The Future of Grand Theft Auto

The other day, I blogged about EA's interest in buying videogame publisher Take Two Interactive, makers of Grand Theft Auto. Apparently I wasn't the only one wondering what would happen to GTA if EA did - or didn't - close the deal.

Here's an interesting write-up in NextGen about one analyst's thoughts on the topic. At one point, the analyst discuss the idea of EA creating a mature-themed gaming world - but I wonder if anyone can ever improve on GTA. To me, it seems a better ploy would be to go in an entirely new/different direction - give us something we have never played before. A game doesn't have to earn an M rating to take over GTA's crown.
