GTA 5 and Skyrim: Back to the future

Like a boomerang, these games return again and again. Recently, Rockstar Games released his most successful Grand Theft Auto again; This time for the current consoles. In players, the game is not well away - at least not when you look at the brutal scores on Metacrit. The same game of 2013, only warmed up and packed .

Also The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is such a candidate. Bethesdas Roleplay Sensation even appeared earlier, and in 2011. Since then, the game has returned several times: In a Legendary Edition, then in a Special Edition for PS4 and Xbox One, later for the Nintendo Switch, then as well VR version and finally in a new Anniversary Edition for the ten-year anniversary.

Grand Theft Auto 5 or online is still welcoming hundred thousand players daily and Skyrim continues to maintain numerous fans with a active modding community . There's nothing wrong with that as long as it's fun - and that's exactly what games should.

Finally, gaming companies like Rockstar have no reason to rush another hit when the predecessor still flushes millions into the cash registers today. In addition, a live service game such as GTA freezers eats resources that are then missing in a new development - and stretch the development time.
