Why does a newer game look more modern? Because it's a newer game that was only released one console generation ago. When GTA 5 came out GTA SA was already 2 gens old and there was a massive improvement in graphics during that time. So obviously even in 2016 SA would look outdated, because it was. And as for the "cartoonish" thing, well that's because the old GTA gameplay wasn't anywhere near as realistic as they are now, so the games didn't require as much realism in their look.
I agree it's hard to get back into those games now, though. I tried that with Vice City but the controls stop me from enjoying it fully, even though I didn't have a problem with them when the games first came out.

@Redstar Yeah when I played GTA SA for the first time in 2013(I was only like 12-13), it felt mind-blowing tho as it felt like a huge upgrade from Vice City which was good too and my first GTA but felt small in map whereas GTA SA had so many features which made me love it but yeah after seeing GTA 5, honestly GTA SA started looking outdated. But I only started playing GTA 5 as an adult in 2024 when I was 23 so for some reason I don't get that novelty or crazy feeling in GTA 5 at 25 now or even at 23 when I played it first time which I got at 12 or 13 while exploring the GTA SA map for the first time and discovering so much whereas as an adult idk why I don't get that fun feeling. Maybe because I am seeing the real-life world more whereas back then my only world was school.

San Andreas clears in my opinion 🤷🏻♂

@Globetrotter927 What do you mean?

@Heroisthebest25 I'm being biased but I think GTA 3 and San Andreas are better than GTA 5 lol. They're more fun to play but that could be the nostalgia talking.
