Rumor - GTA: London for PS3 in Q4/2006 - briefly
(hx) 12:55 AM CET - Dec,28 2005 - Post a comment / read (3)
Joystiq.com currently has a story up that the next installment in the GTA series will be titled Grand Theft Auto: London and will take place in the Great City of London in 1997:

According to our source (who admittedly doesn't have the most perfect spelling), the "3 Island" system will be replaced by a new "North, East, South, West" system, and the main character will be an ex-gangster starting off in the "rough-and-tumble east end of London." Unlocked regions are to include the North End, South End, and West End, in order. The game is supposed to be about 60% finished, with the graphics and physics engines both completed. The focus is now mainly on the game's story component. The game is currently set to launch with the Playstation 3 in North America and Europe in Q4 2006. With about a year's work already done, the PlayStation 3's "fantastic graphical power" should provide some better horsepower under the hood of the sandbox series.

I always felt this is an area where games really should move into and to some respects GTA should be appluaded for pursuing this more than anyone.

The technology now isn't anywhere near capable but Google Earth is getting there. What am I talking about. Well how cool would it be to have an entire State or country scanned in. Each road, each house accuratley modelled and mapped. You could drive around your own neighbourhood and familiar streets. Its a dimension I think is currently lacking in games.

With BluRay storage sizes and next gen 3d power capabilities the only hurdle really is the capturing of this information. GTA has pretty much had the road layout done for a couple generations now, I just can't think of a practical way of getting at least some building details into the game without it needing to be done all by hand.

Still with Carmack pumping all his cash into rockets, who knows he might just build a scanning satellite to bring gaming into the next generation. :)

I'm sure in a few years time when optics are cheap as dirt and next-next-gen-consoles would have 24/7 connection a mmorpg of the whole world would be created.

Damn you need to put some movies and games to one side before next xmas. :)

Still I know what you mean, all that time off sounds great but everything grinds to a halt so there is nothing to do.

I just drink and sleep. :)

You forgot one thing. SimInternet. Why limit your virtual interaction to just those people in your local virtual environment. Log onto the SimInternet and browse webpages, chat via IM hell you can even download and play one of the popular MMORPGs.

Now I must go and see if I left any bleach under the sink, I'm getting thirsty. :)
