  • The ENTIRE Rockstar Multiverse Explained.
    The Rockstar Games Multiverse has been debated about forever. Does the GTA 6 trailer have an RDR 2 character? Is Red Dead apart of the GTA 5 universe? What about LA Noire, Max Payne, Bully or Manhunt? Is every GTA game connected? Are GTA 5 easter eggs, just that? Today I'll try and answer everything about The Rockstar Game Multiverse in detail.

    Carcer City is mentioned in GTA III, before the release of Manhunt on Flash FM, as being "nearby", so probably in the State of Liberty, in the 3D Universe at least.

It wouldn't make sense for this to be a show in Grand Theft Auto 5 because GTA 5, and pretty much every GTA in general have usually comical and comedic commercials and movies. L.A Noir might not be the most serious at times, but I'd say it's more serious and dramatic than something in GTA 5.

  • @Gambito99100
    @Gambito99100 Před měsícem +26

    My theory is that cities and states simply changed their names at some point in the 20th century, Liberty used to be New York and San Andreas used to be California back when Arthur and John were alive, but later got renamed and became what we see in GTA, with stuff as car plates and turism billboards being simply old stuff that no one ever bothered to change (which fits with the running theme of GTA that the US is actually a pretty run-down country), and then when characters mention California and Florida in GTA, they are simply referring to the old names, which everyone in that world understands actually mean San Andreas and Leonida.

  • @musicalhistory4392
    @musicalhistory4392 Před 2 měsíci +93

    GTA 3 references Miami, Carcer City, and New York I believe. From there that meant both versions of cities could exist. Red Dead takes place in the HD universe mostly because some assets carry over and references like that book. It would surprise me if we don't have references to Saint Denis in GTA 6 since they are the only 2 active franchises with Rockstar right now.

      Yes, exactly. That was why I said that Manhunt is in the 3D universe, instead of HD because even though it's mentioned in the HD universe in GTA 4 and 5, locations can cross universe, just not characters, so Carcer City can exist in every universe, but James Earl Cash can't.

      My explanation that I would give to that would be that the real life names of the locations are only nicknames or simply other names for the same place. Vice City has the other name of Miami, and New York has the other name of Liberty City.
      Leonida is commonly named Florida, by Niko in one of the Eddie Low missions in GTA IV. Sort of like how we call Chicago the Windy City, sometimes, in real life.

    GTA’s United States is so confusing.If San Andreas coexists with California, i wonder where San Andreas is. It’s an island, but then again Trevor implies that the GTA 5 map is only HALF of san andreas when reaching Paleto Bay during the “I Fought The Law” mission. San Fierro and Las Venturas have been mentioned many times in GTA 5 and 4 so maybe we just can’t see the other half. there are also US maps found throughout GTA 5 that show all 48 states except the islands of San Andreas and Liberty City.

    • @JetroYT

      Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's canon that San Andreas is supposed to be an island. I believe it is only like that for gameplay reasons and is meant to be connected to the mainland. But you are right, I have no idea what this world of GTA looks like exactly, but I hope it's something Rockstar confirms one day...

    It is covered in the start of the video that Rockstar themselves say that background characters/brands and things on the radio can exist between universes, which makes it more likely that references to California or anything outside the GTA universe on the radio or within advertisements etc. could be considered transient and not tied to the actual game universe it exists in.

    I believe Red Dead is in the Grand Theft Auto HD Universe. There are references to California in GTA V and GTA Advance. My headcanon for this is that the names of the states changed recently enough for some old people still remember it and have passed it on to a handful of people.

    • @JetroYT

      I tried to map the rdr map and gta map and it could be connected, but the scale is way off. As in 5 different states in the state of Louisiana.
      I’d argue that the storyline is canon, but in the same way Gta San Andreas and V are connected. The events happened since Dutch’s grandson is canon in gta online along with the German family being the grandparents of El Rubio, the book from Jack Marston, and the Bigfoot hunters grandson, but the map and direct events are likely slightly different.
      Just pretend it’s a movie adaptation of real events. It’s essentially the amount of differences that would be seen if that were the case.

    • @Warcriminalwastaken

    I always thought that the characters mentioning real life locations as opposed to fictional ones was always used an expression of sorts like when Niko sarcastically mentions he's from Florida to Eddie to making it more obvious that they're joking or exaggerating.

    Manhunt happened in the 3d universe... Carcer City just happens to exist in the HD universe as a locations as well.
    I saw a theory somewhere that some version or another of the story's events still take place in the HD Universe. San Andreas doesnt explicitly happen in the HD Universe, but the story could've implicitly happened in the timeline with undetermined changes.

    Cannon, things about this universe theory. Like, for example, in the HD univere. The redemption takes place in the past. Grand theft auto takes place in the present and ones like Max Payne and l.a noire Are actually movies in the HD universe. As they were not developed by rockstar but could still technically take place as entertainment

  • @jolo6051
    @jolo6051 Před měsícem +1

    I think there is one game you left out of this theory and that's Red Dead Revolver with Red Harlow. I think it's important since numerous characters reference Red Harlow in both Red Dead 1 and 2. We can even find locations in both games that resemble some locations from Revolver. But, even still, I think the answer is quite simple here. Red Dead Revolver is simply a tale. A story that's been told by the people in Red Dead Redemption where Red Harlow is much more of a legend or just a story than he is a real person. Of course, maybe the story of Red Dead Revolver is based on true events since we can find some locations that tie back to Red Dead Revolver roughly, but that's really it. That's what I think Red Dead Revolver is and what it contributes to the timeline. It's just a western story that's been told by people about a gunslinger on a path to seek revenge on the western frontier that may or may not be loosely based on real events.

