    A little bit more is a giant understatement.

    The Rage 9 game engine is a giant leap forward in many underlying video game systems.

    Rage 8, which powers Red Dead Redemption 2 was basically just a prototype test bed for GTA VI.

    Obviously we’ll have to wait and see what all actually works and got integrated in VI, but consistently the numbered releases of GTA since III have redefined what is possible in gaming and game engines.

      The worlds are more and more impressive, but the core gameplay loop still has not changed much since III.

        The game play loop is the same, but the tech between III and IV is radically different, Euphoria is something special.

          Is that the engine which allows you to simulate a space program in IV? Used to be pretty fun to drive into that swing set just to see where you would end up.
