Rockstar ready to release next GTA by end of 09

According to Loose Talk in the latest Game Informer, RockStar North is already working on the next instalment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, which should be ready for release this holiday season.

"We're not talking about new DLC or a collection of previously available DLC, we're talking about a full retail game. We expect this title to follow the suit of previous GTAs and use a subtitle such as GTA: San Andreas, etc. Tokyo might be a possible setting for the game, but details are non-existent at this time." - Game Informer Issue 190

It wouldn't be surprising for RockStar to release the next GTA this soon – as you may recall, Vice City hit the shops only a year after Grand Theft Auto III was released for PlayStation 2.

Stay tuned for more details as they break.

...Or maybe just GTA: Vice City again? I've been saying for years that they're just going to rotate around Liberty City, Vice City, & San Andreas, & so far I've not yet been wrong (apart from GTA 2, & the GTA: London 1969 & 1964 expansion packs for GTA 1). They're the same cities (granted San Andreas was turned from a city into a state, but it's still the same point) that the game has used ever since first the game & I don't see them moving from that at the point in time. And who wouldn't love a high-def version of Vice City? I know I freakin' would.

Vice City is thee most if not then one of there best selling games they have made and i heard that it only taken them 9 months to make.

I think IV might've out sold VC but I could be wrong. I know IV did amazing in it's first week. As for where I'd like for this to be, I wouldn't mind seeing them redo VC. Would look pretty cool. Just hopefully they do something a little more original story wise if they do go with VC again.

Where ever it is, i hope you can buy places again like on the first Vice City like new save houses, taxi firm, print factory etc.

Looks like the rumor has been put to rest:

can't wait to buy this one either lol

I definitely can't wait for this game. I played GTA IV and I loved the heck out of it. I hope that it takes place in Tokyo. Would kinda fit perfectly if you think about it.
