GTA San Andreas 2 - The New GTA 5 Game Location or Name?

Update November 2, 2011 - Well we can officially say that GTA 5 is located in San Andreas. We don't know yet if it's officially consider GTA San Andreas 2, but after watching the trailer, it's obvious the location.

This screenshot from the GTA V trailer tells you all you need to know.
Yes, Vinewood is Hollywood in the GTA world. That's San Andreas!

Previous San Andreas 2 News Updates:

Since nobody knows about the next Grand Theft Auto 5 release, it's free for us to speculate. A lot of the debate so far has been about whether the next game will be GTA 5 or will it be an extension of a previously released GTA game? We thought about GTA Vice City 2 as a possibility, but recent rumors suggest a location elsewhere. What about GTA San Andreas 2? It would appear from leaks around the internet that Hollywood seems like a real possibility. No evidence directly, but recent casting calls for actors indicated strongly that California/Hollywood will be the next GTA location.

Would Rockstar release GTA San Andreas 2 instead of a full fledged new release like simply GTA 5? Some of the reasons for a second game such as GTA San Andreas 2 would be based on the lack of real innovation within the GTA engine. If the next GTA game doesn't improve with leaps and bounds, perhaps making a sequel makes more sense.

Also consider possible GTA San Andreas 2 release dates. If this game comes out in 2012 or late 2012, is that too late for a release based on the new Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo gaming consoles? The fact is that most late game releases don't do well. GTA 5 will do great for sure, but if they wanted subsequent game packs, they simply may not have time to milk the game for all its worth. So I suggest that timing is a big part of GTA 5 vs. GTA San Andreas 2.

Of course this is all just specualtion. Nobody knows yet what the plan is. Even if there is a GTA announcement or leak, they may still not spill the beans on what the acutal name of the ame will be. Sure a few pics or videos might surface in the next few months but that doesn't mean that Rockstar will actually confirm specific details.
