Grand Theft Auto “Sucks”

Months ago when I lived in Vancouver I snapped this “before” photo with my cell of a GTA: San Andreas ad-mural. Apparently there’s more out there, such as New York and who knows where else.

Meanwhile, this evening I accidentally came across an “after” photo of the same mural where someone had painted “sucks” underneath. Someone obviously didn’t like the game or was offended by the hot-coffee mod’ – who knows. It got me thinking of the impact GTA 4 will have on the gaming community. What new stones will they turn over? What new aspects can they bring to the sandbox game of all sandbox games? Will they pull an “EA” and just release a sequel for the sake of sequels?
One can only speculate if Grand Theft Auto 4 will “suck” or not. I feel Rockstar is in a position to sit back and look at the current competition (Saints Row, Just Cause and Crackdown) on the XBox 360 and PS3 and design a game that’s twice as good. My educated guess is that it will be a true second or third generation (of the next-gen consoles) Grand Theft Auto, A GTA utilizing the XBox 360 and PS3′s power with a new story, characters, bigger playing field and a new kick ass soundtrack. Uh, and no risky XXX program code.
