See the PS3 and PS4 versions of Grand Theft Auto V side-by-side

Rockstar Games is most definitely kicking their Grand Theft Auto V hype into overdrive with yesterday’s big “First Person Experience” announcement, and now an impressive side-by-side comparison of the PS3 and PS4 versions of Grand Theft Auto V.

Check out the trailer below along with the list of new features, tweaks and enhancements.
