Breaking Bad influences

So we've already seen that Trevor has what appears to be a meth lab within his trailer. This is one hint as to a possible Breaking Bad influence on GTA V. I'm expecting a few missions, or a small story arc that resembles Breaking Bad a bit.

 

Does anyone feel the same as I do?

I think Houser said he doesn't watch BB and other programs so he can have an original story..... But I'm not sure

Well houser isn't the only one adding ideas and story plots to the game, they'll be doing a lot of spin offs of Tv Shows and Movies. I can see some Dialog references or maybe a in the desert drug trade, actually I believe that'll obviously be in tbh.

Breaking bad didn't invent crystal meth.

 

Sorry to put it so blunt but I really don't see a connection there.

The Wolfman

When i first saw trevor i already knew he was a meth addict, just look at his hair. And he wears the same clothes every time i see him. He has all the symptoms.

This. I'm really confused as this sort of thing happens a lot (citing one very recent example as the "influence" of something that's been done 100 times before it). I imagine part of it is due to the age range for most fans of the game.

 

So no. Pointless thread.

I didn't say Breaking Bad invented Crystal Meth.

This topic is to discuss the potential influence of Breaking Bad on any part or parts of GTA V.

Just like Vice City was influenced by Miami Vice, and San Andreas was influenced by Boyz N The Hood.

But so far there is no evidence that breaking bad has influenced GTAV. The Sopranos on the other hand has had a clear influence and the movie Heat is probably the biggest influence for GTAV.

 

It's still a great show that I've recommended to several people but I see no connections whatsoever.

Once again, this topic is to discus the potential influence. Potential being the key word here...

I didn't say GTA V is going to be influenced by Breaking Bad. I simply wanted to discuss the possibility of it, seeing as there is a meth lab in Trevor's trailer.

 

Isn't a forum a place where people can discuss things like this?? Or am I missing something?

And we're saying that a meth lab does not indicate any Breaking Bad influence. So you're wishing to discuss the potential influence of something that there's no evidence of in the game? I don't understand what you expect. People posting random crap from Breaking Bad?

Once again the fact Trevor makes meth isn't enough to go on to think there is possible connection. That's like saying fast and furious could be a potential influence because Franklin drives fast cars, or like saying the game was influenced by Jaws because there are great white sharks. There's not enough evidence to have a decent conversation about why it could have had an influence on the game.

Next you'll be telling me Breaking Bad didn't invent trailers!

A lot of people are seeing people point out the connections with Heat and are trying to pinpoint connections with Breaking Bad, yes there'll be some references surely but they won't be as abundant as some people seem to think or hope.

Sadly something tells me I might have to at some point.

Dan Houser did say that he hasn't watched Breaking Bad. But the Houser's have lied before.

As much as I love Breaking Bad, I hope that Rockstar doesn't allow it to influence GTA V. Unless it involves Trevor saying, "Go Mikey! Go Science!"

DJ Pooh is also writing GTAV and I doubt that he has to bite off of a tV show as a accomplished writer him self with a couple of great movies that he has written. But There may be some Braking bad type scenes in GTA V

They're not being 100% truthful, trust me:

Vice President of a biker gang, with a junkie ex-girlfriend, in constant disputes with the president on how the club should be run, during a war with a rival biker gang. Sounds like The Lost and Damned right? Well guess what? That plot was ripped straight from Sons of Anarchy, proving they watched modern crime TV.

Didn't they say we could come across a failed drug trade in the desert which is similar to breaking bad?

You still believe something Houser says? He is just a liar and he is saying things which don't even have a bit of truth. So believing in anything he is saying is like believing someone is always forecasting the correct lottery numbers

even if Houser doesnt watch BB or any other TV shows, hes not the only one that has influence when creating the story for GTA V, other people could have easily input ideas that were inspired by Breaking Bad.

 

Im almost certain that Trevor's story will involve alot of similarity to Breaking Bad............the train robbing episode comes to mind, that would be an awesome mission in GTA V

I wouldn't want it to be so obvious if there was because it'd seem unoriginal, I wouldn't mind little quips or jokes though.

Hmm, good point. I thought about this too, but I don't really think so.

Although, I hope I can make Trevor completely bald and give him a beard like Walter White smile.gif.

Honestly, stop being little ungrateful sh*ts and calling the Housers liars, god knows if he even knew they were going to change these things at that stage. Honestly, it's a god damn television show, what reason does he have to lie about not seeing it?

 

You people are pulling this sh*t from your arses just to cause a temper tantrum on the forums, f*ck off please. icon13.gif

With VC based off of Scarface and Miami Vice, and GTA V based slightly off of Heat and perhaps other movies I think it's pretty f*cking clear that every GTA is inspired by TV shows/movies.

The meth trade made the idea Breaking Bad, not the other way around.

The biggest influence to BB I've seen so far is the relationship between Michael & Franklin. It is very similar to Walt & Jesse's. Father/surrogate son, Mentor/apprentice, Teacher/student. Michael is a master at robbery (just like Walt is a master at chemistry), and Franklin is eager to learn, and get away from those that are holding him back (exactly like Jesse!) So yeah, I really do think R* was inspired by that odd duo. In BB, there is a scene where Walt accidentally calls his real son "Jesse" by accident. That has always reminded me of how Michael called Franklin "the son he always wanted."

 

Just my opinion, anyway.

EDIT: Walt & Jesse is around the same age as Michael & Franklin, too.
