Steven Ogg famously portrayed the wildcard character Trevor in Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5, and he needs Rockstar introduced the character again for GTA 6.
Talking to Precept Journal, Ogg mentioned it could have been a pleasant second to “cross the torch” to have Trevor present up firstly of GTA 6 “sitting on the bathroom” or doing a little “bizarre factor” like strolling round having one thing fall on his head, knocking him to the bottom.
In brief, Ogg mentioned he needed Trevor to have some sort of “acknowledgement” that Trevor’s story is over and it is time for Jason and Lucia to take middle stage in GTA 6. Ogg mentioned it might have been a pleasant full circle second as a result of, in GTA 5, Trevor’s first scene exhibits him bashing Johnny Klebitz from GTA 4.
“I’m not a fan of the entire reboots and the sequels. I don’t get the … the starvation for that, however there may be, as a result of it makes cash and that’s why individuals do it,” he mentioned.
Ogg went on to say issues have come to this point since GTA 5, so he needed to see how characters from GTA 5 might look in GTA 6, given the technical enhancements from the previous decade.

He acknowledged he did not like how individuals would name him Trevor, and never Steven, in actual life, although.
“That’s been all blown out of proportion. Or that I hate GTA and now I’m beginning to embrace it extra. No, it’s simply early on, there was lots of people calling me Trevor. And I’d be like, ‘Properly, my title is Steven,'” he mentioned. “So I might by no means perceive that. So it’s all the time like ‘What’s your title, David? Okay, Nolan.’ It doesn’t make sense if you already know somebody’s title and also you’re calling them another person’s title. I don’t get it. And I perceive individuals affiliate with characters and connections,” he mentioned. “At these Comedian Cons, they’re not Documentary Cons. So I couldn’t be these individuals. I imply, I couldn’t even be Trevor, as a result of he’s a cartoon. Simon [from The Walking Dead] was a human on a TV present, at the least. Yeah, it’s simply a kind of issues. It’s like… [scratches head]. It’s like me calling you, you already know, Barbara.”
