GTA V Remastered: 10 Reasons To Revisit San Andreas

4. Mr. Philips

The true breakout star of Grand Theft Auto V is a certain Mr. Trevor Philips. The anarchic business man (hey, drugs are serious business too) captured gamers hearts when the game first launched, thanks to his unique mix of insanity and heroism (well, he murders bad guys; that's heroic, right?). Trevor is introduced as a protagonist while Michael and Franklin are laying low after their first heist; we're introduced to Trevor's misadventures in the desert with the mission Mr. Philips. Within the first cutscene of this mission, we're introduced to Trevor as he watches TV and learns that Michael (his former partner) is still alive... all while he's having sex. We're then reintroduced to Johnny Klebitz (protagonist of GTA IV's Lost And Damned) before Trevor brutally murders him - all in the same cutscene. Unhinged doesn't even come close to describing Trevor's state of mind. The mission then consists of him mowing down the rest of the biker gang including Lost And Damned supporting characters Terry and Clay as he seeks to consolidate himself as the leading meth dealer in Blaine County. He also rams the trailer of another rival gang's leader into the local river - all's fair in love and war, right? As far as introductions go, Trevor's is perfect; Mr. Philips is a great example of the chaos and destruction that Trevor will be bringing throughout the remainder of the game. Replaying a mission usually makes it less fun but hopefully with the improved graphics of the next-gen version, we'll be able to enjoy Trevor's brand of mayhem even more.
