Rockstar founder, Dan Houser, has talked publicly about the fifth game in the Grand Theft Auto series for the first time, but the game doesn’t have a setting or a plot yet.
-
Speaking to The Times, Houser confirmed that a fifth game was in the company’s sights. He added that Rockstar will have to chose a setting first and then start thinking about the characters and plot. When that process is finished the resulting script will be around a thousand pages long.
Rockstar’s last outing in Liberty City was The Ballad of Gay Tony add-on for Xbox 360, which was a hugely successful swan song for GTA IV. Rockstar has said that this is the last piece of downloadable content to be released for GTA IV, and if they are beginning to focus on the next game, it could mean that PlayStation owners won’t get any additional content for the game.
When asked about the violent video games controversy that will inevitably surround the next GTA, he told The Times that his team often feel that Rockstar games get singled out.
He added: “We do get frustrated when video games are singled out and movies are given a free pass. Manhunt 2 was banned in the same week that Saw was released. The arguments become quite ludicrous quite quickly when people argue that games are somehow more dangerous than full-motion video.”
