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.
Not to mention there seems to be a not insubstantial amount of reused assets from all of those additions.
“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.
So therefore they should model everything anew again?
