I'm guessing with the success of GTA 3 Anniversary, they'll do a Vice City Anniversary for 2012. With GTA V expected in 2012, I'm thinking they'll be a mobile tie-in coming 2013. I'd expect Sony to put heavy pressure on securing it as a PS Vita exclusive initially, but just like Chinatown Wars, I have no doubt it would come to iOS and they'll probably have this in mind from the beginning so will design with both platforms in mind. Interestingly, the 2011 Apple A5 with it's dual core ARM Cortex A9 CPU + SGX543MP2 is basically half the PS Vita's quad core ARM Cortex A9 + SGX543MP4+. Granted PS Vita gets some speed advantage from close-to-metal hardware access, but a 2013 GTA V universe mobile title launching first on the PS Vita wouldn't have to sacrifice much visually to run on a 2012 Apple A6 and could potentially run better on a 2013 Apple A7 than on the PS Vita. The advantages of steadily progressing hardware vs. stable console specs.

2014 could then be San Andreas Anniversary, for a basically yearly mobile GTA release schedule.

Hopefully with GTA III's success we will see Vice City next year. From a technical standpoint, both games are very similar so clearly the current generation of devices should be able to handle it. San Andreas again, from a CPU/GPU standpoint, again, I see no reason the current gen couldn't handle it, though support for earlier generations maybe even more problematic. People here are already posting problems that i would think stem from lack of available RAM, and the number of interior environments and the size of San Andreas may make that incompatible with anything earlier than A5 devices.

The bigger issue may be the file size of upcoming games. If GTA III is ~600 MB uncompressed, then Vice City should be ~1GB while San Andreas, maybe 2-3 GB?

So you cant jump out of a moving car? I didn't like having to push my car off the dock on one of the side missions.

Isn't that GTA IV?

1. How do I activate the siren?
2. How do I do a custom playlist?

dont forget if you see a parked truck that says toys in da hood jump inside for the remote control car bomb missions & if your looking for a flamethrower just use the ramp thats by the underground trainstation & jump to the train platform above & keep riding slowly on the track until you see a building on the left side thats the same height as the platform get out your car & jump from the tracks to the roof you will see a flamethrower

also does that free gtatwitter thing really work it seems to good to be true & they ask for your apple id that seems to easy for a hacker to have access to your account & take your id once it has money on it ,but its best to pay the devs so their encouraged to bring more & better games plus 4.99$ is nothing for this great game gangstar was 6.99$ & not half this good or deep
