‘GTA 5’ May Get Exclusives on the PS4, Comparisons Showcased and Possible Added Features on PC
As a wish fulfillment of a lot of fans' prayers and wishes, the news of "GTA 5" coming to the PS4, Xbox One and PC had been the answer to countless speculations on and petitions for Rockstar Games' best-selling franchise to date.
But it seems that PS4 players may have more to look forward to with the title, if a new tidbit is to be believed.
Kotaku has managed to speak with John Koller, marketing VP for PlayStation during E3 2014, and it revealed some interesting statements that could point out to some exclusive features on the PS4 version of "GTA 5."
When asked if there are any features or offers that would make the PS4 the choice platform for rolling out "GTA 5" for next-gen, Koller replied, "I don't think we announced anything publicly on that, but there will be. I think 'GTA V' is a title that did extremely well on the PlayStation 3. It swung well in PlayStation's favor for 'GTA V,' a lot of it because of the partnership we had with Rockstar.
"We would expect that to happen here, too... We'll talk more about in the weeks and months to come, but 'GTA V' and the GTA franchise is something that will be very special on PlayStation."
In the meantime, these are very cryptic words, with no confirmation on whether the "special something" for the PlayStation platforms for "GTA 5" may be pertaining to exclusive content, DLCs or bonus items. But hopefully, Sony or Rockstar Games will give more confirmation about this little tidbit for the peace of mind of PS4 players.
For now, check out this PS4 vs. PS3 comparison footage that compares how "Grand Theft Auto V" fares in terms of the improved resolution and overall adjustment to the next-gen hardware.

'GTA 5' on Steam: Page Now Available Though no Preorders
Sharp-eyed fans have found that "GTA 5" finally has its own Steam page, in preparation for when the much awaited "Grand Theft Auto 5" on the PC will finally debut.
IncGamers spotted the page, which also features a release date for "GTA V" as fall 2014, as well as better resolutions heading for the PC version of the game. More details have been listed on the Steam page, including the improved AI, never before seen wildlife, and even an "advanced weather and damage effects."
Considering that "GTA 5" on either the PC or next-gen consoles version will now have more hardware power to exploit, it would not be surprising to find a few more details and improvements to the game. If anything, that would be the justification of Rockstar Games' long silence when it comes to the PS4, Xbox One and PC version of "GTA 5" prior to its E3 2014 reveal.
