GTA V's Alternate Endings: Gruesome!
One of the most memorable characters in the “Grand Theft Auto” series, Trevor Philips, was intended to have a far brutal ending in GTA V, as per a leaked source code. Trevor, infamous for his unstable demeanor, was originally designed to go through a terrifying ending frozen in liquid nitrogen and then shattered to fragments by fellow character Michael De Santa. This original design was evidently sparked by an inner Mortal Kombat fandom in the game developers.
The creative minds behind the game ultimately decided against such extreme violence, opting instead for a less explicit, climax. Rather than the shocking liquid nitrogen plan, Trevor is doused with gasoline and ignited in the actual game's conclusion. While the final outcome was dramatic, the initial ending would certainly have stirred controversy among fans who simultaneously love and hate Trevor's character.
Michael De Santa's Fate & Other Cancelled Endings
Interestingly, Trevor's chilling ending wasn't the only grim plan Rockstar Games originally had in store for its characters. The leaked source data also unravelled Michael De Santa's previously intended ending. Franklin, another protagonist, was planned to launch Michael from a skyscraper into the rotating blades of a police helicopter.
Rockstar Games had initially intended for Lamar to replace Franklin as a playable character in the “Deathwish” climax, implying this option was envisioned as a suicide mission. These earlier endings were eventually modified, perhaps to avoid inciting controversy and find a balance between shock value and engaging storytelling.
GTA 6: High Expectations for a Fresh Take
While we recollect on GTA V's gruesome, discarded endings, it's impossible not to get thrilled about the forthcoming GTA 6. The revelations from the leaked source code have inevitably created lofty anticipations for the next installment of this popular gaming series.
Rockstar has revealed that GTA 6 will make a triumphant return to Vice City, introducing a pair of protagonists for the first time. The game is set to feature its first leading female character, Lucia, and her partner-in-crime, Jason, in a ‘Bonnie and Clyde' inspired criminal duo.
The release of GTA 6's trailer, which exhibits the vivid and perilous world of Vice City, has already spurred immense excitement among the gaming community. Players are eagerly awaiting to see how the new game will measure up to past releases and how Rockstar will develop the new characters.
Promising a fresh outlook on the crime-infused universe that ROCKSTAR is renowned for, players' eagerness for GTA 6 continues to soar. The intense and alternate endings hinted at in the leaked GTA V source code only fuel expectations for upcoming plot twists in the new release.
