Its amazing how GTA V’s prologue took place before the entire events of GTA IV and I just wonder what Trevor and Micheal were doing while the events of IV were taking place.
Also in 1994, Toni Cipriani killed some important made man from the rival Forelli family and this gives him some death sentence for him and has to leave New Liberty City for four years. Salvatore’s reign in New Liberty is facing decline in gang influence as their rival mafia families gotten more tactical and new street gangs are showing up and starting to mark their turfs. 1996/97/98: Niko Bellic’s squad of village friends were ambushed by enemy armies and only Niko, Florian and Darko survived. But he later discovered that the ambush was setup and either Florian or Darko are prime suspects and bow to hunt them down. Even if it takes years. The journey of Nikos criminal career would began when the Yugoslav wars will wane soon.
Out of all the playable London characters, my favorite is definitely Rodney. I like how he looks, the classic black suit and tie. Plus, i think he's one of the only London protags to have a few voice lines. Plus, Rodney is the default. :)
They are soft reboots. Events happened but everything is reset.(James Bond movies did it until Daniel Craig. Then a full reboot was done .) Since not much happens in 2D games it feels like its completely disconnected from 3d but in HD there are some connections to 3D games. Soft reboots are done so creators don't have to redo the whole world and lore but past events don't really matter and have no connection to current events. Mission impossible did it 2 times too. First , second and third movies are all soft reboots. That is why Ethan and his team are still connected to each other in the third movie and further but the past events don't matter.
@@gandalainsley6467while it is a soft reboot rockstar has confirmed that they are different universe and some events from the 3d games might happen even maybe a full game but most events never happened
Unless you just decide in your head "yes they do." Theres no in game evidence one way or another. All rockstar has done separating their universes is siphon layers of depth off of both of them. So i can just say its all connected and the only thing you have against me is rockstar said no. But... i dont care lol they're connected if you want them to be 🫡@Karrimor18
Seeing Phil Collins is still alive and we are heading back to Vice City I hope that we get something like a radio advertisement or a talk show about his adventures in the 80's in Vice City and he could even bring up both Vance brothers and Tommy I kinda preferred the period piece GTA games like the 90's and 80's it can go full parody yet still be feeling like a plot line of a serious movie
they should release gta into all 1 big package all complete with its content that would be awesome cause its the best game series ever in existence but also do remakes of the orginals at the same time
GTA IV is a modern version of GTA III/Liberty City Stories (Liberty City) GTA V is a modern version of GTA San Andreas (Los Santos) GTA VI is a modern version of GTA Vice City/Vice City Stories (Vice City) When can we get a modern version of London 1961/69???
It was a real shame to see Jonny from the Lost MC to be brutally killed my Trev in what... the first 10 mins for GTA V... He was a well developed character and all throughout Lost and Damned.
I don’t know why but GTA 3 is still one of my favorites, something about the time I spent on it, the music, the atmosphere and of course how cool Claude Speed is.
Nico is a damn goat and since he didn't die, I need him to comeback in the next game or i just need to see his story to the very end. Same with Claude too, I'm glad he took out that bitch Catalina and is finally in peace. I hope I see CJ again, San Andreas will always be a personal favorite and I'm glad he and Smoke made it out the hood struggles. This video is the best timeline I've seen of the series, I got to see stories of people i never even knew who were in other games and it blew my mind. This better become viral and more appreciated coz this was well worth an hour. Good work dude 🙏🔥
as gta 6 is announced I don’t think Nico while have a comeback same with CJ, Claude , Catalina and pretty much all gta characters , Even the gta 5 characters
Seen a video saying the va to Niko was supposed to appear in 5 but while it was in the work he asked for more cash and rs said no they parted ways but who knows by 2025 it will be a new age
Just a reminder to everyone who has forgotten or doesn’t know the games are split into different universes 2D 61-2013(gta2) , 3D 1980’s-2001, HD 2004 (gta v prologue)-present day (gtao)
I saw a video that said 4 doesn't connect to any of the older GTAs and 5 doesn't connect to 4. Thanks for this, because I played most GTA and just now realizing it's more connections than cameos
I'm watching it now. Keep working your story telling and add more personality your channel can get grow a lot especially with 6 on the way soon. Also tie the characters together more some people come back and make the time-line more interesting.

