[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn’t count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]

Same goes to Witcher 1 -> 3 to 3 -> 4 and almost Gta 1 -> 5 to 5 -> 6, and many more franchises. Why is it happening?
Demon Souls - DS3 to DS3 - Elden Ring wasn’t too far off either.

And we got Armored Core soon after ER. FromSoft still puts out games reasonably often, while still being high quality. Some people may not like every game, but I don’t think anyone can say they’re putting out garbage like some other studios.
Expectations have gotten higher. If they were still making 2d top down GTA games I don’t think it’d take very long to make a new one. I also don’t think many people would buy them.
Imagine how much more difficult GTA5 was to create compared to GTA1 or 2, it’s the same for every long lived franchise.
People are spoiled for choice so devs have to entice people with something new, making the “same” game with the same graphics every time is a hard sell in today’s market
