The spin bods at Rockstar are jumping into overdrive with the announcement (via MCV) that a trailer for the next installment of their American culture simulator action series Grand Theft Auto will be released later this month. It's expected that GTA IV will arrive on the PS3 and the Xbox 360 sometime this year, suggestions fuelled by a report that the anticipated episodic content will not be available for download until 2008.
A trailer? Well, it's generated inches here, anyway.
According to speculations on Wikipedia, that bastion of user-generated knowledge, the franchise's setting may return to the UK. Whether this wild hope is realised or not, GTA will continue to reflect cultural norms of our North American player-relatives. Ironic for a company based in Scotland.
Now, a GTA set in the streets of Glasgow. That would be bloomin' brilliant.
More information as anything substantial becomes available.
