http://games.ign.com.../1210615p1.html About time if you ask me... The official trailer comes out on Nov. 2. Next location? Next character? New era? New features? Tie-ins to GTA4's storyline? Speculate away. My 2 cents: the "V" logo, upon closer examination, seems to be styled like US currency (same font for the "Five", and the green pattern on the "V". At this point I'm not sure if that points to the theme or the location (or both). For the former, it could pretty much mean anything... Money and crime pretty much go together, I guess. For the latter, that more or less narrows it down... Las Venturas/Las Vegas could be represented by money, I guess. On the other hand, I doesn't have quite a special relation with Vice City, San Fierro or Los Santoss. It could have one with Liberty City, considering all the latest Wall Street issues, but I doubt they'll return to LC right away. What I'd like to think? Those greens are a reference to the Federal Government, and GTA is headed to a new location: Capital City a.k.a. Washington DC. I could see a lot of interesting tie-ins with current affairs, politics, the military and espionage. The GTA series has seen its fair share of politicians and shady government characters (Vice City's congressman Alex Shrub, San Andreas' Mike Toreno, GTA4's United Liberty Paper guy, TLAD's creepy Tom Stubbs, and I'm probably forgetting a lot of other secondary and radio characters.) It could make for a pretty interesting experience if those characters all met in the same city. On the other hand, the evidence from the past few years all pointed to Los Santos. The greens could be a reference to the theme rather than the location - money imagery is often closely related to the hip-hop culture, and LS seems to be a fitting location for that. I'm not expecting a different era this time around - pretty sure it's going to be a recreation of modern-day Los Angeles.
