, firing and taking out your rivals as you pass them by. The Roosevelt can be accessed from any garage property in Story Mode and is available in GTA Online from the legendarymotorsport.net in-game website.

NEW ATTIRE
Dress to the nines in a host of new double breasted suits and 1920s flapper dresses, or bare it all in sexy undergarments while going incognito with a selection of new masquerade masks. There are also new novelty t-shirts, hats and more available in stores throughout Los Santos, plus a new Flapper Bob hairstyle exclusively for the ladies.

10 NEW JOBS
The Valentine’s Day Massacre also includes 10 new Jobs scattered like the remnants of a broken heart throughout the world of GTA Online, including Deathmatches, a new Parachute Jump and new land, sea and cycling Races.

Everything in the Valentine’s Day Massacre Special will be available for a limited time starting this Friday, but once acquired you will be able to keep them in your inventory for good. We will also have more information soon for other forthcoming GTA Online content updates including the Dangerous Business Pack, Online Heists, an expansion to the Creator tool and lots more.

Enjoy the perks of rising through the ranks of your Los Santos and Blaine County business ventures withThe Business Update, coming next week on Tuesday March 4th to PSN and Xbox Live. Thrill-seekers and weekend warriors can hop in any of three all-new, blazing fast sports cars: the Albany Alpha, Dinka Jesterand Grotti Turismo R... or take to the skies in the new Vestra airplane.


http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1393357379.jpg
Take to the skies in the luxurious Vestra.

Swing by Ammu-Nation to pick up two new weapons, the Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine, which both offer some serious firepower.

Dress for success with formal and business casual attire options like new suit jackets, slacks, glasses, heels and blouses, or don new all-business hairstyles and currency themed tattoos. There's also a collection of new masks, perfect for disguising yourself during the next hostile takeover.

The Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine, two new weapons available as part of The Business Update.

Just like the recent Valentine's Day Massacre Special (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52188/GTA-Online-Valentine-s-Day-Massacre-Special-Is-Now-Available), the new vehicles and weapons will be available in both Story Mode and Online. In Story Mode, weapons will be deposited into all three characters' inventory with two full ammo-clips and all three cars are accessible from their garage properties. In GTA Online, you'll be able to purchase the new weapons and their attachments at any Ammu-Nation location while the vehicles will be available for purchase from Legendary Motorsport and Elitas.


http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1393357486.jpg

Don't forget that this weekend is your last chance to grab the Albany Roosevelt limousine, the Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun and all the rest of the exclusive items from the Valentine's Day Massacre Special before they're gone. Once you purchase them in-game, they're yours to keep - but they will no longer be available to purchase after midnight PST this Sunday, March 2nd.

And stay tuned for details about our upcoming Business Update Event Weekend as well as more info to be revealed on future updates including Online Heists, the Capture Creator update, new Assassination and Flight School missions for Story Mode and much more...

In MP you have to buy it in order to keep it. In SP, I believe it's yours forever. Also, it should be the last vehicle on the list. (as it was the last one added)		2014-03-02 18:19:00

Also, it seems we can now store the Vapid Speedo, Bravado Rumpo and Declasse Burrito vans online (Not sure if it also counts for the Newsvan.)
Now I'll keep my fingers crossed for a storable police cruiser.		2014-03-09 00:04:00

Yeah, I had a legit Newsvan in my garage a while back that I had used a glitch to give it custom rims and a respray, but they took it out for no good reason. Now I don't really want one anymore.		2014-03-09 08:14:00

Yeah, I wondered how you got a golden newsvan. Especially when I couldn't store one the next time I encountered it. Dx
I've been wanting a van for awhile. Found a Youga but it can only carry two people, and I can't give the Paradise a more subtle color.		2014-03-09 20:31:00

I'd play online more if it wasn't such a huge grind. Really, they should have just scattered a load of weapons across the map and made all vehicles spawn regardless of your level.

Even though GTA IV multiplayer nearly always ended up being an airport camp fest, it was much easier to jump in and play.		2014-03-18 16:22:00

No offense to all the people hyped for this, but come on. There really isn't anything game changing except for better crash systems. I'm not buying it until heists get an ACTUAL release date.2014-09-18 02:23:00

Details on Exclusive Content for Returning GTAV Players on PS4, Xbox One and PC

Ever since we announced (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52308/grand-theft-auto-v-release-dates-and-exclusive-content) Grand Theft Auto V (http://rockstargames.com/V) on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, some of you have been asking if there will be anything extra for those PS3 and Xbox 360 players who are planning on picking up the new versions. To reward loyal GTAV fans for coming back to the newer, more detailed version of Los Santos and Blaine County, we've created an array of exclusive items specifically for these players - with each of them connected to activities designed for you to experience the game's massive world in new and exciting ways. Here are some of the new items and activities that will be available for returning players:

There will also be a bounty of content for all players, new and returning, to discover - including a fleet of classic GTA vehicles and a few more surprises we've got planned that you?ll have to discover for yourself come game day. And as previously announced, current GTA Online players on PS3 and Xbox 360 will be able to pick up where they left off, transferring their characters and progression seamlessly to their choice of PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC (Social Club (http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/) membership required).

