GTA4: Sin City

[Fox5]

Bleh, that Las Vegas talk confused me.

Isn't Sin City also the name of a TV sitcom starring Michael J. Fox?

No, that's "sPin city", hehehe.

You say there are two teams, one working on the successor to GTA:Vice City, which is expected to take place in Los Angeles. Then you say there is another team working on "GTA5" for the PS3. Well, if GTA3 is GTA3, then GTA:VC must be GTA:4, right? If that's the case then the Los Angeles one will be GTA5, right? So how can the PS3 one be GTA5 then? Shouldn't that be GTA6? Is that a typo, or is someone making this stuff up very badly?

I've said nothing, I DO quoted a site ... in fact the rumor page of that site. I've also mentioned that in my post, that you've quoted.

GTA: Vice City was never called GTA4, VC is based a tweaked GTA3 engine with new content added.

GTA: Sin City or whatever you want to title it, was not even called GTA4 by IGN, they've quoted Amazon.co.uk and there it's getting interesting: I guess Amazon was a bit to quick to give the next episode of GTA a name, because they've replaced the title with "Grand Theft Auto - Next Episode" within the last 48h. Check out this link, they've really changed it!

I guess, the next PS2 GTA will be based on a even further refined and tweaked GTA3 engine, I think GTA4 will debut on PS3 ... maybe even as a launch title.

PS - that VCN helicopter shot is from GTA:VC. It's not a devshot.

Interesting. So they base their numbering scheme on the engine rather than the game?

GTA2 was a whole new engine compared to GTA? I mean, it does have very large improvements compared to the original GTA(in graphics), but was it actual a new engine?

GTA1

GTA2

gta4.com is registered by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (GTA9-DOM)
gta5.com is registered by some guy from the UK

GTA1 had 3 cities: Liberty City (NYC flavoured), San Andreas (SF flavoured), Vice City (Miami flavoured)

I see pattern here, go figure
