As you can see that every Project of R* has been released in years so, if we calculate the year, we find how good/bad the game is.

 

GTA 3 Project started: ???

GTA 3 Project ended: 2001

= Normal

 

GTA VC Project started: 2001

GTA VC Project ended: 2002

= Bad (LOL, sorry for the Fans)

 

GTA SA Project started: 2002

GTA SA Project ended: 2004-2005 (They needed to remove the HC)

= Good

 

GTA 4 Project started: 2005

GTA 4 Project ended: 2008-2009 (Other 4 Era Games are added)

= Good

 

GTA 5 Project started: 2009

GTA 5 Project ended: 2012

= We don't know but we can say this one will be Awesome

 

What do you all say?

 

[The years are the release years but not the year when those event took place.]

i would say they started work on 5 as soon as 4 came out because they knew exactly what they were doing with the dlc from the start. and wouldnt need the whole team to work onm these dlc's

Dr . John13's Analysis Started: 2012

Dr . John13's Analysis Finished: 2012

= Poor

 

It is only his view of each game, different people had different opinions, so you cannot calculate the quality of a game by how long the Developers took with it.

 

But overall you have developed a good concept for analysis.

This is also subject to your opinion.

 

For example, you called Vice City bad, something most would disagree with you on.

 

Either way, I think they started the initial work around 2008, but I think they only got full-on into it in 2010.

ikillionaire ii

I might be reading it wrong

 

But i think he means cus it only took a year to release VC it was bad where as a bit more time between the other games give time to play

 

However if gta became a yearly thing and if we get a game of VC quality in the space of a year thats fine by me lol

I am sorry for the GTA VC lovers but that's the truth. They just remade GTA 3 with GTA VC and nothing else. confused.gif

 

EDIT: Explaining more- They just tweaked the map of Liberty City. Changed some music and made different missions. How do you think there will be 100s of mission in a year?

GTA VC ... = Bad

I know opinions are subjective and that we should all respect each other's views, but this really is just a big, big fail.

They didn't "just" remake GTA3. They transformed and polished the gameplay, the graphics, and the physics, as well as doing all the usual stuff like building a whole new map, writing a whole new script, not just for the cut scenes, but for all the radio stations too. They recorded it all, did all the motion capture, rendered the cut scenes all in an astonishing twelve months. They took every lesson learnt from GTA3 and addressed every single issue one way or another. The level of polish in GTA:VC is nothing short of amazing.

 

They made GTA:VC completely different to GTA3 and made what is generally regarded one of the very best and iconic GTA's in the series.

 

"Just remade", Phhhffff! Ridiculous.

Not even one of those face palm pictures is enough to express how idiotic that is. Anyone who believes that isn't a real GTA fan as far as I'm corcerned.

 

EDIT: Just tweaked LC, changed the music and missions? Sounds more like a description of LCS. meson1 summed it up the best. I'd suggest you play VC again because you REALLY have no idea what you're talking about.

Hmmm.......Bikes, Helicopters, Protagonist can talk, Completely different city, more cars, more weapons, Golf carts, boats. jet ski's, a REAL Easter Egg and one very happy skyscraper.

 

And that's just off the top of my head, good day sir.

GTA V project started in 2009? What?

 

Dude, TBoGT wasn't a full retail game, it was a DLC. Only a small team at R* North created it, because it really did not needed over a few hundred people to work on it.

 

My best guess was that GTA V's production started around late 2007 (Since IV was really finished by this time and planned for release on October '07, but it had problems and was delayed til April '08, but they didn't use the whole team to fix the issue either)

development for gta iv started 1 month before the release of gta sa). (there was plans for DLC for GTA SA PC but it ended up being scrapped in early stages)

 

gta V development started in late 2007.

You can't put a simple date on when a game started being developed.

 

Sure they would've scouted a location straight after GTA IV was finished, but we don't know when they started to focus all of their efforts on it.

Wow.. this is just ridiculous from OP. Especially the VC = bad (with arguments like "just a remade of III")

To be honest, Vice City isn't really my favorite GTA.. the map and story wasn't my thing. But what the OP stated here.. dude, I can't facepalm hard enough.

 

Wait.. what? He is using an avatar from VC?

I smell a troll here.. sigh.gif

I don't quite know what's supposed to be discussed here, it just seems like your review scores for the past games. People are going to have completely different opinions of which games were the best so there's no link between development time and how good the game is.
