GTA 5: More evidence pointing to London

As it looks, the "Seagull" clue wasn't the only hint at the next location in the GTA series. A close look at the "Liberty City - It's over" ad from the booklet of "Episodes from Liberty City" reveals a stunning resemblance between the ad and the northern european coastline.

As an aussie I approve this. The original Underbelly series is just begging for a video game and I think it would be perfect for the next GTA

i think all this clues are not about next GTA's location because:
- they're given too early
- they're too abvious
- there is not enough criminal activity in Europe to host GTA (ok, im obviously wrong here, London is full of crime)
- Rockstar know Vice City is demanded as hell

What does real life criminal activity have to do with anything? It's not based on real life, they could put it in the Vatican for all it would matter.

GTA games took place in London... And it didn't hide the London title. GTA London was on the PSone and was actually a lot of fun. It took place in the 60's and was probably the best original GTA title. I would take London any day. It would be a good change... Also the GTA IV is a year and a half old which means this time next year we may be seeing this game.

I want a GTA in Italy with the Italian mob. There is some sort of mob war going on now and some guy was assassinated on camera in Sicily. It's been on the news.

Rockstar should just do a mafia game. Without all the other crap that goes into GTA. The formula is getting old.

Yeah, I'd love to see an Italian GTA. The little streets are far too inviting, plus the melodrama of Italians is ripe for the taking.

Though, being Italian I am biased.

During the credits at the end of TBOGT, the camera pans to the entrance of the airport and you see Packie get out of a Taxi with luggage. Could be heading anywhere, but most likely Europe.

7 - The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S.
Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.
Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.
The figures comes on the day new Home Secretary Alan Johnson makes his first major speech on crime, promising to be tough on loutish behaviour.

The Tories said Labour had presided over a decade of spiralling violence.
In the decade following the party's election in 1997, the number of recorded violent attacks soared by 77 per cent to 1.158million - or more than two every minute.
The figures, compiled from reports released by the European Commission and United Nations, also show:

The UK has the second highest overall crime rate in the EU.
It has a higher homicide rate than most of our western European neighbours, including France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
The UK has the fifth highest robbery rate in the EU.
It has the fourth highest burglary rate and the highest absolute number of burglaries in the EU, with double the number of offences than recorded in Germany and France.
But it is the naming of Britain as the most violent country in the EU that is most shocking. The analysis is based on the number of crimes per 100,000 residents.
In the UK, there are 2,034 offences per 100,000 people, way ahead of second-placed Austria with a rate of 1,677.

The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 92 and South Africa 1,609.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: 'This is a damning indictment of this government's comprehensive failure over more than a decade to tackle the deep rooted social problems in our society, and the knock on effect on crime and anti-social behaviour.

'We're now on our fourth Home Secretary this parliament, and all we are getting is a rehash of old initiatives that didn't work the first time round. More than ever Britain needs a change of direction.'
The figures, compiled by the Tories, are considered the most accurate and up-to-date available.
But criminologists say crime figures can be affected by many factors, including different criminal justice systems and differences in how crime is reported and measured.
New Home Secretary Alan Johnson is to make his first major speech on crime today
In Britain, an affray is considered a violent crime, while in other countries it will only be logged if a person is physically injured.
There are also degrees of violence. While the UK ranks above South Africa for all violent crime, South Africans suffer more than 20,000 murders each year - compared with Britain's 921 in 2007.
Experts say there are a number of reasons why violence is soaring in the UK. These include Labour's decision to relax the licensing laws to allow round-the-clock opening, which has led to a rise in the number of serious assaults taking place in the early hours of the morning.
But Police Minister David Hanson said: 'These figures are misleading.
Levels of police recorded crime statistics from different countries are simply not comparable since they are affected by many factors, for example the recording of violent crime in other countries may not include behaviour that we would categorise as violent crime.
'Violent crime in England and Wales has fallen by almost a half a peak in 1995 but we are not complacent and know there is still work to do. That is why last year we published 'Saving lives. Reducing harm. Protecting the public. An Action Plan for Tackling Violence 2008-11'.'
The timing of the Europe-wide violence figures is a blow for Mr Johnson, who will today seek to reassert Labour's law and order credentials.
In his first major speech on crime since becoming Home Secretary, Mr Johnson is expected to promise a concerted crack down on antisocial behaviour.
He wants to set up a website to allow the public to see what is taking place in their neighbourhood, such as the number of louts who have been served with Asbos.
Mr Johnson is also known to support early intervention to stop children going off the rails.

7.1 - Creesh thats a bit misleading
We count far more as violent crime than those other countries, getting into a scuffle in a bar is probably classed as violent crime, when it comes to actual murder and muggings etc, Britain is probably better than the US.

So you remember to pick it up next time. It should not be considered any more reliable as a source than the national enquirer.

There is a lot of petty crime in london (like most major cities) and happily a lot of us don't live there anymore. In GTA5 I would like to experience a pixellated version of visiting soho, getting trollied and dropping wallet/phone/dignity before stealing a cab home. It might be slightly cheaper than the real thing.

London also has a lively and varied press so I suggest quoting from the guardian or telegraph CREESH, you tory boy.
