13 years of development since the last release. Hope the last mile is not excruciating bug fixes.

- gjsman-1000 1y agoNah; we'll find out they reset development four times or something as scope expanded and hardware became more powerful; and so it's nothing but bugs and still rushed to the deadline. To me this screams scope creep, development hell, and constant redoing of existing work; and good luck not turning into design-by-committee when that happens. (Edit: As the comment below points out, this happened to Windows Vista. There are plenty more examples though - Metroid Prime 4 was even announced by Nintendo, before being completely scrapped and rebuilt for another 6 years, finally coming out this year.)
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoThat was the story of Windows Vista.
- Insalgo 1y agoAnd Cyberpunk 2077

- jayd16 1y agoWell it's certain like going to be 3 bug fix years after 10 dev years... But making prototypes and throwing them away is expected. It's not like white knuckling 13 year old designs is a smart idea either. The reality is almost certainly that GTA Online took a lot of the focus for many years.

- braebo 1y agoWasn’t it just a couple years ago now where they were in early dev stages which leaked thanks to some kid hacking their systems via slack or something?
