You might think a re-release of a 14-month-old game wouldn't cause a lot of fanfare. But that's not true for games in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Rockstar Games has done quite a bit to entice players back into the world of Los Santos, including releasing trailers that make the vast world feel fresh again. The launch trailer, above, seems to highlight fewer main story missions, instead focusing on events more likely to be found after a lot of deep play.

Rockstar announced first-person mode last week, allowing players to experience Grand Theft Auto V in a way that is completely unique to the franchise. Other new features include additional weapons, vehicles and side-quests, plus a new wildlife lurking in the hills of the surrounding Blaine County.

The next-gen Grand Theft Auto V is coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on Nov. 18.
