- Gmeinformer Gameiformer"I can’t stress just how much fun it is to experience Grand Theft Auto V again from a new perspective. The impact it has on the series is huge, but is somewhat muted from it debuting in a re-release and not a new entry in the series. I went into this review expecting to play the same game again, and I did, but Rockstar made it feel new." 9.75/10 ~Gameinformer
- IGNIGN"Grand Theft Auto 5 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is a masterwork for all the same reasons mentioned in our original Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 review. Its world is a truly astonishing achievement in so many ways, and these two versions are currently the best way to experience it, aside from the hobbled multiplayer matchmaking. If you missed GTA 5 before, it’s absolutely a game that has to be played. Whether it’s worth buying a second time is entirely dependent on whether you’re interested in replaying the same game again – and only you can answer that. But I’m glad to have had a reason to revisit it, and am happy to find it even more impressive than it was before." 10/10 ~IGN
- PluggedinPluggedin"A year after its initial release, Rockstar Games reworked and re-released the hard-edged GTA V for next-gen consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This newest version comes with a trunk full of upgraded graphics, new character events and quests, additional songs, new vehicles and new weapons. It also gives gamers the ability to access a first-person (opposed to the game's previously third-person) perspective. That may seem like a minor adjustment, but when translated into this vast urban playground, it turns the already rough action into a visceral pummeling. Punching, kicking, gunning down and running over in-game characters and splattering their blood on the pavement is now very up-close and personal. "In third person, you are a camera that can control a polygonal character, but you are not that character," The Daily Beast reviewer Alec Kubas-Meyer said describing his feelings of discomfort while playing the new version. "There is a disconnect, which allows for some distance between his actions and your button presses. When your camera is the character's eyes, that disconnect is gone, and that makes all of the violence much more unsettling." He continues, "No, it's not real and it doesn't feel that way, but it feels wrong in a way that third person violence does not." That intensified immersion applies to sexual situations too. In third-person mode, the camera would typically break away when your character picked up a prostitute on the street and invited her into his car. In first, you stay right there in the midst of the "action" as you pay for and receive "sexual favors" that are rendered with exceedingly graphic movements, positions and sounds. Trips to strip clubs for topless lap dances get similar treatment. Additionally, players can now find "Easter egg" peyote plants, which cause characters to hallucinate when eaten and turn them into a variety of random birds and beasts. Beastified, you can attack and kill people … or drop excrement on their heads." ~Pluggedin
