Now I can't exactly say the Grand Theft Auto V announcement this afternoon was a surprise, it is the industry's worst kept secret after all, but the timing of the announcement was a bit of a surprise.
A lot of people expected Rockstar to announce GTA V at this year's E3, but it ended up being a no-show. I'm not quite sure why they chose to announce it now, it may have something to do with Saints Row: the Third being a few weeks away. Possibly.
As I've said though, GTA V's existence shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone. What we really want to know is where it's set.
It's been rumored for some time that the series is returning to Los Santos, the first city from San Andreas, and it has even been said that V will be the first game in the series to include a real-world city, probably Los Angeles.
I'm not quite sure how significant that might be, because its always been clear which real-world city the game's cities are based on.
I also read this article today that suggested the series could be headed to the American capital, which I think could be very interesting.
All these questions will be answered on November 2nd, where Rockstar will release the first ever trailer. I just hope it isn't a teaser trailer. I fucking hate teaser trailers.
