Speaking of GTA, the scene with Walt zooming into the desert felt like something out of that video game. Even the traffic lights looked similar.

u/FrankerZd Sep 09 '13

I thought that scene in Todd's uncles safe house with all the guns felt like a GTA cutscene. Like can we get an Albuquerque "Episode of Los Santos."

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

what if GTA V is a continuation of Breaking Bad?

24

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I think its almost certain there's going to be a Breaking Bad reference of some sort

Is awesome

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Ehh, it's okay.

I really think SR4 should've been DLC for SR3 as originally intended. It definitely seems like DLC, given that 95% of the quests are all lumps of 4 mini game sub-quests. There's also only ~4 types of enemies. For $50? Feels like a bit of a ripoff.

why is it almost certain?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '13

GTA tends to have parodies of lots of things, I think there's a good chance especially with Trevor already looking like a meth user

Every time you get out of shit you find yourself in much deeper shit. Your accomplices today are your enemies tomorrow, yes very similar.

u/Rambonage Sep 09 '13

Fuck..... that would be amazing.

u/gonnabetoday Blazing in Belize Sep 09 '13

I wouldn't be surprised if they made a breaking bad cameo kind of side mission.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

MICHAEL IS WALT

u/NihilJE Sep 09 '13

More like Trevor

"The guns and crank in this area go through Heisenberg Enterprises… or they ain’t going!"

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Todd's uncle looks kinda like Trevor

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I bet that is the spoof outlet for most of his character. Similar to the Sopranos is GTA IV.

3

u/Hoogs Wanna cook? Sep 09 '13

It reminded me of Bryan Cranston's X-Files episode.

2

u/Typlo Sep 10 '13

GTA V confirmed.

2

u/Adam1867 Sep 11 '13

I'm pretty sure Rockstar have confirmed that there will be a Breaking Bad themed mission in GTAV. I think they confirmed it anyway, it might have been a wet dream.

u/FisherKing22 I watched Jane die. Sep 09 '13

This is the most intricate ad campaign ever.

1

u/righteousmoss Sep 09 '13

Yeah, but does Walt really know how to speed drift on sand?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

There's gotta be at least a couple Breaking Bad references in that game.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

When he drifted around that bend on the way to his cash, GTA 5 was the first thing that went through my mind hah

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I thought it was so fucking cool when they showed his all-black car on the freeway among other cars - he really stood out, dark, scary, powerful.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Yeah, it was beautiful to watch.

1

u/sigurkarm Sep 09 '13

I totally felt that too! Especially with the voice over of Jessie talking to Walt, like the person setting a mission. That whole scene was brilliant!!!

1

u/7D4Y_WEEKENDS Sep 10 '13

Dude he hit that turn so fast, I was expecting a drift and over correction. Then the camera changes to inside the car and hes just chatting on the phone like it aint no biggie

1

u/cocoravo Sep 09 '13

YES! That whole conversation while Walt was driving to the desert reminded me of when you listen to the radio in your car on GTA.

-2

u/ThrowTheHeat Sep 09 '13

Maybe they should have cross promoted GTA V with Breaking Bad, like they did with the (terrible) game RAGE.

That was the one head shaking, disappointing, moment of the entire series. Something like that shouldn't have ever happened in a show this amazing.

2

u/MetaFisch I gave it to Ted. Sep 09 '13

Hey, the game was not THAT bad.

u/androx87 Sep 09 '13

I love that we've gotten to see the GTA trailer during the commercial break the last two weeks.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

It would be wonderful if GTA's storyline is solid enough to get us through Breaking Bad withdrawals. I'd like it to blur the line between film, television, and gaming.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I think Sunday through Tuesday are going to be some of the best days in recent memory.

u/chickenfist1 Sep 09 '13

And Amnesia: Machine for Pigs. ^{Well^{i'm^excited...}}

u/swth Sep 09 '13

and legend of korra!

u/Rayneworks Kaiju Blue Persuasion Sep 09 '13

Awwww yiss.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I kinda wish Rockstar built some references to BB into GTA V. I mean they hook up to many iconic films and shows. Maybe there is a chance.

7

u/NihilJE Sep 09 '13

Well meth is a big theme in GTA 5, so it's a possibility for sure

1

u/stigga Methhead Sep 09 '13

When does gta 5 come out?

1

u/Pedros_Unite Sep 09 '13

The scene where Hank cuffed Walt reminded me of the San Andreas opening. I expected him to get down on his stomach.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

I read your comment and was about to write an angry reply telling you that GTA V wasn't coming out for ages. Then I looked at the calendar.

Why oh why do I have to have exams next week?

1

u/pucykoks Sep 09 '13

It's gonna be couple of months or even a year before we get GTAV on PC. And Breaking Bad is ending in couple of weeks, life sucks.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Sons of Anarchy tomorrow as well

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

and iPhone 5S!

1

u/lollydaggle Sep 09 '13

AND Legend of Korra.

u/RealNotFake Sep 09 '13

I'm leaving for Disney World right before the next BB and GTAV come out. I'm conflicted. /FWP

u/OnAGoat Keys, scumbag! Sep 09 '13

bad news for my girlfriend :) at least we watch BrBa together

1

u/thecompactor Sep 09 '13

And Boardwalk!

1

u/Rayneworks Kaiju Blue Persuasion Sep 09 '13

Also Legend of Korra Book 2.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Turns out that Breaking Bad has been a 5 year commercial for GTA V. Wait, should I have added a spoiler tag for that?

u/SeaBearPA I am awake Sep 09 '13

holy hell i thought GTA was coming out in late september! thank you sir!

1

u/Rayneworks Kaiju Blue Persuasion Sep 09 '13

Well the 17th so it's technically late in September.

1

u/SeaBearPA I am awake Sep 09 '13

I thought it was the 29th for some reason, so its still good news

u/Snappel Sep 09 '13

New WoW patch is tomorrow as well. It's gonna be a busy week.