In my mind all of these games are in the same universe Minor details may be different but all characters, groups, and main events exist in the same universe in some form imo Like, this video kinda proves it GTA 3 has references to the 2D universe (8ball existing and having burnt hands while being transported in a prison van among other details and characters) 3 through Vice City is obviously connected I haven’t played GTA 4 but I’m hoping this video will show there are references to other games besides just Niko wearing Claude’s outfit lol GTA 5 has references all over the place, Rosenberg shows up in GTAOnline I think too, other characters from the 3d universe are referenced or shown in the HD universe, and this video has shown me references I didn’t even understand from the 3d universe into the 2D universe Kinda wild! I really hope GTA 6 has a lot of references to Vice City events and characters especially Tommy Edit: also people say red dead is a different universe but I think it’s the same thing, versions of RD, Bully, LA Noire, etc, happened
There actually is a way for Niko to wear Claude’s outfit. Also, in GTA Online, your custom character can have Claude as their father. Proving that GTA V and GTA III are somewhat connected. And since GTA VI is set in Vice City, then that proves the 3D and HD universe are connected as well And if you watch the tv in GTA IV, specifically the show “I’m Rich” they show Bullworth Academy
@@HeathenStoryMode Yeah for sure I knew about the outfit thing in 4! It’s dope! And in GTA Online I totally forgot Claude is a parent option, could be brushed aside as an Easter egg, I wish he had shown up in the story as a bodyguard for someone who escapes on a plane and we don’t see him again And, well GTA 6 being in Leonida doesn’t necessarily prove GTA: Vice City’s story is canon to it does it? I hope it does! But previous games call Florida a state, now all of a sudden it’s Leonida, so it’s really up in the air right now, I’m really excited to see what storylines they bring over from Vice City, Rosenberg is in San Andreas right now I would be down for them to recast Tommy and make him a character in the story but at the very least there should be remnants of his team in the game following his death, dude was the King of “Miami”! I just really pray that Rockstar buries the hatchet with Niko and CJs voice actors and bring them back and pay them well! At least Niko’s! Michael, Franklin, and Trevor are all kinda like, alternate versions of the previous three protagonists, Tommy, CJ, and Claude Would be cool to see their inspirations make a comeback in the current canon Would also really like descendants of the Marston’s and Ricketts from RDR would show up in a GTA game
@@HeathenStoryMode story that get mentioned in online cuz there's one line from Lester in GTAO that hints that the subtle approach for the Jewelry Heist is canon since he mentioned the exterminator van
Since Gta III takes place after Gta san andreas, then how did Claude lose his voice? From what I remember (unless it's just a myth) Claude lost his voice in GTA III after Catalina shot him, and he was already speechless in Gta san andreas.
I think that was just a Rockstar Games flub. They probably didn’t think they would feature Claude in San Andreas. Also, when CJ visits the garage he won from Claude, he calls Claude a “mute a**hole”, proving that Claude didn’t have a voice to begin with, therefore Claude didn’t lose his voice by being shot by Catalina. To be fair, Rockstar didn’t plan for Claude to have a voice actor in the first place
@@HeathenStoryMode Yeah, what you write may be a lot right, in any case a great movie and in my spare time I will 100% watch it in its entirety! Best regards and I wish you continued success with your RUclips content creation!
That is a fan theory. Claude is just mute. Its one of those cases where explanation is its a game. People just tried to make sense of it from real life perspective. Game shenmue has a similar thing with people in Hong Kong all speaking Japanese/English. Explanation is its a game.
The whole "separate universes" thing is so fucking stupid! There's 1 universe! Rockstar just used stupid terminology to denote the 3 eras of the franchise!
Something more stupid than the separate universes thing are the fans, who blindly believe it, as if Rockstar can't change any statement they made, when they now act like as if it doesn't exist or they never made it, and higher grudges to the GTA Fandom Wiki and especially those dumb administrators, who aren't worthy of that rank, as they ignore valuable info that must be added to the articles, but show obsession with this thing more than Rockstar themselves.
"My brother Derrick, God rest his soul..." So does that mean in GTA IV, the choice to kill Derrick over Francis is the canon one? Or does Derrick die after the events of IV but before the events of V (likely from his addictions)?
