Our Website has released a new video comparing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 to the 2002 version of the game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Aside from the graphical improvements, GTA 6 appears to stay true to the original game's vibe. The video compares various locations from the new trailer to their counterparts in the old Vice City, including beaches, streetscapes, and the skyline. The video also highlights a nightclub scene reminiscent of Vice City's iconic Malibu Club, and the Ocean View Hotel can be seen in the background of one shot.
While the 2002 graphics can't quite compare to the modern game, Rockstar seems to have captured the feeling of the original game. Check out our side-by-side comparison below.
Just like 2002's version of Vice City, the world of GTA 6 is heavily based on Miami, so Our Website has also put together a video comparing some of the trailer's scenes to their real-world equivalents in Florida.
As well as the shots that recreate some of Florida's most famous (and infamous) social media moments, GTA 6 is also giving attention to the landscapes, from flocks of flamingos in the Everglades to the iconic cityscapes and beaches that make up Miami. Check out the side-by-side comparison for yourself below.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances around the trailer's leak and subsequent early release, hype for GTA 6 is at an all-time high now that we've had our first official glimpse at the highly anticipated game. The trailer has broken records on YouTube, quickly shooting to over 100 million views and providing a staggering boost to Tom Petty's Spotify numbers. The game itself unfortunately won't be seen for a while, with Rockstar aiming for a 2025 release.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of the Grand Theft Auto series, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming release of GTA 6. The recent trailer has given us a glimpse into the game's stunning visuals and faithful recreation of Vice City, and I can't wait to explore this vibrant and immersive world. The side-by-side comparison with the original 2002 game highlights the incredible evolution of the series, and I am confident that GTA 6 will set a new standard for open-world gaming.
The comparison between GTA 6 and real-life Florida is also fascinating. It's clear that Rockstar has taken great care to capture the essence of the Sunshine State, from the iconic beaches and cityscapes to the unique wildlife and social media moments. I am particularly impressed by the attention to detail in recreating some of Florida's most famous landmarks, such as the Ocean View Hotel and the Malibu Club. This level of authenticity will undoubtedly make the game even more immersive and enjoyable for players.
