Following recent rumors that Rockstar is preparing the next Grand Theft Auto game to release by the end of 2009, the developer has commented.
“We don’t comment on rumor and speculation”, a Rockstar employee responded on the rumors. This usually indicates that something is up and indeed fishy. Remember, this is completely possible with the game engine for Grand Theft Auto IV already established, it shouldn’t take Rockstar long to put out another title, just as with GTAIII and Vice City.
