Len Lfc Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Could be, I only ever played SR1, & that was 6 years ago. We do know that Rockstar like to make little jokes at rival games, like SR or Driver, even True Crime. I'm pretty sure there will be something to do with the Ballas & the Purple gang from SR.

Leezy810 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hats are different. But the similarity is that the Ballas wear purple like the Saints. Wouldn't be surprised if they make fun of Saints Row at some point in the game tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that say that, The True Crime series (now Sleeping Dogs) . is Sleeping Dogs now and they have had help from the Guys who help make the combat system in Bully( a Rockstar Game) i've noticed this but never really payed attention until i was told.

BlackNoise Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think it's weird that Volition decided to choose purple as a gang color after GTA SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias_Rieper Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Haven't palyed SR, but its very possible, they ripped on True Grime, in IV. Hahaha. Yeah. This was in SA as well. At the train station for "Wrong side of the tracks", I think. Garbage. So fitting. I mean, TC was decent but that gameplay was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitzyTomb Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It is indeed, but before that it was a color only royalty could wear. Made from smashing the shells of a species of snail that lived along the coast in Greece, and then peeing in it and drying it out and a bunch of other stuff. He doesn't really look much like Julius. He's black yeah, but Julius had a shaved head didn't he? And he wore a leather jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantons Most Wanted Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Funnily enough Saints Row was being developed around the same time as GTASA originally the Saints were going to wear green but once Volition got wind of R* using the same colour they changed it to purple.

Aly Zaroon Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Remember Julius from Saints Row 1? the original Saints Leader, he wore a pretty similar outfit and of course the gang color was Purple,not tryna say anything just kinda wierd he looks similar,an old ass Balla still gang bangin' rofl! Well i guess we can say thats whats GTA V is doin' to SR4. Could be take look back Rockstar's response As a result of such similarities, Rockstar has placed several Easter eggs to mock the competition. In Grand Theft Auto III, the player is tasked with the mission Two-Faced Tanner, where they must kill a "strangely animated" undercover cop. The "Tanner" character is described as being "totally useless outside of his car", a reference to the lack of on-foot actions in Driver 2. Rockstar even went so far as to give Tanner a female walking animation. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, during the mission "Autocide", the targets that Tommy Vercetti must kill are subtle references to the main characters of Driver 2 (Dick Tanner, after Tanner), The Getaway (Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter, after Mark Hammond and Frank Carter), and True Crime: Streets of LA (Nick Kong, after Nick Kang Wilson). DRIV3R responded by including ten hidden enemies named "Timmy Vermicelli" (after Vice City protagonist Tommy Vercetti), who wore waterwings (referencing the lack of swimming in GTA III and GTA VC). The man playing the game insults Refractions (Reflections Interactive). As a mockery of DRIV3R, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas included a mission where, while breaking into Madd Dogg's mansion, there is a man playing an (unseen) video game and making fun of the way the main character walks (Tanner's walking animations were often criticized) and asking how "Refractions" (A spoof of Reflections Interactive, the designers of the Driver Series) could "mess up so bad". Luxoflux, makers of True Crime: Streets of L.A., also responded by putting up billboards in their game mocking the Rockstar Games logo used to advertise jockstraps around Los Angeles, California. In response to the "Jockstrap" billboard, another San Andreas Easter egg mocks True Crime''. This is in the form of the True Grime Street Cleaners company which is widely advertised on billboards around the state. There is also a vehicle cheat code, "TRUEGRIME", that spawns a garbage truck on input, mocking True Crime. One mission features Ryder, before entering and robbing a house, crying "Yeah, yeah, we gotta do it ninja style.", a coin phrase for the True Crime protagonist, Nick Kang. And in a cemetery in San Fierro, gravestones with "R.I.P. Opposition, 1997-2004" can be seen, as Rockstar implies that San Andreas has "killed" the competition. Luxoflux again referenced GTA and its use of remote controlled vehicles in the GTA III era in True Crime NYC, by having the protagonist, Det. Marcus Reed, say at the start of a mission: "Now I gotta be a cab driver for this fool? Next thing you know I'll be flying remote controlled toys and sh*t." Another reference in True Crime NYC, has a driver yelling "what the Blue Hell are you doing?!" when Marcus hits his car, mocking the Blue Hell glitch in the GTA games. When Saints Row 2 was released in 2008, Rockstar did not have time to respond as THQ ran a television commercial that mocked Grand Theft Auto IV for some of its features, mainly Roman Bellic's phone calls. No controversy came of this, and no actual footage of GTA IV was shown, but the ad did feature the Pricedown font, which is the font used on all GTA logos since GTA III.