@@HeathenStoryMode Either way, he dead, basically. Though yeah, it would kinda throw me if killing Derrick was canon, as it's always felt far truer to Niko's character to kill Francis instead.
The 2D, 3D and HD games are all in different "universes" and timelines - GTA and the London games are the "2D universe", GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA Advance, Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories are the 3D universe, and GTA4, GTAV and Chinatown Wars are the HD Universe. The later games might make nods to the older games, but they're not linked outside of the shared universes.
We know this. I explained this in other comments on here. I see many videos on RUclips that have separate videos for the separate universes. My goal was to make just one video of all the timelines
I know they are. The whole point of the video is to just tell events of each GTA game in chronological order. No matter if they a part of the 2D, 3D, or HD Universes.
Just sying GTA is split into 3 universes according to Rockstar, 2d (Gta 1,2, And London packs), 3d (GTAIII, VC, SA, VCS, Advance, And LCS), And The HD Universe (Chinatown Wars, GTAIV, LATD, BOGT, GTAV, GTAO, And GTAVI
And what if I told you, Rockstar games silently killed universes thing, it's an excuse. And based on their explanation, GTA Advance and CTW should be in 2D but somehow, that logic doesn't apply to these games.
GTA Online if you watch the Avon hurtz doomsday heist could be current day Red Dead Redemption taking place not too long before is nice for 1 and 2 I would love a 3
I'm very excited for GTA 6 on Xbox Series X Franklin is my favourite in GTA 5 on Xbox Series X & GTA 4 on Xbox was a Masterpiece But I love all the GTA game on Xbox
I didn’t add it yet cause when I was making the video, online wasn’t finished yet. Once there are no more updates I will include it when I remake the video
58:24 This moment always stuck with me in the game because they are making the poses of the three wise monkeys of chinese literaturethe one who sees no evil , the one who will speak no evil , and the one who will hear no evil. Dave has both of his hands over his crotch. Because he represents the fourth missing monkey the monkey that will do no evil. That is why he is the only one in the government who was actually working on the side of our 3 heroes. In. Gta five. He is the secret person who's helping them. Even though they don't know it at least until the very end. Now, throughout the game, I thought it was just a normal fund criminal game but as soon as I saw this moment my brain instantly went. They represent the concepts of how we live. The people who don't want to see evil even though they committed the people who don't want to speak of evil , even though they committed and the people who don't want to hear of evil even though they do it. If and then you have dave sitting with his hands over his Lap. Indicating he sees will speak and will hear of all the evils in the world. But he will Not commit an evil action. Which admittedly he has never done. Ever since North Yankton. He has Been loyal to michael. Even when Trevor got into the mix dave, didn't panic He just simply understood trevor was a possible random variable That with michael's influence could actually be a useful and successful part of the team. Dave essentially went out and figured out a way to use a formed retired criminal. A up incoming gang banger. And they insane sociopathic maniac. As his own personal attack squad to remove all the forms of corruption within the federal investigation bureau. In addition to ensuring his position within it is secure
Sad that Tommy Vercetti is canonically dead seeing as his gravestone can be found in SA. So if they are ever to bring all the OG goat characters back together in one huge story level heist Tommy would have to be un included
@@HeathenStoryMode I just back tracked on that old theory and looked for a video. Turns out it was a San Andreas mod where you find a dead Tommy V in a grave as CJ and there is no information to say he is confirmed dead so thank God because him and Claude are my favourite 2 GTA protagnists.
Wait gta san andreas had los Aztecas for only Trevor to kill the whole gang and gta4 had the lost and dammned for only Trevor to kill their main leader damn 😂

100th like
That what I saying

As someone who started playing GTA at GTA IV, this gives a great background to the series. Great video!
Thanks I appreciate it 🙌🏼
@@HeathenStoryMode of course!
It should’ve been one universe rather than three separate universes. That way it feels very tight and lore rich.
True, I was watching some GTA IV cutscenes earlier, and some of them mention the 3D universe, like Las Venturas
@@HeathenStoryModethat’s only because a separate version of Las Venturas exists in the HD universe. Like Los Santos being in San Andreas and gta 5

Robbing a north yankton bank duh with Brad 😂
I know they probably aren’t connected but it would be interesting to see old Jack Marston being aware of the GTA London Protagonist.
