  GTA 2 didn’t connect not because it looked slightly different than GTA 1. This was the “transition to 3D” era and people gravitated towards such games, like Driver.

  At release you couldn’t even reverse one-way roads in C:S1. Comparing it to C:S2’s road tools is hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.

  C:S2 is likely too ambitious. Doing too many new things at once instead of incremental change.

  And C:S1’s bar to clear was SimCity 2013. C:S2’s bar to clear was C:S1 with several years worth of content updates

  This was the first GTA I’ve ever played. I still remember a lot of the soundbites. The demo had a 5 minute time limit after which the character just exploded.
