sonkanjin Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 So Rockstar said that each character belongs in there own universe. but After the new edition of V, Niko Belic and other old protags are playable online So will we be seeing the streets full of Cjs Nikos and Tommys? But does this end the universe theory rock star told us Or is online classed as a shared universe or None cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinterj Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Online is a closed, shared Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shattered-minds Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Online doesn't even have a universe, it exists outside of the game(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dope_0110 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Online has nothing to do with the single player story. That's why they can put in anything in there. Though by ''previous characters'' they didn't yet confirm there will be 3D era characters so it may still only mean there will be IV and EFLC notable characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racecarlock Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't really get why people cling so heavily to the idea of universes and eras anyways. Serious hypothetical question. Would you support rockstar if they did bring those old characters back as a part of the story? I ask because whenever I posit that a story can be too dark or that a fuel system is bullsh*t and useless, I always get hit with "Don't worry, I'm sure rockstar can make it a good part of the game". I'm just wondering if you would still be supporting them like that if they did decide to bring those old characters back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffinCapBackBlue Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 R* is full of sh*t and that whole universe theory is complete bullsh*t that was just something they pulled out of their ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAfan786 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The universe theory exists only within the storyline (single player). Online is completely seperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggoud Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think the universe theory means III, VC and SA are one universe, and the IV and V are another, so technically, if I've got this right, IV and V are the same universe, so it doesn't exactly destroy the universe theory, it makes it more or less concrete. I've never bothered to understand the universe theory, because frankly, I don't care., so I'm probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would hate them for bringing any of the old characters back. sh*t, most would love it, and some just wouldn't care. But we jump on those simply to tell those kids who never bothered to read anything about GTA games, and came here screaming ''I WANT CEE JAYYYY IN GTA V'' that there is such a thing as universes created by Rockstar.

Yeah, but what if (WHAT IF) they did decide to merge the universes? Would they still get that support? Because I see a topic on the front page right now that's all about how special abilities ruin the GTA vibe or something. Ok, so they trust rockstar with a fuel system and a story that slits it's wrists while attending a poetry slam at a goth cafe, but the minute special abilities get involved then all of a sudden GTA is ruined.

Snake Without a Tongue Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 R* uses the "universe" and "era" schtick the same way they said Tommy Vercetti couldn't swim. It's a conceit to shut contentious nerds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieleng Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Troll, but I'll bite anyway. The numeral doesn't dictate the universe. It's 2D, 3D & HD (IV & V are in HD Universe) Have I paid the toll, troll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universetwisters Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't think multiplayer is cannon with the rest of the game. That's just me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntuntuntuns Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 the best way to explain the Universe theory is just think of the James Bond film series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonkanjin Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Wonder if it will be a copy and paste model of a old protag or a new re-drawn one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetx1xracer Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's just their character models, it's not them. Umm if its their character models then it IS THEM. yes but online characters dont have a story for that specific game. Its just characters you play as for online, not single palyer.
