History WMG / GrandTheftAutoV

Tracy will wind up joining Epsilon, and Michael will need to bail her out of the cult. While Jimmy will continuously try to join with Michael and the gang on their heists, ultimately resulting in him realizing that a life of crime simply isn't worth the risk.

"Explode Harder"

It's been confirmed that GTAV is set in the same universe as GTAIV. Perhaps Roman and his family will be on vacation. Niko will obviously be absent (as Rockstar probably wouldn't waste the money for a brief cameo), but we may at least get some additional closure about him.

Perhaps in a museum or newspaper you'll be able to read about John Marston. Or there will be an FIB agent named Ross.

Driven insane by his family life, he leaves to live a life of crime instead. After being bored with that, he finds himself a brand new and equally insane family to live with, but now he wants the life of crime back. It's a vicious cycle.

This'll put him on one hell of a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that'll make Niko at the end of GTA4 seem calm in comparisson.

[[WMG: Just as Michael and Jimmy are getting close... Michael's BigBad will kill him.]]

There was a scene in Michael's trailer showing him chasing some guy out of his house with a woman in the background shouting "No, don't kill him!".

Focusing on his life before going into the goverments protection. This is somewhat supported as WordOfGod describes him as a protagonist who "won".

He's a former outlaw which was in Witness Protection right? His name isn't probably his true identity. He might even be a character from a past GTA.

*** Well, with Trevor's new trailer, it seems that he's wrapped up with a gang in Grove Street Green, while fighting gang-bangers in Ballas Purple - in my opinion, this is too much to be a coincidence. So even if the Johnson Brothers or other Grove Street OGs don't show up, they'll probably get a lot of [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] and [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] in the game.

[[WMG: There will be a female character DLC]]

** Rockstar has said no characters from the III-era games will appear.

* Adding to this, the person to give you the mission may very well be CJ.

There'll be some sort of sidequest or mission you can do for them that'll be one big ShoutOut to San Andreas.

This will be used as [[TheReveal the shocking reveal]] for why the player is able to switch between the three at will.

* Or, [[EvilCounterpart they're pretty much evil]] [[{{Expy}} expies]] of the three characters, [[EvenEvilHasStandards without any of the restraints or tact the heroes have]]. Even [[AxCrazy Trevor]] is implied to have a MoralityPet or two (WordOfGod has already confirmed he has a ConspiracyTheorist best friend), so it's likely the [[BigBad Big Bads]] will be shown to [[MoralEventHorizon BRUTALLY]] subvert EvenEvilHasLovedOnes, [[IHaveYourWife and may even threaten to go after the family of the characters]]. Assuming there is a choice to make at the end of the game (outside of which character survives a MexicanStandoff MeleeATrois), will be whether they [[RetiredMonster abandon crime to try to stay with their family]], or [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies abandon their family]] [[ChronicVillainy to continue a life of crime]] - either way, it'll be a BittersweetEnding at best, leaning more towards DownerEnding, and odds are they [[KarmaHoudini get away with the mass-murdering, bank-robbing havoc that was raised in the game either way]].

[[WMG: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin are all [[SplitePersonality different personalities of the same person]].]]

[[WMG: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin are all different personalities of the same person]]

Michael is more Lawful (big "L", not little), not feeling content with retirement because he misses having an active task. For him, money was a means to happiness, one which turned out to be fleeting with his current domestic problems. Trevor is Chaotic, more live-for-now, do-what-you-want-consequences-be-damned. Money is a way to open possibilities with Trevor. Whatever happened between them in the past might stem from this (maybe a heist gone bad because Trevor was too unpredictable and Michael concluded it was too dangerous to live like that while wanting to start a family). Both meanwhile will try to take Franklin under their wing in some way, and by the end Franklin will have to decide whom to side with. Franklin may even TakeAThirdOption and turn against ''both'' of them to nab both of their shares of the spoils - the ultimate pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Between which protagonist survives. At the end of the game, after the BigBad has been defeated, it will be revealed that Michael, Trevor, and Franklin have all double crossed each other in some way. After this, the 3 have a MexicanStandoff. The player then selects their character one last time. The character the player picked then kills the other two, and [[MultipleEndings gets their own ending.]]

And each will serve as an EvilCounterpart or ShadowArchetype to one of the three protagonists. Such as Michael's counterpart being a BloodKnight, Trevor's being the TokenGoodTeammate, and Franklin's counterpart being a DirtyCoward.
