I guess AAA studios are hollywood now. Unable to create something new, put a new coat of paint on something from the attic. Milk the audience with nostalgia.
Such a thin line, but that’s exactly what I’m saying. That on top of stop charging full new game price for something that I played 10+ years ago that’s only a remaster.
Yeah, I’d much prefer they make it a DLC or something for the existing game instead of a new entry entirely. I’d ideally be able to toggle between old and new in the same game.
My comment isn’t just about Rockstar, although they did also do some milking with GTA3 as well. Recently there was TES IV, plus all the Skyrim editions, from Bethesda. Now Gears of War is getting a remaster. In recent years, remakes and remasters from AAAs seem to have increased. Last of Us is another example.
And to be clear, I’m not necessarily against the remakes/maintaining the classics to be playable on modern hardware. Really, it’s the price tags.

I have no issues with them remastering old games for newer platforms. I have a problem with remaking old games instead of making new games.

Gta 6 has been delayed to 5/26/2026
The time of release is kind of irrelevant. They’re working hard on a new game.
Having said that, it’s the same game with a different story, so… Neither side has much of a point. 😆
What universe are you from where it’s coming out next week.
Sorry 😞
