From IGN.com:

Ending all the constant speculation about the next installment of the Grand Theft Auto series, publisher Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is indeed coming out. In the press release unveiled this morning, it was revealed that GTA: San Andreas will be an exclusive title for the PlayStation 2 and will be released on October 19, 2004.


In the past few months, the latest Grand Theft Auto has continuously been rumored as Grand Theft Auto: Sin City, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Grand Theft Auto: Next Episode. To make things even more confusing, Rockstar Games registered those names for internet sites in addition to other titles like Grand Theft Auto: Bogota and Grand Theft Auto: Tokyo. Unless these are potential future cities for the franchise, these names were most likely done to create red herrings for the press and fans of the series.

In the original Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas was a city that was based on San Francisco. Sections of the city in the game had names that were variations of the names of different Bay Area neighborhoods. With the hilly nature of the city by the bay, gamers might be seeing some more terrain than previous installments.

This series is going to go on for quite awhile.

I can't wait. I wish it would come out on Xbox too, though. I got the double pack for that system, and I don't know how I could have survived without my custom Offspring soundtrack. Especially in VC. I really, REALLY hate 80's music. Of course, I guess I could always turn the in-game music off and just play a CD on my stereo, but it's not the same, you know?

Well, some of the stuff on VRock was alright, but generally, I hate the 80's. All that pink and teal...perms were stylish...it was the worst decade of pop culture in American history. I'd rather live in the 1500's and think the world is flat and crap in a hole in the ground than live in the 80's. Thank God I wasn't born until '87. That's what I call narrowly escaping.
