Returning Character  

84 members have voted

  1. 1. Which, if any, character would you be okay with returning in a new story, new setting?

    • Niko Bellic
    • Tommy Vercetti
    • Carl Johnson
    • Luis Lopez
    • Trevor Phillips - his optional death is not canon in GTA V
    • Michael De Santa - his optional death is not canon in GTA V
    • Franklin Clinton
    • Claude, as long as he has a proper voice actor.

Why is everyone jumping on the "they would just be killed off" train? Yeah sure we've had two protagonists get killed, and one of them wasn't even designed as a protagonist when he was written.

 

Just because Johnny K was killed doesn't mean everyone has to be utter idiots and blow everything out of proportion.

One character I wanted to see more of after finishing his game was Johnny from TLaD. Not because I liked him all that much (I didn't) but the character had so much potential for development and backstory. Plus, well, bikes. But of course they completely f*cked that up in the next game.

 

Niko would be interesting but he's been through a lot and I'd just let him retire.

 

Michael also has some potential which I think wasn't used at all. He is an interesting character in concept. I'd like to see him solve some actual problems, not just whine all the time. Or maybe he could return to some actual gangster stuff like a regular mafia boss. But it would probably make more sense to just create a new such character from scratch.

 

I don't care for 3D era protags though I won't be surprised if CJ pops up someday.

I demand Claude to be voiced by a Hungarian man with a terrible stutter.

Niko, as long as they don't f*ck up and kill him off, or Trevor as long as Rockstar gets some f*cking sense in themselves and has the next protag stomp his head into the pavement.

No Victor Vance?

Vic Vance died in Vice City's intro:

 

 

Hey what about Toni Cipriani? He was quite underrated! Tommy Vercetti reusing Ray Liotta, CJ reusing Young Maylay and Toni Cipriani reusing Danny Mastrogiorgio maybe that might be good :p

Even though I sound like a fanboy, CJ would be a cool side character to see. But, he probably was never even born in this universe.

Trevor Phillips in his younger years.

he would be toned down in his personality, with hair, less confident and more human, i'm really interested in his background and life with Michael before the events of V, Niko in a prequel would be cool too, in the balkan wars or something, a snow covered map made up of country side and european cars to steal.

 

didn't choosed Tommy because they said that are done with 3D characters.

I wonder how they could bring back Niko, and without stuffing up his character.

I'd love to see Niko in another game , but after I've seen what they did to Johnny , It's better if he isn't coming back.

Too true. Knowing how Johnny was brought back Niko would probably be addled on speed, or something similar.

3D era would be too old, maybe as Bosses if they return.

 

 

I don't want Niko back. His story should end the way it did; Kate dying him helping Roman with his family.

Luis...... Hell no. Unless he gets a Johnny death.

 

I would love a game involving Trevor. I'd like to know what he was up too after North Yankton and maybe have some post-V stuff too involving his business and clearing out Blaine County of the other gangs.

 

Michael....... he's done too. Happy with his family and legal job.

 

Franklin..... ugh. I'd rather not listen to him bitching about having to do this or that again.

I wouldn't really want to see any protagonists come back for a cameo, although I feel that a prequel DLC focusing on Trevor and Michael in North Yankton would be good. If not that, then maybe one focusing on Franklin and Lamar before V.

I would like to see a game with Niko and LIl Jacob as two protagonists set in the Caribbean and Central America.

Luis and Claude, odd choices maybe.

 

Luis because I feel like he was practically disposable already- not "into the trash," but like... not even a protagonist, someone to be used rather than played. Most of his gameplay revolved around backstory that happened to fit him into a role in the story. This is true of most video game characters' backstories, but his was especially moldable and I feel like it wouldn't even make a difference if he happened to be an NPC or not. He was plastic and is easily divorced from player identity imo.

 

Claude because the lulz of him having a speaking role in a future game would outweigh any damage R* could potentially do. Gilbert Gottfried should voice him.

Niko Montana

I would love a return to Niko's story. Just as long as they don't completely f*ck up his story like

Johnny

 

Also, I just can't see Niko anywhere else except for Liberty City. It suits him too well. That being said, Niko in Carcer City would be interesting.

Before I give my opinion: why is Tommy and CJ on the poll? Seriously, move on OP: the 3D era is over, old 3D characters can't comeback now into the HD universe.

 

OT; I would love to see Niko. Think about it: the next game we go to LC for something, meet Niko and he gives the protagonist advice or some sh*t. Just to see Niko Bellic again, man...

well pretty much every character from IV who appeared in V has had their character ruined, so none of the above