Ah yes, a cool little reference
he would probably be alive during of the events of gta san andreas too
GTA abandoning London in 3D & HD era is really sad honestly 😢
Let’s hope for a revisit some day 🤞🏼
Do it top down like ctw but mature things are being super realistic and less mature things being being more vibrant,anti depressed and cartoony

Real good video. I can,t wait for GTA 6
When Rockstar is done with GTA Online, you should do a video covering the whole story of that too
I was thinking the same thing, that’s why I didn’t cover it in this video
Also nice video dude this is the best timeline I’ve seen next you should add gta online
Thinking about it, I’m doing another franchise right now 👍🏼
Niko Bellic is the main protagonist who is not to be fucked with..
Rockstar Games should’ve known better 😂
It was a real shame to see Jonny from the Lost MC to be brutally killed my Trev in what... the first 10 mins for GTA V... He was a well developed character and all throughout Lost and Damned.
Agreed, should’ve went out a better way or shouldn’t have shown him spiraling
I kind of loved it. You don't even see protagonist in their sequels. So murdered or not, it was cool to see Johnny and get a haunting conclusion.
That’s how it goes in gta… vice city stories vic has a good story but he died in one of the earliest missions in vice city.
I don’t know why but GTA 3 is still one of my favorites, something about the time I spent on it, the music, the atmosphere and of course how cool Claude Speed is.

In my mind all of these games are in the same universe
Minor details may be different but all characters, groups, and main events exist in the same universe in some form imo
Like, this video kinda proves it
GTA 3 has references to the 2D universe (8ball existing and having burnt hands while being transported in a prison van among other details and characters)
3 through Vice City is obviously connected
I haven’t played GTA 4 but I’m hoping this video will show there are references to other games besides just Niko wearing Claude’s outfit lol
GTA 5 has references all over the place, Rosenberg shows up in GTAOnline I think too, other characters from the 3d universe are referenced or shown in the HD universe, and this video has shown me references I didn’t even understand from the 3d universe into the 2D universe
Kinda wild!
I really hope GTA 6 has a lot of references to Vice City events and characters especially Tommy
Edit: also people say red dead is a different universe but I think it’s the same thing, versions of RD, Bully, LA Noire, etc, happened
There actually is a way for Niko to wear Claude’s outfit. Also, in GTA Online, your custom character can have Claude as their father. Proving that GTA V and GTA III are somewhat connected. And since GTA VI is set in Vice City, then that proves the 3D and HD universe are connected as well
And if you watch the tv in GTA IV, specifically the show “I’m Rich” they show Bullworth Academy
@@HeathenStoryMode
Yeah for sure I knew about the outfit thing in 4! It’s dope!
And in GTA Online I totally forgot Claude is a parent option, could be brushed aside as an Easter egg, I wish he had shown up in the story as a bodyguard for someone who escapes on a plane and we don’t see him again
And, well GTA 6 being in Leonida doesn’t necessarily prove GTA: Vice City’s story is canon to it does it? I hope it does! But previous games call Florida a state, now all of a sudden it’s Leonida, so it’s really up in the air right now, I’m really excited to see what storylines they bring over from Vice City, Rosenberg is in San Andreas right now
I would be down for them to recast Tommy and make him a character in the story but at the very least there should be remnants of his team in the game following his death, dude was the King of “Miami”!
I just really pray that Rockstar buries the hatchet with Niko and CJs voice actors and bring them back and pay them well! At least Niko’s!
Michael, Franklin, and Trevor are all kinda like, alternate versions of the previous three protagonists, Tommy, CJ, and Claude
Would be cool to see their inspirations make a comeback in the current canon
Would also really like descendants of the Marston’s and Ricketts from RDR would show up in a GTA game
Hope I can get an insight on your thoughts on canon choices for heists
Heists for the story or online?
@@HeathenStoryMode story that get mentioned in online cuz there's one line from Lester in GTAO that hints that the subtle approach for the Jewelry Heist is canon since he mentioned the exterminator van
Ohh I haven’t counted the online yet since it’s not finished yet. Once Rockstar stops the updates then I’ll cover it
Since Gta III takes place after Gta san andreas, then how did Claude lose his voice? From what I remember (unless it's just a myth) Claude lost his voice in GTA III after Catalina shot him, and he was already speechless in Gta san andreas.
