    The graphics look amazing as they did with RDR2, but unless there’s something truly innovative about the open world’s gameplay (like for example persistent, story unessential NPCs or a more dynamic relationship between the player and police) I don’t see a reason to be hyped about this game.

        They do, although their additions up until now have been about more content: more vehicles, more space, more detail, more activities, more granularity

        I want to know what’s specifically going to be better or more interesting. I’m honestly happy replaying RDR and GTA V or finally finishing GTA IV and RDR2 because those are all fantastic games.

            Sure, but asset reuse is not about laziness. It’s about prioritizing. If it ain’t broke, don’t waste your time fixing it.

              True. It’s just after all this time between releases, I don’t know, I was just expecting better. For anyone who has been foaming at the mouth over Online, this one’s been a decade in the making. Or however long since they decided to not bother with singleplayer content additions.

                Everyone playing the newest Call of Duty has been foaming at the mouth for something new as well. Buying the newest game is not going to manifest something new. In fact, quite the opposite. If more of the same generates them more money with less cost, they will 100% do that.

            “Standing on the shoulders of giants” is a saying in science. We build on the work that came before.

            Same with Rockstar. Go back and play GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.

            You really feel how these were built on the same engine/platform and how each game kinda just feels like the game they made while making the other game. If you look at the timelines San Andreas came quickly after Vice City (by modern standards at least). Imagine if they didn’t upgrade and reuse assets? If everything was to be built from scratch.

              True but those games came out at a time when they were releasing a game every year or so and there were often still reworks to most of the assets they reused. This is a game that’s coming after a decade of money grubbing. They aren’t a plucky little upstart anymore.

      GTA V came out when I wasn’t even in secondary school yet and now GTA VI is supposed to release when I should have a degree.

    The change in the mood of the room from starting the trailer to the ‘2025’ announcement was like skydiving without a parachute.
