The year of the re-release has turned into an inevitable reality. This smug editor predicted that we’d be seeing plenty of ports during the PlayStation 4’s first year on store shelves, and between Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Metro: Redux, Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition, and more, that’s exactly what we’ve got. Aside from irritating video editor Ben Potter with their terrible subtitles, though, these well regarded remakes have comprised some of the best experiences available on Sony's new console thus far, with The Last of Us: Remastered currently the highest rated title on the super machine – and a certain green suited space marine likely to occupy a similar spot on an alternative appliance soon.
And by the time that we’re all merrily singing Auld Lang Syne, we’d be shocked if a certain other high-profile re-release wasn’t sitting atop Metacritic’s top games of 2014 list. Fashionably late as always, Rockstar Games has waited until this week to detail its forthcoming PS4 port of Grand Theft Auto V – and it’s actually looking exceptional. Equipped with a first-person mode – which happens to be a fully fleshed out feature, rather than a simple throwaway addition – as well as dozens of different types of wildlife, fresh visual effects, and more, it’s clear that the organisation has invested a fair few ounces of effort into this next-gen update.
Is that enough, though? With circumstances colluding to leave us feature-less this evening, we’re falling on an old favourite: a simple poll designed to pick your brains about the revered re-release. Have you decided to rub shoulders with the lousy low lives of Los Santos again, and what’s prompted you to double dip on the open world game? Did you fall in love with it on the PlayStation 3, for example, and are you already longing to experience it again? Or did you skip on the sandbox first time around, and have finally been convinced to give it a go? Don't worry if you’re skipping the title either, because we’d like to know why – and what the developer would need to do to get you on board?
As always, place your votes in our poll, and then drop into the comments section to share your thoughts in more detail. Oh, and if anyone dares to ask if it’s a ‘slow news day’, we’ll get Michael, Trevor, and Franklin on your ass. No one wants that.

Yes
Nah, I'll pass.
Hell yes!
@Reverandjames I purposefully didn't finish the story either. I did finish TLOU's campaign on ps3 and still wanted the Remaster, but I'm glad I still have 25% or so left at the end of GTAV. I wish I had skipped both on ps3 now that there's new-gen releases
Didn't play it on ps3, watchdogs wasn't great, CoD has been a let down, I'll pick up GTA and some time soonish.
Not getting it on day one because I already know I'll be spending all my gaming time on WWE 2K15 which comes out on the same day. But I WILL be getting it... I need that back in my collection.
It's GTA V, but for current gen. Why would I not buy it again?
Where is the will get for sub £20 option?
Hell Yea!!! Can't wait!!!
Will get it as I neever played it before.
No thank you, Rockstar. It's a setup.
I loved GTA V but I'm not going to spend fifty beer tokens on a slightly shinier version. Maybe if the multiplayer turned out to be as awesome as it looked in the trailers... but the MP got tiresome really, really fast.
Make Read Dead Redemption 2 or Bully 2, please!
Yep I will be picking it up. At least the very least I will have others I can play GTOnline with.
It would be a crime to not buy and play this game in my world
So Yes I will buy it. ^^
Yes can't wait!!
Played PS3 version only briefly,deliberately held out for PS4 version and cannot wait!
I didn't really like the PS3 version if I'm honest. I mean, I thought it was beautifully made, but, I couldn't get on with the controls - and ultimately stopped playing it. I'm hoping that I'll have more patience at second attempt.
It was easily on my top 5 games of last Gen and I've been itching to play through the campaign again so this just gives me that excuse ! And with a whole new 1000 gamerscore to add to my collection as well
At $60 a game I would never buy a game a second time I had just bought a year earlier.
I'm buying the game, but I never bought it last generation either. If I had, I'd probably rather spend that $60 on a game I hadn't played before, or put it towards another console or handheld or something- can never have too many of those
Preordered already. Had gotten it for ps3 but as a gift for my younger brother. Was impressed by its visuals on ps3.
didn't play it on ps3.... gonna get the trio that day: GTAV, FarCry4 and Dragon Age.... this year christmas gonna come 1 month earlier....
Yes, yes, yes and er yes.
People who pass, will miss out greatly!
Im so excited about the first person mode. I've always wanted GTA in first person. I am a bit disappointed in the lack of blood and gore in gta5 though. It was awesome in red dead redemption. They really should have kicked it up a notch.
I have never liked a GTA game to date and GTA V (the original) did nothing to change my mind about the franchise, as much as I appreciate developers making remasters (I love me some remasters), I dont think a remaster is enough to make a GTA game any less meh.
I gave those scummy jerks at SquareEnix and Crystal Dynamics $60 for Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (something that will go down as one of my worst purchasing decisions ever given recent happenings). If I can do that, I might as well give Rockstar, a company that hasn't stabbed its loyal PlayStation fanbase in the back, and a company that is putting some real effort into its 'remaster' a well-earned $60.
@XFsWorld
Couldn't tell from the avatar if you were looking forward to this one or not.
you know to watch the language. -Tasuki -
I plan on playing the PS3 version first before I touch the PS4 version, but yes I will eventually buy and play the PS4 version.
Loving it on PS3, will love it on PS4. Railgun and stock car races! Bring it on!
Yep from me, you can keep the SP though it's all about the online for me
@Tasuki
I know to watch the language but I had to use it. Jerks is too nice a word to use when talking about the slime at the offices of SquareEnix and Crystal Dynamics. In the future, I'll censor the curse words.
And here I thought the percentage of people not buying this would be much lower.
I find RDR more interesting and unique than GTA, so I would not mind seeing another one of those. That and I love me some western.
Avoiding like the plague is a bit harsh, but two playthroughs on the ps3 were enough for me.
@Gamer83: I understand and can't blame you at times I have to think of alternative words to use lol. The only thing is others don't see it that way and we gotta try to keep it family friendly. Thanks for understanding.
Hmm,well i've had no interest in this franchise for years for some reason..but,if the first person mode works and its got southpaw controls an no aim assist then i'm interested..a bit.
Sorry maybe off topic, maybe rockstar should think the character for the next gta has a bladder, and hunger and fuel in the car, so it can add up to gameplay, gameplay hour and richness in gta gameplay, so we had the willingnes to get money to buy food, gasoline or fuel for the car, other than waht gta had know.. It just an idea. Btw keep up the good work rockstar!! Long live gta series love it
Love it, no other game let's you live in it like GTA V
I'll be returning for the first time. PS3 fried on me before I could play this last gen. This is the one port I plan to get.
If gamestop does a trade in value, trade in the PS3 version for the PS4 version and only pay $30 towards it then yes I would get it.
@MorriganIsHot
They did that for The Last of Us Remastered, definitely worth looking into.