I think that was just a Rockstar Games flub. They probably didn’t think they would feature Claude in San Andreas. Also, when CJ visits the garage he won from Claude, he calls Claude a “mute a**hole”, proving that Claude didn’t have a voice to begin with, therefore Claude didn’t lose his voice by being shot by Catalina. To be fair, Rockstar didn’t plan for Claude to have a voice actor in the first place
@@HeathenStoryMode Yeah, what you write may be a lot right, in any case a great movie and in my spare time I will 100% watch it in its entirety! Best regards and I wish you continued success with your RUclips content creation!
Thank you I really appreciate that 👍🏼
That is a fan theory. Claude is just mute. Its one of those cases where explanation is its a game. People just tried to make sense of it from real life perspective. Game shenmue has a similar thing with people in Hong Kong all speaking Japanese/English. Explanation is its a game.
I think Claude's silence in GTA San Andreas was a way to intimidate CJ than muteness.
The whole "separate universes" thing is so fucking stupid! There's 1 universe! Rockstar just used stupid terminology to denote the 3 eras of the franchise!
Something more stupid than the separate universes thing are the fans, who blindly believe it, as if Rockstar can't change any statement they made, when they now act like as if it doesn't exist or they never made it, and higher grudges to the GTA Fandom Wiki and especially those dumb administrators, who aren't worthy of that rank, as they ignore valuable info that must be added to the articles, but show obsession with this thing more than Rockstar themselves.
Not all the fans though.
The end of gta 3 tho 😂
1997-2001 was crazy
Nice video bruv keep up the great work
Thank you I appreciate it 👍🏼
GTA IV forever 🌟⛈️🌩️
They need to remaster it for the new gen consoles already
@@HeathenStoryMode True man !
I watched this whole video in one sitting. Just realized Tommy vercetti is a mobster
Mobster turned into King Pin. Just like Tony Montana 😂
Vice City stories needs a remaster so bad.
Yes, not a DEFINITIVE, but a remaster
best gta in years
At least Vance and his brother got his other brother his meds.
"My brother Derrick, God rest his soul..."
So does that mean in GTA IV, the choice to kill Derrick over Francis is the canon one? Or does Derrick die after the events of IV but before the events of V (likely from his addictions)?
I’m not sure, I think we can speculate that it could’ve been either one
@@HeathenStoryMode Either way, he dead, basically.
Though yeah, it would kinda throw me if killing Derrick was canon, as it's always felt far truer to Niko's character to kill Francis instead.
Exactly, I feel better thinking that Derrick died from his own vices
this is what I calla timeline❤ fuck yeah brother
Thank you so much 🙌🏼
The 2D, 3D and HD games are all in different "universes" and timelines - GTA and the London games are the "2D universe", GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA Advance, Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories are the 3D universe, and GTA4, GTAV and Chinatown Wars are the HD Universe.
The later games might make nods to the older games, but they're not linked outside of the shared universes.
We know this. I explained this in other comments on here. I see many videos on RUclips that have separate videos for the separate universes. My goal was to make just one video of all the timelines
The whole different universe thing is an excuse by Rockstar for the voice actor conflict and not wanting to bring back old characters.
There you go.
How have you missed the fact that GTA 4 and GTA 5 are set in seperate universes to the other games?
I know they are. The whole point of the video is to just tell events of each GTA game in chronological order. No matter if they a part of the 2D, 3D, or HD Universes.
Are the events of gta online not canon? Great video
They are, I just didn’t cover it because GTA Online isn’t finished yet
@StoryModeYT thanks man! I appreciate your hard work going into this and other videos 👍
Thank you I appreciate it 🙌🏼
Can we do one of these for the gta online story
I was going to add it in but wanted to wait until it was official finished
@@HeathenStoryMode I feel it… a timeline so far tho would be cool
Just sying GTA is split into 3 universes according to Rockstar, 2d (Gta 1,2, And London packs), 3d (GTAIII, VC, SA, VCS, Advance, And LCS), And The HD Universe (Chinatown Wars, GTAIV, LATD, BOGT, GTAV, GTAO, And GTAVI
Yeah I know, I just wanted to put them all into one complete chronological timeline
@@HeathenStoryMode and that’s fine
And what if I told you, Rockstar games silently killed universes thing, it's an excuse. And based on their explanation, GTA Advance and CTW should be in 2D but somehow, that logic doesn't apply to these games.
GTA Online if you watch the Avon hurtz doomsday heist could be current day
Red Dead Redemption taking place not too long before is nice for 1 and 2 I would love a 3
Always wondered how 8 ball got his hands burnedl
Who else watching this to recap after gta vi trailer dropped?
I'm very excited for GTA 6 on Xbox Series X
Franklin is my favourite in GTA 5 on Xbox Series X

GTA 4 on Xbox was a Masterpiece
But I love all the GTA game on Xbox
My fav has got to be GTA Vice City, I’ve always the 80s era and that game has everything to know and love about the 80s
@@HeathenStoryMode that's awesome bro
Mine is 4
Because 2008 was a Masterpiece year
You forgot online its canon to the story mode lore lester even brings up the online character in 5
I didn’t add it yet cause when I was making the video, online wasn’t finished yet. Once there are no more updates I will include it when I remake the video
58:24 This moment always stuck with me in the game because they are making the poses of the three wise monkeys of chinese literaturethe one who sees no evil , the one who will speak no evil , and the one who will hear no evil. Dave has both of his hands over his crotch. Because he represents the fourth missing monkey the monkey that will do no evil. That is why he is the only one in the government who was actually working on the side of our 3 heroes. In. Gta five. He is the secret person who's helping them. Even though they don't know it at least until the very end. Now, throughout the game, I thought it was just a normal fund criminal game but as soon as I saw this moment my brain instantly went. They represent the concepts of how we live. The people who don't want to see evil even though they committed the people who don't want to speak of evil , even though they committed and the people who don't want to hear of evil even though they do it. If and then you have dave sitting with his hands over his Lap. Indicating he sees will speak and will hear of all the evils in the world. But he will Not commit an evil action. Which admittedly he has never done. Ever since North Yankton. He has Been loyal to michael. Even when Trevor got into the mix dave, didn't panic He just simply understood trevor was a possible random variable That with michael's influence could actually be a useful and successful part of the team. Dave essentially went out and figured out a way to use a formed retired criminal. A up incoming gang banger. And they insane sociopathic maniac. As his own personal attack squad to remove all the forms of corruption within the federal investigation bureau. In addition to ensuring his position within it is secure
Red dead is rumored to be connected
Sad that Tommy Vercetti is canonically dead seeing as his gravestone can be found in SA. So if they are ever to bring all the OG goat characters back together in one huge story level heist Tommy would have to be un included
Where is his gravestone? I never knew that.
@@HeathenStoryMode I just back tracked on that old theory and looked for a video. Turns out it was a San Andreas mod where you find a dead Tommy V in a grave as CJ and there is no information to say he is confirmed dead so thank God because him and Claude are my favourite 2 GTA protagnists.
He couldn't come back anyway, GTA Vice City doesn't take place in the same universe as the modern GTA games.
@@ayyLumao ah yeah sometimes I do forget about that the original trilogy and the lV/V era are kind of multiverse’d
Bro I want a gta English so bad.
You do realize all these GTA games are in separate universes right?
Yes. But I made the video to express the entire timeline, not just the 2D, 3D, and HD timelines separately
@@HeathenStoryMode Oh
GTA 6 will need to be added in two years
Planning it already 👍🏼
I don't understand why you skip liberty city story gta3
I didn’t skip them. LCS is at 24:04 and GTA3 is at 32:34
So every next gta the former protags of the previous gta will shortly die.
Supposedly yes, but it’s not confirmed about some characters. Like Tommy Vercetti and CJ
claude came in 3 gtas? gta 3 gta 2 gta san andreas
Technically the Claude in GTA 2 isn’t the same Claude, since the GTA 2 Claude has a last name “Speed”
Wait gta san andreas had los Aztecas for only Trevor to kill the whole gang and gta4 had the lost and dammned for only Trevor to kill their main leader damn 😂
Wait what about GTA online?
I didn’t include it because it wasn’t finished yet when I made the video
I thought there were three universes in GTA
There is. The 2D, 3D, and HD
By the way gta 2 is based on 2013
but it was made in 1999
It based in 1999 only the ending based on 2013
