What are some of your headcanons?

[String]

Claude and Catalina split up and mostly did their own thing upon reaching Liberty City post the events of GTA SA, only occasionally teaming up to pull off a score. Catalina partnership with Claude was mainly just to get CJ jealous and once they reached Liberty they weren't really partners but more occasional accomplices till GTA III

 

Johnny grew infamous in Lost MC history for being the leader that got punked by a meth dealer and was responsible for the downfall of the Lost. Billy's reputation grew as the leader of the Lost during it's golden era

 

You can kind of see this happening in GTA V

 

And as the years went by this posthumous reputation of both just got stronger

GTA Online is not canon, has never happened and might as well be just some wild afternoon dream/nightmare by some pedestrian/random character in GTA world.

I know this is just a very minor detail but in GTA V, there’s a tiger-skin rug seen at Richards Majestic Studio if I remember correctly. I have a head canon that Devin Weston hired some poachers to kill that tiger somewhere in India or Southeast Asia prior to the game’s events and he gave it to Solomon Richards as a gift. I also think that Devin hired some corrupt archaeologists and some of his own men to raid the Egyptian tomb and Native American headdress shown in the film studio. He also gave those to Solomon as gifts even though once again, it isn’t mentioned.

The United States of America as shown in Grand Theft Auto III was decayed, SPANK decayed the American society even more.

 

Nothing good happens after the events of this game, 2001 was the last year when the country and the society somehow held together.

 

The country declined so badly that Michael Townley's movie was a smash hit. Damn SPANK.

GTAIV's Niko Bellic is a reimagining of Claude Speed from GTA 2 but not the GTA III or SA version.

The Pistol in GTA 3 is a 1911 chambered in 9mm, due to the Ammunation clerk calling it a "Nine"

[Dinguspool]

The 3D Universe is a fictional tv/movie franchise in the HD Universe very loosely based on real events (in the HD Universe). But the studios and producers had to change a lot of names and the look of locations to avoid being targeted by the mob or sued by people. Some celebrities appeared in these movies and tv shows as themselves (Lazlow, Love Fist, Phil Collins).

Freddy finds a nanny.

[Dave Mustaine 1998]

Catalina isn’t the head of the Colombian Cartel in GTA III nor is Miguel. Rather, I think it’s just some unknown/unnamed character. I think that Catalina just got promoted to a lieutenant or something. I mean, Claude was clearly just a lackey. I don’t imagine a lackey could be as close with a boss as Claude was with Catalina, realistically.

On the topic of GTA3 gangs, analysing the Yakuza structure, my headcanon is that:
 

Kenji - Waka-Gashira
Asuka - Shatei-Gashira

Kanbu - Saiko-Komon

Toshiro (Kenji's and Asuka's father) - Oyabun

Toshiro's flowchart concept in GTA3's E3 2000 design document heavily implies that he's more like a (Toni Cipriani-level) associate to the Kasen family running the gang rather than being the family head himself (who could be dead/absent). After watching that video, I really don't feel Toshiro fits in as Kazuki/Kenji/Asuka's father.

I just took the design doc as inspiration

In my headcanon, both Manhunt games are somehow semi-connected in some way:

 

In 2001, James Earl Cash was a US army soldier. The government sent him and his crew on a special operation to eliminate a possible terrorist threat hidden somewhere in the Colombian rain-forests, but they also had their private assassin Leo Kasper in on the job unannounced. During his time there, Cash learned excellent survival skills and the ability remain calm regardless of the current situation.

 

When Cash and his crew finally attacked the terrorist camp (which apparently housed nuclear warheads!), so did Leo, but Cash mistook Leo for a hostile (Leo did have to act like a retarded psychopath in front of Cash after all) and shot him. With the government totally pissed off at Cash over losing their best hitman ever, they kicked him out of the army and he was arrested by the FBI, his trial ran for the next two years until he was finally sentenced to death and Lionel Starkweather took notice of this.

 

Meanwhile, Dr. Pickman retrieved samples of Leo's personality from the bloodied bits of his brains splattered all over the recovered warheads and decided to implant it on one of his scapegoats. More precisely, Daniel Lamb...

I really like this. Maybe the series is literally just called "Grand Theft Auto" and has different shows with multiple seasons based on the location like some real life crime shows lol

 

The CJ lookalike on those billboards in GTA IV could actually just be the actor who played him

After the events of GTA III, Joey Leone became the new boss of the Leone crime family and Toni Cipriani was promoted to the underboss. Luigi Goterelli was also promoted to a capo.

Not GTA but other Rockstar games. When Jack Marston was middle aged he moved to Los Angeles to settle down after making his money from crime or as a writer or both, whichever it was. And he's hanging out there retired somewhere in LA Noire. He would've only been 52 during the events of that game in 1947 which is kind of amazing, so I like to think this.

