GTA 5 PS4 Graphics are amazing! Comparison to PS3 (Grand Theft Auto: V)

GTA 5 on PS4, Xbox One and PC has given us the chance to harness the power of these platforms to improve every aspect of the game. In addition to the all-new First Person Mode revealed yesterday, this means big technical changes like increasing the overall resolution and more than doubling the draw distance, as well as replacing every texture in the game and much more.

To see just how far the game has come in its transition to these new versions, check out the PS3 to PS4 Comparison video above. And be sure to head over to IGN today for more details and an exclusive interview that explains many of the key upgrades and the challenge of creating these new, enhanced versions of GTAV:

"As good-looking as GTA V is on PS3 and Xbox 360, and as alive as it feels, this is something else entirely. This isn’t GTA peeking its head into the new generation; this is GTA kicking down the door and cartwheeling directly into the epicentre of the party, much to the envy of those who just spent the last 12 months warming up over by the crackers and dip. It’s beautiful, it’s denser than ever, and I’ve barely scratched the surface. This is GTA V on a current generation console; the PS4, to be specific. This is not simply GTA V upscaled; that much is already clear. This is GTA V upgraded, on every level."

This reverse thingy you did is kinda cool. Like the video man!

[TheJeminiOne]

I really liked the reverse comparison where you take away the improved graphics...I found it to be more telling than when it was going forward and adding...hopefully you do more that way on purpose

[ImNxthan]

Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited about this game. But I'm kinda expecting something similar to Watchdogs happen, with a downgrade from the advertised graphics. :/

I feel like the strip club will have more visitors on the newer consoles..

[alienloveshack]

As good as what the ps4 version looks, you can't take away what they managed to achieve on the last Gen systems. Hats off to Rockstar

For GTA, I prefer 30 fps and 1080 over 60 fps and a lower resolution. In fact, 30 fps is just fine to me in most games if it doesn't go below.

now there is first person mode, you better be able to choose what colour car interior in Los santos customs

Dude I'm 44 years old and I love your videos because I grew up in gaming

[RyanValizan]

It really does look like a lawn mower is coming through cutting down all the grass, haha.  Love this video and it has me so excited for next week!  It really did add a new element having it shown in reverse, like a "now you see it, now you don't."  I'm really hoping they have animals online so I can take my big F250 mud truck out to the wetlands and go mudding and hunting with a rifle.  First person view going mudding on the ps4 will be awesome too!  I hope the mud will get caked up on the sides and make the car wash worth going through.

See the amount of pedestrians behind micheal then the ps3 version is like a graveyard harldy anyone lol.

[tomeddie]

Tbh, never thought to myself that it needed more frames, a first person view so really, they've already made the game better than what it really needed to be. Looks awesome, can't wait to play it again! Love your videos Olli! ;)

[NoMorePodDes]

This is just sick, u r right Olli, the reverse one is the gamechanger for sure

[HitmanPeTeY]

In reverse it goes from 'Wow' to 'Dull' in seconds! It's amazing how much change and detail has been put into this game! Can't wait to have it (back) in my life!

[sepulcher]

for a sanbox game this hughe it's very impressive they even managed to squeeze out 30fps on 1080p. good job in my oppinion.

[gamingpcbuildsuk]

This looks amazing, I`ll be getting it on PC most probably due to only being able to transfer you account once, but I don`t think PS4 and PC will look much different.

[TekLui]

How to make a game better for next gen:
Add more grass.

[garyenglish]

I cannot wait until the next gen GTAV drops but let me ask you this do you think the games popularity as the original game and what extra will they have to include to keep peoples interest thanks and by the way really enjoy your videos this is only the 3rd time I have commented on your videos lol I will start to post more comments

[Craziiart]

Going back looked good. I still don't think it justifies me paying full price for the game that came out last year when I'm only going to play online and not the story again 

[TaylorMcOfficial]

The only reason I would like 60fps is because youtube now supports it so it would be quite cool to play AND upload in 60fps

[jmathdoubler]

The difference between the ps3 version and the xbox one version is minimal
