GTA 6: Could Carl Johnson (aka CJ) From GTA San Andreas Make a Return?

Credit: Rockstar Games

Carl Johnson (aka CJ) is easily one of the most beloved characters in the Grand Theft Auto universe and for good reasons. He went a long road from being a simple ghetto boy to a millionaire. He is full of hatred and willing to do anything he can, even if it’s unorthodox, in order to achieve his ambitious goals.

While we know for sure that the long-awaited game GTA 6 is coming next year to consoles, we already have a decent amount of information about what to expect. We can expect a more diversified and huge open world than ever, a lot of social activities, a female protagonist (Lucia), and more. But if we take a look back at GTA history and at a few facts, we can rapidly realize that there’s a good chance for GTA 6 to include Carl Johnson (CJ) as well. Perhaps he won’t appear as one of the protagonist characters, but even so, the fans would appreciate his return. Let’s see why we believe that CJ would make a return in GTA 6!

GTA 5’s Franklin Clinton confirms that Rockstar remembers CJ

Franklin Clinton is one of the three protagonist characters that appear in GTA 5, the latest game of the Grand Theft Auto series. He shares a lot with the legendary Carl Johnson: both of them are black and have the ghetto lifestyle, both have pretty much the same accent and attitude, and the examples could continue. It’s obvious that by introducing Franklin Clinton to the GTA universe, Rockstar confirms that it hasn’t forgotten about CJ. Perhaps it was also a hint that the GTA San Andreas protagonist would make a return in the future of the series, and now you understand why it isn’t farfetched to believe that GTA 6 would include CJ somehow. Let’s just hope that if it is true, CJ will play a major role in the upcoming game, even though he most likely won’t be one of the protagonists!

 Grand Theft Auto’s history gives us hope

If you know anything at all about the history of GTA games, you know very well that the guys from Rockstar have a passion for bringing back old characters in one form or another. For instance, Rockstar has included Niko Bellic as a template in GTA Online, the online mode for GTA 5, in order to let players create their own characters. Niko Bellic is a Yugoslavian war veteran who appeared as the protagonist character for GTA 4, another one of Rockstar’s enormous successes.

Also, let’s not forget that Claude, the deadly silent protagonist character from GTA 3, has been added in GTA San Andreas as a side character. Claude appeared in GTA SA as the new boyfriend of Catalina, the hysterical woman who fell in love with CJ but became frustrated and tried to get revenge on him.

Therefore, given the history of the GTA series that shows how Rockstar likes to bring back old characters in one way or another, we can realistically hope that CJ will indeed be included in the highly-anticipated game GTA 6, at least as a side character.

What’s your take on the subject? Do you believe that Carl Johnson (aka CJ) will indeed be included in GTA 6 or not? Feel free to tell us in the comment section and bring your own arguments to support the claim!

GTA VI: Top Things We Need to See in the Highly-Anticipated Game

Credit: Rockstar Games

Last year in December, the world finally got the chance to see the first official trailer of the long-awaited game GTA 6, and the internet went wild with reactions. People have been piling up on forums, social platforms, and YouTube to share their opinions about what we know so far about the game from its trailer, although a lot more information will be revealed soon enough.

Apart from GTA 6 having the first female protagonist in the series, a girl named Lucia, and the open-world environment looks incredibly diverse, there’s still a lot more to uncover. While we will all get to find out a lot more information about the highly-anticipated game soon enough, it’s time to speak about what we actually need to see in it as fans of the iconic Grand Theft Auto franchise.

More interiors for the buildings

GTA 5, the latest game of the Grand Theft Auto series, was an incredibly fun game to play, but still, it had its shortcomings. One of them is that it had quite a few interiors to explore. This came in contrast with a much older title in the series, GTA San Andreas, which had a lot more enterable buildings.

We surely hope for GTA VI to bring a lot more enterable buildings than its predecessor, and that is surely feasible considering that the map will be huge. We can expect an even larger map than GTA 5, and perhaps the game will demand more storage space than any other game. Either way, for GTA 6, we surely need to see an enterable airport and enterable hospitals where you get to shoot the doctors and patients (such as in GTA IV), the possibility to buy houses and mansions, and more.

More customization options

Let’s face it: although all three protagonist characters in GTA 5, Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, had their charm, we couldn’t really customize them as much as we would have liked to. More ways to dress them up or even add personality traits would have represented some good ideas. How about some sort of mode in which Trevor acts in accordance with a recent experience that he had? That would be fun to see in a future GTA game!

How about more ways of tuning up your cars than we had in GTA 5? That would certainly be nice indeed!

A more diversified map

The map in GTA 5 was huge and pretty diverse, as we could see countryside, mountains, lakes, islands, and more. But still, it was behind what GTA San Andreas, a game that came out almost a decade earlier, had to offer. GTA SA had three major cities, countryside, airports, military bases, and a lot more. We would definitely like to see the same level of diversity in the upcoming GTA 6 as well.

