:"Just a hunch" is not anything to base this wiki's organisation on. I'm happy to discuss this, but a decision needs to be made here. Until we have concrete, permanent, undeniable proof otherwise, GTA V is to be treated as a new era on GTW. Even if there are many similarities, crossovers and even minor characters, it can still be a new era. It would need to be a DIRECT sequel of IV for us to reconsider.

:Have to disagree with Gboyers: there were several returning brands in the game: [[eCola]], [[Burger Shot]], [[Pißwasser]], etc.. And for each of them, their logos stayed exactly the same as in IV. Compare the III Era and IV Era logos of companies like [[Gruppe Sechs]] and [[Sprunk]], they were revamped for the IV Era. Plus, there were several cars (eg. [[Premier]], [[Landstalker]]) that appeared to be carried over from IV completely unaltered - all cars from the III Era were changed for IV. As for the recurring characters, remember that if it wasn't for IV's police database, GTA Chinatown Wars would have had no connection to IV's trinity bar its location. The "Era" system only exists because Rockstar felt that the new generation of consoles needed a fresh start character-wise. It all gets hazy before GTA III too: GTA 2 is completely isolated from GTA 1, but so is GTA London. Should they be counted as two different eras, or three? In my opinion, GTA V is called GTA V simply because GTA Los Santos isn't as catchy - GTA V would sell more copies. --[[User:Bluesboyjr|Bluesboyjr]] ([[User talk:Bluesboyjr|talk]]) 01:10, 6 November 2011 (GMT)
