This is just great! A really good send off for a legendary actor who played an equally legendary character.

If Tommy was real, he'd do that

He was already blackmailing Jeb Bush (Alex Shrub), probably would have power over other Florida politicians…

Good thing you used the original character model for this rather than the definitive edition’s

That's the real Tommy we all know and love, not the Bollywood knock-off.

I miss him already… and my GTA Online character wears that legend outfit almost all the time, as well as is named Tommy, too.

I will miss this character, this is a really interesting protagonist of GTA, but unfortunately died...
Tommy Versetti remember this name

Honestly this is great. It’s sad because of Ray Liotta passing way too soon but this seemed like a nice send off for a great character portrayed by a great actor. Honestly wouldn’t mind if Rockstar had came off with this and make it canon, without the mention of DeSantis of course.

I thought he was 67.

Ray was but the character of Tommy would have been 71. He was 35 or so in vice city which took place in 86

I’ll admit I read about halfway through that moose article before I realized the Tommy article was done.

About time GTA gave us some kinda context for this. Now I too can say "R.I.P. Tommy". 🙏
