GTA needs a serious rest. They did far better work with Red Dead Redemption than they have in a good long while. You know you got a problem with GTA4 needed 2 nearly stand alone games to make it worth having while making good fixes in it to both add-ons. I'd take a RDR game on the 3DS, but I'd run away screaming from yet another carbon copy sandbox crime game as rockstar got to where they're all the same game just with a new coat of paint and it's boring.

I loved GTA4, but found Red Dead Redemption to be the saving grace for Rockstar. I watched the Tony Hawk series fade out, then the whole Guitar Hero plastic controller phenomenon (which I never played, nor care to), and then repeat every year until the value decreases (Madden NFL anyone?). Boredome does ensue, as does the lack of originality, or innovation for that matter. Do we need this next installation? No, we probably don't. Do we pay for it, or download, and worry about the layer break on our expensive dual layer discs. I slap us in the face for the lazieness, and cheapness that has become the pirate in us all. We pretend to download only the crap titles that we wouldn't have purchased anyways, but then when we "Aquire" those great games that we might have purchased (if hacking and piracy didn't exist), we get too lazy, and forget to "actually" purchase these games. The fact that sequels even release is only a server overload on GBAtemp, but not a result in our paying dollars.
I just want to see good games for the 3DS. If Rockstar wants to make anything, I should feel lucky. I plan on buying the 3DS at launch, and will throw amazing amounts of many at games worth owning. GTA, or RDR, and I'll probablly buy it. I'll save the shovelware for flashcarts, like we all do with our current DS systems.
