Only in that those games were not the big leap forward in tech the main numbered games always are.
VC and SA were the same engine as III.
VI is a whole new engine and game systems.
Interesting. It gave me pause, because I kinda saw GTA IV as a step back from what I wanted/expected from the series. It's very gray and realistic. Gone are the random weapon pickups and powerups, kill frenzies and rampages (actually those were removed in SA but you know what I mean). Obviously the graphics were a huge step up. The way you could fly through the windshield and the drunk physics were top notch, and I ended up enjoying the story and the gameplay. It's not a bad game, or a bad GTA by any means. Still, I'd would sooner replay VC or SA than IV.
I liked how GTA V brought back some of the stuff. It's not as arcadey as the old 3D games, but it's more colourful, both in design and the characters. And the mechanic of switching between 3 protagonists works remarkably well and makes it stand out.
