In terms of sales, I guess the answer is probably, no. We all expected GTA to sell like it has before with Vice City, San Andreas and GTA IV. But in terms of game play, we feel it is better than expected, for various reasons. The freedom is one thing, and you’re not just able to do more activities than ever before, such as golf and tennis, you’re also able to switch characters so you’re not limited to one individual. You can even switch character during missions, which is a superb addition.

Vehicle-wise there are improvements too. Previous GTA game shave allowed you to drive a range of boats cars and planes, but GTA V has taken it a step further with vehicles such as submarines. Each of the main characters is different, and character selection has been extremely careful, which is probably why it works so well. The increasing sales show GTA V is better than before, and the long wait for release was well worth it.

Some people have been lucky enough to experience the PS4 and use its controller, and we feel that significant improvements have been made to the controller, making gaming much more enjoyable.

For adult gamers, the design seemed to feel quite small, perhaps only suited really to children, whereas Xbox’s was bigger. Now the handles are much smoother, and apparently a lot more comfortable in the palm of the hand.  The buttons and triggers are again more rounded while the design is not completely different, making it unfamiliar. Playstation have solved their issues for larger hands, and the new touchpad is a nice addition. Many think about the consoles and the games, but we feel improvement to controllers are important and definitely worth a mention.
