Kane99 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Back in the day it was Driver, then it was the Saints Row Franchise, now days, I could say Watch Dogs, but I don't think even they can match the quality of GTA these days. With that being said, what would you say is the biggest competitor to GTA? You could argue Cyberpunk 2077, but I don't think it comes close in the sense of driving, and all the other little things in the world of GTA. Could we see a game that can actually compete with GTA?

Patrik Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 the beef between Driver and GTA back in the day used to be so funny that you could find them dissing each others in the games lol, about Saints Row, i believe it wasn't on that great level of competition with GTA, not to forget that their games were so unoptimized on PC, let's hope that something that's worth it come to the scene and let us all have fun.

Peterlight Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I think the new cyberpunk 2077 is a great match for GTA but I think the GTA 5 is really making a breakthrough since it was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Red Dead Redemption which is also by Rockstar and CyberPunk 2077 could be a contender, but other than that I can't think of any. If Mafia would become online then maybe they as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Multiplayer exists as an official feature only in GTA 4 (removed later from PC in future patches) and GTA V, which are kind of recent games when Mafia series are existing since 2002, same era when GTA moved to 3D, it's Mafia that couldn't compete, but it's still enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well GTA I think released before Mafia but as you said they moved to 3D at some point (I remember GTA 2 was so funny to play). But yeah I guess I will say there are no competitors as of now for GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA doesn't really have any competitors and any competition they'd face would really have to go above and beyond what GTA currently is which takes quite some doing.

Deus Ex has far more in common with Cyberpunk 2077 than GTA V does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Real shame driver 3 was released before it was finished, when you play the game it's clear it had potential but it was an unfinished mess. Impressive yet empty stages like the hotel on the first stage, no idea how it would of played into the story. I really think had it more time that driver and gta would be neck and neck right now the follow up parallel lines had fantastic gameplay but a dull map driver the 3 had shit gameplay and a fantastic maps.

GTA was still ahead because Liberty City and Vice City were streets ahead of Driver 3. The one that I thought had the most potential to rival GTA was Saints Row and they just went down a very bizarre road which they never recovered from.

Syntax Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 When GTA came out I’d say Saint Row for sure, otherwise it might be Cyberpunk now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If we're going with Rockstar games, then I say RDR2 all the way. It has the same basic plot, but it's put in a different era. If we're going with other developers, then I say The Elder Scrolls franchise. Yeah it's set in a completely different realm (real world vs fantasy world), but the massive popularity of the franchise definitely gives GTA a run for its money.

Vaporpublico Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I don't really think Cyberpunk 2077 can be a ¨GTA game¨, it is more of a Borderlands-Far Cry game. Rockstar has really taken the trophy since not alot of devs do ¨gta clones¨ anymore. Sleeping Dogs was really nice tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how they did Hong Kong so detailed, but let's be honest that's I think as close as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really - some of Sleeping Dogs' mechanics were influenced by GTA but they're two different games with two different goals in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