http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1414503330.jpg (http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/actual_1414503958.jpg)
Few objects are an obstacle for the intimidating Cheval Marshall.
In addition, anyone who pre-orders the game will receive a bonus of GTA$1M ($500k for Story Mode and $500k for use in Grand Theft Auto Online). We?ve also received tons of great questions from excited fans about what's in store for the game. Below are some of the more frequent ones we've gotten that we're able to shed a little light on ? and stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks. Remember, you can always send us your questions at mouthoff@rockstargames.com, or shoot us a tweet at @RockstarGames (http://twitter.com/rockstargames). If you've got feedback about what you'd like to see in GTA Online specifically, don't hesitate to drop our dev team a line at gtaonline@rockstargames.com.
What about the exclusive in-game content I originally received for purchasing the PS3 or Xbox 360 Special Edition or Collectors Edition (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/50061/Announcing-the-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Special-Edition-and) last year? Will I be able to access that content on PS4, Xbox One or PC?
Yes, if you purchased the Special Edition or the Collector?s Edition last year, when you upgrade to one of the new systems, you will automatically have those items unlocked and accessible. Those in-game bonuses (http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/50061/Announcing-the-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Special-Edition-and) include the Stunt Plane Trials, Bonus Outfits and Tattoos, and the Pistol .50, Bullpup Shotgun and melee Hammer all for Story Mode use; as well as the Custom Classic GTA Parent Characters and the high-end Khamelion electric car for GTA Online. Furthermore, if you missed out on your chance to buy a CE or SE the last time around, we will also make all of that content available for all players on PS4, Xbox One and PC to earn and acquire with in-game cash (original SE and CE owners will not have to spend any in-game cash to obtain them, they will automatically be accessible upon upgrade).
Can you only make the GTA Online character progress transfer once?
If I transfer my GTA Online character to the new systems, will I still be able to play with him/her on my PS3 or Xbox 360?
Yes, you will only be able to transfer your character once. After transferring your character to PS4, Xbox One or PC, you can continue playing with him/her on your PS3 or Xbox 360 but the progress you make while playing is not shared to the character you transferred to your new version.
Will PC players also receive the exclusive upgrade content like the Dodo and Dukes?
Yes indeed! The content detailed above will be available to returning players on all three new platforms.
Will any of these updates being made for the new systems be also made available for the previous generation of consoles?
The vastly enhanced graphics and many other gameplay updates on the new versions of Grand Theft Auto V are really only made possible by virtue of the powerful new hardware of the new consoles and PC. Some of the other updates such as the upgrade content detailed above are being designed exclusively as a reward for returning players so those will not be released on the previous versions; however do stay tuned for more updates to be made available for Grand Theft Auto Online across all platforms and we?ll have more information on that soon.
Will my created Jobs transfer over to the new systems?
Yes, any Jobs you?ve published in GTA Online using the Creator tool will transfer over so that you and others can continue playing them on the new platforms. Please be aware however that Leaderboards, Snapmatics, Playlists and bookmarks are unique to the console generation you made them on so those will not carry over. (GTAV photographers should get ready to take all-new high-res Snapmatics!)
Will 30-person GTA Online sessions include competitive modes such as Races and Deathmatches?
Yes, they will! GTA Online on the new systems will support 30 players not just in Free Roam but in competitive modes as well (unless of course the Job you?re playing has been designed to be set to a specifically lower player max). We look forward to seeing what unique matches the community can create for a vastly increased number of players.

We know there?s many other questions players have about the new releases as well so please stay tuned for more information to come in the weeks ahead.

I'm expecting to pick up GTA V for PS4 as a "starter game", together with LBP3 and Infamous Second Sun. From what I see, they really want to make it worthwhile for those purchasing it again.2014-10-29 01:57:00

I'm very much torn on this. I pretty much played the single player to death on PS3. Plus there's other games coming out in November (Far Cry 4, possibly PES 2015, some stupid game where you make levels out of sponge... I forget its name). I already have a bit of a PS4 backlog growing, so it's likely that I'll give this a miss.2014-10-29 11:59:00

I swear, i only just got my PS3! I'm not getting a PS4, it's super pricey and i like my PS3 enough. My PC is a pile of crap that can't run GTAV in the first place, i can't and don't want to get a PS4, why are you doing this Rockstar.		2014-11-05 14:41:00

To enjoy this with friends and my brother during christmas on PS4 or get the PC version and let my 970 pump out the frameratez....it's a tough decision for me. I probably won't be able to resist getting it on PS4.2014-11-05 16:14:00

I like how in every one of those comparisons the PS3 versions are taken late day/at night so the lighting is dull/gloomy and with the environment empty while they take the PS4 pic with nice lighting and put the scene full of action, like they're trying to sell the PS4 version to you lmao2014-11-05 18:07:00

The trailer is taken at the same time on both versions. The gifs are fan made comparisons with other recently released official media.		2014-11-08 09:08:00

That first-person mode really looks gorgeous! That, and all those extras make it one of the few next-gen ports that is actually worth the price. If only I had the money for a ps3, ps4 or GTAV...
