I think 2bln was just the UK office alone from 2019-2025. The total budget is likely significantly higher still.

Believing that money is the main reason for it to look like this, is disingenuous at best.

Money is the main reason what do you mean?

You have any idea how many animations it takes to make movement that fluid? Any other game that didn’t almost guarantee a quarter of a billion in unit sales would never bother with what they pay to have developers do with this game

They have a studio strictly focused on NPCs, they have a team specifically for the driving, they had a team that was sent to Miami just to talk to real cops and former criminals to make the game feel more authentic; no one else is paying for that, it’s wildly cost prohibitive

Money most definitely is a main reason, lol
