Grand Theft Auto franchise may have 'peaked,' according to analyst

Dec 7th 2009 2:31PM (Joystiq)
I never played any of the GTA games until IV came out around 18-months ago. I still play GTA IV DLCs several nights a week online with friends. Of course, after seeing all of the hate mail for GTA IV and hearing everyone talk about how great S.A. was, I bought S.A. thru XBL. I was dumbfounded that a gamer of today would think that S.A. is better than IV? S.A. is a kiddi game by comparison. (Saint's Row 2 is better for S.A. crybabies) Liberty City is an incredible simulation of a present day USA city, kinda like a precursor to the first MATRIX that we may all be plugged into someday. ;) I could not see S.A. being anywhere close to IV and never got more than 30 minutes into S.A.

So, I hope a new, full GTA comes out in a couple of years, and I hope that R* will stay on the path of creating M rated games with environments that blur the line between fantasy and reality.

i hear ya'... GTA 4 is the first of the series that i've ever played, so i DL'd GTA S.A. to explore the history and it just isn't the same. often the first experience with anything of multiple volumes tends to become the trendsetter in the players mind... the online component of GTA 4 tho' is worth it alone, imo. peace out.

i've played SR2 a few times and tho' it's funny, it just isn't sticking with me. The driving is very arcade-like, IMO. I read "don't compare it to gta4" from gamers that digg SR2... easier said than done. it's all good tho'... different strokes for different folks. ;) can't wait for the GTA4 DLC.

right on baby sea tuna. GTA 4 blows away the other sandbox kiddi games out there like SR2 or Crackdown. more thuggery and mayhem to come in Liberty City!

and how bout the ability to fire RPG's and sniper rifles from a helicopter? LJ and the cops can...
