Possible GTA V hint in EfLC manual?

Posted at 20:29 GMT by Chris :: Category: GTA IV :: Comments: 36
Fans who have pre-ordered Episodes from Liberty City have been receiving their copies, some fans spotted something interesting on page 13 of the manual. "Liberty City, It's over! Next stop". Take a look at this:

It's a small, not particularly detailed picture, so we can't really tell much from it. Yet. What do you think?

Rockstar is just messing with us, :lol: and I love it. Some things that came across my mind were Vice City, an

island, or mountains. The GTAforums had some pretty intersting ideas, like one of them put the small pieces

together and it made a face. Also take note at the "Opens March Everywhere".

Lol, Rockstar is so awesome. :P

We're doing exactly what they want, to believe that they're moving on from Liberty City, and to get us speculating. ;)

Not much to say, but the rip-like part of the poster reminds me of those games/contests where you identify what it is from that small part. Of course, I don't think anyone will ever find out until word from Rockstar Games. :)

Well to be perfectly honest I don't think staying in LC will be good. I still want Vice City. I'm hoping what we're actually looking at in that small tear is actually palm trees on a Miami beach.... if you look at it a certain way... it kinda looks it :P

To me the colours look like sort of "vice cityish" but i cant seem to make out anything from that little picture. i reckon the "opens march everywhere" is the release of the new game next year because then it would've been 2 years since gtaIv came out. and 2 years is kind of the sort of gap that rockstar gives between games

Before they make a new gta city, i would love for them to remake vice and SAN ANDREAS with this game engine... that would be great :dribble:

Although I haven't played the storyline of GTA IV (getting the game next week when im 18) I think they should go with something totally new, like London, Tokyo or something like that.

actually, the normal gap is one year
the only 2 year gap was between vice city and san andreas

Personally I think il could be Paris, let me explain why.

The shape looks a lot like the north-western part of France :

Now look at this :

This movie, New York I love you, is a sequel to the movie Paris Je t'aime :

Look at the rewards, Toronto and Cannes 2006, it looks a lot like 'Official entrant LC Film Festival' :

The color is very Vicy City-esc. It looks, to me, to be from a light green button up shirt like the one Tommy V wore in Vice City. Though his might have been a bit more blue. As for the two years thing, I agree! I've been saying that we'll hear something of GTA V before the end of 2010. I think this kind of backs that up. I just picture Rockstar releasing the full image and it being a guy wearing a green button up shirt, slacks, pulling down his shades with a cigarette in his mouth and palm trees and bikini babes behind him.

That france idea is pretty good (the way you back it up), would be interesting if it is in Paris, not sure if Paris is renowned for its crime.

Still think London would be a great option, if anyone has seen the films Kidulthood and Adulthood I think you'll know why. Though if it is London it should have all the 2012 Olympic Stadiums that are being built.

After that little bit of work by Tipper there, Paris is looking pretty feasible. That is some tight evidence, but would rockstar make it that easy so quickly?
(My thoughts? Bring on VC.)

#15 - November 1st, 2009 @ 17:27
I'm pretty sure Vice City will be the next game. I think Rockstar will make a new Vice City, then San Andreas after that, and then a completely new storyline, with a new city(s) and no returning characters. Then they could build another series of games and just continue from there.

The 2 ideas ^ up there, the most likely is the Paris one, the VC one doesn't work as well.

A remake of Vice City or San Andreas would be absolutely awesome. HD, and a way bigger map like what they did with IV over III/LCS.

I honestly think that they will definetly go with either San Andreas or Vice City for GTA V.

To be honest I think having a re done Vice City or San Andreas would be boring, I want something new and not a whole revamp of past games. I would like to see remakes of better San Andreas and Vice City but not yet.

It will be Vice City. If its not I lose all internets.

It will almost definitaly be Vice. A lot of fans would be annoyed if it wasn't and I think rockstar know that. While the Paris theory is very good (I gave you +1 rep for that) it just seems far too unlikely as Paris seems awfully random for GTA.

Because the ripped shape is sort of in the shape of a V? That's hardly credible proof.

Yeah, and so many people were screaming how if they remade Liberty they would boycott the game and never buy another GTA. Those same people ran out, bought the game, and raved about it. Never doubt Rockstar's decisions, they usually know what the hell they're doing. They are the ones with insane amounts of cash to throw at designers, marketing researchers, etc. Just trust them for once.

