What stuff do you think they'll have in V that will pay homage to San Andreas (the game)?

Place names, familiar (but redesigned) locations like Mount Chiliad, Grove Street, etc. Maybe a few subtle references to the gangs in GTA:SA.

The hell you talking about? CJ Existed. Secondly the only fools in the forum are the people that attack others to make themselves feel important. The truth, out.

In GTA IV they had little things paying homage to the earlier games.

Yup plenty of easter eggs related to Grove St. such as tags and some related to Ballas/Vagos/Aztecas also the landmarks such as Vinewood sign, building in centre of the city, watts towers etc.

no hes not. in GTAV, cj has never existed, neither has tommy or claude. these are all new people. and in this era nothing that happened back in sa, or III liberty city or vice city has ever actually happened. thats a different story.

I'm sure LS will have a cemetery, so I think it'd be neat to have ghost graffiti make a return in it. I always thought it was a rather peculiar thing in SA, would be nice to see it again.

That's not to say they won't pay homage, in GTA IV Niko could wear Claude's outfit if you got Playboy's safehouse. Also, I believe I read somewhere R* said that they all met some end before GTA IV was out when asked if they would show up in GTA IV. Not that they didn't exist.

Maybe an homage type thing. Remember the building in IV that had a bunch of vice city graffiti everywhere? I think something similar to that. Maybe some old GSF and CJ murals scattered around the city.

I would love to see some tags about that would be cool, but in reality its so rare for a tag to last that long. What with weathering, buffing them off etc.

 

But then again this is a game, so its perfectly easy to include them haha tounge2.gif

Eras are a made up thing made up by fans...claude wasn't mentioned in gta IV because there was no crossover in the story, it wouldn't of made sense. However in SA, it's obvious some things from SA are returning eg Jefferson Motel, vinewood sign, that really big star shaped building, and quite likely grove street will feature as it played such a big role in previous games. III had no landmarks which warranted a return, unlike SA. For example of VC was re-created, some of the landmarks which may return include the film studios, Tommys mansion and maybe the Malibu club.

warriorofsanandreas

the tower in gta sa where u can parachute off returned

obviously

 

so I'm expecting to see more locations return (maybe with different names?)

i think for sure grove street will return, maybe not in a major capacity but the ballas, grove street gang, aztecas etc. were just such a huge part of the 2004 game that i would imagine they'll be back for the new game just not in a major playor position. there will probably be little side mentions of the 2004 game gangs and storyline, i can't see how they won't give a nod to that hugely popular predecessor

Wow some people are dense.

Of course some things from the old LS will return because it's based ON THE SAME CITY! Of course the Vinewood sign will return! What, you think they'd leave that out? That's like leaving out the Empire State Building from Liberty City. The same with the chinese theater, those big buildings downtown, the pier, etc.

But this is a new LS made from scratch, with nothing to do with the old one save the name. Exactly like they did with IV's Liberty City. The characters and places from old games will not return because in this world THEY NEVER EXISTED.

 

It's a different universe. A Los Santos reboot.

 

At most you'll get some easter eggs, like a graffiti with CJ's name on it or his outfit. Not Grove St., not CJ himself. Get over it.

 

Oh, and btw that's not the Jefferson motel. That's just some random building that happens to look like it. Most hotels look about the same, if that building is even a motel.

lol, why are you and a few others convinced that this is a "new universe". i think it's really unlikely that references to the 2004 SA will only appear as easter eggs and not something a bit larger, the game was immensely popular dude.

Maybe we will be able to get a special outfit somehow, that would be very related to San Andreas.

@Seksy, good eye, didnt catch the jefferson hotel.

 

I hope they keep that up with familiar landmarks, When i saw Chilliad and the Vinewood sign in the trailer... brought it all back.

The "new" Los Santos need some gang counterparts to the RL Los Angeles, so why not revisiting the Ballas (Grape Street Watts Crips), the Grove Street Fams (Crips), Los Santos Vagos (Latin Kings and 18th Str), Varrios Los Aztecas (Surenos of southern California) etc.

I was wondering if they would do that again.. please share your resources, as you have been privy to some facts.

 

I can only speculate and give my opinion.. I THINK..because NOBODY knows yet.. I THINK Rockstar may try to do like they did in IV, and scrap all old charecters and history from that location, just re-use it.. I dont like that as much as I am very into GTA story and want to see the charecters from previous games.

 

Now, I HOPE that we see charecters like The Truth return, and I did hear that the voice actor of CJ was at Rockstar Studios.. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yoLIDKJcQs) So possible he plays some part in the new game (wich is not hard to believe as Grove Street will no doubt be a landmark.) Toreno's return would be epic..

exactly, i can't see how the major players from 2004 won't make a reappearance in some kind of interactive way

Well Toreno dies at the end (come on no need for spoiler tags here) so maybe they should bring Jules instead. Now THAT would be f*cking epic
