Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (2009)

FAQ

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony



    Given GTA VI will take place in Vice City, which will have a fair share of night clubs, it's entirely plausible that Luis and/or Tony will appear. But This Has not been confirmed.



    Luis likely feels indifferent to Niko. They are simply on opposing sides of the diamond exchange and subsequent kidnapping of Gracie.



    Tony is likely not too fond of Niko, given that Niko kidnapped his friend in exchange for the diamonds he had.



    There's a picture in Luis' safehouse of someone who looks like Luis wearing a uniform. But that's his father, not Luis himself.



    Like all GTA protagonists, Luis is an anti-hero. Luis is level-headed and loyal to his friends, family and business partner, Gay Tony. However, Luis is also a thief, killer and drug pusher.



    Yes, we first meet him when Niko and the McReary brothers rob the bank. He is one of the bystanders who tries to talk the gun club member out of doing something stupid. Later on he helps ambush the diamond sale that Niko and Johnny were in on. He is also there when Niko and Packie hand over Gracie Ancelloti.



    No, he has female love interests throughout the game. He is simply a platonic friend and business partner of Gay Tony.



    No, he will get drunk when going to the bar however.

    ...though "technically" the GTA games are split into separate "series" or maps. With each series being a new start and separate from the previous one.

    Each series chronology works thus...

    1969 - GTA: London, 1969

    1997 - Grand Theft Auto [ft. the original Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas]

    The second:

    2013 - Grand Theft Auto 2 [ft. the one and only Anywhere City]

    The third:

    1984 - GTA: Vice City Stories [ft. Vice City redux I]

    1986 - GTA: Vice City [ft. Vice City redux I]

    1992 - GTA: San Andreas [ft. San Andreas redux I, incl. the original Los Santos]

    1998 - GTA: Liberty City Stories [ft. Liberty City redux I]

    2000 - GTA Advance [ft. Liberty City redux I 2D]

    2001 - Grand Theft Auto III [ft. Liberty City redux I]

    The fourth:

    2008 - Grand Theft Auto IV (with The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony) [ft. Liberty City redux II and the original Alderney]

    2009 - GTA: Chinatown Wars [ft. Liberty City redux II 2D]

    2013 - Grand Theft Auto V [ft. Los Santos redux I and the original Blaine County]



    From IV or The Lost and Damned:

    General:

    • Most Wanted, Vigilante or selling vehicles. Instead there is money to be gained and firefights to be experienced from Drug Wars events which can be replayed.


    Services:

    • Loyal taxi (like Roman Bellic's). The regular taxi is still available.


    • Car bomb (like Packie McReary's friendship benefit).


    • Helicopter transport (like Brucie Kibbutz's friendship benefit).


    • Health boost (like Carmen Ortiz's friendship benefit). Instead there are "booty call" acquaintances who actually have to be visited and can only be visited while the protagonist is not on a mission.


    • Wanted level removal (like Kiki Jenkins' or Francis McReary's). Interestingly wanted levels never rise above two stars during Drug Wars missions.


    • Job request. Instead all jobs are started by the protagonist visiting specific locations at certain time frames or by being called by a non-player character.


    • Race request. Instead a different portion at a time of replayable triathlons can be started at will by the protagonist visiting sites that are indexed with icons on the map when not on a mission.


    Activities:

    • Hi-Lo or Arm Wrestling. Instead there are Dancing, Cage Fight, Golf, Triathlon and Base Jumping but not only those as bowling, darts and 8-ball return from IV while air hockey returns from The Lost. (However, the icon for bowling does not appear on the map, and the protagonist cannot play it with his friends.)


    • Stand-up comedy or Cabaret acts.
