GTA's 'Next Stop' teased in Liberty City Episodes manual

On the off chance the teaser is pointing to a different city, we've ... we've really got no idea. Looks like a desert, though, right? And a mountain? And some conical, obsidian monoliths? What? Trees? Oh, yeah, that makes a lot more sense. We'd love to hear your speculation in a well-written, thought-provoking comment! There's a place for those right after the jump, you know.

Could be a joke, could be a hint, WHO NOES?!?
NitroMikeo @ Oct 28th 2009 6:20PM
That wasn't funny, or relevant. I apologize.

Allow me to use this space to make the top of the comments section interesting. It most certainly looks South American or island like. I would really lean towards Brazil but that might be obvious based on flag colors. But then maybe it's supposed to be obvious. Anyway that's about the best guess you can make at this point.
nriveraexpress @ Oct 28th 2009 10:47PM
you really expect it to leave the US? then the jokes will be lame and no one would really get them, having it int he US is way better cause everybody likes making fun of the US
Jimbodawg @ Oct 28th 2009 10:54PM
Next stop:
Miami
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!
Danny @ Oct 28th 2009 10:56PM
I never saw the GTA games as making fun of the US. Making fun of specific types of people (like OG Loc) or groups (like the mafia) was always more up Rockstar's alley. Are you just an angry foreigner or something?
god.kenji @ Oct 28th 2009 5:57PM
obviously its retro mars.
alixandermcfly @ Oct 28th 2009 7:18PM
Its got to be a hint for Red Dead Redemption, although I do wish they would give it a subtitle.
Red Dead Redemption - Grand Theft Horses

COOKIES!!!

Alaska plz. I want to kill eskimos with an uzi.
green11420 @ Oct 28th 2009 6:44PM
Hey mister, I'm an eskimo. And that's racist.

Just bring back San Andreas using Rockstar's RAGE engine! PLEASE?!
joshua.nash @ Oct 28th 2009 6:01PM
i agree, they should do that
Knight Marquise @ Oct 28th 2009 6:11PM
Hell Yes!
San Andreas was my favorite of the series.
Arturo @ Oct 28th 2009 6:45PM
Hell yes, that'd be awesome.
Shagittarius @ Oct 28th 2009 5:59PM
Get your ass to Mars.
Autobot (Now with Vitamin D)! @ Oct 28th 2009 6:53PM
I second the motion.
Rockstar, get your ass to work.
boot2skull @ Oct 30th 2009 6:21PM
Get ready for a surprise!

