We keep running into this rumor about the next Grand Theft Auto 4 taking place in New York City, so I thought I'd pass it on here through the rumormill and put more brains on the task. Please take this as completely unconfirmed news until we can dig up more information. Here's what we think we know:
- The new GTA would play in New York City, in the early 90's
- The story is based on the Russian Mafia vs. the Italian Mafia
- Protagonist is an American-Italian working his way up the family
Conflicting rumors place the game back in California, primarily due to this fake mockup that was circulating earlier this year. The Big Apple as a grand next-gen debut does have allure, but I'm mostly skeptical because they covered so much of NYC & New Jersey with Grand Theft Auto 3 ... but it wasn't necessarily Manhattan per se. Think this holds weight? Check out the rumor spreading references below and draw your own conclusions. PS: Only one of them is in English with typos a blazing :)

and my guess is the next protagonist will be a woman
1. Its the biggest county, with several large cities.
2. They can avoide stereotypical cockney accents and posh boys, which have been in every single thing that has been based in london ever.
The Getaway: Cockney
The 51st State/ Formula 51 : Cockney
Every English Character on the Simpsons/Family Guy: Posh
If all else fails do Moscow. Never seen that in 3D: drinking vodka, buying tasteless bling, firing ak's from im[orted suv's on the red square.. i want!
