Grand Theft Auto V was no slouch on the PlayStation 3. The title had its visual flaws for sure, but it still largely pushed the boundaries of what’s possible on Sony’s previous generation machine. However, the PlayStation 4 port will take things to the next level – and Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick says that Rockstar’s aiming to “blow you away”.
“Whatever the expectation is, they want to exceed it,” he told MCV magazine, as part of a Gamescom 2014 special. “When you see Grand Theft Auto V on next-gen, I want you to tell me whether it is or isn't better than your expectation. I can guarantee that it will be better. Nothing but the very best will satisfy Rockstar.”
We had expected the game to appear as part of Sony’s press conference earlier this week, but the platform holder had nothing new to show on the studio’s behalf. Nevertheless, the title’s still very much on track for this year – even if we don’t have a release date just yet. The folks behind Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition must be sweating buckets right now.

I've got watchdogs and I'd rather splash out on sleeping dogs too. I don't know anything about GTAV that's supposed to appeal to me. If it was dirt cheap I might bite.
GTA V was awesome on PS3, but probably not going to buy it again for PS4 unless there's something really extra included
I waited for GTA V to come to PS4. After experiencing Diablo 3 on my PS3 I knew I had to wait with games like these to really enjoy everything they had to offer. Although it's an technical marvel they were able to run GTA V on a PS3, I got fed up with the glitches, fps drops and other little problems at the end of the ps3 era. Although I never liked GTA for their story and missions, I just like goofing around a bit as if the city was my own private playground. I hope this game will blow me away as much as it did with most people who played it on ps3.
@Boerewors same here, but I waited for Diablo too! hehe
No thanks to the port of a game everyone played just last year. It's enough already.
@GameAce I totally agree.
@SimonAdebisi as the saying goes, "Let Sleeping Dog's Lie". It was a really piss poor attempt at a GTA style game. Too restrictive.
Watchdogs is far better than Sleeping Dogs.
GTA V is a masterpiece in open world freedom. I don't understand people that enjoy the genre, don't get GTA V.
@GameAce it'll sell by the bucket load again. I only played a little on last gen, so to play a much better version of such a quality title.....yes please.
Don't want it.....don't buy it, but plenty will.
@RD74 wasn't half the openworld just a big pointless mountain. I watched my brother play it plenty and it just didn't look that much fun.
Unless this is sold with a significant discount for those who bought it before I won't buy it.
@RD74 Yeah, it will sell well. It's GTA. That's called a sure thing. These titles should be available on PS Now for the people who missed them last gen.
There is quite a big difference between GTA V PS3 Version & PS4 Version, it'll also run a lot better on the PS4 than what it did on the PS3. The dev's that are porting there games are learning the PS4 hardware, which will benefit there future PS4 game's.
@RD74 I honestly think Sleeping Dogs was a lot more fun than GTA. and I'm actually really surprised by that. I watched the trailer and didn't expect much from SD, but I loved it. I did expect a decent amount out of GTA, and I thought it was okay. Still haven't finished the game because I needed a break from it...it felt like work to me.
This is a must buy for me. I can't wait! Woooop wooooooooop!!
WOW! Im shocked at most these comments! GTA V was a GREAT game & I cant wait to buy it again... I guess its because you ppl dont connect to its... "urban appeal" I suppose?? Idk.. but GTA V is way better than Watch Dogs & I actually enjoyed that too.. I've never played or heard of Sleeping Dogs. Main reason im buying GTA V on PS4 is because my PS3 is dead (I refuse to pay to get it fixed again) & because I thoroughly enjoyed the game & each character. I'd like for it to be a bit cheaper but if its $60.00... I'll still buy it.
I'm pissed they didn't offer a discount for TLOU if you already bought it. They're both worthy of porting, but dang... $130 plus $30 for TLOU collectors book w/out dlc.... I'd be at $120 for GTA5 too. Can't do that for every game. I'll have to see if there's a discount but why would there be? 😩
GTA is so much more than a standard open world game. It's a masterpiece in satire, and some people just don't get that.
I will wait or GTA5 going up on PS+ or getting a huge discount before I getting it for PS4
Will defo be gettin this as it was nearly unplayable on ps3.one of the worst running games iv seen on ps3,and there were a hell of a lt of them!!
@SimonAdebisi- Although GTA V was a little disappointing,it's tons better than the very over rated Watch Dogs,and Should be even better on PS4.
@mikey85 -I thought it played very well on the PS3.I've seen it on the Xbox 360,and I thought the PS3 version played much better(which made a nice change)
What I'd really love is to be able to play GTA3,VC and SA on my Vita.Come on Sony,let us play the PS2 classics on Vita.
I cant wait for this. The whole reason i didnt buy it on the PS3 was because i was hoping it would eventually come out for my PS4,and now it finally is!
Never bought it on ps3 to many rumours it was going to be hitting the ps4 and im glad i waited it out, instant buy for me.
I cannot wait for this its gonna be amazing the haters and wingers can rant on all they want but rockstar doesn't release bad games gta v on ps3 was a miracle but i held back from playing the story coz a knew it would come to next gen the console it was built for this will be special.