Next Stop: The Agent
HAIOOOOOOOO
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 6:01PM
It's so obvious. Grand Theft Auto: Looney Toons
Sly @ Oct 28th 2009 6:02PM
it looks like chinatown wars' art style.
whymog @ Oct 28th 2009 6:02PM
"Opens March"? Can't wait. :)
Wes @ Oct 28th 2009 6:03PM
March 2010, 2011 or 2012 I wonder?
NitroMikeo @ Oct 28th 2009 6:04PM
Q1 2010, they want to avoid the over crowded market..
VaultBoy @ Oct 28th 2009 6:59PM
Sadly that market is becoming crowded with the games that didn't want to be a part of the holiday clusterfuck. Come on Games Industry, pace yourselves the quality of games and sales should only improve because of it.
Autobot (Now with Vitamin D)! @ Oct 28th 2009 8:16PM
and sadly, that's what Sarcasm is.
Marco le Polo @ Oct 28th 2009 6:03PM
I bet it's El Paso, Texas where the ugliest guys in America reside. According to totalbeauty.com
Kalenn @ Oct 28th 2009 6:04PM
Why not Hong Kong? Or somewhere... I dunno... not in America?
Nahhhh
marvin69 @ Oct 28th 2009 7:19PM
Then it would be GTR
Grand Theft Ricksaw (Search Bing images)
Kalenn @ Oct 28th 2009 7:26PM
Have you ever been to Hong Kong? It's one of the most metropolitan cities in the world. It also happens to have a fantastically complicated road network and a thriving criminal underworld. Call me crazy, but that sounds like a good locale to me.
Devin @ Oct 28th 2009 7:29PM
Gta is a satire about America though. It's like one of the cornerstones of the franchise.
Kalenn @ Oct 28th 2009 7:47PM
You don't think any of that might translate to a global city? I think there are a lot of opportunities outside of the good 'ole US of A.
How about GTA Tokyo? You could do so many things with the strange and ... wonderful ... Japanese culture. See "Princess Robot Butterfly" vid from earlier this week.
xaiax @ Oct 28th 2009 8:42PM
If they take it outside the US, one great possibility would be late 80s/early 90s europe.
You have the perfect excuse for partitioning the environment, too. In '89 you have the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 94 you have the opening of the chunnel. So you could start in western europe, "france" and "germany" and "spain", etc, open up the eastern bloc and introduce the organized crime into/from there, then open up the chunnel for access to "england", where you could finish off the game with a crown jewel heist, or something.
Think of the landmarks, like the Eiffel tower, Big Ben, or if you included southern europe you could have Rome with the colosseum, etc.
Then you could have all that 80s music, and even better, as the time progresses or as you unlock new areas, you could have the stations change. Or, have different announcers for different areas/times, doing different chatter over the same or somewhat new songs.
Probably wouldn't fit on a single DVD that way, though, with that much music. (Or just go with mono instead of stereo, should cut down the bitrate) - Yeah, PS3 doesn't have that restriction, but given the sales figures and MS's monetary investment into GTA, there's no way in hell they wouldn't have a 360 version, which means DVD.
Lucky @ Oct 28th 2009 8:50PM
I think the main problem with Tokyo (as effing awesome as that would obviously be) is that the cultural jabs could give a kinda queasy rasistic (for the lack of a better word) feeling.
MystileArmor @ Oct 28th 2009 11:18PM
They did a GTA London back in the day, so keeping it all "USA" related isn't 100% accurate.
Durden @ Oct 28th 2009 6:05PM
I love the old games but maybe they should try a new location. Perhaps Detroit or even Britain. I would love to revisit Vice City though!
dextro @ Oct 28th 2009 9:48PM
This Rockstart: go back to Vice City, give it all the GTA4 style bling, give us a nice story in the 80s or even the 90s and turn it up to eleven by expaning to a full state like in San Andreas... or at least just a Vice City that isn't half empty this time.
Brazell @ Oct 28th 2009 6:05PM
If you want to enjoy your time on the internet, go to the GTAForums site and read the speculation. Every 14 - 17 year old on the webz will predict and argue why it is set in their home town. "ZOMG IT'S DECATUR, IL WHICH WILL BE SO SWEET AND PERFECT FOR GTA5!!"
Marius @ Oct 28th 2009 6:06PM
Its Seattle,(Seagull), mountains and trees,
anyways if its like GTA4 then I could care less
Marius @ Oct 28th 2009 6:32PM
Wait its London

Premature ejaculation man @ Oct 28th 2009 7:02PM
If you could care less, then why don't you? Or are you too lazy to?
Marius @ Oct 28th 2009 7:07PM
because I have hope for a good GTA
Autobot (Now with Vitamin D)! @ Oct 28th 2009 8:33PM
it says "Opens march" too
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Oct 28th 2009 6:06PM
I don't care where it's at. I just want to be able to do drive-bys in mulitplayer in a rickshaw.
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 6:09PM
Will homeless people pull this rickshaw?
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Oct 28th 2009 6:37PM
Better...a homeless, one-legged, Asian, midget will pull it while yelling, "Docta Jones, Docta Jones!"
Zexion_VI @ Oct 28th 2009 6:06PM
Looks like CANADA!!! The mountains, the trees, the lack of fun!
Dustin @ Oct 28th 2009 6:07PM
Jamaica?
