GTA Collection Is A Possibility

Collections and compilations often do very well these days.

And while publisher Take-Two Interactive won't confirm a Grand Theft Auto collection, they also won't rule out the possibility.

GTA installments are often re-released (November's next-gen iteration of Grand Theft Auto V is an example), but the franchise has never seen a complete remaster akin to the upcoming Halo Master Chief Collection .

So, might we return to Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas at some point? During an investor call (as cited by GameSpot ), Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick explained the situation:

"In any given year we and our key competitors launch new intellectual properties and new iterations of older properties. And occasionally, when we see a platform shift, we will take an old property and create an iteration of that in a very similar form for next-gen. And we wouldn't rule anything out. That would be driven by the market opportunity that we perceive, and the potential for delivering a quality release. And that would be very much something that also would be driven by the passion of our labels [Rockstar and 2K]."

Zelnick added that it wouldn't be a "mandate" for their IPs, and their job remains the same: "Make sure that consumers are thrilled; to deliver the very best titles in the marketplace." Well, if that Master Chief Collection does good things for Microsoft, maybe Take-Two will officially entertain the idea of a GTA compilation of sorts. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
