Rockstar's "next stop?!"

Joystiq posted an article on a tease from the Episodes From Liberty City manual.
 
People say that might be a new city but after seeing the desert part from the Weazel News trailer, it's probably a subtle announcement that Red Dead Redemption is coming in March. An interesting thing was the use of colors which can probably signify that Max Payne 3 is coming in March as well. They are might be saying that anything Grand Theft Auto IV is done and everyone should expect the other games coming next year.
 
What are your thoughts?

" So hoping for GTA V to show us a next generation San Andreas. "

I don't get why people are saying it says "Next Stop... Seagull" That's just stupid. It's obviously saying "Next stop... [picture]".

Well, the series has stopped in the northeast, southeast, and southwest, so maybe it's time for them to visit the Emerald City? The seagull sign would fit there. I can see it now: 

• A Ricky Hendrix statue
• Drive your bike through Pine Place Market to get to the water
• A new focus on boats as you take them to move between islands in the Columbus Sound.
• Take your girlfriend on dates to the Galaxy Scraper, along with the sports stadiums downtown
• Get involved in the infamous drug traffic and build tunnels under the border between the US and Canada
• Meet lots of hot asians
• Make getaways through the trees
• Participate in Hydroplane races

Jamaica... or rather "Jamrock" as Jacob called it after a helicopter mission in GTA4 where he mentions he and Niko should go. This is based on the colors and previous speculation over on gtaforums, and also the Seagull part. It's unclear what it says above Seagull. But it's been mentioned on gtaforums that Seagull Theatre is a famous(?) London venue, and the ad looks like it's intended to be for a musical.
 
San Andreas and Vice City are all but ruled out. I think it'll be a little while before those waters are directly retreaded. I could see a large Carribean area with both Jamaica and the southern tip of Florida for a slight VC return.

I'd like to see a next gen Vice City as part of a bigger landscape.  I always thought VC was a little small. "

Interesting...I would love to see a return to either Vice City or San Andreas. A new city would be sweet too. Hey, AgentJ's idea above has got me interested; give that a go Rockstar!

How is that ''fixed''? I'd prefer to see Vice City dipped in 2010+ quality than San Andreas no question. Fixed for you maybe, though dunno why you had to quote me to state what you'd prefer. "

You forgot Penny Arcade:

• First nerd main character in the GTA series, gets to go to the SAX *Sexy (boothgirl) Ass Expo
• Do hits on Japando's CEO's at the behest of Macrosoft CEO Steve Jobs

Good to know I'm not the only one that thinks so :P  I wonder if other people have some good ideas of future locations. "

 
Many think it's part of a map, which I absolutely do not. Also the colors are off.

 There's a lot of speculation over on gtaforums. In fact here's a retouched version of the pic aped from there. Sorry about the possible horizontal stretch.

" @AgentJ:   Sounds sweet! When's it coming out? "

" @AgentJ:   .......Crap. You didn't set me up :(. "

" @AgentJ:   Some sort of date, just so I could crop the pic to the last panel. Why? It's awesome. It does not fucking suck :P. "

• Get involved in the tribal casino scene

  @ThePhantomnaut: It's shaped like New York... but the original image is torn and probably has nothing to do with the shape.

Looks like woods and a mountain with colors that vaguely reminds me of the Brazillian flags. Probably RDR and Max Payne 3.

Just the fact that it has the Seagull Theater watermark at the bottom right tells me "London". 
 
Honestly, they seriously need to revisit London.

Red Dead Redemption. Although a new IP or a new installment in the GTA series would be super welcome, too.

Another "Columbia Sound" aspect:  

• Work for the Alligator Cafe, get paid by grunge bands to blow the brains out of other bands (and make it look like suicide)

Did they use the actual names of any locations in past GTA games? I can't remember a case where they did.  "

Something tells a new Vice City is in the works.  I would like to see them go somewhere different, but methinks it's just easier to return to familiar territory.

They should take it back into the 1950's and the setting should be in los angeles like l.a noire

You know what? I dont really like GTA that much. 
I'd love to see something from these super talented developers. Maybe thats what this is pointing towards? A change of page so to speak?

Something new from these super talented developers i meant to say. "

AHA!!!
 
So true, thanks mate. Somehow I'd never noticed that before.

They are money grabbers who will leave cool stuff out of the next game so we will have to pay for it in DLC

That looks like Alaska, if it's a state. Of course, I rarely look at a map, so what do I know?
 
Also... screw Vice City. That was probably the most boring GTA game to date.

Everyone forgot about "Agent" already, huh?
 
For GTA, I hope they bring back the feel of traveling between cities like in San Andreas.  The game had so many different settings and atmospheres because of this.
 
I also hope they ditch the disconnect between it's gameplay and it's characterization.  
More crazy: Rampages, Chainsaws, Flamethrowers, Spawning guns at safe houses.
Less 'Realism': "I don't want to kill people" *kills 1,000 people*.
Less Bowling, Pool, Dancing, and Dating. (Dating sucked in San Andreas too.)

So a new focus on not having fun? "

I'm hoping for some city in South America!
