The (GTA) secret's in the name
News - Rockstar registrations revealed
Once again the registration of trademark names has led to educated speculation as to the name of a forthcoming sequel. Take Two, parent company of Rockstar Games, registered three different GTA trademarks. GTA5 and GTA6 were there but more pertinently GTA: San Andreas also cropped up, giving the strongest hint yet as to what the title of the next instalment in the series will be.
As the only city from the original game that hasn't been re-worked in a 3D incarnation rumour was rife that this would be the title for GTA4. The fact that a Rockstar employee registered the domain names for www.gtasanandreas.com and www.grandtheftautosanandreas.com last January would seem to cement this possibility.
The game is apparently still a good way off however, as it could well make its debut on the next generation of consoles. More as we get it.
