Rockstar Evasive on New GTA Rumours
Favourite flavour enhancer and seasoning at the ready!
From The Lost and Damned DLC
US mag Game Informer is apparently reporting that the next full, home console-based GTA game will be out by Christmas.
PSU quotes the mag as reporting, "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."
Guess what Rockstar has to say on the subject? "We don't comment on rumour and speculation", SPOnG was told. Frankly, with the source of the report unknown, SPOnG remains extremely sceptical.
It's not entirely implausible. With the game engine for GTA3 established, it didn't take Rockstar North too long to turn out a new title - there was only a year between GTA 3 and Vice City. That said, the scope and scale of those titles is dwarfed by GTAIV, and let's not forget that Rockstar still seems to be blowing a fair bit of its development wad on the protracted Xbox 360 DLC.
Basically, make sure you're liberal in your application of salt with this one.

Perhaps someone has caught wind of the release schedule at Rockstar and just seen something before Christmas. Here's me betting it's a disc version featuring both DLC packs. I'll put £50 on it and will be back next Christmas to collect.
Ah-thang-yew!!

GTA in japan? Not a bad idea, and would certainly help sell it there, just like its stablemate Yakuza series.
