Alternate characters?

As you guys probably know from different threads, we can see that Trevor is having a '' Michael '' tattoo in a cross on his left shoulder at 4:22 from the gameplay trailer. Why? Does that mean he knew Michael '' Saint f*cking Michael '' Keane from GTA IV & he's having this tattoo as a tribute or Michael from GTA V is going to die at some point in the game? Ok maybe it's nothing but it doesn't fit Trevor's character at all. I know you guys are going to tell me about the free roam & special abilities but I don't think that means anything... Maybe if Michael/Franklin/Trevor die at some point we'll be able to control a alternate character just like John & Jack Marston in RDR. Apparently there's multiple endings, I don't think it's going to happen but I wouldn't be surprise if there's 3 endings where either one of the 3 protagonists could die.

 

Michael... Jimmy could easily take his place. We all know he's going to be involved at some point in the game anyway. They said in different previews that Michael walking & running style is kind of slow because of his age, well, Jimmy is fat & probably going to have the same of kind of aptitude even if he's like 20 year's younger. For the safehouses & others he could get them too RDR style.

 

Franklin... Lamar - They grew up in the same place, even if they don't have exactly the same minding but Lamar could easily take Franklin spot for free roam. I know the game ain't out yet but there's a lot of similarities between them even if it's obvious that they don't always get along... Repo job, heists, gang wars... Lamar can handle that.

 

Trevor... We don't know much about his friends yet & there's no perfect match for the moment. Ron? Nah, he's too old. Anyway I think there's nooo way he could die. Michael & Franklin relationship have something to hide I'm sure whatever it is but even if Mr. Phillips is a crazy motherf*cker I'm sure he's loyal.

 

Personally I don't think it's going to happen but who knows... 2/3 characters are easily switchable with immediate relatives once the storyline is over. What do you think?

St. Michael is one of the principal angels; his name was the war-cry of the good angels in the battle fought in heaven against the enemy and his followers. Four times his name is recorded in Scripture:

This is very stupid...

Why? 2 of last 3 major games from R* had endings like this. Like I said I don't think it's going to happen but that tattoo... Look at the video at 4:22 & tell me how stupid it is to see '' R.I.P Michael '' on Trevor's left shoulder, there's no 300 meaning to this.

I think the thinking Michael was dead already (before witness protection) is the most logical theory so far.

 

The least Michael could do for Trevor is pay to get that removed though ...

Someone should send r* an email asking if any of the protagonists will die, so we get a confirmation.

IMO it would be really stupid if one of them dies

Yeah... I don't know. Having that tattoo is one less spot for the player to get some customized stuff. Maybe we can remove it San Andreas style but that's kind of unrealistic, we'll see.

They wouldn't do it again, besides, do you really want to play as f*cking Jimmy?

Yeah, because Rockstar would SURELY tell some random person a major spoiler of the game, even though they won't even confirm the use of fuel in the game. sigh.gif

You can see the tattoo on his shoulder in a cutscene with Michael in it.

 

/thread.

 

 

One more thing, it doesn't say R.I.P. Michael, it just says Michael.

Hypothetically if a protagonist dies do you think R* will make it so blatantly obvious by having a irremovable tattoo on Trevor? Think about it for a second....

I simply think it's a tattoo that we can put on Trevor that has no hidden meaning.

 

It's possible the choices you make throughout the game will effect the ending of the game as apparently the game has multiple endings and one of them endings could involve death. We shall have to wait and see but the tattoo is irrelevant.

Michael wasn't Michael before WITSEC

I still don't think it's the way OP think it is

No reason to speculate, really

Since this whole thread could be a just a bunch of predictions, I'm going to leave my entire post as a spoiler alert. Read at your own risk people.

 

I think there will be a separate ending where each one of them or a combination of them will die. Only because if Michael is in WITSEC, then why would he be there in the first place? Why would he have a "sweet" deal from the FIB? Would that mean that maybe, just maybe Michael's family isn't really his family but an elaborate cover, and maybe Trevor finds out and his ties to the military give him that sworn oath to never rat on anyone, where as Michael is the opposite. I mean, how the hell do you even get a sweet deal being a bank robber other than being a snitch?

maybe all characters have the same tattoo designs and you can give Michael a tattoo of his name because some people do that

Keep dreaming, they will never reveal that information, so you can post it on here and spoil the game for 1000's of players

First of all, NO PROTAG WILL DIE. Rokstar confirmed that during the latest Q&A, haven't you been watching.

 

Second - There are no suitable characters to replace them, Jimmy is the opposite of Michael, Lamar is the opposite of Franklin, unlike RDR character (you've all played it, f*ck spoiler tags)

 

Third - Why so many spoiler tags? You're GUESSING, not revealing the story.

Yep, these Spoiler Tags really put me off.. They ain't cool and make this thread a pain in the ass, not to mention bringing this Tattoo sh*t back up.

 

Nothing suggests Michael Dies. If you want to believe it, cool.. Good on you, but it doesn't.. and you'd be stupid to fall for it.

Omfg gta iv didnt even have gas tanks on the cars to shoot n explode. Meaning no bodys thinks filling up gas tanks is just a Grand idea, since that would make everything in a sandbox game Slow AF! R* did put up that Get A Life buulding to teach you that lesson, n many believes that so

One more thing, it doesn't say R.I.P. Michael, it just says Michael.

It does say R.I.P. on the top ribbon. Look, here it is blown up and enhanced:

 

user posted image

 

The options I could see it being are these:

 

 

It could be a tatt you can choose yourself.

 

It could be a reference to 'Saint' Michael Keane from GTA:IV.

 

Perhaps when Michael went into witness protection, his death was faked. Trevor thought he was dead and got the tatt in tribute. He later discovers Michael is still alive, perhaps even as part of the GTA:V storyline.

 

Or perhaps Michael does die during GTA:V.

 

 

 

When Franklin walks in the room with Michael and Trevor, who are in the same room, you can see that Trevor has that tattoo on his arm already.

Thanks. That rules out number iv from my list.
