Would you like to see RDR references in terms of story and characters in GTAV?

  1. 1. Would you like to see RDR references in terms of story and characters in GTAV?

    • Definitely! Both series share the same gameplay and spirit. RDR could be the past of GTA series.

    • I'd like to see minor references but don't think their worlds and stories should be combined
      45
    • No references. I don't want the series stories and worlds to be mixed. I prefer them to be separated IPs
      18
    • I don't pay attention to that kind of details

In the last generation of consoles, San Andreas included references to past GTA games like III and Vice City. In PS3/XBOX360 generation we had IV and Episodes, but out of the blue, and quite different from its predecessor, Red Dead Redemption took most of the gameplay style of Grand theft Auto series to bring us what, for most of us i think, is a very similar Gran theft Auto experience. Despite the fact that they should stay as different IPs, do you you think their history, humor, etc, could be combined into one world, just like San Andreas did with III and Vice City? Do you want to see big references of RDRedemption in GTAV?

Actually, it's more like GTA games refrencing Carcer City from Manhunts series. But RDR story happened chronologically so long time ago, I don't see them mentioning much. Maybe name a few places in the wilderness after the protag or major places in RDR.

I hope so. In my mind RDR is the best game I've ever played and it strikes me as sort of the early beginning to the universe in which GTA takes place. It would be cool to go the movie theater in the game and see like short movies based on RDR or something as if it's connected to the GTA world. Like maybe John Marston is this world's equivalent to Billy The Kid as far as legends and stories and such. I personally think this would be a dope ass idea.

It would have been nice to have them in the same universe. I have thought about it before, but I realised that I think California is explicitly mentioned in RDR, and what with SA being the GTA equivalent of California, it would seem a bit jarring (to me at least) to have California mentioned in RDR and then RDR mentioned in V, where there isn't a real California.

 

Hope that makes sense.

I'd certainly love to see some references and easter eggs, but unfortunately they are not in the same universe, as in one of the beginning missions for RDR, Bonnie MacFarlane states "Manhattan it is not" when talking about either her ranch, or the state of New Austin (I can't remember which).

Probably not. It's a different universe. And even if it's not it would be long time ago and characters won't remember John Marston or anyone. Plus there is a reference to California. It isn't a fictional name for the state. Carcer City was mentioned becouse it's a fictional name and they can use it in the fictional universe of GTA.

Yeah as others have said, RDR is set in a different universe. California, Manhattan and Brooklyn are all mentioned.

This idea got thrown out the window as soon as Bonnie Mcfarlane said "Manhattan" instead of "Algonquin"

Would be awesome if you find an allusion that one of the towns was Armadillo or blackwater before, or even a little are that is the same from RDR, or even better: Tumbleweed

 

but since RDR is takes place at around the mexican borders, I doubt it. I would have voted yes, but there no such option because I don't agree with all of them confused.gif

Well RDR referred to previous GTA games so why not? As long as it's nothing major.

Sorry, where did RDR refer to previous GTAs?

I'd like to find John Marston's outfit somewhere, wear it while I'm... well, horsing around.

Real life places like California and New York were mentioned countless times in RDR. Therefore the two stories will never come together, however I could image RDR references in some hidden spots around the map.
