Rumor - Grand Theft Auto: London for PS3 in Q4 2006
From Joystik:According to an alleged employee of Rockstar North in Glasgow, Scotland, the next installment in the GTA series "will be titled Grand Theft Auto: London and will take place in the Great City of London in 1997."
According to our source (who admittedly doesn't have the most perfect spelling), the "3 Island" system will be replaced by a new "North, East, South, West" system, and the main character will be an ex-gangster starting off in the "rough-and-tumble east end of London." Unlocked regions are to include the North End, South End, and West End, in order. The game is supposed to be about 60% finished, with the graphics and physics engines both completed. The focus is now mainly on the game's story component. The game is currently set to launch with the Playstation 3 in North America and Europe in Q4 2006. With about a year's work already done, the PlayStation 3's "fantastic graphical power" should provide some better horsepower under the hood of the sandbox series.
I'm guessing this has rumor written all over it, but hey, I'd love a new next-gen GTA as much as the next guy. I'm not crazy about London though... something about GTA's satirical take on American culture was half the fun of the GTA series for me. Hopefuly their humour will translate well to a European setting. Who knows, maybe Liberty City will be a place you can fly to when yr done running around London? Either way if its going to be a PS3 exlusive count me in for a PS3 pre-order! ;)
