The Next Grand Theft Auto
 

I've been trying to figure this out over the past few days, doing research online and stuff, but I can't find anything... A customer came into work the other day asking if the latest Grand Theft Auto: Detroit had come out. Thinking that they were referring to San Andreas, I show the customer the SA box, but my assistant manager says that the next GTA has been announced, GTA: Motor City.

But I go online and I can't seem to find anything about it... the only bit of info relevent I find is that a city in Midnight Club 3: DUB Ed. (a Rockstar Games production) is based on Detroit. Perhaps they made a mistake? Or is GTA: Motor City real? (it sounds plausible...)

If it is real, I might have to pick up a copy, just because.

Tell the customer to get off the drugs ;) Nothing's been announced, it'd be impossible _not_ to hear about it. Unless you lived under a rock in a cave on Mars with your fingers in your ears and your eyes poked out.

I am sure Rockstar trademarked loads of different names for future websites. It was in the press before they announced San Andreas. Tokyo was rumoured to be one but I dont remember anything about Motor City

I was hoping for GTA: London :( ... Detroit sounds kinda lame, as does Tokyo to be honest. Moscow would be cool though, the mob practically runs the city... and the country.

I've been looking around online but haven't found anything ethier, your customer must have been mistaken. Plus it would be way to early for the next GTA i still haven't finished SA and remember how long we had to wait for that.

Oddly enough, the ex pack for the first GTA that was set in London.

I know... I'm just saying it would have been a pretty cool do-over in the new 3d GTA world. Much like Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas.

I was hoping for one in Chicago, only cuz I lived there for so long. I'd even take a "True Crimes" style game in Chi-Town, as I'd know my way around the game before I ever started it.

Ever tried The Getaway?
I am pretty sure thats based around London and is a GTA clone. Obviously no way near as good

The next GTA is on the PSP. I belive it is set in liberty city but an alternate plot. So I have heard, don't quote me.

Think they might have done something similar on Grand Theft Auto Advance. I know it had the graphics of the original GTA series but with plotlines closer to the GTA3 etc models.

As above, dont quote me :D

The last interview I read was that the GTA franchise was a trilogy that ended with San Andreas.

Next GTA game will be on the PSP, then the real next GTA game will be on PS3 and/or Xbox 2.

From what I've heard, the PSP game is supposed to be a prequel to GTA: San Andreas, following Carl Johnson around Liberty City.

Well from what I've heard, the PSP GTA is based in Liberty City.

Looks like its all one mans word against anothers here :)

Hah! I dont believe that for a second.

GTA: SA was one of the highest selling games of the year, and is Rockstar's biggest cash cow. I wouldnt see them stopping any time soon. ;)

When do you think they will come out with GTA: Salt Lake City... or GTA: Des Moines?

/sorry

GTA: Fargo.

As an interesting aside (I hope), yesterday I was at my friend's place watching him play GTA: San Andreas. 2 hours later we rented "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle," and stuck it it the PS2. As soon as we hit "play" a message comes up on the screen saying:

"the parental content settings on this unit will not allow this movie to play."

We got around it, but you have to wonder how Harold and Kumar would be worse to watch for a kid than San Andreas, which presented no such obstacles.

yeah the PS2 will do that. it likes to have a parental control for pg13 movies (predator) and no control for "R" (Not another Teen Movie)
its kind of cracked out but there shouldnt be a password on it unless someone fiddled with it

Happened this weekend. The default password is 1234

Thanks guys. We actually created a new password on the spot (it wasn't looking for an old one), but I appreciate your help.

Right after Vice City came out I was driving around my town and looking around and thought it would be sorta interesting if they made a GTA that took place in a very Suburban sort of town where there usually isn't much crime if any at all and how interesting it would be to see them set up a Citizen Crime Watch sort of thing and how you get around that and blend in with the other people.

Then of course my town made national news when those 4 guys killed those 6 people over and XBox and it no longer seemed as innocent of a place to live.

Heck no, GTA: Tokyo would be awesome.. actually, if they could just bust out a GTA: Japan.. that would be sweeeet. then incorporate arcades with mini-games such as:

- a dance dance revolution sorta thing
- saki drinking
- epic katana battles
- large scale mecha fighting
- large scale godzilla / mothra fighting
- hello kitty stabbing action
- some sort of "the ring" parody, where you're goin round trying to kill a creepy girl who comes out at you through TVs
- and karaoke..

then add underground style street racing, along with Initial D style drift racing, and a really twisted kill bill sorta storyline with katanas and traditional honour. None of this gangsta G crap.. In other words, milk all of the japanese pop culture, semi take the piss out of it and i'd be way keen to pre-order a year before it was released.

sweet.. like a bat.

Yeah, the Japan thing sounds good. Work in the Yakuza.

And, just imagine... Hijacking a bullet train.

Holy hell. I hadn't even thought about the bullet train thing...

Mark another down for GTA: Tokyo.

The Trilogy they speak of is GTA3 > Vice City > San Andreas. All three of these games had stories that tied together somehow. The next GTA is said to be a whole new beginning/engine/everything.
Another vote to GTA: Tokyo.

whatever it is i hope they have some sort of mulitplayer or even online feature

You both are correct, as Carl Johnson was in Liberty City before San Andreas.

So, is the one coming out on PSP with Carl Johnson in it? I preordered it when I preordered my PSP, but I don't actually know when it comes out. Oh well, at least it's paid for already.

Oh, and yet another vote for GTA: Tokyo, not that it makes a difference.

While Tokyo would be cool, I still think the greatest POSSIBLE Grand Theft Auto game would be set in Vegas.

Think about it - Grand Theft Auto: Sin City. A city that is literally, blatantly run by the mob. Crime and vice capitol of the world. Holy hell, I don't think anything could be better than this.


Of course, GTA: Fargo sounds pretty enticing, too.

guys...you got it all wrong..the next GTA is gonna be...wait for it...

GTA:Lancaster

yeah..thats right. you play as Jebidiah, J.C.'s right hand man...watch the parish go nuts as you jack a dual horse drawn horse and buggie... get ezekial to help you raise a barn...speical "renegade" butter churning missions, and new in 2006, drive by fruitings.

*crosses fingers*
x-mas better hurry up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what Las Venturas is in GTA: San Andreas?

I think so... but it's not the same. It's one section of a larger game. There's easily enough for a large game in the city itself. As it is, it feels kind of half-assed.

I want more landscape! More than a minute of flight like in SA ;) The jet rocked, but man, it's all over so quick. Ten cities! A REAL state, not some countryside!

I thought the next one (for a home console) was supposed to be called simply, GTA 4. (for the neXtBox/PS3)

In our computers we've got GTA/PSP reportedly coming sometime in May.

I dunno... I think the one on PSP is just gonna be called "Grand Theft Auto" and be similar to GTA3 but not a direct port. My guess is that the next console GTA will be on PS3 and will just be called GTA4. The trilogy on PS2 all used the same engine pretty much and I would assume they're making a whole new engine on PS3... Of course I'm just predicting the future, no evidence here... although I did guess that the next GTA after vice city would be san andreas, but that's just because the first GTA had liberty city/vice city/san andreas as its levels.

Nice deduction with San Andreas, I never thought about it like that. Hey did they use those names? or did they use New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco etc?

Since GTA seems to be getting bigger and bigger are we headed for "GTA Galaxies"? :crazy:
