Topic	Do Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto take place in the same world?
ParanoidObsessive 10/27/20 3:16:44 AM #14:	JigsawTDC posted... I don't like this answer, so I'm going to accept PO's response and my head canon is now RDR, GTA, Manhunt, and Bully all taking place in the same reality. He's not technically right anyway, because the existence of real cities doesn't automatically prevent the existence of fake ones. In DC comics, they have cities like Gotham (which is basically just a corrupt NYC - it's literally named after one of NYC's nicknames) and Metropolis (which started out as a sort of fusion of Cleveland and Toronto, but which then kind of evolved into Chicago before kind of turning into NYC as well - which is why you get the famous quote from Denny O'Neil that Metropolis is NYC on the sunniest day in the middle of July, Gotham is NYC in the middle of a miserable November night). You'd assume that in a United States where heroes are adventuring in Metropolis and Gotham and Central City (somewhere in the Midwest) and Star City (sort of a Chicago analogue) and Coast City (basically LA/SF) and a dozen other cities wouldn't HAVE any real cities, because there'd be no room for them. But NYC and Chicago other real cities still exist in the DC universe as well. The DC Earth is canonically larger than the real world, which is how they can squeeze in extra cities and countries that don't exist in our world. So there's no reason why both Liberty City AND NYC can't both exist in the same world. Even if it seems kind of stupid. But like I said, Rockstar has never explicitly said that any of the games take place in the same universe (or that they don't), so if you want to assume they do, then you can assume they do. Or if you don't like the idea, then they don't and the things they have in common are just easter eggs. But also like I said, they HAVE said that the "3D" universe (the GTAIII games) and the "HD" universe (GTAIV, V, Online) ARE two different universes. So it's possible that RDR could exist in the GTA V universe but not the GTA III one, or Manhunt and/or Bully could be related to one or the other but not both, or some other combination. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:946354191] in Do Red Dea...
