16 years passed between GTA1 and GTA5 release date. And since GTA5 released 10 years have now passed. Games are more complicated than ever to make, added resolution to assets, realism mechanics, online etc add a real time cost to all.
@djlink to be honest I'm really looking forward for someone who will successfully make a game with gta/gta2 top view with modern mechanics to it 🧐
