GTA 5 breaks entertainment records but Online woes continue

GTA 5 is technically impressive, but after playing State of Decay, I've come to realize how much I need to fill the negative space inside all those black-box buildings.

The world of GTA V feels hollow when 1% of the buildings can be entered. When I drive to what I recognize as the "Commerce Casino" in the real world, I want to go inside!

Agreed. But think how much additional work would have to be done to create unique interiors for every house. It already took a thousand man-years to create that huge virtual place without interiors...

Maybe they could use procedural generation. Introversion software had been working on the tech to do that awhile back for one of their games

i'd personally like to see what would come of putting all of the man hours they spread out over the massive world of GTA, into a single city block/apartment.
