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.

    French: Nah, everyone hates them already.

    Russians: Same as Italians.
    Japanese: They never apologized for WWII
    Chinese: Then who will make the consoles to play it on?
    Mongolians: Ah, they never apologized for invading Europe, what, 1000 years ago.
    Germans: Jawohl, sehr gut! Uberprufen Sie aus meinem neuen BMW! Bummsen Mal Wieder! Die Weibchen lieben es!

    The first thing I thought when I read the headline was "oh great, now somebody from San Andreas wants to sue Take-Two Interactive." I'd have to say that this is much, much better news.
