More likely to happen with a less highly rated title first (e.g. the next Red Faction) as it would be more suitable as a guinea pig. GTA V is not the type of release to mess about and try something new and untested with.

You are wrong there considering the Red Faction franchise is finished. 

I was more using Red Faction as an example. And out of curiousity have they actually confirmed that or is that just assumed as Armageddon was a sales flop?

THQ has said that it doesn't plan to continue developing further entries in the Red Faction franchise after Red Faction: Armageddon, the latest in the series, failed to meet expectations.
