Dmac Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) We already know what our main character looks like and by his accent, he sounds Russian or similar. He also looks a bit like Jerkov from GTA2. Jerkov comes from Siberia and is the leader of the Russian Mafia. GTA IV Character: Jerkov from GTA2: For information on Jerkov Click Here. What do you think? Edited March 31, 2007 by Dmac_91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I doubt it, on the link it says he had multiple scars which the main charachter of GTAIV doesn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud' Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) It also says that hes been in the USA and has done crimes there. But on the trailer he talks as though hes never been there. Edited March 31, 2007 by Cloud' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 It also says that hes been in the USA and has done crimes there. But on the trailer he talks as though hes never been there. That could mean he is related to the main charachter but I doubt all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 You could've mentioned this is my topic but whatever. I read all the info and yeah it seemed at bit possible at first but then ps3 player's and Cloud's comments changed my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look awfully similar so Im not ruling out that they are relatives in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yes it would be really cool if they made a connection with the new main character to some characters from past GTA games. So Jerkov could possibly be a relative and maybe would help this new protagonist start out his new life in Liberty and turning it into a bad one. Leading him back into the crime business again.

Yeah that would be cool. I can picture jerkov having a small Russian Cafe and the the protgonis lives in the basement of the cafe for a while before he clims his way up the crime ladder.

Rashon. Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think it's possible that Russian character is Jerkov from GTA2 but it'd be weird playing with a protagonist named Jerkov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) Then, after they have been partners in crime for a while I would see a backstab coming from either of them. Even though it's getting a bit old. Or maybe they would stay close and run the city together I don't know. Edit: Haha, I totally agree with you Rashon. Especially in the most serious situations like if one of his friends would be dying and he would call out: JERKOFF!!! Lmao.

Red_91 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well the charachters new name could be somethign like Christophsy - aka Chris Andre Maxim - aka Max I can't think of Russian names atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artur Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) Hah my name is up there as well! I speak Russian and I mentioned some possibly names for him but right now I'm leaning towards these 4: Aleksandr= Alex Andrei Dimitri Vladmir The last 3 the most probably. And yeah ps3 player I am Russian. Edited March 31, 2007 by Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashon. Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think Sergei or Nikolai are good names. Whenever I think of those names, it reminds me of hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I don't think that Jerkoff and the Russian Guy are the same people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmac Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) He says in the trailer he has ''killed people, smuggled people and sold people'' and the russian mafia are known for smuggling and slavery etc. I just thought it was interesting how they are both Russian and both where in previous GTA's and maybe there could be a connection. And about the scars, In GTA2 it was 2013 and he was 41. By the looks of things GTAIV does not look like its in 2013 and he does not look 41. Those scars could of happened after GTA IV.

Artur Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Oh yeah, I totally forgot that GTA2 was in 2013. So yeah that doesn't rule out them being the same person but I doubt it. They might some how be connected but the new protagonist will just be someone brand new. Like all the other previous protagonists (with the exception of Vic and Toni but those were "Stories" games and with all other ones it has been a new character unless you count Claude Speed and Claude from GTA2 and 3).

surrealistic ArtSweet Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 i doubt it very much man, i mean take two(well, maybe take one back in those days)and rockstar uses funny and offensive names back then, like the looney's, it couldn't even be a mafia name the script and the names(except commercials and easter eggs) getting a bit serious right now besides, who the hell wants our playable character to be named jerkoff?? so don't blame me, but i don't think it is jerkov on that trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmac Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 The name Jerkov wouldn't be the best name for the main character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
