Flight180Victm Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Now first off, I know R* has said hundreds of times that characters from the III Era can't cross over. But I was thinking, could they still use them in the multiplayer? Think of Red Dead Redemption. They used the characters from Red Dead Revolver in the multiplayer. I don't know if the universe thing is the same with Read Dead, but they put the characters from the 1st one in the 2nd one's multiplayer, just not in the story. I think it would be cool to play as an HD Tommy or Claude or C.J. in the multiplayer of GTAV. And it's not the story so they don't actually exist. Any thoughts?

B Dawg Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That's a pretty cool idea! But it needs to be hard to unlock. Otherwise you'd only see CJ's and Tommy's in multiplayer. XD I disagree. Barely any people in SAMP play as CJ or Claude. They use all the other skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess you mean the modded SA online thing? Those people are modders and are more likely to use other skins.. Casual people often want... ah well I dunno.. I guess that a large portion chooses this, and the other that. Just.. make it hard to get those characters because they are kinda special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Notorious MOB Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think we should get the SA characters but aged because of the setting, now that would be sick! I don't think this would be a good idea since I would much rather play as Tommy in his mid 30s rather than Tommy in his early 60s. The OP's idea is a really good one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakerhead. Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Maybe in multiplayer the only way to unlock them is to do something really hard that you did in the original SA? To unlock CJ, you might need to kill a whole crew without getting killed. (In Multiplayer of course, maybe yo could get a achievment called "End of the line"?) To unlock Ryder, you would need to still supplies from the enemy turf without getting killed? (Like the mission where you had to go to the Docks with Ryder and make sure he doesn't get killed while getting the crates.) To get Big Smoke, you will need to blow up a train while driving a Motorcycle? I could see this working, I think in MP3 they had the MP1 and MP2 chracters as Multiplayer characters.

jamieleng Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It seems R* have different rules when it comes to the RDR & GTA 'Universes'. Red Dead Revoler did have some more 'wacky' elements, while Redemption was more realistic & serious in tone (much like 3D era & IV). Although Redemption did reference characters from Revolver when you listened to the campfire stories. I think it's more likely we'll see characters from IV in multplayer & maybe dress them in classic clothes from the previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Notorious MOB Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 How about to get Tommy you have to kill ten men before killing your target? (presuming a mode similar to Max Payne's Takedown is included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzzin Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think it will be very dependent on how they treat multiplayer characters. One thing to remember is that Redemption is that you played as preset characters and unlocked new characters in multiplayer. In GTA IV you created a character and were given more customization options as you progressed. I'd prefer that they didn't give you preset characters, but allowed you to customize. I still think within that system, you can do things like offer customization that calls back to earlier games. I could see a GTA III pack with Claude's jacket, Tommy's clothes, and various clothing options from San Andreas. Ultimately, I think they are definitely going to offer some multiplayer callbacks, but it will also most likely be through paid DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they made it so you can have your own customizable character along with preset characters like mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran B Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Kinda off topic, but it could relate to V in a way that you could play as past GTA characters on multiplayer, Max Payne 3 multiplayer featured a DLC which you could play as characters from Max Payne 1 and 2. So it's definutely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjeev142 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 My god, I think this is possibly the best suggestion I've seen on the forums!!!

GTA_REEFER Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 This had been brought up before. I would much rather have the customization that saints row had for their single player. and we can just make all the protags via create-a-character coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Mitch_Baker Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 No...just no. I don't wanna play as R*s gay characters, and I really hate seeing other people playing the same character as me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
