50gb jeez that's big.

[MerrickG]

I seriously doubt this is coming two weeks early on PS4. Sony would be advertising the hell out of it. More than likely somebody looked at the preorder bonuses and got confused.

[3DinAK]

Wasn't there exclusives for the PS4?

I thought GTA V was over 400GB before Rockstar compressed it for PS3 & Xbox 360. If so, yeah I can see the game being in the 50's of GB for PS4 for sure.

New vehicles, weapons, Car mods & clothing + all previous GTA Online free added content that was released prior.

I missed some of the free updates on PS3 which were time sensitive like the Valentine's Day Pack so I hope Rockstar comes through.

Bundle is official (for now in Europe, but I would be surprised if there wasn't one in NA too).

Dispo in Black or White version bundles.

This should do a "killing" in sales

I am baffled why they would do a bundle like this for Europe, but not NA.

Keep in mind that there still hasn't been any official PR by Sony, just (apparently) direct info to this French website who also got their hands on "official" graphics.

I could see an "official" announcement tomorrow or next week, as for now the NPD will take precedence (also if end of next week it allowed to give the Far Cry 4 bundle some room to breathe on its own).

PS: It would be very surprising if the PS4 Bundle didn't hit the US as well, as the PS3 GTA 5 bundle was also in the US.

There is already one bundle announced, and now 2 STRONGLY rumored ones ... in Europe (GTA5 is all but official at this point, and the LBP3 one is like the worst kept secret ever).

Far Cry 4 Black & White PS4 (officially announced on 9/26 - releases 11/18/14)


LBP 3 Black PS4 (leaked by Amazon UK, so still a rumor - releases 11/11/14)


GTA V White & Black bundle (leaked by french website, cf above - releases 11/18/14)



My guess is that, unless SCEA is allergic to selling bundles, they have a specific contract with Activision that would prevent them from talking about the bundles (for now) in NA.

If they signed a deal that prevents them from having other bundles in NA until the end of the year, well .. that would be dumb (entirely theoretical).

GTAV on PS4: Glad to hear they've upgraded the graphics. Looks great on PS3, but blurry and pixelated a bit too in 720p. I'm guessing GTAV will be 1080p; sharp and clear with pixels so small they're hardly noticeable.

I'll wait till this is in the $30 range, already owning the PS3 version. Great game though.

Looking forward to the Interior Dash Views of the vehicles and seeing this cool looking world with a lot more clarity in 1080p.

[Mavrick]

GTA V confirmed 1080p on PS4 - (via OPM)

[Zivouhr]

That is good to see. The freeway traffic in the game is great and I like how the cars don't stop on a dime to avoid hitting you. Most traffic I've ever seen in a game was Midnight Club 2 with the traffic setting all the way up. That was like rush hour, but this looks close now. I hope the bike dashes are viewable in FPV.

[MerrickG]

Personally instead of making all the graphic enhancements I would rather them have made it a solid 60fps!

[Zivouhr]

60 frames per second would be nice for even more responsive controls, but since GTAV is going for a more realistic look, I'd be happy with advanced graphics to show what the PS4 can do in 1080p at 30+ frames per second.

The interior dash views are a very nice addition to make the game more immersive for GTAV on PS4.

[growsinwater]

Put in my pre-order today at BB when I went in for the GCU deal, can't wait to play this again

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

Ever since we announced Grand Theft Auto 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:



The Dodo seaplane: It may take a little firepower to get your hands on this highly versatile GTA classic.

New Events & Rewards
Encounter new events happening all across the world, and complete the challenges they present to unlock exclusive new vehicles like the menacing Imponte Duke O’Death and that veritable GTA classic bird of flight, the Dodo seaplane.



The Imponte Duke O'Death: As you might expect, when you first stumble upon this near-indestructible mayhem machine, trouble will follow. Deal with it judiciously and this beauty’s all yours.

Murder Mystery
As Michael, follow a trail of cryptic clues to unravel a grisly murder mystery. Put the clues together and you'll unlock two Noir Style Filters, which will give your Story Mode gameplay and Snapmatic photos the feel of a gritty old school crime classic.



Get to the bottom of a murder mystery that strikes right at the heart of Los Santos' most cherished industry.

Weapons: The Rail Gun & Hatchet
Obliterate your adversaries with the high-powered, high-velocity Rail Gun. This piece of experimental military technology also has its own set of Shooting Range Challenges at your local Ammu-Nation shooting range. Or hack and slash foes up close and personal with the brutal Hatchet melee weapon.



The futuristic new Rail Gun unloads powerful rounds of explosive ammunition upon foes.

Wildlife Photography Challenge
There are new species of animals across Los Santos and Blaine County, and the LS Tourist Board needs someone to document them. As Franklin, catalog unique animal species scattered across the map to unlock the special Kraken Sub.



Completing the Wildlife Photography Challenge will unlock the Kraken Sub.

Stock Car Races
Win a series of new Stock Car Races to earn unique custom Muscle Cars adorned with logos from some of the companies that made this country great.



Finish first in the new Stock Car Races to earn new Muscle Cars.

Monkey Mosaics
A mysterious street artist is tagging walls all across town with his simian-inspired silhouettes. Track down and photograph them all to earn new monkey outfits (available to all players) and a special Go Go Monkey Blista exclusively for returning players.



Take to the skies in the faster and more maneuverable Xero Blimp.

New Vehicles and More
Grind up the Los Santos freeways (and over anybody in your path) with the Cheval Marshall monster truck and take to the skies in a faster and more maneuverable Blimp, compliments of Xero Gas.

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 membership required).



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. 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 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 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'll probably get this after a price drop ($40 sounds right). I never really got into the series but have dabbled a bit in every game. Is the gunplay/control improved over previous games? That's the one thing I couldn't stand about past games. It didn't feel right to me.

It's way better, they worked it to be similar to Max Payne 3.

[i007spectre]

Will be waiting on a price drop.

[Elandyll]

I have to admit that while I generally loathe the GTA series for what it seems to be for me (a slimy Gangsta wanna be sim with rewards for being a low life), what I've seen looks so good it might be hard to resist giving it a try eventually.

The "exclusive rewards for returning players" are a bit puzzling though ... If I were to buy, as a new customer, I'm being punished by not having access to all that stuff?
