>>713681809The game has incredible attention to detail, but it was still building off the blocks that GTA5 set before it tech-wise, and the gameplay is still 'that' Rockstart 3rd-person gameplay, complete with clunky animation-prioritized movement. I don't know why that game took as long to make as it did.
>>713681697I honestly believe it's because the people who pioneered a lot of 3d gaming just retired/left the industry, and the people coming in can't software engineer/playtest for the fucking life of them, so they're stuck working within the constraints of their chosen 3rd-party engine.
