Crossing Canon

Throughout the III era, there were numerous cameo appearances and side stories involving the protagonists and characters from other games in that canon. Do you guys suspect that GTA:V will take place in the same canon as IV? Seeing as how Los Santos has not been done in the re-envisioned GTA universe I would like to see some crossovers from GTA:IV. It would be interesting to see what has played out since the events in IV and what brings the characters to LS.

Anyone else wanting to see any IV characters pop up?

@neato - We'll probably see a few characters from IV, (more than likely not Niko or Roman) but Packie, Brucie, and Little Jacob might make an appearance.

 

@skullking - It's not going to happen. CJ doesn't exist in this 'universe' and even if he does, he wouldn't be the same person as he was in San Andreas.

I just really want CJ!

No. Also see the post above me.

 

I would like to see some IV characters in V. But that's not really necassary.

Not wish to be mod like, but do we really need yet another thread about eras, universes, canon and characters?

 

Look. Here are some existing threads containing extensive discussions about the whole subject:

 

Link: "Universes"

Link: Poll: Do we want GTA V to be in the GTA IV era/universe?

Link: Official Era/Universe Explanation Ending all the other discussions.

Link: what characters are coming back? we know some of them will ..

 

Enjoy.

Seeing CJ in GTA IV TV was enough for me I was happy seeing him.

 

I don't mind seeing Packie and Niko in V but not there serious.

V is in the same "era" or universe as IV so I suspect we'll get some significant cross canon type stuff, mentions of Packie, Niko, Luis etc.

If V is in the same canon as IV (unlikely) then yes we will see cross over characters. If not, then we won't. It is that simple.

Packie was my personal boyfriend for the years I played the game so I wouldn't mind a visit from him.

I hope not. If there are any cameos, I'd like it to be brief or cut-scene only. There's no point in bringing back a whole bunch of IV characters, I'd much prefer a whole new set of characters, with maybe the odd reference. Having too many paths cross just makes it unnatural and cheesy.

Why do people want old characters back? If they did that from the beginning, all you would get is GTA III characters in every game and those new characters you love, CJ for example, would've never been created.

With 3 era characters the most we will get are just references and easter eggs referring to them or stuff they did, which is fine by me. With IV I'm sure some characters might make a cameo appearance or something, Packie and Niko both did have plane tickets to San Andreas so who knows.

Canon means canonical to a story. Meaning what is true to that story, and maybe not to another. For instance, the district of Portland is canonical to GTA III, VC, and SA, but not to GTA IV, or GTA1.

f*ck CJ. San Andreas was good, but only when you got out of the ghetto.

 

Who the f*ck wants to fight crack dealers and rob tvs?
