| − | '''[[wp:Vehicle registration plate|Vehicle license plates]]''' are introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] with the player's ability to explore in a three-dimensional environment making plates viewable. The feature has very little use aside for cosmetic purposes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Description == |
||
| − | License plates in GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] are static textures, with all plates in GTA III reading ''LC R29'' (the ''LC'' could stand for [[Liberty City in GTA III|Liberty City]]). In GTA Vice City, some vehicles retain the LC R29 plates; others have blurred and illegible versions of the Florida state plate. |
||
| − | |||
| − | License plates are dynamic in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], generating random 7 character license numbers that consist of both letters and numbers. The pattern is: two letters and two numbers, then a space, then a number and two letters (e.g. '''AA00 0AA'''). Each of the three major cities in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] have their own plates and some vehicles have their own custom license numbers. Note, however, that during a session of play, all cars of the same model will have the same number plate (for example, all [[Landstalker]]s will have the same plates). These will change if a new session of play is started, even if stored in a garage. |

||
| − | For [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], license plates in both games feature a "LC" (Liberty City) and "VC" (Vice City) prefix, respectively, followed by a four-digit number. While still more varied than in GTA III and GTA Vice City, the games only offer a limited number of license numbers, with each of them specific to certain vehicles' models. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], license plates do not have an actual letter-number combination. Every vehicle that has a license plate has "LIBERTY CITY" in large blue capital letters. If a player zooms in with the analog sticks, or with a sniper rifle, they can see that it says "Liberty City State" . These license plates are almost an exact clone of the current [[wp:New York (state)|New York]] license plates, as seen [http://www.netstate.com/states/links/images/ny_license_plate.jpg here]. It is possible that the plates were intended to have a letter-number combination, much like the vehicles in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], but it may have been forgotten during the game's development. Trailers, however, have numbered plates. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[Grand Theft Auto V]] , the license plates resemble the current California plates, but have "San Andreas" written on top instead. There are 8 random characters on each plate; the pattern is two numbers, followed by three letters and three numbers ('''00AAA000'''). |

| − | |||
| − | Custom plates are typically vanity plates featured on special vehicles, such as vehicles belonging to certain individuals or custom vehicles. Such plates has been seen in use in both GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. In San Andreas they cannot be saved in garages, if they are they simply revert to a usual seven digit plate. |
||

| − | == Trivia == |
||
| − | *In real-life, the [[United States of America]]'s license plates shows only the state's name and not the city's name like in GTA series. Only [[Grand Theft Auto V]] will feature the name of the state. |
