    With 12 years between entries its going to be impossible to please everyone and live up to the hype.

    With 3/vc/sa they came out fast enough that they could set a new standard and iterate on that along with the rest of the industry.

    After 12 years if they make a modern game it may not feel like GTA, but if they stick to their roots it risks feeling dated.

      I don’t think that’s necessarily true. People still like GTA V, so if they essentially just up the graphics, they can basically sell the same game and make bank. With such a long time between releases, they’ll probably avoid taking risks on it.

      I hope they do the VC, SA, IV thing and release a successor soon after. I’m thinking another Liberty City game with essentially the same engine and maybe a little extra simulation.

      But no, they’ll probably milk the online component and not release another for 10+ years. If that’s the case, I’m not getting it, I don’t care about online whatsoever.