Lol good points Spaz as usual, and what the fuck I didn't know Jezz Torrent was still around haha :P Anyways yeah the Paris theory seems pretty good but like everyone else here I think they're just gonna make it Vice City.

The little picture could be... the Rocky Mountains making the game GTA Canada! Hahahaha that will never happen, ever.

I think the tear maybe part of a billboard from either San Andreas or Vice City. What I want to see in the future is 3 expansion packs like TBoGT and TLaTD, each based in one of the three GTA Cities.

I like the France, although I doubt it it's clever you worked that out.

Hey Guy's long time lurker,first time poster,Awesome site.

Anyhow I posted this on Gamefaqs but figured I'd tell you guys too,maybe your community can make something of It.
That lil rip on pg.13 Is Of a poster that Is located In the backroom of the porn shop In Hove Beach..I think It's Hove Beach,w/e the first town you start In when playin GTA4 vanilla.The one you pick up Roman up at when hangin out and do a job with Dimitri at.

Anyhow I stink with computers and all the new age stuff.But If ya get bored,check It out.I won't tell you anymore about It cause It's there for you too see for yourself.

Anyhow just figured this would be a good place to let folks now about that.

Have a good day fellow gamers.

Quick Edit:I found this while playin the Ballad,not sure If It's there In the original game or TLAD,but It's def there In the Ballad.

Yep that's the poster I was talkin about.

Good find on the pic's Green.I wish I was less of a computard cause I woulda posted em earlier.

Either way there It Is.
I wonder what,If anything It may mean.

I tried to find a website In-Game but had no luck.

Still pretty neat.

Also Mollis is a municipality in the canton of Glarus in Switzerland.

Mollis has an area, as of 2006, of 21.8 square kilometers (8.4 sq mi). Of this area, 41% is used for agricultural purposes, while 44.9% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 8.2% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (5.9%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).[2]
The municipality is located on the right side of the Linth valley. It includes the area from the Linth Canal and Walensee to the Schlattbach in the Netstal. It consists of the village of Mollis and the hamlets of Beglingen on the Kerenzerberg and the alpine settlement of Mullern.

Doesn't sound like too much of a good location for a Game,but who knows.

It's made up of alot of German,Italian,an Albanians.Well at least that's what they speak anyhow.

Kinda useless info but I was bored.

The torn bit means nothing then, just tried to make it look real by making it seem "glued" over the poster in the porn shop

The picture underneath the rip may mean nothing, but i'd say thats not what we're meant to be focusing on. Obviously the rip is hiding something. Not a rip to reveal something underneath. You could easily fit a word next to or below the "Next stop." part.

Has anyone got the page in hi res?

Probably still are, just not with the rip.

#30 - November 8th, 2009 @ 13:41
Yeah. It seems to me now that the whole "New York I Love You" poster similarity could be just there way of saying goodbye to liberty city, hence the broken heart. I doubt the other poster/movie is even relevant. But the rip is shaped almost perfectly like France. Too coincidental?

But I think we can all agree that the rip is removing something, rather than revealing.

I'm really beginning to warm to the idea of GTA: Paris(based city).

#32 - November 11th, 2009 @ 00:57
This is just a total shot in the dark, I think the game could have Packie as the main character because in the credits to the Ballad of Gay Tony it shows Packie going into the aiport with a dufflel bag. Just a fun guess but whatever

The only thing I can relate that to, is the Mount Chilliad from San Andreas, just because it looks sort of mountainous. Pretty thin, sure, but that's all I got.

dude fuck off. you annoy the shit out of me sometimes. all you ever do is piss off other members. why dont you do your job as a "super mod" and prevent fights from happening rather then provoke them


Good, cause you annoy the shit out of me, too. I'd like you to take note of how much angrier your post was than mine. And how yours was actually an attack at me. So, Jezz Torrent, I do believe you should take your own advice.

Glad the underlying picture was finally discovered. Unfortunately, it leaves us more in the dark than we already were. Oh well, keep trying, right?

So the IV map was boring because it was a revamp of III/LCS? ^_^

I wish I could read the names at the bottom, maybe they have clus in them or something, likes names scrambles up or real names linked to certain cities.
