Don't hate or act like a dick but i just want to know why does rockstar have to have one universe whats the point of a 3d and HD universe grand theft auto is all one game so why can't it be all in one universe i don't get why they have to have different universes please answer this someone smile.gif

 

 

EDIT:I Don't mind if rockstar has different universes its just something i always wondered particulary with the 3d and hd universes

note:i removed 2d because i understand why that couldn't be all one universe with the other universes but what i basically mean is why can't 3d and hd be the same

 

 

 

Thanks for all your replies guys keep em coming! the question might have been stupid buts its something i always wondered biggrin.gif

Thanks for the replies anyway

Yeah man! You're right, I think Rockstar should take all GTA's off the store shelves, cancel and delete GTA 5 and spend all their time and money making one single game with 10 playable characters, a 50000 SqFt map and flyable donkeys.

Yeah i was a little suprised when they basically said not a single character from SA or previous titles will ever return or make an appearance. They can't make a non hd character hd sometime in the future?

Because GTA IV was a reboot. As GTA III was a reboot. I'm willing to bet you didn't bat an eye when they done-away with the 2D Universe and characters.

 

It's so Rockstar can move on to making bigger and better things. If you miss the 3D Universe so bad go play those games. Nobody wants Rockstar to taint that already done-with story and add things to it that doesn't need.

Troll thread, but worthy of a reply anyhow.

 

If Rockstar just had one universe, GTA V would be birds eye screen, with cartoon characters, and I don't think it would sell as well compared to what they plan to release.

In the HD era they aimed to replicate the cities in a hell of a lot more detail. Liberty City is vastly different to III's Liberty, and you only have to look in the Mapping Los Santos topic to see how R* are also applying this to GTA V, but on an even greater scale.

 

Personally I like it better this way, and it obviously works well, even though a lot of people complain that they want old characters back.

It's their way of starting fresh. I guess R* just wants to start with a clean sheet when they work on a new system. Also, Dan Houser doesn't see GTA as a series. You don't need to know anything about the previous games to enjoy GTA V to it's fullest.

I agree with you to an extent. By having the same universe, I don't mean they should release a game where you could play as all the protagonists. But I honestly don't see the harm of having little things hinting at different protagonists. Not exactly have something like a playable character or them be in a mission or a boss of a mission. A cameo is as far as they need to take it. But I don't see what's so bad. In fact the events don't even cross each other because:

 

A. There all at different times (Vercetti in the 80's and CJ in the 90's, Niko in 2008, Michael, Frank and Trevor in 2012/2013)

B. Even if they did happen all at the same time, there all in different locations (other than Michael, Franklin and Trevor in Los Santos)

 

All I'm saying is I'd rather have them all in the same universe, than have them in seperate as it is pointless. But hey, my opinion tounge.gif

No it wouldn't. I'm sure as sh*t positive that if there was one universe we'd have the advancements we do now.

 

Rockstar wants to recreate the world outside. And they're not going to stop until they do. GTA IV - the reboot was another step closer to that. I'm 50/50 on there being another reboot some day. Yes, there is a part of me that believes they are done rebooting the series. I think they're happy with what they have now. The current Liberty City, the current Los Santos. Maybe once they finish recreating the classic cities, they will move onto new ones - but still in the HD Universe.
