As you may or may not know by now, the next GTA game has been officially confirmed. Despite random rumours at many sites (not mine, what with us not bothering with news smile ), most of them have been proved wrong.

As many of us (well me at least) hoped, we're off to the uppydowny land of San Andreas, easily my favourite level in the original GTA so this should be good.

PS2 release date is set at October this year (that's only 7 months people!), so I'd expect PC version in what, a years time? Ho hum. But still, all good news.

PS2 splash screen and presumably eventual location for official site can be found here.

The beast rolls on...

    OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  I can not wait!  I wonder how AWESOME this one's going to be...
    Also, since it's in San Andreas, then doesn't that fuel the rumors that it will take place during a massive riot, like the Watts riot??? That would make sense.  
    Nevermind that crap, I don't want to be missunderstood and have someone say that I'm spreading rumors. I just can't wait for this thing to drop! biggrin  biggrin

      Aha...awesome. I had a gut feeling it'd be San Andreas, not Sin City. Hmm...pardon my rather baseless and stupid thinking, but the San Andreas part looks either very classy or very ghetto. I can't wait for GTA:SA. Also, I haven't been here for a while, so...welcome back, me.

      I like the way they wrote San Andreas in old english.

      Plus us Yanks get to play 3 days before you Europeans. I'll post screen shots of the actual game as soon as I get it.

      Only 8 1/2 months till it's here !!!  sigh

      Judging by the font choice,  looks like San Andreas will take place in Los Angeles instead of San Francisco (originally in GTA1). Which is a damn shame because I can already imagine all those Unique Stunts done over the cable cars or Landstalkers racing down Lombardi. cry Or even a driver-sniping range atop the Golden Gate.

      I think a lot of people in the rap/hip-hop community use "Old English" fonts for their jewelry, clothes, etc. Real Los Angeles style.

      GTA is known for scathing parodies of familiar celebrities and events as seen in VCPR.

      Also, the CHP is mentioned in this article...maybe we'll see Ponch on his chopper trying to knock Tommy off his PCJ all Road Rash style with a Tazer and Chain?  laugh 

      Maybe the Diablos and Triads will return with El Burro doing the Tequila Slammer and Uncle Fu's Mandarin Mayhem. And you get to watch Tommy flee in horror when Burro decides to "reward you personal' this time."

      Or Nash Bridges' Stallion replacing the Vice Cops Cheetah.  yes 

      Alcatraz Prison. 'Nuff Said.

      Blow up cable cars and watch 'em fly. Or you can jack a BART. They didn't have public transportation back in GTA1's San Andreas...

        You KNOW that there is going to be a golden gate-type bridge in the game. That's pretty much a given. It's the BIGGEST landmark in California. And it's the most practical thing that they could bring to the game that is a reminder of California. Even if it doesn't take place in San Francisco I'll bet they'll still have it.
        Another thing;  Who do you think the new character will be?  
        Also, I was just pondering this idea and I started thinking; Since this game is in Cali, it is likely( to me) that it would have alot to do with El Burro, right???
        You know, like in VC, donald love was just an apprentice to Avery Carrington, so maybe in this game you will get to see a young El Burro before he becomes the bigshot that he is in GTA3? Maybe, you will even help him on missions and stuff?
        Maybe not? sigh . There is alot of things that it will and could be....

          I can only imagine what kind of crazy shit you will be able to do in this game.  Like Alcatraz..... oh the possibilities smile  biggrin  yes

          It would be probably like Vice city mark 2. More likely to have more killing and action then ANY of the previous GTA games.

It'll have so much more killing and cool guns, and that will mean that its better than anything else, oh boy I can't wait!!! I'll bet you can even pick up hookers!  biggrin biggrin  yes   yes  cool

          well it was inevitable, but still unknown. San Andreas eh? In October? Well I won't set my hope too high, untill I see screenshots. But even then...

          Homosexuality is a very sensitive current issue in the United States right now - see S.F.'s gay marriage rampage - so you know the next GTA's gonna exploit it.  laugh And El Burro apparently swings "that way."

          Let's hope they also bring back the famous G! Conga Line...  yes First it was the Hare Krishnas, then the Elvises...

          Perhaps the game could take place in the 60's or 70's, and you could help out a young Tommy Vercetti before he ends up in prison.  biggrin

            one word; THERE NEEDS TO BE HEAVY MACHINERY!!!!! Like a D11 sized dozer or a big loader.  That would be soooooo awesome( for me anyway ) to be able to drive them around, picking up cars and dumping them or pushing them into the water to build a bridge. That would be so sweet!

            Gladly I have no ps2. The only sad thing is that shit comes out on consoles first. But then, I guess the PC users get the refined version.

            I can see San Andreas being set in the 70s... It's gotta be. Especially with the whole 70s rock comeback, the soundtrack could be awesome.
