i'll go one step further. these other companies have great devs as wel. great graphics guys as well. but they cant pull off a GTA. why? they have to much pressure to RUSH job their games and make that 10 in 10 years just like you said. its not about the best devs. its about giving solid devs TIME to DEV. lol its that simple.
Exactly. I still wouldn't doubt that Take-two tried to put pressure on the boys developing GTAV to get it out sooner. In situations like that you always have some greedy dude up top trying to get his money now and get retired. They had some strong leadership on that development group to be able to stretch out development of the game like they have and add so much detail. At this point though, after seeing how much they can really make, they won't have any argument against taking their time with the next one. I'll wait another 5 years if they put out something like this at the end of the next console generation. Buy a system just for that game.
