GTA has been a pretty big mark on this generation. Sadly though, this mark has only been achieved with one game. GTA IV broke sales records and won over critics and gamers alike. While that is an impressive feat for one game, it would have been great to see at least 3 GTA games like we did last generation. Unfortunately, with many side products as well as higher standards making free roam games more laborious, the most we will see of GTA is a mere two games before this generation is over. Knowing that, we know that the next GTA will be another landmark title that rockstar will use to end this generation with a bang and once again silence any pretenders in the industry who try to touch its glory. With that in mind, here are my predictions for the next GTA that are almost sure to come true.
3.It wont be called GTA V.
You may have noticed that I have not once referred to the next GTA as GTA V. There is a reason for that. GTA games have an interesting way of marking sequels. Instead of doing it in a sequential order, GTA games are numbered by generation. GTA III marked the third generation of GTA while GTA IV marked its debut the fourth generation. GTA V will only be made when PS4 and 720 are announced. The only way the next GTA will be known as GTA V is if there really is no more GTA for this generation. If that is the case, this generation has failed completely. That scenario is unlikely though and the next GTA will probably be called GTA:insert setting here.
2.GTA will be set on London.
GTA games so far have followed a pattern. GTA III, Vice city, and San Andreas were all made setting of thier 2D counterparts. The only setting that has not been remade the London version. Rockstar has hinted in interviews that they will most likely not set the next GTA in a US state and want to go more foreign. Following that and the fact that Rockstar has not dont a London setting in a 3D game, I would say it is very likley that we will see a London setting in the next GTA.
1.GTA will be announced in 2012. 2013 release will be massive.
GTA IV took 5 years to develop as did LA Noire and Red Dead Remeption. GTA IV was released in 2008 so we are nearing the 5 year mark since it came out. With that in mind, I would conclude that we will see GTA "V" announced in 2012 at the latest with a relase date set for 2013. This GTA will be the last GTA game of this generation and will end it with a very memorable game to look back on. I have no doubt about this because Rockstar puts everything into thier games and will not let a game of this calibur disappoint gamers. The hype will be huge and the sales may be enough to claim fastest selling games once again.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I've said this before already. London will fail badly, driving on other side of the road is something i would not like to learn. The majority of people that play it is in the Usa so im pretty sure they'll pick an american city.
Lead character WILL BE a Woman. Just for the sake of controversy.
I read an article saying it will be set in Los Angeles.
I would love it to be set in London though!
My money is on a San Andreas setting. Maybe not all of Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas, but some combination of those.
There was a cast list found on a casting website. The project was for Take Two and all the character descriptions sounded as if they would be right at home in GTA. There were a lot of references to California, and none to London, or any other location. There was also a character listed who "lives in the sticks" which makes me thing we will see rural areas return.
And I'm not sure if GTA4 was in development for five years or not, but it definitely wasn't five years between San Andreas and GTA4. San Andreas was out in October 2004. GTA4 was out in April 2008. That's three and a half years. Rockstar favors April and May as of late for release dates (LA Noire, GTA4, RDR) so I am expecting a spring 2012 release date. We still have nine months until then, which leaves more than enough time for Rockstar to announce it. I'm actually expecting an announcement any day now, before the fall releases start pouring in.
I say Paris. hahaha, idea for a mission: the eiffel bridge :D.
