OOOoooh, fuck!

Not another one.

I think the chance of a new GTA next year is about as high as a new Zelda: somewhere between 0.1% and 0.2%.

Yup, just like GTA IV was supposed to launch Q4 2007 and was pushed back to Q2 2008. Even if it was scheduled, it wouldn't meet it's initial release date. When has Rockstar ever met an initial release date?

Well GTA IV was thoroughly boring and mostly crap. I wonder what stereotyped character they're going to put in the next one. Not like I care, it'll be as bland and boring as the other ones.

I would be incredibly surprised if this is ready for Christmas '09.

2009? Yeah right. More like 2011.

I would say this is a tough one to swallow but not impossible. To really know the chances we would need to know the size of Rockstar's staff and has it increased. Also are there any other games or downloadable content being worked on? What is there department structure. If you have separate teams working on game engine upgrades, new downloadable content, and one working on a new game, maybe it would be possible.

Right, and maybe I can whistle the star spangled banner out of my ass.

I think GTA4 turned a lot of fans off from the series and a quick turnaround will cause a rockstar to only generate a fraction of the sales gta4 produced. They need to wait at least two years in order for fans can get the bad taste of GTA4 out of their mouth and be willing to invest in a new GTA.

Where would it be anyways? Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, or Dubai would all make interesting new locations. If they want to stay domestic Washington DC is about the last really interesting new place to go. I don't know of fans would put up with a return to an old city like Vice or one of the San Andreas Cities. It also seems unlikely that were going to get multiple cities again but if they go that route I'd loved to see a fictional England get the San Andreas treatment with London as the centerpiece.

Hahahahahaha oh man, that is histarical...

It took Rockstar years and years to get GTAIV. The chance that GTAV would come out in 09 is about the same as seeing the revival of the Virtual Boy.

Besides, Rockstar is working on DLC for GTAIV that is supposed to come out this year. Why would they make another game when they are still making DLC for the previous one?

And even if it does, you won't see it on PC for another 6 months after christmas. Only downside to not owning a console and putting all your cash into the 40-foot impenetrable fortress you call a gaming PC, well I do at least, you guys probably have other names, like Clive.

yeah gta V probably is a bit far tbh, though i was expecting a follow on featuring one of the other realms being vice city or san andreas, so who knows :D

I think the better question then "when" is "Will I be able to fly again?"

I just want my damn tank back... other than that, it can wait.

GTA5: Console release, 2010 (not any sooner)
Following that, badly ported port for PC comes out in 2011. 1 patch, no further support. IF there will be a port.

Fingers crossed for London... And the 'funny' back and the Dodo.

No chances right?

I hope they do go back to their roots with this one. I don't mind the realism, I just wish the missions won't be the same, drive there, cap a few gangsters and unlucky civvies, drive back. Oh, and, please let us build our gang and what's not.

In this short a time span, I doubt it, if it is released this year, expect a piece of shit!

Another major GTA game coming out in 2009? Absolutely no chance. Rockstar put their all into GTA4, there's no way they were making the next one on the side. It just sounds ridiculous. GTA4 was the biggest GTA yet, it was huge, and you want another one the next year?

Besides, that'd be horrible, it'd be a rushed piece of shit.

I'm perfectly happy to wait for the next GTA to come out whenever Rockstar feels it's ready. I have plenty of upcoming 2009 games to play, as well as some '08 ones I never got around to.

God I must be the only person on the face of earth that liked GTA IV! All I hear is people bitching about it! Well I doubt the new GTA will come out this year. In 2010 maybe, but not 2009.
I hope that they will give us our planes back and have more of the stuff that made the series great (tankz ftw!). I hope they keep the shiny new engine though :) Oh and of course multi player :D

It's been 9 damn months! Where is it!?

Look at the date of the original post, then look at the date of yours.

That is why it was called a rumour

I doubt its in a now necro'd and thus misleading thread.

(I hate when news is necro'd thus confusing me)

Have you not heard of a little game called Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword?

That is coming out in 2011. So it is highly likely that a new GTA will come out.
They have the this-gen engine which they used to run IV so it is highly possible

Well this was fail.

You just quoted a post from over a year and a half ago. Skyward Sword wasn't announced yet. Unless Nintendo releases it within 3 months, his post won't be wrong.

They are more than welcome to make another GTA if they want. I'm not buying it.
