When comparing it to **[Red Dead Redemption 2](https://viciados.net/games/red-dead-redemption-2/)**, **Carr**notes that, aside from the raw resolution and fidelity of the new hardware, the essence of the first game proves that it was “decades ahead of its time, honestly.” ## Rockstar Games uses its games as tests for the RAGE Engine toward something bigger **Rockstar**is a master at using its own releases as testing grounds for the **RAGE Engine**. **Carr**highlighted how the **GTA 4** expansions (**The Ballad of Gay Tony** and **The Lost and Damned**) were crucial to the franchise’s future. He cites the iconic "**Three Leaf Clover**" bank heist from **GTA 4**and the narrative crossover of the expansions as the blueprint for the character-switching mechanic. This culture of "recycling and improving" good ideas in the **RAGE Engine** is what underpins **Carr**’s predictions for **GTA 6**. He uses **Dead Eye** (the slow-motion feature from **Red Dead Redemption**) as an example, which was adapted in **GTA 5** as the special abilities of **Michael**, **Franklin,** and **Trevor**.
