Why No Lastnames?

Well if I remember correctly, the GameInformer preview stated that Michael was in some sort of witness protection program, so I understand the idea of not giving away his full name. Franklin, on the other hand, I expect to see his full name surface eventually.

Because we don't know them yet!

We've yet to know their last names. The only way we would know is when we play the game, or when Rockstar spill them out.

Between the two...I'd rather find them out while playing.

 

I stick to the idea that they are quite important to the story (more than Phillips)...

I already know their names. It's

 

Michael Franklins & Franklin Michaels

 

They just didn't say it in the trailer, because it would be too confusing and we have already handsful of work with mapping Los Santos and the countryside biggrin.gif

Must be a big conspiracy man...

as big as your originality?

We're doomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you getting defensive because your topic sucks? Sad...

Just having fun with people that shouldn't post if they have nothing thread-releted to say.

Now you can answer to the thread's question or go somewhere else...

All that people DID say something thread-related..

You just didn't like what they said. There's probably no reason why they didn't give their last names. I think there are more important things to share with us anyway.

Maybe Trevor-Phillip, maybe he has a partner?

*facepalm* its Phillips dude not Phillip! ... bored.gif ...besides if like you say Phillip was someone else, "partner" like you said, then there should have been "and" between their names mentioned...

My guess would be that Michael and Franklin's last names would somehow spoil their story arc.

Yeah it would defiantly "spoil the story arc".

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not.That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.The reason we don't hear their full names in the trailer is because they all know each other and Dan didn't mention their last name because it would make no difference.No one is going to call Trevor "Mr. Philips".

I'm happy for you...you haven't watched any TV news lately have you?

 

And please put a little more effort in your posts. Read before replying.

Spoiling a story arc doesn't mean giving it all away, even a small detail (such as a last name) could be quite key in defining a character. His past, his present and his possible future challenges.

Uh isn't Trevor's last name Lynch?

 

Anyway as for Michael and Franklin they probably just haven't got around to revealing their last names just yet. I doubt there's any other reason.

No need.The stupid people all have accounts on this forum so you can't find anything more entertaining then this.

Get over yourself kid.What you wrote wasn't a poem of epic proportions heavily peppered with metaphores.It was just a stupid guess.

Damn!You're right!Carl's last was Johnson which is a clear hint at the "Hot Coffee" minigame.I should have known from the start that he would be using his "Johnson" a lot in the game.

 

Give it a rest already...

It turned out that it was translated wrong from a Spanish magazine who simply compared Trevor with Lynch from Kane & Lynch.

In the 2nd trailer Trevor can he heard giving his full name when meeting Franklin.

I don't think it's when he meets Franklin; it's when he talks about "Trevor Phillips Enterprises" controlling the guns and drugs in an area, isn't it?

Franklin is black.

Haha. Reading this topic in its order and then seeing this out of nowhere made me chuckle.

 

Also, it's Franklin Kennedy.

 

Please, O please, someone do mark my words.

I am not talking about GTA San Andreas. GTA V.

And that's why CJ's last name was revealed right away...it wouldn't spoil anything.

 

When I advised you to put more effort in your posts, I was talking about this.

 

 

Give it a rest already...

Am I keeping you here? If so I apologize, you're free to go now.

Maybe he is saying his name is Franklin Black. It could be a leak from a Rockstar Employee!

I sweep the floors over at Rockstar North and I've never heard of a Lewis Miller. And as the head-janitor, I hear about everyone and everything.

I am not talking about GTA San Andreas. GTA V.

For real?I was under the impression that you were talking in a general sense ( which would include GTA SA).I was mistaken...or:

 

Spoiling a story arc doesn't mean giving it all away, even a small detail (such as a last name) could be quite key in defining a character. His past, his present and his possible future challenges.

Not!Where can I find GTA V in this remark,hm?You can do the shuffle all you want laddie.You're not getting out of this one.

 

When I advised you to put more effort in your posts, I was talking about this.

...and when I told you to give it a rest I ment it.That way you could avoid saying something more stupid then you already have.

 

Am I keeping you here? If so I apologize, your free to go now.

Oh no!I'm having too much fun.I do hope that others will come as well.That would make it even funner.

 

 

What does Philips tell you?Nothing. (Edit:Trevor Philips enterprises = electronics company ?LOL....)

What does McReary tell you?Nothing.

Marston?Blank.

Need I go on?

What does Philips tell you? Nothing.

That's why I was talking about Michael and Franklin, not Trevor.

I specified it in the topic's description. And it the opening topic.

Don't go Bosnia on me if you haven't even checked it.

 

 

What does McReary tell you? Nothing.

Why IV? Oh man...

 

What if Michael's last name was McReary...that would spoil it wouldn't it?

This is just an example of course, but you see it now?

 

Also, GTA V. Not IV, nor SA or any other GTA title. Just V.

Again, it has always been quite clear.

 

 

Not!Where can I find GTA V in this remark,hm?You can do the shuffle all you want laddie.You're not getting out of this one.

You haven't even checked the first topic and now you cry that I don't repeat -This Is About V and V Only- every two sentences?

You can't be serious...

 

 

Martson?Blank

Are you crossing franchises now?

 

Jeez...It was all in the OPENING topic.

 

What if Michael has an Italian last name? ... all would know that the mob will be featured...

What if Franklin has an Hispanic last name? ... all of us would know that he's ethnicity will influence his story.

 

Imagine knowing right away that Franklin (for the sake of the argument) is biracial, half Black and half Mexican? That would tell us a lot about what he might gonna experience in the story. Tensions, fears, struggles, challenges...given the racial tension in LA/LS hoods. That would spoil the story.

 

 

Need I go on?

The more you go on the more it's clear that you've jumped into this discussion without even reading what it was all about.

Yeah,him being named Jefferson or Rodrigez would give the story away....

 

Are you crossing franchises now?

Could you slap yourself please?I can't reach that far.(RDR's story was made by the exact same people that created IV's and V's.)

 

We knew that we were going to play an emigrant struggling to find his place in America long before we even touched IV.The same goes for San An,we knew the basic plot before we even bought the game but did that ruin the game?No!If I tell you that there is something sweet in the jar it will by no means spoil its content because you haven't opened the jar yet.You haven't tasted what's inside.Maybe "sweet" was a metaphore.

 

The journey is what really counts,not the destination.
