Well this has come out of nowhere, can't wait to see what the trailer has to say about the actual and possible gameplay of GTA5.

Why would they bluff.

GTA London is just wishful thinking, how many GTA games have there been and how many of them have been set in London, there has never been a main game set in London only mission packs.

Setting it in the UK doesnt lend well to the kind of game GTA is. There is no gun culture here.

Actually, there has been one game that has been set in London, The Getaway, and The Getaway:Black Monday (For the PS2).

Additionally, GTA isn't based on true stories, yes things like that may happen in the US (Never been but have watch documentaries about the sort), but London, do have certian crimes that include gun crimes, drug wars and other such, it will be good to see another game set in London since there isn't many, its all based around the US.

Its not going to be in london, the 5 in the GTA logo looks like a US dollar note.

Although I doubt this game will be set in London, but the logo looks no more like the dollar bill than it does a UK £5 note.

Then why does www.rockstargames.com/gtalondon/ lead to the announcement page?

www.rockstargames.com/anythingyouwant leads to that page, it's not London.

I actually think Washington DC could make a TON of sense for a GTA game from the story side of things. Corrupt politicians for starters. And for those who do not know, DC has some of the worst ghettos in the US, crime is literally rampant just a mile or so from the White House, so it makes for a truly interesting dichotomy. It is just the geography that would wind up being very boring for a GTA game.

San Fran or Chicago would be my 2 guesses.

London would be awesome. A remake of Vice City would be great too.

Sucks that that PC wont get this for a looooong time. I hope they fix driving. GTA 4 was fun, but meh on the storyline. I think VC and SA had the best stories.

Shut up its GTA India :)

Jokes apart , i just hope its built rightly for PC , maybe with lesser spec requirements , GTA is something everyone HAS to play for everyday life :p It should be light on systems

It doesnt make sense to do London, there is no gun culture so there would be no valid explanation to have the kind of weapons available for a game set in London.

There is very much a growing gun culture in London. And anyway, you don't see people running around in the US with rocket launchers, it's all massively exaggerated anyway, so...

awesome news, loved GTA IV. i'm pretty sure this will be for the next consoles and PC, and i doubt it'll be in London...the entire franchise is based on mocking/respecting contemporary US culture.

Should be interesting.

Not sure how this is a surprise to anyone though. The major "10th Anniversary" sale and PR campaign that just started last week was a major hint to the imminent announcement of 5.

    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
