Very very excited as GTAV is finally released, so after an installation and an update I'm finally able to play the long awaited NextGen version! The graphics are insane!
When entering online it gave me the option to transfer my previous character and all existing progression data which includes money, RP, cars, properties & all your items you owned before. Absolutely nothing is lost.
On the character creator the characters are standing side by side in a police mug shot, I then selected my character and began to give her an overhaul! Her ID board stated her name with 'transferred' printed underneath and their ID number.
I then began the character creator, the first option is sex. Mines a female. The next option was Heritage, which is where you select your mum and dads appearance, and which side you want to resemble more than the other etc. The next option was features, which you select things like brows, eyes, nose, nose profile, nose tip, cheekbones, lips etc. The next option is appearance, which gives you the option to adjust their hair - and exact colour shade of hair, eyebrows, facial hair, skin blemishes, skin ageing, skin complexion, moles & freckles, skin damage etc. You can now adjust make up separately and select the exact colours. The next option is Apparel which is clothing- not any new clothing.
The final option is to view their stats, which are; stamina, shooting, strength, stealth, driving, flying, mental state and hardware access.
You also have the option to select a character at random!
The characters phone can now be your chosen colour, options are : blue, green, grey, orange, pink, red and purple.
You can also select the background which could be your crew emblem or blue angles, blue shards, blue circles, diamonds, green glow, green shards, green squares, green triangles, orange 8-bit, orange halftone, orange herringbone, orange triangles, purple glow or purple tartan.
You can also select your ringtone.
All these options are in the settings.
On storymode if you want to enjoy freeroam and don't want any interruptions just turn your phone to sleep mode!
You can still only own a maximum of 2 properties per character.
There is new vehicles such as ;
Sports cars;
Dinka Blista compact $42,000,
Bravado sprunk buffalo,
Planes;
Xero blimp, (only storymode which is unlocked after completing the Franklin and Lamar mission)
Motorcycles;
Nagasaki carbon Rs
Declasse burger shot stallion,
Imponte duke O'death,
Vapid pisswasser dominator,
Off road;
Cheval Marshall $500,000, classic American automobile meets monster truck, select from 25 available livery and flag combinations,
The kraken $1,300,000,
There is a new option to add Neons to vehicles now in the Mod shop. Under the category 'Lights' there is headlights and then Neon kits! Once you select Neon kits it then has two further selections for choice of layout and colours. The layout options are; front ($10,000), back ($10,000), sides ($12,500), front & back ($18,000), front & sides ($20,000), back & sides ($20,000) and front, back & sides ($30,000). You can then select colours, they give you 14 choices from white to pony pink, these are around $6,500 each. There is also 27 flags you can add to the roof of some cars, these are $2,500 each.
There are also a few new weapons, to select your weapon using the DualShock4 you simply swipe up or down. Some are limited edition from current gen that are now available to purchase on Next Gen;
The railgun,
Pistol .50,
A hammer,
A brand new weapon is the hatchet, it's available to purchase for $712, (unlocked online after Trevor is available in storymode)
When you now bring up your interaction menu it offers you a new selection of new walk styles, such as ; gangster, feminine, posh, tough guy, or normal. To access your interaction menu you simply tap and hold the PS4 touch pad.
The mini map in the bottom left corner rotates slightly off centre as it's angled differently which makes it appear more 3D. The map is also now black and white with the purple way point still and it's much clearer to follow.
The First person option is very quickly accessed with a single tap of the touchpad, it swaps to and from very smoothly!
First person view for driving is tricky at first as you can't really see the width of your vehicle but it gets easier as you get more accustomed to it. However riding a bike is very disorientating if you fall off as the camera really spins the picture. First person shooting is great as you can see down your scopes a lot easier and have more freedom to move about! You are able to see your feet when you look down!
The PS4 controllers speaker now allows you to listen in to the police radios, which is great as you don't suddenly get pounced on by the police as you are able to hear everything. Also the PS4 light bar flashes blue and red when you're wanted by the police, which is awesome!
Lots of new music on the radio stations. To browse through the radio stations you swipe left or right on the DualShock4 touch pad. New tracks :

Each lobby can now hold 30 players which is brilliant! Some jobs can also hold 30 players, which causes mayhem during contact races!
With up to 20 new animal species the world feels so much more real when on storymode. Not seen any animals online so far apart from birds!
I'll be adding to this when I have more information after playing it more!
Thanks for reading!
