History WMG / GrandTheftAutoV

* Houston, Texas. If there is one thing Rockstar loves, it's making fun of the right wing, especially hicks and rednecks. Houston's a port town with a lot of gang and drug activity(though a surprisingly low murder rate), with the possibility for a latino protagonist, a Cartel or oil baron Big Bad, and lots and lots of ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' shout outs.

** Alternatively, they could go the ''San Andreas'' route and expand VC into a "Vice State" with multiple cities and towns. God knows there's more than enough craziness in the rest of Florida to fill a GTA game. The obvious additions (besides Miami) are Orlando and Tampa; the former would be worth a visit just to see what Rockstar would do to Disney, while the latter could feature a new plot delving deeper into the Epsilon Program (Scientology's real-life "Spiritual HQ" is in Clearwater, just west of Tampa). [[VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}|Cottonmouth]] could be based on Tampa and St. Mickeysburg would be the name for Rockstar's own Orlando.

[[WMG: [[Series/{{DoctorWho}} The Silence]] made an appearance in the game]]

* ...Um, pretty much any fictional work where "Some Aliens appear, and then you have to kill them all on sight". You're gonna have to be a little more specific to connect it to the Series/{{DoctorWho}} aliens...

** Actually, in a side-mission, a Lost member who hitches a ride with Michael or Franklin (obviously not Trevor, for obvious reasons) says that [[BusCrash the entire AOD gang had been wiped out]] [[OffscreenMomentofAwesome by the Lost MC prior to GTA V]] (likely during the many Gang Wars in TLAD). Now, [[UnreliableNarrator assuming he isn't just bullshitting to make the Lost MC seem tougher]], between this and how little the Angels were developed in TLAD, I think this means Rockstar is putting "bike gangs" out of the picture altogether... unless all the backlash brings them back, and even then, I'd put better odds on the Lost MC making a resurgence before the Angels of Death.

[[TheCuckoolanderWasRight Ron and Chef were right about the alien lizard people being among us.]] It would sure explain all the [[ImprobableAimingSkills strange]] [[PerfectPlayAi in-human]] [[TheAllSeeingAI things]] [[OffScreenTeleportation they]] [[XRayVision can]] [[RubberBandAI do]] when they're after you. Their impossibly large numbers are a result of alien cloning technology which would also explain why there [[OnlySixFaces aren't many different faces]] for the cops and why they can [[WeHaveReserves charge so recklessly at the player]].

[[ActorAllusion Just like]] his [[Creator/StevenOgg actor]]. He's likely in the business not because he actually ''likes'' acting, but just to give Michael a hard time as a director. After all, if Trevor's not going on a psychotic rampage, he's probably [[{{Troll}} trolling]].

-->'''Tracy:''' What the hell- are those ''[[FlyingSaucer UFOs?]]'' '''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Are you fucking kidding me?!]]'''

The Zancudo UFO is being piloted by Aliens who are in the employ of the other country, hence why the UFOs both look like stereotypical Flying Saucers.

* Presumably to make an EvilLawyerJoke on top of YourCheatingHeart?

As a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, the show will be considered a gigantic flop because almost everyone stops playing it a mere ''week'' after release in real life.

*** The boys at rockstar seem to consider what they tried with ''San Andreas'' an over ambitious failure, at least in terms of world building. Maybe the next gen consoles (the next GTA game will almost surely be the PS4/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch (we already got L.A. Noire being made) in the fiture) will give them the confidence to try again, but someho, I doubt it.

* More vehicles

* More safehouses.

* London, England. The franchise version of the trope NowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent, it will be the company's returning to its home roots via its country of origin.

* Vice City (the GTA universe equivalent of Miami). Obviously first seen in [=GTA:VC=], and likewise not depicted in the HD era. Miami would serve as the main city, while the open world parts would have equivalents to the Everglades, and potentially a stand-in for Havana, Cuba. Also, one of the carjacking victim quotes is "[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw this! I'm moving to Vice City!]]", which provides some {{Foreshadowing}} the way a quote from [=GTA:IV=] does: "''God'', I want to go back to San Andreas ''soooo'' bad!"

** I feel like this one is right. And, I have a sinking suspicion that GTA 7 will go to Liberty City, and GTA 8 will go to San Andreas. It'd be a straight up miracle if they actually went somewhere new.

Rockster made the cops overreact to petty things on purpose to show the corruption in the law enforcement within the game. It's not bad programming, the cops are just crazy.

*** If anything, it'll be the U.L. Paper guy, as [[{{CIA}} the IAA]] are better candidates for [[TheMenInBlack an antagonistic government force with Aliens involved]]. Also, [[spoiler: there's the fact his "death" in the "Wrap Up" shootout is unconfirmed to be canon (and if it is, he can easily clone himself), whereas this ending (hopefully) takes place after Ending C, where Trevor kills Steve Haines.]]

