An article on The Inquirer caught my eye today. I was sent the link by a friend and initially dismissed as it seemed completely false information, but as I was sent the link by a couple of other people I decided I'd re-read it and post about it. Stirring up a rumours is now a popular past-time it seems for news sites struggling to gain popularity among the masses.

The article essentially summarises how many games are now moving towards using real life cities as opposed to realistic false ones. They seem to think Rockstar games has "more than probably" situated the next GTA in London, England.

First proof of theory is the fact that Rockstar Games has, more than probably - placed the next installation of Grand Theft Auto franchise in the capital of Blightyland.

There is no fact that Rockstar Games have done this, it is pure speculation. We currently have no official word from Rockstar on the location of the next game, and another thing, why would they shrink down the game from 3 cities in an entire state to the comparatively deminuitive London?

So far all the sites speculating on the next installment of Grand Theft Auto have based their article around unsubstantiated opinions and until we have an official statement from a Rockstar representitive it would be wise not to believe anything you read at this point, rest assured when the setting is revealed you'll know about it from us.

I doubt it will be in London and I also really hope it isn't. If you want a crime game in London just buy the next gen Getaway. GTA Should stick with America.

Next gen getaway is not confimed, the video you've probably seen is merely a graphics show off. GTA London would be awesome.

Are we going to have to drive on the left side of the road and are the steering wheels gonna be on the left side of the car?

Yeah, I'm confused about recent talks about The Inquirer, too. Because over here in America it's a tabloid, a fake magazine((even though people are stupid enough to believe Bigfoot married a guy, and YES, that WAS really an article)).
