There is speculation that Claude Speed is the same character as [[Claude]] from [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. Aside from the same first name, the Claude that appears in [[GTA 2: The Movie]] is dressed similarly (but not identically) to the Claude of GTA III. The movie's version of Claude Speed shares a several physical appearances with the Claude in the [[GTA III Era]] games, including his black jacket (made of cloth in GTA 2 and leather in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), t-shirt (white color in GTA 2 and black in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), long pants (black color in GTA 2 and dark khaki in GTA III, GTA San Andreas) and slicked hair. | |||
Rockstar has never confirmed or denied that the two are the same person: in response to a query posted by a fan, an official spokesperson said: | |||

It seems very likely but it’s also possible that there are just a lot of angry silent car thieves called Claude out there.''"<ref>[http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/19081/asked-answered-max-payne-3-la-noire-red-dead-and-more.html ''Asked & Answered: Max Payne 3, L.A.

Rockstar created an official [[wp:Facebook|Facebook]] quiz called "''What Grand Theft Auto character are you?''", in which by answering sixteen questions, the user would be given a character from the GTA series that fitted their personality. Certain combinations of answers would result in the answer '''Claude Speed''' with the artwork of GTA III's Claude, suggesting that either Claude Speed was merged with Claude, or that the two characters are exactly the same character, while also suggesting that this could be an official confirmation of them being the same characters. However, the accompanying description makes no reference to GTA 2.<ref>[http://apps.facebook.com/grandtheftautoquiz/ ''What Grand Theft Auto character are you?'' - facebook.com]</ref> | |||
It would be worth noting that if both Claudes were the same character, it would prove one of the following: | |||
*[[Grand Theft Auto 2]] is canon with the [[GTA III Era]]. | |||
*Claude Speed was the beta name of Claude. | |||
*Claude was still alive in 2012. | |||

* Upon close inspection of Claude Speed's rapsheet in the intro movie, it reveals that he is 28 during GTA 2, which is set in 2013. If Claude Speed is in fact Claude from GTA III, this would make Claude 16-17 during GTA III, set in 2001. This makes makes it unlikely that they are the same character. | * Upon close inspection of Claude Speed's rapsheet in the intro movie, it reveals that he is 28 during GTA 2, which is set in 2013.
