Hello! I´m Expicport, administrator of Grand Theft Auto Encyclopedia, I will be very brief, for a while I have this in mind, I had previously read several articles and comments from Rockstar Games, that was a few years ago, and after looking at certain things from Grand Theft Auto V, I reach the following conclusions:
- Note: It should be noted that I'm Spanish speaking and I do not have a very good command of English, which is why I´m using for a translator.
- City location: Everything points towards to Vice City.
- The same Vice City seen in the third generation?: No, of course not... The only links that this new city will have with that game of 2002 will be some Easter eggs located in small alleys and remote places of the city, as Rockstar has always done, if they are motivated to put one.
- How big will be this city?: Enough to use the game for a few years with the upcoming updates of this.
- Will be set in the current era?: Yes, that's for sure.
- Will there be several protagonists?: Yes, it's the safest thing, what I do not know if will be 2 or 3..
- Will there be a female protagonist?: Yes, it is very likely. Rockstar said earlier that they wanted to experiment with a female protagonist, however they had not found the right place and plot to introduce it. Well, what better place than Vice City, right?
- This game is found in the same universe as GTA IV?: Yes, it will follow the same sequence, Rockstar would not discard the universe so little explored so fast.
- When will the trailer be published?: Maybe in the last quarter of this 2018, at the most in the course of 2019.
- When will the game officially be released?: Taking what happened with Grand Theft Auto V as a reference, it is most likely to come out about a year after the release of the trailer, so this may vary, if they release the trailer at the end of 2018, the game would come out at the end of 2019, if they launch it in the course of 2019, the game would be on sale in the course of 2020. It seems far away, but look that 2 years pass in the blink of an eye.
And this is all, let's see if time gives me the right hehe.
