There is a feeling among players who already own Grand Theft Auto 5 on last gen consoles that it will be a waste of money (and possibly time) to play it all over again on the new consoles. However as previously proven, Rockstar’s current gen version of GTA 5 is not merely a port. They have went out of their way and added several extra features such as first person mode, graphical and animations update, and new missions.

Rockstar recently released a ton of new screenshots from the remastered version of GTA 5. We have taken some of those screenshots and stacked them against the last gen version. The difference is expected but as this is no ordinary port, there are a few interesting additions to the visuals that the developers have implemented.

Some comparisons have been taken from GTAForums.
