GTA-King Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) 1: 30 I predict that when the 3 all meet together for the first time, it will become apparent that Michael & Trevor despise eachother (when Michael calls him "best friend" he's just being sarcastic). We do not know why, but as the story unfolds, we find out who the true bad guy is (Michael or Trevor). After Michael greets Franklin & Trevor, they begin discussing their first heist. Michael & Trevor are (for unknown reasons) disrespectful towards eachother. As Franklin during the game, we hear tales from both Michael & Trevor separately about one another. As the player, we are constantly challenged which one is the bad guy... until the end, where the truth will be revealed. But anyway, I (randomly) predict that their 1st meeting will be similar to this scene from Breaking Bad. All fans of the show know this scene. : "You're a time bomb. Tick, tick, ticking..." -Mike -Michael = Walter -Franklin = Jesse -Trevor = Mike ^ I personally see tension between Michael & Trevor in this scene... and Franklin is stuck in the middle. Thoughts? I understand if you all would rather talk about steak though. Edited March 4, 2013 by GTA-King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98 in 1 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think you need to lay off the Breaking Bad good sir. I understand you love the show and all, but Dan (or was it Sam) already stated that they weren't going to take from movies and TV shows that much this time around. (something to that effect, don't quote me on that) All these connections you make I feel are just in hopes that GTA V will be as good as BB is to you. But then again, that's just like, my opinion.

Just thought I'd post a (random) prediction since there's nothing else to talk about. Did it pretty much out of boredom...

BlackNoise Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It's possible, but I'm thinking Michael and Trevor will hash things out before all three meet for the first job. I'm sure there will be some disputes throughout the story, but nothing too big. I'm not sure about the "bad guy" aspect though. I think we'll learn some interesting and sometimes negative information about the different protagonists, but I don't think one will be a threat to another. Just some basic conflicts to make the story interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, they'll probably dislike each other because Michael is some well-dressed uptown guy and trevor is white junkie trailer park trash, but eventually they'll see how they aren't different and get along.

GTA-King Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 ^ But what if Michael snitched on Trevor, without him knowing exactly who snitched? Maybe Trevor suspects it was him whenever they meet again, and he notices Michael is living the good life (unlike him). Could be pure coincidence (or luck, to Trevor) that they meet again in V.

Graven Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 1st meeting. Trevor goes for bear hug, Michael for hand-shake and Franklin High-Five. An awkward situation that leads into fist fight because Franklin gives a woman slap to Trevor accidentally, and Michael shakes something else than hand.

Whatever happened between Michael and Trevor seems like something they're both aware of. Michael and Trevor reunite early in the story and it's not their choice, because the FIB is apparently on their backs. I'm not sure exactly what R* means by that, but the FIB clearly has some control over them. It's easier to understand why they can control Michael, but we don't know what they have on Trevor yet. There would be too many plot holes if Michael just simply snitched on Trevor. If Michael is in witness protection because he snitched, I would think the person/people he snitched on would be in prison and not so close to his area. And why would the FIB have them working together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) ^ Good theory. The FIB does seem to have control over them, with the kidnap mission & all. But if Trevor was part of Michael's old crew (that he snitched on), why would the FIB reunite them? My guess is that they will eventually reveal the snitch to Trevor in hopes that he will tie up their loose ends... aka Michael. Seems the FIB could be a major part of the story, like in RDR. EDIT: If Michael DIDN'T snitch on Trevor, maybe during the course of the story Trevor finds out it was him that snitched on the old crew. Could be a crazy coincidence (or luck) to Trevor that Michael got relocated so close to him. The reason the FIB could have nothing on Trevor is simply because Michael never ratted on him. Or maybe the FIB has Trevor under control, so they pair him reunite him with Michael, not knowing they have history.

If that's true, that's kind of sad as well. Being an artist I struggled with wanting to be "original." I was so hard on myself I would scrap something that reminded me of something else. because if it reminded me of someone else's work, it wasn't original enough. Some of the best work out there is inspired by someone or something else. Again, I see this as Rockstar trying to mature and be original. They did this mainly with IV and funnily enough, everyone's favourite mission was a mission that resembled a scene from Heat. So yeah... I hope Rockstar copy, be inspired and show it.

