Ray Liotta Wins Award for GTA Vice City

[@MafiaGameVideos]

Do you wiseguys want to see more GTA content?

[@eightnickel1513]

Sure

[@BuryTheLight-tds]

Absolutely. I hope you'll check out Saints Row 2 and maybe 1 as well

[@romacechina]

Be good to see you put up GTA content, though the Don himself Whatever57010 may want a cut of the profits 😉.

RIP Ray Liotta. Legendary actor. I wish he lived to play Tommy again in GTA 6 for a cameo appearance.

[@Thirdcoastghost]

I’m hoping Rockstar will honor him with a Vercetti Easter egg of some sort. See you in 2025 for the confirmation

[@caddilacjones2397]

All those characters from ps2 generation are dead said Rockstar when they released GTA4 when asked about returning characters then.

Much better than the corporate slog Geoff Keighley has made it recently.

[@AriCalifornia-yu7vq]

​@@Pleasuredome552well he stated he was never into video games so i think he was caught off guard at how big the whole thing got

[@romacechina]

Ray apparently according to Rockstar found doing the whole game quite difficult and was hard to work with at times, while Ray felt he was underpaid by them (not the last time the lead VA would accuse Rockstar of underpaying them). But the man gave it his all and truly brought Tommy to life in Vice City and deserved his award here.

[@yourbarber6732]

Yeah Niko and GTA 5 cast are the only actors that haven't had a huge problem. It's only the 2000s actors that said something, CJ's actor has been dissing rockstar for years but he's eased up lately

[@romacechina]

@@yourbarber6732 actually, Niko’s actor spoke out against Rockstar as well. Feeling they underpaid him for the amount of money the game made and as a result, has refused to reprise his role since.

[@barbodshah9765]

@@romacechina I don't remember the situation exactly but as far as i remember he said he was cool with rockstar and he was happy to do the job and his main criticism was toward the actors union. But I may be wrong

[@yourbarber6732]

@@romacechina Damn that sucks I hope the next gta (2038) takes place in a new state, would prob be the best change and add a chance for more distinct characters. Wish these actors weren't underpaid for playing some of the best characters in the series

Rockstar is known for underpaying voice actors despite making billions in sales. That’s why they use mostly unknown actors these days.

[@darkmaster4598]

His: "looking forward to the next one" made me sad😢

[@South_park_boy]

Relax, he was probably uncomfortable

[@zeked4200]

He wasn't going to be in GTA VI. Even though they're both set in Vice City, it's two different universes. Just like Los Santos in V and SA. He could have been in GTA SA...but apparently he was a bit of a d!ck to work with...so they axed that plan. Too bad. Idk the whole story, so maybe he was *that* bad, but it sucks that what probably amounts to petty disagreements robbed of us of what would have been a cool addition to an already great game.

[@91Definite]

@@South_park_boy he felt like he ain’t wanted to do it,despite he ain’t get a lot of money from it

[@brennocalderan2201]

I didn't know this existed! That's dope! R.I.P Mr. Liotta, the eternal Tommy Vercetti.

[@StarWolf_88]

Right when Vice City was out and San Andreas was not yet out...This had to have been 2003....what a time!

[@adrian34138]

May he rest in peace ⭐️🌴

[@trcsonic]

Tommy was suppose to be the owner of the cassino from GTA San Andreas, but something goes wrong with Ray Liotta and Rockstar chose Salvatore Leone instead. This is also the reason Ken Rosenbaurg and Kent Paul were working for Salvatore. It's sad because GTA San Andreas is the end of the trilogy without Tommy.

[@AW-kr9fl]

Wow I didn’t know that. That would’ve been awesome.

[@Mr.Vercetti-7]

If that's true, we were supposed to betray Tommy. Somehow glad that it struck Salvatore instead, lol

[@fox_2573]

End of 3d trilogy is Claude.

[@zeep3047]

​@@fox_2573easy to mess it up considering the release timings

[@vaibhavwasnik4996]

​@@Mr.Vercetti-7yeah of course then cj will become the biggest enemy in the list of tommy . then Tommy can't kill cj because of plot armor that cj is the main protagonist of gta san Andreas so tommy can't kill cj in his own game. So tommy will ended up like salvatore leone who can't takes his revenge for robbing his cassino to cj.

[@ludvik2008]

Props to him for actually coming to this sort of event. Rest in peace ❤️

[@jgunner94]

Dude he’s won an award for his work on the game. What you mean this sort of event?

[@ludvik2008]

@@jgunner94 My point is that this is a very over the top gamery event very unlike to what he is used to in Hollywood. Wouldn’t think a so renowned and famous actor would come to this show. The game awards sure, but this is very different. Not criticizing the event by any means btw

[@mikenewbold1699]

[@RealArtVandelay]

[@thefearofg0ds758]

This was the sweet spot of gaming. That 1998 - 2005 time period. G4TV, being excited when the newest issue of Game Informer arrives in the mail, there was an incentive to own every console(and each fanbase got along better). Truly a time to be missed.

[@TordaiJenoArthurJenci]

RIP Ray Liotta

[@MrLyosea]

Nice to see video of him acknowledging it in front of many people! Too bad he didn't care much for it and you can tell by his quick get it outta the way kind of attitude.

[@Merlaut715]

Definitely. He said he was looking forward to the next one, but didn't return for San Andreas for the scene when Ken tried to call Tommy.

[@Alphamask978]

I think it’s how things evolve & develop at that period of time, I think there was tension between Liotta & Rockstar behind the scenes, and as time went on I think he came to maybe change his perspective on it. Whether Rockstar & him would have worked together again that’s another thing altogether, but may Ray Liotta r.i.p.

[@GamingEditzz-f1q]

​I heard rockstar didn't pay the actors that much like Ryder's voice actor.

[@MrWolfSnack]

People expect to be paid retroactively. That's not how it works. They don;t understand the games industry. What they know is, you make a movie, you get paid, then you get paid when the movie goes to box office and you get a share. Not how games work. When they are paid $100k for a game role and the game then launches and sells several billion - they expect to be millionaires. @@GamingEditzz-f1q

[@MattC78]

Yes, he made sure everyone could tell he was reading that from a queue card.

[@squidparty2000]

I dont know if Ray ever realized how much he contributed into putting video games on par with movies by lending his voice and giving this performance. He probably didn't think it was a huge deal at the time but I feel he later realized how big video games became years later considering he voiced Billy in Black Ops 2 ten years later. RIP Ray.

[@JcP2321]

@elcactuar3354 he’s talking about the zombies map “Mob of the Dead” where Ray Liotta voices one of the characters named Billy. And Mob of the Dead is considered one of the best zombies maps of all time.

[@JamesTrifolium]

“Hi. I hated working on this shit. See you guys around.”

[@Jalex0021]

Pretty much. 😂

[@AlexRN]

Here’s a fun fact: GTA Vice City (2002) has more years between then and us right now (2023) than 2002’s Vice City was from its setting of 1986. Let that sink in for a second.

The 80's was only not even 15 years ago in 2002... I was in 6th and 7th grade in 2002. 1992 was just 10 years before that. Started school first year ever, September 1994... Kurt Cobain just died, Biggie and 2Pac were still alive.. To feel real old.. When I think of 10 years ago from now (2013/14), I see barely a difference between then and now.
