What if Trevor had been the protagonist of GTA IV?
(Image via Rockstar Games) Imagine Liberty City through the eyes of a complete maniac. No cold, calculated Niko Bellic. No tragic war stories. Just Trevor Philips, the crazy chaos machine and unapologetic psycho running the show. Yeah, it would've been absolutely unhinged . Here's what GTA IV might've looked like if Trevor was driving the story (and probably crashing into everything on the way). Liberty City Would've Burned (Literally) Niko was about revenge, loyalty, and lowkey trying to be a better person (even while gunning down half the city). Trevor? Not even close. His entire vibe is 'I'll do it because I can.' Missions would be less about strategy and more about maximum carnage. Think less 'let's sneak in and grab the guy' and more 'let's blow up the entire building and see what's left.' He's the kind of guy who'd cause a five-star police chase just to pick up fast food. Trevor Philips Adventures in GTA 4 Episode 1 Every Relationship = Pure Chaos Niko had complicated bonds—with Roman, Michelle, Packie… it was messy, but human. Trevor? He'd probably rob Roman's cab business by mission two. Any romantic subplot? Instantly toxic. Trevor's the guy who'd go on a date, then threaten the waiter for 'looking weird.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo There'd be zero trust, constant backstabbing, and a lot of yelling. Every cutscene? Explosive. Drama would be off the charts. Mission Design? Straight-Up Madness Trevor's missions in GTA V are infamous for a reason—cannibal cults, train heists, torturing people… he doesn't do normal. So with him leading GTA IV, missions would be dialed up to 100. One minute you're hijacking a chopper while high on something unidentifiable, the next you're chasing a guy through Times Square on fire . Story coherence? Who needs it. Just vibes. Violent, chaotic vibes. The Story Arc: No Redemption, Just Mayhem GTA IV tried to be deep. It wanted you to feel things. It gave you moral choices. Trevor wouldn't care about any of that. You pick 'revenge' or 'deal'? Trevor does both —and kills everyone anyway. There's no growth with Trevor. No lesson. No emotional payoff. Just an endless, spiraling descent into beautifully entertaining anarchy. Trevor arrives in Liberty City | GTA IV Liberty City Wouldn't Survive Let's not lie—Trevor would turn Liberty City into an actual warzone. The cops? Outgunned. The gangs? Out-crazied. The civilians? Running for their lives. The city already felt tense with Niko. With Trevor, it'd feel like The Purge: Forever Edition . Every corner would be chaos central. Would It Work? Honestly? Kinda. Trevor brings energy . He's the grenade in a quiet room. While it would kill all the seriousness and moral conflict of GTA IV, it'd replace it with something else: pure, wild fun. Liberty City wouldn't just be a battleground—it'd be a playground of destruction. And Trevor would be king of the chaos. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.
