Rockstar Outlines GTAV Bonuses For Returning Players

Ben-Dutka 6 Comments

If you played Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4 or Xbox 360 but never finished (and always regretted not finishing), we've got some great news.

Rockstar has announced a hefty list of exclusive content that previous owners of GTAV will enjoy when the upgraded installment hits on November 18. We knew returning players would get a few perks, but we didn't know what the bonuses would entail.

Now, we do. They're summarized in list form at GameSpot ; highlights include new events and rewards, new weapons, and new vehicles. There's even a Murder Mystery feature that involves Michael, new species of animals for the Wildlife Photography Challenge, stock car races, and "Monkey Mosaics" (photograph every piece of monkey graffiti).

On top of it all, Rockstar says there will be even more surprises for returning fans. This in addition to the $1 million of in-game currency you'll earn by pre-ordering GTAV for PS4 or Xbox One. Can't wait!

Grand Theft Auto V On PlayStation 4 Fully Embraces 1080p

Ben-Dutka 22 Comments

It's the standard graphical benchmark these days: 1080p.

Thus far in the new generation, the PlayStation 4 has managed to hit that lofty number more often than the Xbox One. Will one of the best games ever continue that trend?

According to UK publication Official PlayStation Magazine (as cited by GameSpot ), Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 will render 1080p HD:

"Glimmering 1080p presentation, hugely increased draw distance, 100 new songs, fresh wild-life, a bumper version of GTA Online, this is sandbox you've dreamt about ever since you slotted Sony's angular baby under your TV.

Farewell 720p. You served your purpose adequately enough. Still, our eyes have been gagging for 1080p's pin-sharp pleasures and the Los Santos sandbox is only too happy to oblige on PS4, running at a native 1920×1080 pixels. "

The author also mentions improved textures "across the entire game," and we're hearing about better draw-distance and enhanced clarity throughout. This should be the definitive version of last year's award-winning production and chances are, it'll be best played on Sony's console. We'll have to see if GTAV can manage 1080p on Xbox One.

Pre-Order Digital Copy Of GTAV PS4, Get $300,000 GTAO Cash

Ben-Dutka 8 Comments

Here's a great incentive for the cash-hungry.

Sony has announced a sweet new pre-order promotion for the PlayStation 4 version of Grand Theft Auto V : If you pre-order the digital version via the PSN, you'll receive $300,000 in bonus virtual currency for Grand Theft Auto Online .

This is in addition to the $1,000,000 currency bonus given to all players who pre-order the anticipated title, regardless of console or format. This means you could snag a whole lot of extra credits if you opted for the digital copy, but bear one thing in mind: In order to qualify for the GTAO cash promotion, you'll have to pre-order before November 3. GTAV hits next-gen consoles on November 18 and it'll land on PC in January 2015.

If you're wondering, there's is no pre-order incentive in place for the Xbox One version of the game. …as if you were actually going to get it for Xbox One. 😉

My Response To A Grand Theft Auto V Delay: Yes, Please

Ben-Dutka 16 Comments

Go right ahead. Make my day.

Everyone is about to freak out because the word is that Grand Theft Auto V won't make it this year. My response is simple: Good.

We can only play so many games and while we've already seen lots of delays this year, there are still plenty of huge titles on the horizon. I mean, just look at games like Destiny , Assassin's Creed: Unity , Assassin's Creed Rogue , Dragon Age: Inquisition and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare . A few of those will offer countless hours of multiplayer entertainment, while others are gigantic open-world adventures that are bound to require many hours to complete.

When they announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt wouldn't release until 2015, I breathed a sigh of relief. A lot of people I know did the same when they heard about Batman: Arkham Knight . I mean, these are massive adventures and if you're a little behind (like most people who have lives), the idea of all these open-world games coming out all at once is quite daunting. I never finished GTAV and I'll definitely want to do so on the PlayStation 4. But I seriously doubt I'll have time this year so by all means, push it into 2015.

I've got zero problem with that. None.

GTAV On Next-Gen Consoles Will Exceed Your Expectations

Ben-Dutka 12 Comments

Grand Theft Auto V is coming to next-gen consoles, and publisher Take-Two Interactive says it's gonna be pretty damn sweet.

During a recent MCV interview , Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that "nothing but the very best will satisfy Rockstar Games" and they intend to really impress gamers:

"They want to blow consumers away. Whatever the expectation is, they want to exceed it. When you see GTA V on next-gen, I want you to tell me whether it is or isn't better than your expectation. I can guarantee it will be better."

GTAV was the best-selling game of 2013 and Take-Two shipped over 34 million copies of the currently available PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Zelnick took the comical approach to this success, saying that there are 7 billion people on earth, which means they "have over 6.9 billion people left to address." And of course, he has no doubts that GTAV on PS4 and Xbox One will sell like hotcakes; after all:

"GTA is the standard bearer in the industry. How can you buy a next-gen console and not want to play GTA on it?"

Boasting better graphics, more densely populated areas and increased draw distances, the upgraded GTAV will undoubtedly be awfully appealing. Zelnick added that they're not trying to offer the minimum acceptable quality and profit by it; rather, they want to "delight consumers and monetize it." Well, call it whatever you want. GTAV is gonna be huge once again.
