Where's Our New-Gen Grand Theft Auto V Review?
Our review of Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 and Xbox One is just beginning, and it won't be complete until we see as much of the new content as we can. Along with a new first-person perspective, these versions offer new stock car races, vehicles, weapons, wildlife, and a murder mystery mission for Michael. Additionally, we want to test the multiplayer servers after the game launches. The review likely won't hit the site until Thursday.
I've logged a few hours into the PlayStation 4 version, and my early takeaway from it can be summed up in one word: Wow! The first-person view point is implemented beautifully, giving players a more intimate look at the little details in the world, and a better perspective for combat. The lighting and draw distance are improved, and thus far, I haven't experienced a graphical hiccup or framerate glitch. It seems like it's running at a smooth 30 frames per second. You can watch my playthrough later in the day on my Twitch stream. Feel free to drop by and ask a few questions.
