The reason we loved GTA on PS2 was because it was fun, there were little or no games like it and it had untold amounts of replay value, not to mention 'mess about value' after you had saved the game, saving the game usually meant you could go haywire and do whatever the hell you liked because it wouldn't effect your save. CHEATS AHOY!
GTA4 took a more serious approach in an attempt to be more realistic to say? Feel free to argue against, this is just my perception of it. But this generation has been pretty tough, over the last few years we've seen sandbox games come and throw away every idea we've had of sandboxes since the genre began, every time we think we've seen it all and had all the generic fun we could have from a sandbox, a fallout comes along and kills that idea, or a Just Cause or a Red Dead.
Take Just Cause and Infamous for two prime examples, after playing these games, do you feel somewhat restricted when playing GTA4 again? Do you feel like it's just not as fun as it used to be? Simply because you can cause more mayhem and do more in these other games?
Say GTA5 were to do a GTA4 but in a different location, after playing Just Cause 2 which had all these possible locations stuffed into one megamap and every kind of vehicle possible, would you be that interested in picking up a copy of GTA5?
