Interesting GTA3 reference

In the GTA V trailer the second last scene is this:

However, this scene really reminds me of this scene from the opening of GTA III:

Does anyone other than me think there may be a connection?

No significant connection, it is probably just some kind of inside joke between the creators of the trailer, wouldnt have anything to do with the story line or sumtin, they did the same thing with the speeding blue car from vice city trailer

I don't expect claude in GTA V but I have a feeling that this is R* way of telling us that V will do the same to reinvent the genre as III did a decade ago. Or maybe include a digital copy of the older game a la Assassins Creed?

What's even more is that in both you can see a building, and a few trees/plants. Both appear to be on a bridge of some sort.

I thought that when I first saw the trailer. Maybe you can play GTA 3 on a video game console in your house? Highlty unlikely but, well... it is Rockstar!

gta 3 is only 700mb, im pre sure there will be enough space to fit in GTA V, i think the map itself will be 20gb+

hmm maybe GTA V is going to be set in Liberty City ? who knows .

Liberty city? sigh.

Not possible, it is confirmed that it's Los Santos and surrounding countryside, and we had LC in the last GTA..

I think he was being sarcastic.

simple, the connection is they've learnt to make more realistic fire tounge.gif

 

Looks interesting, this might be a big stretch but maybe it's saying there's more city behind the highway? I doubt it though but the highway gotta lead somewhere, right?

You guys are looking far too deep. It reminds me of the GTA III bridge scene I admit, but it's likely an inside joke or pure coincidence.

 

I mean there isn't an ambulance in the original.

Eh, not really a connection, more of a coincedence.

While I don't give any care if that's a reference to GTA III or not, I was wondering about the purpose of this scene in the trailer. Is it only a trailer filler? or is there something Rockstar wants us to see, like this possible reference to GTA III, nostalgia? they're from the kind who put things carefully in their trailers to trigger something.

I was thinking it would be great to play GTA III 10th anniversary on the protagonist smartphone!

i think the IV's liberty city is better than the III's liberty city A.K.A new york

...okay? What does this have to do with anything?

Maybe that's all it is - a small reference to GTA 3 to celebrate 10 years since that game. Nothing more.

i was thinking the same thing, because when the trailer came out and gta v was announced i started playing and beating gta pc games so i started with III and as soon as i seen it i remembered it from trailer, its most probably because 10th year anniversary

The real mystery is what else is behind the fire, and how and why it was caused in the first place.

Rockstar is doing that so noobs can go: "OH LOL CLAUDE IN IT OMG AAA!" tounge.gif

Please be informed I am not one of those noobs tounge2.gif

For the people saying "You could fit GTA III into V easily..."

 

It might be a smaller game and easily be fit into the new title, but Rockstar have just started making money selling the older games for Mac and iOS. They're not going to give it away for free a few months down the line.

 

Also, playing a game within a game... Isn't that the premise of Inception?

The ambulance + police appear if you waited for a few seconds in the game though. wink.gif

 

But yeah, an Easter egg or coincidence, that's it.
