GTA - San Andreas Looks to be Next

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-then-you-run-them-over-and-get-your-money-back dept.

Rayonic writes "US publisher Take-Two Interactive went on a pre-Christmas trademark registration spree, the products of which point us tantalisingly towards the likely name of the next installment of the massive Grand Theft Auto series." Of course it won't actually be out for many many many moons, but expect much speculation on this one. I s'pose great game sequels deserve it.

    I wonder if there is going to be some post earthquake looting in the game. That would be a nice feature.

  2. GTA -- from the cops' perspective by Zemrec · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've thought that a great sequel to GTA would be where you play from the cops' perspective. You could start as a rookie out of the academy, and they'd stick you with a partner and you'd have a beat.

    At first it'd be just simple stuff like traffic violations, and work up to more serious stuff like robberies, gang fights, murders, etc. Maybe your partner could be just a tinge on the bad cop side, and you'd get to choose whether to play it by the book or bend the rules.

    It would be sort of like the way "Knights of the Old Republic" does it with Light/Dark Points. If you accept a bribe to let a speeder off, you'd get a "bad cop" point for instance.

    There could be several paths for your character. The good cop path might lead to you becoming police commisioner, and the bad cop one might lead to being a drug lord or mafioso type.

    So many possibilities. Wish I was a video game designer... 8-)
