Rockstar already Grand Theft Auto-ized Hollywood in GTA: San Andreas with Vinewood, an area of the game's Los Angeles mock-up, Los Santos. But according to the rumor mill, the developer is taking its marquee franchise back to Tinseltown for GTA V.

VG247 kicked off the Hollywood speculation this morning in a... unique report. The article, which appears to be the transcript of a conversation between two unnamed men, claims GTA is headed west again and that Rockstar will make the announcement soon at a Max Payne 3 event.


The odd report wasn't much to go on (or report on), but Eurogamer picked up the trail and, citing an unnamed source, said that "Rockstar is definitely researching Hollywood." However, Eurogamer's source could not say if the research was, in fact, for Grand Theft Auto V.

Rockstar responded to inquires with its standard "we do not comment on rumor and speculation."



Sharkey says: I would be surprised if Rockstar went back and created a GTA game around Vinewood, particularly with LA Noire on the way. My guess is the research is for another title. Where would you like to see the next GTA take place?
