The next Grand Theft Auto game may be heading back to Los Angeles—or its GTA equivalent Los Santos—if rumoured casting details dug up by Google search crackerjack “superannuation” for a project codenamed “Rush” are Rockstar-related.

Casting calls for a project by the name of Rush tied to Take-Two Interactive, which owns Rockstar Games, point to a video game set in the Los Angeles area, one that’s certainly not 2011′s L.A. Noire or the announced but never seen Agent. This appears to be a modern day fiction, with a cast that sounds very much like a broad, memorable group of miscreants, lowlifes and Hollywood stereotypes.

Mobsters, FBI agents, actors, hillbillies and hippies feature prominently in the cast listing that doesn’t mention GTA by name, but sure reads a lot like the multicultural motley crews that feature in Rockstar’s video games.

If accurate and related to Grand Theft Auto V, it would match a rumour put forth by VG247 last year, which tipped a return to the Los Angeles and Hollywood caricatures Los Santos and Hollywood. That locale was last featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which also included Las Vegas and San Francisco-like cities, a game that went on to sell more than 21.5 million copies.

The following casting call comes from talent network The Agency.

Mitch Hayes:

38 – Annoying, wise cracking, highly successful FBI agent. In great shape. Does triathlons, drinks low cal beer, but still has a sense of humor.
Miguel Gonzalez:

25 – Young Mexican American FBI agent, caught between a few mob bosses. Very clean cut

Clyde:

23 – Moronic, almost inbred and creepy white trash hillbilly. Very naïve but in a creepy “it’s only incest sort of way”

Brother Adam:

Welsh monk / cult leader / yoga teacher – 50, very lithe, very into exploring your personal tension through gripping massage. Needs Welsh accent.

Mrs Avery:

Neurotic soccer mum, home maker, 48, anxious and addled on pain killers. Very angry at neighbour MRS Bell.

Mrs Bell:

Swinger, and mellow Californian divorcee. 45. Ugly but comfortable with self.

Eddie:

47 – Weed evangelist, guy who started smoking at 30, and is now a leading proponent of marijuana’s fantastic properties. White, awkward.

Ira Bernstein:

56 – publicist for an actress known as America’s newest sweetheart who just so happens to love animals, orphans, drugs and sex. He’s always trying to hide her latest indiscretion.

Kevin De Silva:

18 – Albert’s fat, FPS playing gamer son. Smokes a lot of weed, has anxiety issues and a card for a bad back, very soft, very opinionated. Into making racist comments while playing online.

Harut Vartanyan:

42-52 years old – Armenian car dealer, moneylender, would be Fagin and would be bully. Heavily connected to the underworld, but irritates people so much no one likes him.

Nervous Jerry:

48 – paranoiac living in the sticks, near Simon, completely paranoid, and terrified of Simon.

Calvin North:

55 – clapped out FBI agent who now mostly works offering advice on TV shows – whose only claim to fame turns out to be entirely false – but a decent guy in other ways. Badly dressed. Divorced. Putting on weight.

Jerry Cole:

53 – disabled IT expert and criminal information vendor.

Rich Roberts:

English hardman actor, 35, who acts tough but who wants to do serious work – the only problem is he can’t quite read the words.

Alex:

white 52 yr old loosie goosie hippy rich guy who has lost his money and is getting desperate but trying not to.

Scarlet:

45-52 years old – unshaven female spiritualist and hippy with a love of exploring the wilderness. Very into journeys.

Chad:

29 – pretty boy misogynist Beverly Hills party boy. Made money, but not as cool as he thinks he is.

Tae Wong:

39 – somewhat incompetent Chinese mobster, loves doing ecstasy, going to raves.

Taes Translator:

45 – VERY STRAIGHT LACED Chinese translator, terrified of his boss’s dad. Male, awkward. Needs to speak Chinese.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

GrandTheft5 turned up five domain registrations attributed to Rockstar’s parent company, Take Two Interactive.

Aficionados will recognise the flavour of Rockstar’s regular bouts of tie-in marketing, which sees the company hosting real-world equivalents of the websitse, hotlines and email addresses featured in-game.

