sigh,as an avid gamer and huge fan of the GTA series I must say that I am thoroughly fed up with Rockstar productions repeatedly revisiting the same cities that they did before.First it was 'Liberyt City'(New York) and now there are rumors that for the 5th edition to the game they may be scoping out and centering a storyline around the American city of Los Angeles.

Ok if they want to leave GTA in America fine because there were some rumors earlier that they might also bring it back to London(remake of GTA 1 and 2),but they could atleast be unbiased with the geograghical locations.How about Washington DC or Chicago?

I dont know if the rumors are factual but it just seems to me that they are constantly retracing their own steps trying to improve on one idea when they could come up with others that are more or atleast equally as exciting.

This is where I originally read the article about the GTA V rumors:

The article:

Could Grand Theft Auto be returning to the West Coast for its next big outing? According to recent rumours that's where the series could be heading, with reports outing Hollywood as the series' next backdrop.

vg24/7 is doing the whispering, as well as claiming that Grand Theft Auto V's announcement is coming up fast – and quite possibly within the next few months as the report makes the surprising claim that it could be unveiled alongside the first public airing of Max Payne 3.

We've contacted Rockstar who have, unsurprisingly, remained tight-lipped, refusing to comment on rumour or speculation.

Grand Theft Auto has been to Hollywood before, of course, with San Andreas' LA flavoured Los Santos featuring the area of Vinewood, Rockstar's own take on Tinseltown.

Would a return to San Andreas – or part of it, at least – fulfil your desires for Grand Theft Auto V, or are you, like us, hoping for something a little different from the game? Let us know in the comments below. -

Ofcourse there have been multiple rumors before but this one is coming from a credible source.There are also rumors that Microsoft may soon be coming out with a brand new game console specifically to meet the requirements for a next generation free roam game such as GTA V.

I hope they pick a different city this time though.

I think it would be pretty cool if they did a southern city like Orlando(I love it there) or even Houston.Probably not gonna happen but any city they choose Im still gonna get the game so I cant complain.

I just hope they dont take all the fun away again like in IV

Didnt they do a game on San Fransisco in one of the Grand Theft Autos?


It wont surprise me if they go to Los Angeles.You have to view these things from an outside U.S. border perspective,from foreign movies to terror plots the focus is either New York or L.A. lol.Just like when we think of other countries.

Example:

Whats the first thing you think of if you are American when you think about the UK?

London for most people right?

So then it makes sense,fair or not.
