The extent of the visual upgrade between Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 and PS3 has been detailed in a new video.
As compiled by Eurogamer, the demo video released at E3 suggests a significant upgrade has been applied to the game, with better texture resolution, a sharp increase in geometry, better draw distances and a greater population density.
