Predictions for the Next GTA.

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.
