History WMG / GrandTheftAutoV

** As someone from Houston[[note]]technically the greater Houston area, but still half of his time is spent there[[/note]], this trooper can confirm their is a lot of drug use, and the streets would be awful fun to race through. Though, considering Houston is a fairly liberal city in Texas, either their would be serious {{Flanderization}} going on, or they would possibly use Dallas or some equivalent.[[note]]And yes, Dallas is very, VERY racist.[[/note]]

* TheYakuza: Just because I think that would be cool.

Not really the most "wild" of [=WMGs=], as anyone who's played the business side of the Bikers DLC for more than a few minutes can probably catch the similarities right away. But, the real question is... ''why'' does LJT sound like Lester with a deeper voice?

* A heist of a [[CasinoPark Las Venturas mega-casino]], like OceansEleven. After all, what game can be built all around TheCaper, and not have a heist set in [[VivaLasVegas a Las Vegas expy]]?

* There will be news coverage of [[MaxPayne3 Victor Branco's operations.]]

...and it's Claude Speed. After the events of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto3'', he made himself a [[Website/{{Facebook}} LifeInvader]] account. He figured that since he was mute, he'd have to find a way to communicate to other people besides simply staring at them. He meets Lamar, flies to Los Santos, events of the game kick off.

* However, as evidenced by at least one side mission, the state of California exists in the universe of ''RDR'', whereas in the ''GTA'' universe it's known as San Andreas. Any connection between the games will likely be in the form of BroadStrokes not unlike [[GTARadio the continuity of the radio stations]].

Carl didn't exist in the HD continuity, but what about Denise ? What if she had married at some point a certain Mr. Clinton, keeping his last name even though they are no longer together ? What if her... *ahem*, "feminist" convictions were born out of spite for the life she had in her youth ? What if her disappointment in Franklin wishing to distance himself from the gang life was a result of her own ghetto pride ?

*** 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 cannon (and if it is, he can easily clone himself), whereas this ending (hopefully) takes place after Ending C, where Trevor kills Steve Haines.]]

** [[spoiler: This is going under the idea that the "Kill Trevor" ending is non-Cannon. Assuming it is (or the next game has a mechanic of borrowing save data a la ''Franchise/MassEffect''), the mission will change to finding how Trevor went down, or getting RevengeByProxy on his associates in "Trevor Phillips Enterprises".]]

* Nope, they're Cannon. [[RuleOfCool Because it's Badass that way]]. [[MemeticMutation Your argument is invalid]]. (Also, he exploits the rules of ConservationOfNinjitsu, and the fact ALL the mooks enter the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy. '''ALL''' of them.)

They will turn out to be a HUGE {{Deconstruction}} of their former incarnations. After all the emphasis on deconstructing in GTA V, what better way to continue this trend, than to deconstruct the events of the entire franchise. Like for example: Claude Speed could be shown as completely unlikable hit-man, [[OnlyInItForTheMoney who only care about getting paid]] and [[ChronicBackStabbingDisorder has no loyalty to anyone]] and would shoot a woman he just saved, just so she would shut up. Or Tommy could be a ruthless crime boss, with no code of conduct what so ever. They can also deconstruct the end result of said life styles; Going from just an enforcer from Liberty City to the king pin of Vice City, has made Tommy one of the most wanted man in the country and a bigger target for the FIB, than Micheal and his gang could ever hope to be. Plus (Assuming his shot up body isn't already buried.), all his allies are either dead, dead, he left them in San Andreas, or dead and cannibalized, so he has no friends to go to and if he's even alive still; at this point in the time line, he is a lonely old man, [[DentedIron far out of his prime, and covered in past injuries.]]

*** The Families are under the scope of an alien invasion, but Franklin is the only one available and competent enough to fight them back. The finale will be a xeno-were-vamp superfusion, just for the hell of it.

** As someone from Houston[[note]]technically the greater Houston area, but still half of his time is spent there[[/note]], this trooper can confirm their is a lot of drug use, and the streets would be awful fun to race through. Though, considering Houston is a fairly liberal city in Texas, either their would be serious {{Flanderization}} going on, or they would possibly use Dallas or some equivalent.[[note]]And yes, Dallas is very, VERY racist.

* An elderly [[LANoire Roy Earle]] will make an appearance and get killed by one of the protagonists.

* GTA V netted over a billion dollars ''in one day.'' You bet there's going to be more of it. It was suggested there would be a female PlayerCharacter. And each game hints at or does away with what was shown previously (Tommy's gang are from Liberty, Ken and Kent Paul end up in San Andreas, the three storylines in GTA IV interconnect, the Ballas had fought back and taken over Grove Street, and [[spoiler: Johnny is killed by Trevor.]] With ''SonsOfAnarchy'' still [[{{Pun}} riding]] high why wouldn't Ashley be in a future game. She has every reason in the world to be. And were it for GTA VI it would be a way to kill off Trevor, Michael and Franklin [[spoiler: as revenge for killing Johnny.]]

** That, or they think RideToHellRetribution has poisoned the BadassBiker well for everyone, and is killing them off as RevengeByProxy.

** Since RideToHellRetribution was originally meant to be a WideOpenSandbox, featured a BadassBiker that looks like he was ripped out of the Lost MC, and was [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible universally panned by critics]], expect a lot of cheap shots at that, especially with the Lost MC in the Blaine County region.

* 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 ''RedDeadRedemption'' shout outs.

A running trend, seen both in this series and notably in ''RedDeadRedemption'', is that you can't truly escape your past and will be held accountable for it sooner or later. Like [[spoiler:Johnny]] before them, they'd be brought back only to be KilledOffForReal.

* There will be an InUniverse documentary about the events of RedDeadRedemption, entitled ''The Rise and Fall of Abraham Reyes'', or ''The Truth About Edgar Ross''.

According to her life invader page, he's a bit condescending towards her, correcting her social mannerisms. But, he is a surgeon who saves lives for a living, and according to Lamar, runs a charity to help sick children. All signs point towards him being a ''good'' man, just not a ''nice'' man.

* Going with one of the above guesses, a BattleLosAngeles themed DLC. I can definitely see a mission involving Michael having to take his family to a safe zone, with this conversation ensuing.

Stitches around the neck? Ability to manipulate the flow of time? Sounds just like the Dio of the third arc, Stardust Crusaders.

* Expanding further on this, Trevor will be killed by the craziest and most violent of the protagonists in the next game. [[spoiler: This will establish a RunningGag for the series; The most violent protagonist in each game will be killed by the most violent one in the next game.]]

* A DLC taking place in North Yankton shortly before the prologue, where you control Michael and Trevor, with Brad replacing Franklin as the third character. [[spoiler:The final mission would be a NintendoHard heist, specifically, the heist from the prologue, now retconned to be far more difficult.]]