Improved gameplay

There’s no limit to what AI can do these days, so why not hope for even better gameplay than what previous GTA games had to offer? It would be nice to see even more intelligent AI patterns in GTA 6, more creative ways of taking down opponents, and more.

GTA VI will have two protagonist characters, Lucia and her boyfriend, whose name we don’t know yet. However, the rumors indicated the presence of three protagonist characters, but we will have only two.

GTA 6 is Coming, But Which is the Best Game in the Series So Far?

After a long wait, we finally know for sure what GTA 6 looks like, as well as when it will launch, due to a recent official trailer from Rockstar Games itself. There’s a lot more information to find out, that’s true, but it’s still joyful that we finally have some official info about the highly-anticipated title. The trailer has been viewed a record number of times in just a few days after its launch.

The sad aspect is that GTA 6 will be a console-exclusive game, at least for its first months. Later on, we can expect that the game will be adapted for PC as well, in a similar way as it happened with GTA 5, the previous game of the legendary series.

It’s time to try to find out which is the best GTA game so far. Although we can realistically expect that GTA 6 will be the best, it’s time to consider only the titles that have already been released:

GTA 5

GTA 5, the game that came out in 2013, is easily one of the best games of the Grand Theft Auto series, if not the best of all time. This game has pretty much everything you need if you’re a fan of open-world and RPG games. You can take on a lot of dangerous missions, use your weapons to give everyone a hard time, steal cars, and a lot more. The possibilities are just endless in this game.

GTA 5 is also known for its online multiplayer mode, which is commonly known as GTA Online. Despite being over a decade old, GTA 5 has aged like good wine, as it’s being played even today by numerous gamers.

GTA San Andreas

GTA San Andreas has its 20th anniversary this year, and it’s one of the best games of all time if we just consider the gameplay itself. This game is highly-immersive even today if you are not bothered by the obsolete graphics, as you can get CJ (aka Carl Johnson, the protagonist) in pretty much any role you want: doctor, taxi driver, cop, burglar, pimp, and so on.

There’s no wonder why many folks consider GTA San Andreas the best game of the Grand Theft Auto series. This game has everything, and as a player, you get to do a lot of fun stuff even after you finish the story mode, as you can be regularly involved in gang wars to defend your territories,  get your hands on numerous collectibles, and so on.

GTA Vice City

GTA 3 was a legend, as it was the first game of the Grand Theft Auto series that made the shift to a 3D environment. But it was GTA Vice City, a game that came out in 2002, that brought the whole thing to a different level. Vice City has some impressive graphics for its time, and it was set in Miami, the same location that the upcoming GTA 6 will embrace. GTA Vice City also impressed due to its gameplay and entertaining missions, as the game rapidly became one of the most influential ones in the history of gaming.

Let’s face it: no gamer in his 30s hasn’t been using cheat codes in GTA Vice City at least once in order to wreak havoc on the streets of fictional Miami.

GTA IV

GTA 4 was a revolutionary game for its time. This game, which came out in 2008, brought the graphics to an unprecedented level for the Grand Theft Auto series. Niko Bellic, the protagonist, is a veteran of the Yugoslavian War who came to the US to have a better life. However, he rapidly became entangled in a dangerous game from which he needed to be slick and deadly enough to escape. The gameplay of GTA 4 was also at a whole new level, as it introduced new realistic mechanics.

It’s pretty much impossible to say which one of these games is the best GTA title, but probably GTA 5 fits in that role the best.

GTA 6: What We Know About Lucia, the First Female Protagonist in Grand Theft Auto History

Credit: Rockstar Games

After an endless amount of speculation and rumors, we now know for sure that GTA 6 is coming out in 2025 due to the first official trailer of the highly anticipated game. In just a few short days, the GTA 6 trailer has been watched by netizens from across the world more times than the first trailer for the previous game, GTA 5, in all its existence of 12 years. In other words, there’s absolutely no exaggeration to say that GTA 6 is indeed the most anticipated game in history.

One of the reasons why Grand Theft Auto fans wait for the launch of GTA 6 is that the upcoming game will be the first in the beloved series to have a woman as a protagonist. Until now, we had only guys as GTA protagonists, and GTA 5 was the first and only game of the series so far that introduced more than one protagonist. We had Trevor, Michael, and Franklin as the protagonists of the latest GTA game.

As for GTA 6, Lucia and her boyfriend are the game’s protagonists. We don’t know the guy’s name so far, but we can still speculate a lot about Lucia, who seems to be a Latin-American badass girl who’s always ready to settle the score the hard way.

Who is Lucia in GTA 6?

