Grand Theft Auto V maker Rockstar’s not exactly known for making things easy on itself. While other developers settle for simple sandboxes, the world renowned outfit tends to stuff its open worlds full of the teensiest details, allowing you to spend literally months finding everything. Don’t expect the upcoming PlayStation 4 port of its most recent sandbox smash to be simple, then, as the company has revealed all of the extras that will be exclusive to those returning to the next-gen release.
The most obvious among these are new vehicles, such as the matte black Imponte Duke O'Death, which you’ll unlock by completing new dynamic missions around the world. You’ll also nab a couple of extra weapons: the hatchet and the rail gun – the latter of which will come with its own set of Ammu-Nation shooting range challenges.
But that’s the simple stuff. Indeed, a new plot line will see you working as Michael to piece together clues in a murder mystery side-mission. Completing this will unlock two Noir Style Filters for use during gameplay and on your Snapmatic in-game camera. Speaking of which, there’ll also be new wildlife photography challenges, which will find Franklin channelling his inner-Afrika fanboyism.
And that’s not all: stock race competitions will enable you to unlock muscle cars adorned with decals from some of Los Santos’ most recognisable organisations, while a new set of collectibles pertaining to a Banksy-esque graffiti artist will see you unlock monkey costumes for your crew. There’ll even be new blimps and other bits and bobs to sweeten the deal.
There’s more information over at the Social Wire, including an FAQ regarding previous pre-order bonuses. Have these additional sweeteners convinced you to double dip on Rockstar’s forthcoming re-release? Try to talk yourself out of it in the comments section below.

I've never played a single GTA game in my life yet I'm considering breaking that rule for this.
@Jonny Just to make it clear because it may not be in the article (though I've edited now): it sounds like these are bonuses for people who played GTAV on PS3/360, so if this is your first time, I don't think you'll get access to any of the above.
I can't imagine it will stay that way forever, though.
@Get2sammyB Oh, well I'm hopeful it won't stay that way forever anyway, it'd be like leaving money on the table.
Umm that's not a whole stinking lot of new stuff, but I'm hoping the experience as a whole will be worth buying it again. At least there's no season pass to screw us further. (tho my plus subscription just ran out!)
Honestly, not hugely interested in getting it again. IF more friends get it & play GTA Online I might change my mind but until then I'll wait. Anyway with so many NEW games coming out in November the old ones can wait.
So if I owned this game on ps3 I get these for my ps4 version even though I sold it a year ago with my ps3?
@get2sammyb that stinks
I purchased this for my younger brother on ps3.
I skipped it knowing it would come for ps4 at some time. But 5 minutes of messing around with it on ps3 a few months back left me amazed by how good this looks on the last gen hardware.
I might take the plunge on ps4.
I'm totally double-dipping on this. I don't have my PS3 copy any more though so I hope I still get these extras. Also I don't want to keep my old save file. I'd rather just play through it again from the start so we'll see!
If they don't give above extras to everyone, what's the point of playing the same game again, enough with the Ports and hd remakes, put NEW this generation only games out, your making me feel like I've wasted my money on next gen when all that's coming out lately I'd Ports of last gen
Sold. The third time. Lol.
Ive got one question. Exactly what is being added to the online portion. I know most of this stuff is single player only, but im hoping the vehicles, stock car missions, the plethora of wildlife, are confirmed as being added to online as well. Ill only be buying it if my buddies and i can do new things together, otherwise, well it is coming out the same day as dragon age and far cry.
Got this On pre-order!! My question is will all the wildlife be in the "online"
I am really tempted by this port (though not straight away, because too much other stuff to do). I played it on PS3, but never finished, and you can transfer your save game across (from what I understand). So very tempting to pick it up later on the PS4 (when the price has gone down) and continue. I find it so hard going back to the ps3 to play games now. The UI is soooo slow and I miss the DS4.
Pre-ordered & ready to dive in the story again! Wanna se the new wildlife & cool additions.
"the matte black Imponte Duke O'Death"
Duck, I says.
Duck O'Death.
