| Killergran said: It's very easy to understand why we haven't seen a Vice City like release from Rockstar. The amount of work creating a living, breathing city like Liberty City of GTA IV is many times that of creating Vice City or even San Andreas. The amount of detail in Liberty City is astounding, and that is the reason the developement team needed to be so huge and it took so long to make GTA IV. The voicework alone is many times bigger. So they really couldn't create a new city just like that. It would take a developement team of a hundred people several years to create. Making episodic content set in the same city is just so much easier. And people, your picking on Slimebeast for the use of the word expansion is childish at best. |
Interesting. So basically, the GTA4 expansions being so "small", is a symptom of the ever rising costs of video game development, especially in the HD gen?
