I' m a sucker for GTA games even though I' ve only ever finished two of them; GTA and GTA3. The funny thing is I' m not too bothered about the next game now and probably won' t be up until about the time it comes out. Same thing happened with San Andreas and Vice City. Ok, so I bought a PS2 for number 3 but was dissapointed in it Vice City is clearly the game 3 should have been but San Andreas is just insane in scale.

Yeah San Andreas is huge!

I was impressed with GTA:LCS on PSP. It shows what the unit can do...

The singleplayer in Liberty City Stories is a bit meh compared to any of the PS2 games, but it' s worth it solely for the multiplayer - if you' re into that sort of thing and have like-minded, PSP owning mates.

Next GTA set in European settings was the obvious progression, hope that is the case. Americans will buy it for the GTA name alone, but it could be re-subtitled for that market to increase appeal...

GTA: Lardy Tourists Edition, GTA: We' re not in Kansas anymore or GTA: We' re off to London to visit the Queen.

They do need to innovate more, and not just up the scale and make it prettier. Anyways, San Andreas was too big, imho.

I doubt Rockstar would be able to re-cteate London to the extent that SCEE' s London Studio will in the next Getaway. The original and Black Monday had some major gameplay flaws, but they did a decent job of re-creating the feel of the city.

I' m hoping Rockstar actually decide to choose a different UK city than the overused capital. Manchester or Liverpool would work well!

I also hope that they re-create actual cities, instead of just basing them on real ones.

I' m keeping my eye on Saint' s Row, but i doubt it' ll be any good!

KingPin is the only real crime game. I just love the Quake 2 engine!

Not saying this to be offensive(I am half british anyway) but perhaps the protagonist could be a mysterious London bomber on the run. I think that would be pretty neat.

ORIGINAL: Marink

WTF???

SIX european cities, and you think it would be cool to play as a London bomber?!

D1CK!

What' s up with you? I' m not trying to offend anyone! The series is about crime and sh1t.

Rockstar wouldn' t even try to replicate a real city, and rightly so. One of the biggest problems with games like Getaway and True Crime is that real cities just aren' t as fun to play in as the hyper-real cities that Rockstar create for that specific purpose. I suspect more likely, the ' european cities' of GTA4 (if that' s the plan), will just evoke feelings of their host countries - e.g. parts of all of England rather than just of London.

As for the idea about a bomber, it' s a ridiculous one even just on the basis that it would hurt sales! It' s just too sensitive an issue to include, it would add nothing to the experience and it would turn many people off buying the game (and would make for a very short game anyhoo... level 1, blow yourself up, Game Over you lose).

However, it will be interesting to see how well V for Vendetta does over here, and how much the original story is toned down.