Four of the new sites were registered at the end of January, with one – LifeInvader.com – nabbed as early as January 7.

None of the websites contain much beyond placeholder pages – yet. See the full list below.

Meanwhile, stuntman Declan Mulvey told CVG that a credit in Grand Theft Auto V found on his resume was just a typo – but Joystiq points out that the actor’s profile on the admittedly patchy IMDB makes no mention of GTA IV work.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

As much as I loved the series I really hope this isnt true. I really felt they have been takin a backwards step since VC, although SA was good.

Was not a fan of IV at all.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

More looking forward to Saints Row 3 to be honest, part 2 was heaps more fun than GTA 4.

GTA IV was ok but too "serious".

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

I'd love to see another 80s themed GTA

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Agree with this... Or even a late 60's-70's themed GTA with a 'Goodfellas' styled setting.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

This is all so exciting, with all the mentions of FBI Agents.. I wonder if you'll be playing as one of the 'good guys' this time around
I also really hope it is a San Andreas setting, I had sooooooo much fun making my way from city to city back in the day... ahhh good times.

Breaking the law to enforce it?

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Much happiness to be had

The only thing i must say, is i really hope they change the mission structure. Too much of 1 thing is getting old, much like AC1

Rockstar are the one of the best developers in the world currently, their ability to make quality games astounds me

E3 announcement? or sooner?

 

[OzBomber]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Just wanted to unlock the whole of Liberty City and go around killing people etc. But you had to play forever to do so and there wasn't a cheat so I stopped playing it.

Hope you can do something to unlock everything in this.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

E3 announcement? or sooner?

Definitely around E3. cant see them doing it any earlier as they wouldn't want to take the spotlight of L.A. Noire

When is E3, a few months away? perfect amount of time for some hype then E3 rolls around and BANG.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Grand Theft Auto IV is the greatest game I've ever played, can't believe it's already been 3 years. Rockstar are amazing and I cannot wait for the next installment.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Update from superannuation's twitter page -

Grand Theft Auto IV's working title was "Frozen", Hollick (the voice of Niko) explained in an interview in 2008;

http://uk.kotaku.com/5010866/

He auditioned originally for motion-capture; the game he was told he was auditioning for was called "Frozen." And he had days where he came in to work to find a script that was "50 pages of just screaming. In these you're jumping off of something, in these you're shooting someone, in these you're being burned alive."

http://uk.kotaku.com/5010866/

"Frozen"?

"Rush"?

Pattern?

(Appearantly, Rockstar opted to use a working title for GTA IV, so that the voice actors were not aware of working on a major budget video game, thus, paying them less than what Rockstar would have if the voice actors had known. Hollick was only paid $150k for his work in voicing Niko prior to finding out it was the next GTA title.)

I loved Vice city I wish they would re make it D:

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

This makes me extremely happy. I just dug out GTA IV last night, before even seeing this thread.
If its even slightly better than GTAIV or Red Dead Redemption, I'm going to lose my s**t.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

this is going to be ****ing awesome

 

[Ry009]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

What is this? I don't even....

Vice City was good, but a massive upgrade to San Andreas would be good, even if a little repetitive, SA for me was the most engrossing of the series (gameplay and story wise)

Wants this now.

 

[Myki01]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Hi all,
I would really like to see Rockstar take GTA to a different country and leave Los Santos/Vice city and liberty city behind.

An ideal setting would be the late 70s early 80s' in England when the skin heads were pretty big.
Either way whatever city it ends up being i will buy the game for the fun of running people down.

 

[SUNS]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

My vote goes to Grand Theft Auto Geelong

What would you find in your normal GTA game that you would not come across in Geelong

 

[justlookingaround]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

Oh my, for the last hour or so I have just been looking at videos of GTA SA, GTA VC and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.. that is seriously all I used to play
Ahhhh nostalgia...

 

[rofltown]

Re: Grand Theft Auto V??

GTA4 was great but then again its so cool to be non-conformist these days so i guess it sucked....

if they're gunna do this they need san andreas not just los santos
