lucifer636 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Sorry for my bad English but you may understand my point. Back in 2013-2018 (GTA forum and other community were digging into every single Easter eggs or theories that hope of Niko bellic may return to SA as upcoming DLC). But NEVER HAPPENED! least till the date of 2-June-20. my question: Is Rockstar really letting it go away just because of the voice actor (which can be replace by a good voice mimicry actor) controversy? Some of you may agree with me that Niko Bellic is the only protagonist which perfectly fit in the mechanicism of GTA. (yeah yeah i know Trevor is also good but still Niko leading here). Niko bellic suppose to return in GTA V (or online) as DLC but haven't happened yet (least by theories back in days xd). So what do you think, is rockstar planning it for GTA 6? Maybe not a playable character but as NPC? P.S dont say a little fanboy crying lol but i believe Niko Bellic has to do something with GTA 6. If we notice he had been refereed many times in gta v and doomsday heist directly or indirectly. https://ibb.co/vLpZ1jY Edited June 2, 2020 by lucifer636 WanteD1 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/956140-niko-bellic-in-gta-6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer636 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Maybe its not retired. Act II - The Bogdan Problem The IAA calls a meeting in the Bellic Enterprises facility to discuss a plan to take down Bogdan and his crew. Everyone but Cameron Cooksey return for this job. This time the main heist crew is Niko Bellic, Xin Voliteer, and Sasha Byrnes. It is revealed that Bogdan and his crew are hiding in a submarine just off the shore of Paleto Bay. Phoenicia Rackman lays out several jobs that must be completed in order to take down Bogdan. The crew are tasked with stealing a Stromberg (a submersible vehicle that can transition from land to sea) and stealing an Avenger (A vehicle that can transition from helicopter to plane, armed to the teeth with anti-air weapons).

Alright getting the IAA involved and forcing him to work for them is the only way I can see him come back. But this is fan fiction. After V and it's heavy focus with doing jobs for the FIB I really really don't want the next GTA to focus on doing jobs for the government it's boring and takes away the focus from being a criminal we're criminals in GTA not spies.

For the Dan Houser, he wasn't only single person in the company. Sam Houser and most impotently the entire R* team from corporation decision making to game testers are involve in the creation of the GTA. Its okay if we give credit to one man "Dan Houser" for entire GTA.

pingli Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I love Niko, hes maybe my 2nd favoirte GTA protagonists, but I don't want to see him suffer again, being back in crime and all. IMO Roman and Him finally live some sort of peaceful life ( I believe the ending where Kate dies is canon ) and aren't involved in any sort of crime anymore. I also belive he heard that Bulgarin got killed so he finally got some peace to be an uncle ( Assuming that Roman and Mallorie eventually have a child together ). Maybe it would be cool to see the Bellić family on some sort of vacation together as a strangers and freaks mission, but I don't want to see him anymore as a cold bloded gun for hire.

Racecarlock Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Ok, look, I know Niko was a good character and all that, but he had a complete and satisfying arc in GTA IV. Bringing him back at this point would just be fanservice, nothing more. He would be there to make you point at him and go "Look, it's him!" and then that's it. And, that being the case, I could make an equally compelling argument for him being in the next mortal kombat game. I would feel the same way if tommy or CJ or claude came back. Or, for that matter, Michael, Trevor, or Franklin. Throwing Niko in there won't magically make the story more well written or compelling, he'd have to have a purpose, a goal, motivations, and an effect on the plot of your story.

If you're going to have him partake in the same crazy heist stuff that was in GTA V, why does it even need to be Niko? Why would Niko even want to get back into the life of crime at all, let alone help the IAA steal high tech vehicles in order to take down whoever this bogdan guy is? I mean, this is what I mean about fan service. He has no reason to be there, and the only reason he is there is so you recognize him and go "It's him!" even though it would actually detract from the story of GTA IV for him to be there. What was the point of all the suffering, loss, and shootouts in liberty city if he was just going to end up back in the life? This is stuff you actually need to think about if you're going to throw Niko in there.

Patrizio Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 By the time GTA 6 comes out IV will at least 14 years old (good God how is that possible?). Niko was alluded to in V and that’s enough.

Honestly unless it sounded exactly the same it would feel like cheap fake Niko and be the only thing you could focus on. Even just knowing it was a different actor would make it feel unauthentic and undo the whole appeal of bringing him back. I don't think it would be wise to try it, and I don't think they would. I think it's more likely they'd work something out with the original actor than try to pull that off, if they really wanted to bring the character back.

It might be technically possible, but I feel like the knowledge that it's not really the same voice would bother people a lot. Wouldn't be the case with every character but the voice is just such an intrinsic part of this one. I bet it wouldn't even be as much of an issue to bring Michael Hollick back as people say anyway, he really never trashed the company, always clarifying that wasn't who he was aiming his criticism at, and I'm pretty sure if they wanted him back he'd jump at the chance at this point. I also just don't think there's much chance they'd want to bring him back as a character though. His whole thing at the end of the game was he was done and wanted out of the life of crime.

Controversially I don't mind how they brought Johnny Back in V lol, but I agree. If they tried to repeat that same thing again and bring him back in a dramatic/controversial way/just to kill him off it would be bad. And him being a crime boss or whatever wouldn't be believable. Only way I can see it working well is if it was a really random cameo where he just happened to be somewhere but no big twist or story to it, just for good feeling/nostalgia. Like I think of how he's walking in the street as a random citizen in the intro of TLAD, something with that vibe. Unlikely though.

I mean nothing against Troy Baker, he’s a very good voice actor and good at doing a wide variety of roles, be it Joel from The Last of Us, Pagan Min from Far Cry, or Erron Black from Mortal Kombat, he’s really good, and his Niko impression was fine. But honestly, he’s probably too well known for Rockstar’s liking, and at this point it’s going to become a meme of how he’s in every AAA title these days. If it’s not him then it’s Nolan North. Even so, I think Niko’s story is done and told now, so personally I’d say that we should just leave him be.
