Next Grand Theft Auto due Q4 2004


Recommended Posts

That question was answered this morning at the 20th Annual Technology Conference in New York City by Cindi Buckwalter, executive vice president of Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Vice City publisher Rockstar Games. As part of a presentation on Take-Two's 2004 business plan (broadcast on the Web), Buckwalter confirmed that the next Grand Theft Auto is slated for Q4 2004. "In the back half of '04, Q4," she said, "we have targeted Grand Theft Auto 5 or the next version of Grand Theft Auto."

Unsurprisingly, Buckwalter was mum when it came to the next game's subject matter, although Las Vegas- and Los Angeles-inspired scenarios have been rumored. "It has not been named," she stated. Her copresenter, Take-Two CFO Karl Winters, was similarly cautious, saying, "I want to be prudent about our comments. We're very excited about the brand. We're excited about it. We're giving it a breather in the marketplace, and we think that it will all come together for us next year."

However, Winters was optimistic about the game's chances. "The mountain top is continually higher," said Winters. "We had a lot of questions about how we could possibly create something that could compete with Grand Theft Auto 3. None of us who were sitting here a year ago would have suggested we would have the type of success we had with Vice City."

Schweet. I always thought GTA3 > GTAVC. I like the style of GTA3 over the one of VC. I hope GTA5s scenario will be in the present again, with nice cars.

Gotta agree with that. These dev's will be disappointing me if that happens again.

Anyways, if it does come in time for the PC, I hope they don't have insanely hard missions.

Probably because pirating a game on a PS2 or an XBox is harder... :whistle:

I will pay for the next gta series if it comes to the pc :p

But rumours have it that they are redoing it from scratch.. The grafics engine and everything.. And it will probebly take place in San Andreas..

Is it coming to the console in Q4 2004? Then it will be on pc Q2-3 2005 ? VC was released a long time after the ps2 debute...

I want it now! :p I cant wait!
