De Silva is a spanish name, maybe Mikey has Spaniard decency?

i really believe its tommy vercetti. out of all the possibilities it makes the most since for a twist. he makes a deal sending sonny to prison and winds up in los santos and starts a family under the name michael. the timeline fits his age and holy sh*t they sound the same!!!

 

i know we wont know anytihng for sure but im gonna just go ahead and say what im expecting.

Yeah , let's ignore all what Rockstar said about the universes and put stupid theories like this one .

I say that Michael is his real name.

 

We know a few things about his past: He was a professional bank robber before he made a sweetheart deal with the FIB thanks to powerful friends. In the two missions covered in previews he stole bonds from an armoured car for the FIB, and extracted an IAA prisoner for the FIB... He's doing favours for them as a part of the deal. This implies he's not in the Witness Protection Program for being a snitch, in other words there is no need for him to change his name.

 

Anyway, the Albert de Silva stuff came from the Rush casting call. In the same call sheet: Trevor was Simon, Jimmy was Kevin, Ron was Jerry and Simeon was Harut... They used fake names for every single character, not just Michael.

 

Edit ^No way it's Tommy. In 2013, Tommy Vercetti would be 62. That twist makes no sense.

Yes, he makes a deal that sends Sonny (Who is dead BTW) to prison.

Even after he's in almost full control of Vice City, he needs protection from whatever.

Then 40 years later, he ages 2 years.

how do you know how old he would be?

 

im actually curious if it ever gives his age in VC...

He was in prison for 15 years, so he's at least 35. It's been 27 years since 1986. What's 35 plus 27? Come on, you can do this.

If I actually believed any of this so called R* employee bullsh*t I would say that's actually a very good theory.

Did anyone actually read what this guy posted in the article about the plot spoiler? God bless america how can you even believe what this guy is even saying when the plot spoiler is probably the most ignorant thing i've ever read, plus it was posted in april of last year.

I say Michael is his real name. Doubt they would market him for so long as Michael, or that Trevor would call him something different. Also, it's bee hinted he got a ''deal'' with FIB to go into witness protection which wouldn't obviously be a real WP, so he wouldn't have to change the name or anything.

Michael probably made a deal that allowed him to stay out of prison by doing "favors"/jobs for the FIB. Not ratting anyone out or actually having skeletons in his closet that would make him concerned about his family's safety. It was just a way out for him.

Exactly what I'm thinking, but people around here seem to think the only way he could've robbed banks and stayed out was to snitch on others. They don't even begin to consider other options that are much more in line with Rockstar's usual storytelling like yours.

Here's a thought I had.

 

 

"Michael" was the name of someone the Michael we play as knew, possibly a friend of his and Trevor. The guy died, which prompted the former's retirement from crime. This would also fit with the tattoo on Trevor's arm. He's honoring a lost friend.

This could be it! I'm thinking his real name must've been Albert.

 

... Or Tommy? wink.gif

My God! I would be so overwhelmed with emotions! wow.gif

I thought after the first trailer and hoped that it was Tommy, but as mentioned before Sonny died, did you play Vice City?

 

I've read that Tommy was 35 in '86 (not from here but other places), so he'd be in his early 60's if he was still alive.

 

And Michael is in his early forties if I'm not mistaken, as I'm sure that was mentioned in one of the previews/

I would love to see it as a form of Tommy Vercetti.

 

I know R* stated that no old gen characters would be in this gen, bit what if R* created a different form of Vercetti? What if the story of VC is a different form of Vercetti, and Michael is the new form of Tommy.

 

My other thought is maybe Michael is a younger brother to Tommy, however I don't know if Tommy had any siblings.

da Silva could also be Portugese, so that 'narrows it down' to Spanish and Portugese speaking countries, and there are a lot of those. monocle.gif

Good question actually, Do any of the characters actually have a surname yet?

Trevor Philips, the rest are unknown.
