We already did... to some extend... with Sleeping Dogs.
Cowboys vs Aliens? That would be nice as a spin-off of both franchise. This is actually something I really would like to play.
It would be really neat!!

It's not real. LA Noire is a dead franchise for Rockstar. Rockstar no longer works with anyone but themselves. Remember LA Noire was a Sony title and when they dumped it because it was failing, Rockstar picked up the pieces and packaged it for release.
It's already been heavily suggested San Diego is working on Red Dead 3.
A story crossing multiple games and multiple studios would be a nightmare to produce. The closest you ever get is the Assassin's Creed series and that's under one company, spread across half a dozen studios.

We should all read his well thought out opinions on why the WiiU is the best console. including such facts as: the WiiU is as powerful as the Ps4 and Xbox, devs are lazy and dont make real games, and power wise, the WiiU is the exact same as the PS4. Probably a safe person to ignore.
Wrong thread?
Edit: never mind, I see now you're talking about the source of this rumor. I was just in the Project Cars for Wii U thread so I though it had to do with that.
Double Edit: Upon closer inspection of the article, wow.

Whether this rumor is true or not, if Rockstar San Diego isn't working on the next Red Dead I am going to be very disappointed.

First off this rumor is shit, but...
Why is everyone assuming they'd lead development? It could be like Bloodborne or The order, where San Diego just lends a hand in some form. With GTAV done they may have the capacity for a side project.

wtf?
Why has this not come to light until now? This clearly some kind of racket between publiushers and Sony/MS. The feds need to get involved asap.

Grand Theft Auto: Detricago 1932
You know GTA setting in the prohibition era, basically a Mafia game but with more GTA freedoms.
I mean Mafia II was great but it didn't have as many freedoms or divergences that the GTA games do have.
So a Rockstar and 2K working together this would be an excellent idea.
Besides we never had a GTA game that takes place in Midwest / Detroit / Chicago anyways.
Mix the cities of Detroit and Chicago together.
Los Santos = Los Angeles
San Fierro = San Francisco
Las Venturas = Las Vegas
New York = Liberty City
Miami = Vice City
So what would the fictitious Detroit and Chicago be called? Detricago is probably a poor name and a better one can be created.

This is incredibly hard to believe. It's so incredibly hard to believe that it actually sounds like--oh, what's the word--total
fucking bullshit.
EDIT:
"(Uncharted 2, The last of Us, Nino Kuni, etc)"
Omg. This post. Hahahahaha. I love how he starts the article with "What's up guys,".
Silly little child.

Well, maybe it's two games in one? You can play as a mafia man and build up your crew, or you can play as a cop and try to clean up the streets. So one game world, one game engine, but two completely different ways to play.
(The LA Noire scenario portion feels more like DLC than a full second game playthrough compared to a full-fledged Mafia title, but maybe if Rockstar is less concerned with all the highfalutin yoke that Bondi focused on in the first game and instead the new team focused on things that complimented/contrasted a Mafia game using that technology and Rockstar mechanics, maybe there's more to it than what the first LA Noire had to offer, something that could avoid the deficiencies of the first game and still capitalize on what people liked of Noire.)
...What he said (Should have read the thread.) Impossible to say if Rockstar sees a future in the character-switching mechanic (GTA5 was a just plain juggernaut, you can't say whether that mechanic sold more copies or not; the developers do seem happy they pulled it off, but who knows if this is the way forward or just a way of refreshing the series for the team,) but they do have something to learn from in making such a game if they do.
The problem with your version of the idea is, it'd be weird to be switching between a good guy and a bad guy. In GTA, you had the same goals, but it'd be hard to imagine a scenario where both the cops (and we're talking hard-boiled noir cops, ones who on any given day may rule or get rolled on the streets, not just the average on-the-dole cops, otherwise it's not Noire) and the crooks would tag-team for the same agenda. I don't see the mafia having much concern for a serial killer or something like that which would keep cops out, and even a gang war that a cop might have to pick the Mafia's side on in order to beat back the greater evil, I still don't see them going about the same missions at the same time for the same ends. It'd be cool if they could find a way to cross them up organically, but a way of doing it is not coming to mind.
