'GTA 5' PS4, Xbox One & PC Release Date, Gameplay & Trailer: 1080p Resolution on Sony Console Leaked
A PlayStation magazine seems to have revealed the "Grand Theft Auto 5"'s resolution on the PS4.
According to GTA Forums, a Gamespur Facebook page has posted page scans of the Official PlayStation Magazine - revealing what Rockstar Games has kept under wraps to this date - the game's resolution.
"Farewell 720p," reads one of the pages. "You served your purpose adequately enough. Still, our eyes have been gagging over 1080p's pin-sharp pleasure and the Los Santos sandbox is only too happy to oblige on PS4, running at a native 1920 x 1080 pixels."
Rockstar Games has revealed details about the upcoming next-gen version of "GTA 5", saying that "major visual and technical upgrades" such as "increased draw distances and higher resolution" will take center stage. But the makers of "Grand Theft Auto 5" never really elaborated on the resolution.
However, the following have already been confirmed to ship with "GTA V" once it rolls out Nov. 18 on the PS4 and Xbox One and Jan. 27, 2015 on PC: "New weapons, vehicles and activities, Additional wildlife, Denser traffic, New foliage system, Enhanced damage and weather effects, and much more", noted Rockstar Games.
The Online PlayStation Magazine scan has also confirmed that the game will have new music. GameRanx said that the scan notes of 100 new songs for "GTA 5." Rockstar Games earlier said the same, highlighting "new DJ mixes from returning DJs across the game's 17 radio stations."
The same player count upgrade for "Grand Theft Auto Online" is stated in the Online PlayStation Magazine's leaked page. Rockstar Games previously revealed that "GTA Online" will "include an increased player count, with online play now for up to 30 players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One."
"All existing gameplay upgrades and Rockstar-created content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online will also be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come," Rockstar Games added at that time.
Since existing "GTA 5" players on the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be able to transfer characters and progression to the PS4 and Xbox One and PC versions, the 1080p native resolution for the next-gen Sony console sure is good news for PlayStation gamers.
As for Xbox gamers, no word is out yet whether the Xbox One version will run on the same 1920 x 1080 native resolution.
What's confirmed though is the pre-order bonus of $1,000,000 in-game cash for "Grand Theft Auto 5" and "Grand Theft Auto Online." In addition, those who pre-order the PS4 and Xbox One title will receive an additional $300K for Grand Theft Auto Online, as previously covered.