    • @JetroYT
      @JetroYT  Před měsícem

      Unfortunately, the reason it isn't mentioned is because Rockstar confirmed Red Dead Revolver and Undead Nightmares are not considered canon to the Red Dead timeline, and therefore the rest of the timeline.

    One of my favourite radio stations in GTA SA was WCTR; I remember hearing about Carcer City in a radio programme.I believe it was a programme in which people called and talked to the hosts because I think I remember something in the lines of the host arguing with the caller about Carcer City or asking the caller about it. Nevertheless I remember Carcer City being mentioned in San Andreas.

    • @spaghett1705

    The biggest thing is maps, what connects these games are the maps, the red dead game's use fictional names for their states, maps dont line up to exist in the same universe.
    Manhunt is easy, it take place in the 3D universe, but i think it also implies that manhunt manhunt may exists in the HD universe too. But yeah even before manhunt was made or released, gta 3 refernces carcer city so many times with even a tie into events into manhunt 1, manhunt 2 is 3D too but almost no games reference cottonmouth where it takes place

      It is a good theory and has been mentioned a lot, but the reason it doesn't work is because it is confirmed in GTA 4 that Liberty City was founded in the 1600's, way before RDR took place.

    The way i look at it.
    The gta timeline is sorta always evolving as in whatever the current games say the older games fit into that so stuff from the older games happend just not exactly how it happened in the original universe i know its dumb but its my head canon and i always think of the rdr games being in that universe and those games sorta support my theory as the second game references red harlow and the events of red dead revolver and Rockstar said that wasn't completely canon so it falls under my theory it happend sorta

  • @aircraft2
    @aircraft2 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Midnight club is definitely not in the same universe as say GTA because they literally feature LA where as GTA has Los Santos.
    Max Payne 3 featured a part in New York (New Jersey actually but close enough) and I believe LA was also mentioned by Max sometime in the story.
    LA Noire I also doubt is in the GTA universe, those references to it in GTA 5 could've been a similar story playing out in Los Santos.
    Also, its very weird to imagine that in the GTA universe real life cities exist along with their counterparts, so we have what is essentially a duplicate of New York, LA, Miami etc along with the real life version? Very strange

    • @JetroYT
      @JetroYT  Před 2 měsíci

      I know that it’s weird for there to be 2 cities, I agree. But again, all I’m saying is there is way more evidence to support this being true, than the opposite.

  • @Adamdya
    @Adamdya Před 2 měsíci

    If the two city canon did exist that would be extremely weird considering how close related they might be, like New York with Liberty city, thats just odd, GTA universes don’t include cities that already have a parody of em like NYC or LA, but other cities around the country might exist

  • @callmeghost316
    @callmeghost316 Před 24 dny

    I think Rockstar never mentioned that real-life cities aren’t actually in the universe with the in- game counterparts simply because it should be assumed and they didn’t feel like it was necessary to say so. I think posters, license plates, etc that have California, Miami, etc. might just be developers having fun with it because those things mean something to them. Like for instance maybe a California license plate in GTA V is put there with the same numbers that their license plate used to have or something. I save all my old plates every time I move to a new state.

  • @Mashfi23
    @Mashfi23 Před měsícem

    Here's my take on the thing (I have very little about the Midnight Club and Max Payne series, so I'll not include those here):
    • GTA 2D Universe: no other game
    • GTA 3D Universe: Manhunt games and Bully (Miami and Vice City both exist)
    • GTA HD Universe: Red Dead Redemption games (Florida probably has changed its name in the period between 2008 and now; can't comment on California and New York though as I'm not too knowledgeable on the RDR series; Bullworth Academy most likely looks the same in HD universe Bullworth as in 3D universe Bullworth)
    And also- places with the same name but in different universes aren't the exact same city; it's like New York City in the Spider-Man (video game) universe not exactly having the same layout as New York City in the Prototype universe (and countless other games)
    So Carcer City in the 3D Universe probably looks nothing like the Carcer City of the HD universe, much like Vice City and Liberty City

  • @Mrcc893

  • @shahnoorahmed1462

  • @trixter2009

    I've always thought that hearing things like New York or California, is just OUR very own universes interpretation of the locations found in the GTA Universe. Kind of like how when we watch movies where the dialogue is English, but the film is set in a different country with a different language that we can't speak. It's just a translation of sort to make it more easily understood without having to learn the language, or in this case learn the new locations.

      ​​@@JetroYT I feel like that Bully is in HD and not 3D. In GTA IV we can see Bullworth Academy on TV Show, not only that but we can also see the poster of the Sequel 2 Movie, and to find the first Sequel Movie we can find it in theatre in Bully. So Rockstar might confirmed that Bully is in HD and not 3D. If it's true that Bully is in HD Universe, then non-chronologically Bully is the first HD Universe game. I also don't think Max Payne 1 and 2 is in 3D Universe while Max Payne 3 is in HD universe. I feel like Max Payne Trilogy is a standalone game with their own universe and doesn't involved with GTA. I know there's a Hydra picture in Max Payne 3 which was a hint to GTA V having Hydra. I don't really know Max Payne, because I haven't play it. But I may be wrong about Max Payne