GTA-King Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) @ThePinkFloydSound: I agree 100%. R* is obviously inspired by Movies/TV. Look at IV. The mafia hangs out in a strip club, like in The Sopranos. San Andreas = Boyz 'N the Hood. Vice City = Scarface & Miami Vice. Sometimes it's going to ride in the coat tails of other great things. Breaking Bad started in 2008, when IV was released and V was starting. R* HAS to be a fan of the show, I mean... it's right up their alley. I honestly think Dan is lying when he says they are not inspired by Movies/TV. Probably in an effort to surprise us. If Tommy Vercetti can be inspired by Tony Montana, then Michael can be inspired by Walter White and/or Tony Soprano... Neil McCauley.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I honestly think Dan is lying when he says they are not inspired by Movies/TV. Probably in an effort to surprise us. No he didn't say they weren't inspired by those things, he explicitly said how he avoids such shows so as not to draw too many parallels, which isn't too hard, I haven't watched "The Sopranos" "Breaking Bad" "Spooks" "Boardwalk empire", I should watch them but I haven't the time and I doubt Dan does either. They definitely are inspired by a great many films and shows in the past because they cannot simply unsee what they have seen, I am sure they have seen many films and such and use that as inspiration consciously and subconsciously for their writing. Here's the quote anyway, just for proofs. Q. The closest thing to Grand Theft Auto I can think of that someone is doing in a different medium is the work of David Simon, who has tried to capture cities, in “The Wire” but even more so in “Treme.” It’s quite different, but TV is similar in the sense that people spend 30, 40 hours with a show. A. I haven’t seen “Treme.” I never even saw “The Wire.” One of my weird disciplines is that I don’t really watch a lot of those shows, if they relate to what we do. I only watched a tiny bit of “The Sopranos.” No “Boardwalk Empire.” No “Breaking Bad.” Wherever it’s too close to crime, gangster, underbelly fiction, and it’s supercontemporary, I decided, for professional reasons, I have to avoid it. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/10/arts/vid...wanted=all&_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 ^ Could be lying.... if he's not, just remember that R* has lots of writers. However, it's a really crazy coincidence how Breaking Bad & GTA V uses a pest control company as a front... for different reasons. You have to admit that! http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/Vamonos_Pest_Control http://gta.wikia.com/Bugstars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to admit that! http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/Vamonos_Pest_Control http://gta.wikia.com/Bugstars Yes I am sure they do have a lot of writers, and I believe that Dan doesn't watch the show, it's not impossible to avoid, just because you are a huge fan doesn't mean everybody has to see it or cannot stop themselves from seeing it, I love these kinds of shows, I watched the first episode of breaking bad, but I simply haven't the time to keep watching it and i'm not being the head of a huge company and having big long hours. What I am trying to say is that since Dan doesn't watch it, the overall directive of the story is not going to be all that similar to Breaking bad and other crime shows like that, the pest control front could be a coincidence, pest control uses vans and is a legitimate way to get into a bank and have a reason to drive around with masks on, but if it is indeed stolen it's probably a writer who has seen the show who suggested it, like I said the overall directive of the story is not going to be a rip-off breaking bad, and just because there are parallels, it doesn't mean that they came from breaking bad, it could have been from any number of shows or films, remember, the writers of breaking bad are good, but hardly original, many ideas from that show have probably been ripped from somewhere else. I'm sorry to be rude, but it's just you just come-off sounding like Everything revolves around your favourite TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) ^ Not just Breaking Bad. Yes it's my favorite show, but what I'm saying is that R* has been inspired by Movies/TV in the past, who says they won't with V? Just look at all the references above. For BB references, there could be an RV in the desert, or pedestrians saying "I am the one who knocks!" Or maybe even Michael's family could have the same story element as the one in BB, or The Sopranos for that matter. The fact that Michael is seeing a therapist reminds me instantly of Tony Soprano. It's the little references that I'm talking about. Hell, Vice City wasn't a complete copy of Scarface. EDIT: Michael seems to favor suits, as did Neil McCauley.
