[hercules1975]

Is it safe to transfer characters from last gen to current gen systems?

 

Yes

Game Progress – GTA Online progression will transfer including all unlocks, Contacts, Jobs, Trophies and stats.

Achievements and Trophies – Achievements and trophies will transfer. Additional overall Gamerscore will not be awarded for transferring achievement progress.

 

When they say this do they just mean the online trophies? Single player trophies won't transfer?

[MadeBrazen]

I have two questions that have been niggling at me.

 

1) Is there a setting that can change aiming in first person so that pulling left trigger to aim goes straight into iron sights, instead of that awkward hip fire aim and having to push the stick in for iron sights? Sorry for the terrible phrasing there.

 

2) I think I know already it is no but can we have more than two characters now?

 

Thanks chaps.

Yes.

 

 

Do Cars, Weapons and Apartments transfer over?? Just want to be clear on this.

Yes

 

And they still retain all upgrades??

 

Yes, you get everything you had from last gen...

How is matchmaking? Do you still get "trapped on the clouds for two minutes, get disconnected randomly, etc?

[hercules1975]

I've played a bit of online, and had a couple of questions of my own now!

 

Q: Why can't I zoom in with the sniper rifle when I push the right analogue stick forward/backwards?

A: The controls have changed on PS4, your character now moves around when you use R3, to zoom in/out use the D-Pad (up and down).

 

Q: How do I call up the interactive menu in a vehicle, there is no select button on the PS4 controller?

A: You now hold the big rectangular touch-screen button down and it brings the menu up.

 

Q: Why can't I jump when I have the phone displayed?

A: I am not sure if this is intentional or a game-bug at the moment

I was looking at my PS4 controller earlier... how do you change views? There's no select button.

Yes, you start story-mode all over again from scratch.

 

There are no save files or trophies/achievements, you do get the Online ones (i've got mine) after you have played online for a while.

On PS4 just click the touchpad.

[Don Johan]

CONNECTION ISSUES:

Q: Has anyone had any lag or freezing?

A: No freezing or crashing (yet)

I haven't been able to play all day. Is that just me? I thought Rockstars servers were full like last year.

A: You now press the big rectangular touch-screen button and it cycles between the views

How to use iron sights?

[Topsy05]

How do I get my pre-order bonus cash and the bonus 500k?

[aurules16]

Apologies if this has been asked over and over....

 

But in terms of transferring characters. Do I make a brand new PS+ account, link it to my social club and have my character return? Or can I only do this by signing in via my original PS3 account that's already linked to it?

 

Thanks

plz tell us

[hercules1975]

How to use iron sights?

 

A: On PS4 you press the big rectangular touch-screen button down and it cycles between the views, use 1st person then aim

How do I get my pre-order bonus cash and the bonus 500k?

 

It should be in your account if you qualified for the pre-order bonus.

 

I bought the bundle with the PS4 and GTA5 on the 5th November and didn't get anything paid into my account...

 

One of my crew friends said he only got the $500 in Online!

 

One of the other crew members answered the question:

 

A: You apparently have to put the code in twice. Once from story to psn and once from online to psn from start menus.

I am not 100% sure what you mean, do you already have a PS+ account on PS3, if so you should be able to use that on PS4?

 

It should know if you sign in using the same account you use on PS3 if you have paid for PS+ and it should transfer onto that system.

 

Your GTA Online account needs to be linked to the Social Club to do the character transfer.

 

I didn't have a PS4 or PS+ until today, so I set the PS4 up - downloaded the update PS and during the set-up it asks you if you want to join PS+.

 

I put the code in from the PS+ card and signed up on the PS4, then installed the game, then the 1st big update 1.6GB

 

It then gives you the option to transferred your character and I was able to change my character's appearance before going into Online.

 

I played a bit then left, when I went to go back online there was another update of 1.2GB to install before I could get back on!

Is there a jetpack?

 

I haven't found it yet, but then again I haven't been looking for it

Nope

 

 

Is it true you lose your money on prev gen when you transfer? Or do you keep everything on both?

Nope. You keep everything

Thank you. Going to buy a cash card now before transfer since it's like paying for double(if you still play both gens) *Runs and hides in closet*

 

 

Cash Card money doesn't transfer

[ExtremeTorque]

How stable is the frame rate?

I'm more interested in busy online areas with explosions and sh*t going around.

[Cyoctane]

Ok when I booted up online and started customizing my transferred character, I got the Numero Uno and American Dream trophy. I don't mind redoing trophies for stuff like races and robbing stores, but what about the trophies for being level 25/50/100? My character is level 198, am I not supposed to get those trophies as well?

2 single player trophies actually popped with my online ones. Pimping a firearm and stunt jumps. Unless you can do those two in on line also. I know stunt jumps you can.

[Nelson Van Alden]

How do I claim my free apartment/Garage? Can I exchange an existing property if I already have 2?

 

Is the Railgun in the Ammunation? I couldnt see it.
