Does the registration of domain names hold the clue to the next title in Rockstar North's record breaking series?
While Grand Theft Auto: Vice City continues to sit pretty atop the charts, braking records left, right and possibly even centre, faint rumblings of the next instalment of the brutal series are beginning to be picked up.
It's been rumoured for some time that the follow-up to Vice City will be based on San Andreas. The evidence for this is clear: there were three areas in the original GTA - Liberty City, San Andreas and Vice City. GTA3 was clearly based on Liberty City, while Vice City speaks for itself, so a San Andreas-based title would make perfect, logical sense.
As ever, Rockstar is keeping its lips tighter than a gnat's arse trapped in a vice, but investigations have uncovered further evidence that points to the verity of this speculation. The domain names www.gtasanandreas.com and www.grandtheftautosanandreas.com were both registered last May, by what appears to be an employee of Rockstar in the US.
While this is not a clear indication that this will be the final title of the game, it seems clear that San Andreas is on the minds of Rockstar staff at least.
