Take-Two has stated that the Grand Theft Auto franchise will avoid releasing yearly titles like the Call of Duty games to keep interest high.
(Grand Theft Auto V, PS3, Xbox 360)
@BioDio And all that manpower could be utilized in contributing to other IP. Notice how R* is closing it's other branches other than North? If the GTA series start to stagnate, they can no longer support themeselves.
Good. Open world games on a yearly release schedule just isn't a business model I would recommend following. Just look at how it's messed with the Assassin's Creed series. If Ubisoft hadn't insisted on a holiday 2012 release for AC3 and waited until 2013 then the game probably wouldn't have felt so rushed and buggy.
Rockstar revolutionizes their gta series far more than any game anyone ever made in a series. It is no wonder they take time. Not to say call of duty bo2 sucks because it really doesn't but gtas quality is beyond anything. I would even say beyond skyrim as well.
#1 is GTA.

In my humble opinion they have published the best value for money multiplat games this gen.
They seem to understand gamers better then most of the others and they seem to really give their devs time to create quality games.
Must respect to you.
Better to really wait some for a really awesome game than have a ok one every year...
Oh People this gen are making me sick for real -.-" .
It's not like Rockstar is even capable of releasing a GTA game yearly.
Comparing GTA to CoD?
I mean, what's next?; Who's the better platformer, Mario or Kratos?
/sarcasm
Well, the combat could be arguable;
Kratos relies on the gods to grant him power,
Mario will slay you with a turtle shell.
Rockstar has never released yearly Grand Theft Auto titles, so why would they start now? Same goes for loadouts and kill-streaks.
