Smiley001 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I was looking at Ray Liotta's filmography and suprisingly saw "Grand Theft Auto IV" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Liotta I know Wiki is an absolutely freely editable website but it seemed too formal... Some rumors at Gametrailers and other forums have been suggesting Ray Liotta's return as Tommy Vercetti or voicing some other character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommo400 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If anyone was returning, I really don't think it would be Ray Liotta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley001 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Remember the guy (I don't remember his name) who was the first to beat GTA IV? He stated that " There are some suprising cameos" so let's just hope for something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmanMurman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If he did not star beside Deniro and Pesci, both great actors, in Goodfellas, he would not be anything. He is the most overacting-est motherf*cker ever to be in movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kirbster Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I wouldn't believe it as it's Wikipedia. Houser mentioned that he cut Tommy because Ray Liotta commented on he should charge R* more money "next time". Houser didn't like it so there is no more Tommy in GTA. IMO Tommy was the best protagonist in GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley001 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Although, Wiki I know! But hell, the guy said that even the cameos are worth the wait, so just 8% MAYBE Tommy will be returning. Ray Liotta isn't a voice actor and I have never heard of any actors who have voiced 2 different characters in any GTA. Maybe ped voices but I'm talking about main characters. Ray does only his voice and we know to who his voice belongs to in GTA. Although too bad Ray keeps being greedy as far as R* is concerned. Kind of reminds of Tommy Edited April 15, 2008 by Smiley001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wutangblade Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Seen this thread somewhere before I think but it's not stated on imdb.com so I'd say wiki is wrong (a big shock I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killahmatic Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 i heard there is no one returning from previous GTAs. dont ask me where i saw the info, some interview that was either posted here, or gtagaming forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konvict Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I could go on Wikipedia, go under Samuel Jackson's page and edit in GTAIV in his filmography section. I guess that means Tenpenny would return, aye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 After Rockstar's recent interview in EGM (IIRC) it seems very doubtful he's in it, but that would still be a major cool point because even though he quibbled over the money, supposedly, his appearence is widely appreciated by fans of the series. Most know Ray's good but he's not in Bruce Willis' pay league! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could he ask for more money after delivering a mediocre job at best. Tommy had the best set up, but he destroyed it with his VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellZ Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 i liked Tommy Vercetti, probably my most favorite of the GTA protagonists, and i wouldnt mind seeing him in some form in GTA IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I read elsewhere that Vice City still wins as the BEST over all GTA of all time, and the licensed music and acting talant had something to do with that as well as the fantastic setting (outside of the scale and flat, barron areas) IMHO Either way, I enjoy Ray Liotta in his movies like CopLand, that was enjoyable, as well as some others.. Identity being a good thriller (hope I recall the title correct) After GTA VC he was on Letterman or Leno, something, promoting a play he was in, but didn't bring up GTA at all, so, unlike Lazlow, it was not something he equated with being the best gig he could ask for, yet to me, it is!

Johnny Burbank Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If he did not star beside Deniro and Pesci, both great actors, in Goodfellas, he would not be anything. He is the most overacting-est motherf*cker ever to be in movies. He's had some good roles. But you're right -- not very diverse. And BTW he is a family friend. I am not personally very close to him, but my wife's family is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregatron Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Vice City was often referred to as GTA IV. I am almost certain that is what wiki is reffering to here. Liotta will not appear in IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the most overacting-est motherf*cker ever to be in movies. Thats bullsh*t man and you know it! It was Liotta that made that film so enjoyable and such a cinematic masterpiece, although Robert didn't hurt . Ray played such a great part in that film he didn't even have to do much else to still be a household name (just Like Sam Houser said in the awesome Edge article "He was that good in Goodfellas that he didn't really have to do anything else"). Just the way he tells the story so well and makes it feel so real as it unfolds, oh and as for the dramatic scenes, they are just like some on Pacino's films i.e. you need that for the scene to be effective, and Al Pacino is the greatest actor ever. Also Ray did Tommy better than most actors have done characters in the GTA games (even Sam Houser said that in the Edge article, by the way if you havn't you gotta check that out) despite your comments on his voice acting but thats your opinion man so its cool, may be total cow poop...but its your opinion . As for what Sam said about Ray asking for more money next time, all he said was that Ray should be more cool and stop being a dick and if he wants to be like that all he'll do is get Dan to write Tommy off the story for the next installment although that doesn't mean they couldn't have come to some fair agreement for him to star in GTAIV as a spin-off character (maybe an easter egg towards Tommy Vercetti??) but I wouldn't count on him being it or not being in it becasue we know untill we have done everything in the game most likely. Although it would be cool if Tommy made an apperance, the two best GTA leads meeting I just hope we don't have to kill him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellZ Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) apparently, Norm MacDonald is in the game, too... doubt it, but if wikipedia says it, it's got to be true.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Macdonal...%29#Filmography Edited April 16, 2008 by HellZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafioso86 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 didnt houser himself say he's never using him in a game again? and i hope tommy doesnt come back i hated him. reminds me of my dad thank god. I thought i was the only one that thought he was a prick. I mean people try to act like Lance was some backstabber... but Tommy pretty much screwed the dude over and Lance keeps going to him trying to work it out, but Tommy won't hear it... so what would you do if you were Lance? I'd say f*ck the prick and call up Sonny Forelli. Doesn't really remind me of my dad... though it reminds me of other, more confident asshole middle aged guys I know from Long Island.

Dragnet Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well GTA IV isn't listed on his profile at IMDB, which is official so it's safe to assume he has no involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