[Dave Mustaine 1998]

Also not GTA but other R* Games, the alternate title for RDR2 is Rootin Tootin Cowboy Shootin or RTCS as its abbreviation.

Feels so weird to me that in the RDR world fake states like New Austin, Lemoyne, etc. replace real ones like Texas and Louisiana but real states like California and New York still exist, but in the GTA world Texas and Louisiana exist but California and New York are replaced by San Andreas and Liberty City...

Part of me wishes they really should have fixed this inconsistency and just merge both universes into one. It wouldn't cause any conflicts.

SPANK causes a zombie apocalypse in the 3D Universe. At first, it affects Liberty City but slowly spreads across the country.

[Guest]

The Yakuza exist in the HD universe as a full-fledged Liberty City gang and Niko, Johnny and Luis have run into and/or worked for + against them offscreen at least once.

GTA IV is actually in many ways similar to GTA 2 and GTA III when I think about it. [MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER GTA I MEAN]

Niko, Johnny and Luis were  briefly seeing each other not during crossover missions. I can imagine how one protagonist witnessed another one causing mayhem or getting drunk with friends

Anywhere City is a futuristic version of Liberty City (2D universe) that got rebuilt and renamed at some point after GTA 1.

 

The tutorial guy from GTA 2 is an older Bubba, who wants to help Claude Speed turn the city upside down in a secret plot to take over Anywhere City once Claude gets killed and the gangs have all destroyed eachother.

 

The Brotherhood of Jah/Yardies relocate to Anywhere City and eventually reform into The Loonies after getting framed by the Zaibatsu for heinous crimes and sent to Sunnyside Asylum. Sometime before GTA 2 they cause an uprising and take over the asylum as their main base.

 

Donald Love gets elected as the President of The United States after the last one is assassinated in GTA 1.

 

The Babylon "gang" from GTA 1 is actually the Vice Squad.

 

GTA 1's San Andreas is San Fierro, but since it's located in the state of SA they just call it that.

 

The Zaibatsu Corporation's origins consist of rogue members of the Yakuza that came to America first before them. They are much more sinister than they seem and are slowly trying to take over the world, spreading into every aspect of society (Media, government, pharmaceutical, and organized crime).

 

Unlike 3D Era's Claude, Claude Speed can actually talk and can be very verbal at times.

----------------------------

Carl Johnson becomes a famous celebrity figure sometime after SA's events. Toni Cipriani whacks him under orders of Salvatore Leone and has to lie low in Sicily for a few years until the heat dies down.

 

After Sal's death the Leone family undergoes a civil war, with half the gang siding with the incompetent Joey while the other half believes that Toni should be the new don. This marks the downfall of the Leones as most of them are killed or arrested over time. 

 

Claude was in love with Catalina while she was merely using him for the money.

 

Diaz's Cartel and The Cartel from III are one and the same.

 

Diaz wasn't the one who ambushed Tommy's deal.

 

Victor Vance gained weight and developed a thick accent during his brief stay in Panama after VCS' events. He was going to quit the drug game until Lance brought him back in for one last deal.

 

Big Smoke was forced by CRASH to push drugs into Los Santos. He didn't want to betray the Families but Sweet's "no drug policy" made him switch sides to the Ballas. It was either that or life in prison. He was less of an antagonist and more of a victim.

 

Ryder and CJ were best of friends until he ran away to LC. Ever since then the two have been at odds and Ryder becomes closer with Big Smoke, eventually getting caught up in his problems with Tenpenny.

 

State of Emergency takes place in the far future after GTA III, further signifying the downfall of corporate America.

-----------------------------

It snows on the final mission in GTA IV

 

Despite TLAD's events, most of The Lost view Johnny as a horrible leader while Billy Grey's leadership is considered the "golden age" of the Alderney Chapter.

 

Niko's "primary vehicle" is the yellow Comet that Brucie gives him, and then later on it becomes the Infernus he acquires from Bernie.

 

IV's multiplayer takes place during CTW, the player character is the same person as GTAO's protagonist.

 

Aliens are real and are hiding amongst the IAA and FIB. Merryweather are reptilians in human disguise (According to Trevor).

 

Trevor and Michael go their separate ways some time after V's campaign. Trevor gradually cleans himself up and eventually becomes a somewhat functional member of society, turning "Vinewood" and becomes a lifestyle coach.

 

Franklin once shat himself while being heavily intoxicated/high and Lamar constantly makes fun of him for it.

[Guest]

After the events of GTA3, Claude became a full-time vigilante crusader and started to clean up the streets of Liberty City. Crime figures started to drop heavily in days rate and all gangs started facing huge losses, eventually they took back their hostility against him in the fear of being wiped out, but that ultimately ended up happening as well.
