I mean, I feel like even the jump between 4 and 5 wasn't that massive. San Andreas to 4 went from chunky polygons to rather realistic graphics. GTA 5 feels almost like a HD remaster in comparison.

But of course, there may be a difference in expectation, since there were five years between 4 and 5, and currently scheduled to be twelve years between 5 and 6.

advanced tech is not what I'm looking for from GTA 6.

The obsession gamers have with "good graphics" is at a point where we're seeing diminishing returns. Do games need to look any better than they did in the PS3/360 Era? Not really. Can they look much better? I guess? But who cares? I don't need realistic horse testicle physics. I need a fun game to play!!!
