Haha, fair enough.

Looking at those dates, would anyone rule out R* returning to Vice City on the ten year anniversary of the release of Vice City?

I hate to sound like one of those guys who reads too much into the most minute of details but...the styling of the of the number 'V' on the poster doesn't scream Vice City to me.

[S.Red please]

I think they'll release it next summer, between May-September. I know they haven't done that with GTA before but February/March is too soon, they won't wait a year I don't think. Even if they did, I can't see them going head to head with Call of Duty, no matter how big it is sales will be damaged by going head to head with it and they won't do that. They normally realease when nothing else big is, so that rules out October time for Fifa.

It doesn't matter when they release it. No other game can compare or go head to head with GTA really.

Nor me, but they announce the game on the week of the ten year anniversary of III, and on the actual three year anniversary of Jack Thompson's disbarment. It seems that R* pick their dates carefully.

Everyone else will be shitting themselves just now waiting to see if they have to push games back or bring them forward to avoid clashing with this.

[Convectuoso]

edit.

[Gobias Industries]

Haha! I just read some tripe article on hexus.net where they were suggesting there are rumours that Officers Tenpenny and Pulaski will make a return in a present-day LA based GTA V.

I'll let you guys figure out why that's utter bullshit on your own.

[CorKopite]

How have I only seen this now. Fucking hell, great news. Hopefully back to San Andreas.

What. A. Game.

[RedSandgrounder]

Arkham City and Red Dead Redemption have really raised the bar in your absence, GTA. The balls in your court.

[Anywhichwayicant]

Just noted this.


I hope to be cruising pass the Four Courts and the Ilac Centre

It gives the impression of money, and youcould associate Miami or LA with money so it could be either.

Screams Vegas to me mate. Though if I'd have to wager I'd say it's a San Andreas re-visit. LA, San Francisco and Vegas.

[Pride-Of-The-Midlands]

Would love this to be set in England.

[TheKid.]

It won't be

[Something Else]

It will be in America, and it will take the piss out of America, it will be very good

[Beav]

If its back to how awesome Vice City and San Andreas were then I'm excited. If its the same as GTA 4 then im not.

[blah]

Another GTA set in London would be exciting but I don't think us Americans would take too well at driving on the WRONG side of the road.

You obey traffic laws in GTA? You may be missing the point...

Agreed, never even got any where near completing GTA 4, I got bored of it after not too long

He must mean the pavement on the wrong side of the road.

[hesbighesred]

I really hope this will be set in Suburbia, and you steal motorised lawn-mowers.

Or set in a fairground, and you go on dodgem rampages.

Or set in a playground, and you have 'Bugsy Malone' style peddlable vehicles of all descriptions, plus weaponry like catapults, purple nurples and aggressive raspberrying. With Tarantino style dialogue. Yeah. That would be epic. Make it so, Rockstar.

[TheKid.]

Pretty sure rockstar have already made that last one...

Nah. Bully doesn't have the vehicles!

My kind of thinking. In San Andreas you could drive around on them. Remember stroking one from a mansion in the hills and cruising back to the hood on one with C.J

I stop at every red light, you guys don't? I'd be trilled if they made it in London but I kinda see them skipping Vice City because it seems like a small setting for the capabilities of modern consoles. Doesn't seem like you could do as much with Miami as you could with NYC/LA. Then again, why would they skip a city in their pre defined trifecta of Liberty/Vice/San Andreas? Guess we'll find out in the coming weeks.

That game was insane. jet packs, harrier jets, a range of aeroplanes, from old wartime junk planes to jumbo jets... the cars with hydraulics! The trains, tractors, combine harvesters in the country...

Thinking about it, I'd actually be more than happy if they just copied San Andreas in terms of story and missions, but upgraded the environment to GTA4 standards.

You kidding? Imagine what they could do with Miami now. A sunbleached archipelago with rich latin heritage. They could include parts of the everglades as well. It would be a stunning location for a GTA.

San Andreas was one of the best games of all time. I'd still be playing it now if I had my PS2.

Yep. I also loved the customisability, dual wielding and experience system. Top game.

That said, there is something about the feel of GTA4 that is absolutely and utterly stupendously awesome. Massively undermined by Brucie who makes me want to torture all the people involved in his creation to death.

The mobile phone, social bollocks can fuck right off too. By all means have it as an option, but then leave it as an option. Don't actually make importantish things dependent on it - GTA: SA had that side of it spot-on as well.

I they include the Everglades they have to have two things:

1) Those hovercrafty boat things with the massive fans on the back.
2) Gentle Ben as an NPC companion.

...with that exact music playing as a default when you have him on your hovercraft boat thingy.

Also alligators as wieldable weapons.

[BazC]

I agree, I actually likes all that training, customising, experience type stuff for CJ. It was like an RPG in that you train your character, but it wasn't so time consuming as to actually being a chore or a distraction from the main game. Which is perfect. Lift a few weights, grab a slice of pizza, jump back into your harrier jet and away you go.

Exactly. It never became a chore, yet they replaced it with that 'keep your friends happy by getting them pissed and having to wobble the pad for 2 hours' system that actually WAS a chore.

That said, the first time I drove down Liberty's 'Time Square' equivalent in a fat car with music blaring was one of the most truly epic moments I've had in gaming.

I thought about the Everglades too but that was the only setting I could think of that they could add. NYC has the 5 boroughs and Jersey. Miami has well, Miami. I'm sure they'll do it justice but it seems like it would be limited compared to Liberty/NYC and San Andreas/LA. Maybe a Rockstar style take on Disney World?
