There was once a world in which Rockstar published more than two games a decade. Difficult to believe, I know, but having lived through that halcyon period, I would testify to its existence in court.
A game like Manhunt 2 was sandwiched between Vice City Stories and Bully the year before, plus GTA 4 and Midnight Club: Los Angeles the year after. In fact, as a colourful demonstration of how busy Rockstar’s release schedule used to get, consider that the publisher was responsible for no fewer than four takes on Los Angeles over a span of eight years. That’s GTA 5, San Andreas, LA Noire and the aforementioned city racer, all open worlds.
