The in-game radio stations say the millenium is coming, yet Rockstar itself created a little fake journal promotion dealie for the game that features entries dated from the year 2013...

*ponders*

But yes, every game with the possible exception of GTA2 (depending on if you want to believe the game itself, or the game's official promotional material) takes place at present day, in respect to each games' release date.

And each game with an official number rang in a new game engine for the series.

So it could be either or or neither or nothing or nonsense.

What about other games with roman numerals? They're such fascinating figures... Why do we even use them at all anymore? *ponders*

Because they look cooler and more dignified than our numbers?