We can see Lucia in the GTA 6 trailer appearing as she meets with a parole officer. When she is asked why she thinks she’s there, the girl gives a very badass statement: “Bad luck, I guess.”

Lucia and her boyfriend often like to get into trouble, and they seem very devoted to one another. It’s clear that their relationship is also romantic, while their main hobby is running away from the police after they do some very bad deeds.

Lucia is clearly the first female protagonist in GTA history, and that can’t possibly upset anyone. She seems to have the right badass attitude to go for heavy crimes across the streets of Vice City (fictional Miami).

There’s no more to learn at this point about Lucia and the other protagonist of the long-awaited game. However, we can expect both of them to be Mexicans, judging by their skin tone.

GTA 6: a console-exclusive game?

At this point, we know that GTA 6 won’t be available for the PC at launch, but that could change in the future. The game will most probably work only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, but it could follow suit in the case of GTA 5, the previous game, which was adapted for PC two years after its initial release for consoles.

The appearance of a female protagonist in GTA 6 has been heavily rumored and speculated until the official trailer of the game confirmed the hunch. It was nice to see that it’s indeed true, and a badass woman will be in the future game. Also, we’re happy to see that the rumors about a return to Vice City (fictional Miami) were also true, as GTA 6 will recreate the map of one of the most iconic video games ever made: GTA Vice City, which came out in 2002. Of course, the improved map will be much more diversified this time and adapted to the current gaming standards.

All we can do at this point is wait for Rockstar to tell us more about the identity of the GTA 6 protagonists, as there’s a lot more to learn.

The GTA 6 trailer was released sooner than expected because official footage leaks have already been published online. This led Rockstar to decide to show the trailer to the world, and so far, it has gathered an astronomical amount of more than 143 million views in just one week after its release.

GTA 6’s Official Trailer Gets More Views in a Few Days Than the GTA 5 Trailer Did in 12 Years

Credit: Rockstar Games

GTA 6 is coming out in 2025, and we finally know that for sure, thanks to the first official trailer of the highly-anticipated game that was launched a few days ago. We have a lot of information about GTA 6 already without having to dive into speculations, rumors, and farfetched possibilities.

We’re less than a week away since Rockstar Games finally published the official trailer for GTA 6, and the video has already been viewed more than one of the trailers for GTA 5 in 12 years. That’s right, dear ladies and gents, you’ve read that correctly! That’s probably the best confirmation we can possibly get that GTA 6 is indeed the most anticipated game in history.

GTA 6’s trailer gathers over 140M views in less than a week

The official GTA 6 trailer has already gathered an insane number of views in only less than a week after its release: 140 million. This is especially amazing considering that one of the first trailers for GTA 5, the predecessor of GTA 6, has been viewed more than 104 million times. But don’t forget the fact that the GTA 5 trailer is 12 years old! Isn’t that mind-boggling?

Behold the absolute proof:

The details in GTA 6 look as if they’re from another world, indicating that the game will raise the stakes a lot more compared to its predecessor, GTA 5. Lucia and her boyfriend, the protagonists of the highly-anticipated game, will have a lot of work to do.

A return to Vice City

GTA 6 marks a return to Vice City (fictional Miami), and it’s nice to see that the rumors were true after all. The future game will have the task of showcasing a more actual version of Vice City, where the world is teeming with social media, celebrities aiming to get more fans, crazy stunts, and more. The iconic GTA Vice City game, which came out more than two decades ago, proposes a world from the ’80s, and that title still got a lot of attention and love from the fans. It’s pretty much impossible to find a gamer who has never played GTA Vice City.

Rockstar is known for recreating maps in its Grand Theft Auto games, which means that the return to Vice City shouldn’t surprise any of us. They’ve done it with GTA 5 when they’ve recreated the map of Los Santos from GTA San Andreas. Nobody has complained about that, as Rockstar did a fantastic job, considering that GTA 5 remains in the top 3 best-selling games in history.

Let’s also not forget that GTA 4, which came out in 2008, has proposed a journey throughout Liberty City (fictional New York) for the players. That’s the same map that was present in the previous game, GTA 3, which came out in 2001. However, the map was drastically improved in GTA 4, not to mention that the graphics were light-years better. Did anybody complain about Liberty City existing in both GTA 4 and GTA 3? No! In fact, GTA 4 remains one of Rockstar’s most popular games of all time, and a significant amount of Grand Theft Auto fans even consider it better than its successor, GTA 5. GTA 4 has plenty of unique gameplay elements that we cannot see in GTA 5 or in any other game of the Grand Theft Auto series.

GTA 6 will be available for consoles at first, while a PC release might come later. If we look at the history of the series, we can see that GTA 5, the previous game, was adapted for the PC two years after its initial release for consoles. Therefore, we can expect something similar to happen with GTA 6 as well, but only time will tell for sure.