[[WMG: Trevor is secretly {{Deadpool}}]]

Rockster made the cops overact on purpose to show how corrupt the law enforcement are in the game. It's not bad programming, the cops are just crazy.

It's confirmed when it comes to Agent 14 and Ron, but when product get destroyed, it gets more scarce and thus in more high demand. In highly populated lobbies where, presumably, lots of cargo gets destroyed, you get a High Demand bonus on your sales. Alternatively, existing drug cartels/contraband dealers pay LJT/Securoserv to cripple the competition, and they can legitimately claim that every time a shipment gets destroyed because a psycho they leaked the intel to destroyed it, so [[XanatosGambit they get paid either way]], and the "High Demand Bonus" has nothing to do with demand and everything with incentivizing risk-taking.

[[WMG: Chris Formage [[spoiler: really is a god, but]]]]

He is a [[spoiler: trickster god]] and the Epsilon Program [[spoiler: is still a lie]]

[[WMG: SF and LV still exist .]]

* Semi-confirmed, i guess? The San Andreas that appeared in GTA San Andreas might be different geographically than GTA V's San Andreas, since they belong in different universes. (GTA San Andreas belongs to the 3D Universe, while GTA V belongs to the HD Universe.)

[[WMG: There will be more than one BigBad, at least three of them.]]

** Simultaniuously confirmed and Jossed at the same time. The Cartel appears, and they are set up as the big bad, but the end up being a RedHerring.

The loading screen blurb for the Doomsday Heist features two important details: A jetpack and a mention of "the depths of Mount Chiliad." Given that the cable station drawing depicts a network of rooms underneath the mountain (one of which contains a jetpack), it doesn't seem too far fetched to propose that the glyphs are related to the Heist in 'some' way.

** While we're at it, a Heist inspired by ''DieHard''. Both will, of course, come with Michael admitting that he SawItInAMovie.

[[WMG: Lester is [[GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas Zero]].]]

As a GTA protagonist, Johnny has cosmic privelages, such as the ability to cheat death. He didn't die, he was wasted and respawned at the Sandy Shores Hospital, ready for revenge.

** [[spoiler: Confirmed on the members of the BigBadEnsemble each being a ShadowArchetype to the PowerTrio: Devin Weston is the CorruptCorporateExecutive SmugSnake to Michael, Steve Haines is TheSociopath [[{{FBI}} FIB]] [[ColdBloodedTorture interrogator]] to Trevor, and Stretch is the {{Jerkass}} {{Gangbanger}} to Franklin.]]

The dude's busy. Smuggling drugs and weapons, maintaining a CEO or Biker Club front, their own heists and the like, they just have too much on their plate as is to help out in any real way.

** To expand more on this for the character: Michael becomes an agent and one of his clients is an Expy of LindsayLohan who is trying to turn her life around(either Poppy Mitchell or a rival to her), Michael wants to help her make a career comeback. Soon he becomes close to her after helping her deal with things like Paparazzi, her exploitive parents and backstabbing lawyers and corrupt judges and seriously he considers starting a relationship with her(due to him having another argument with Amanda over their unexciting sex life), only for her to talk him out of it, Amanda catches them together and assumes the worst, after being told the truth, she calms down and surprises Michael by asking the woman to join her with Michael in a threesome to spice up their sex lives.

[[ActorAllusion Just like]] his [[Creator/StevenOgg actor]]. He's likely in the business not because he actually ''likes'' acting, but just to give Michael a hard time as a director. After all, if Trevor's not going on a psychotic rampage, he's probably [[{{Troll}} trolling]].

First we have Franklin, who is obviously CJ, the sensible, intelligent, motivated protagonist who starts out boosting cars and works his way up to government work and major heists. Then we have Lamar, who is Sweet. Devoted to the Hood and the gang, but ultimately suffers from low aspirations and is far too trusting, getting the protagonist into a lot of trouble by accident. Tonya is Kendl, a character close to the protagonist who gets involved in a relationship they don't really agree with, stresses the importance of the Hood, and gives a lot of missions, but ultimately is of little importance to the story. 'D' is Ryder, a childhood friend of the protagonist who later turned to the Ballas because of money and is eventually killed early on. Stretch is Big Smoke, a high-ranking Families member who also turned to the Ballas and subtly tries to get the protagonist and his friend into trouble at every turn, and is one of the final antagonists to be killed. Devin Weston and Steve Haines are Tenpenny and Pulaski, respectively, the villains who constantly force him into doing 'special favors' for them then screw him over anyway because they can.
