Full transcript

  1. 0:00Rockstar has now named 30 places on GTA
  2. 0:036's map, and almost nobody is put them
  3. 0:05all together. No leaks, no fan maps,
  4. 0:07only what Rockstar itself has put its
  5. 0:09name on in its own pages, its trailers,
  6. 0:12and the new screenshots.
  7. 0:13Vice City is back, but it isn't the city
  8. 0:16you remember. 30 [music] places, six
  9. 0:18regions one by one. And on launch day,
  10. 0:21Rockstar is handing out a free copy of
  11. 0:23that map. [music] And a few of them are
  12. 0:25back from the 2002 Vice City those can
  13. 0:27be the end.
  14. 0:29First, the size. In Rockstar's own
  15. 0:32words, [music] Aaron Garbut told Game
  16. 0:34Informer it's the biggest map Rockstar
  17. 0:36has ever made by some degree. [music]
  18. 0:39Roughly twice as large as GTA 5.
  19. 0:41And Rockstar told Edge the landmass is
  20. 0:44nearly as big as the maps of GTA 4, GTA
  21. 0:465, and Red [music] Dead 2 all combined.
  22. 0:50It also has an order of magnitude more
  23. 0:51interiors than any Rockstar [music] game
  24. 0:53before it. Every back alley is detailed.
  25. 0:56Six regions, Vice City, the Leonida
  26. 0:58Keys, Grass Rivers, Port Gellhorn,
  27. 1:01Ambrosia, [music]
  28. 1:02and Mount Caliga. And only one big city.
  29. 1:04And here's the newest part. Rockstar is
  30. 1:06giving everyone a free printable map of
  31. 1:08Leonida as a download on launch day. A
  32. 1:10physical poster comes to the Rockstar
  33. 1:12store after launch for 99 [music] cents,
  34. 1:14but it's not in the box. The roads are
  35. 1:16narrower than in GTA 5 and what Rockstar
  36. 1:17[music] calls a more believable size.
  37. 1:20The day lasts much longer and you can
  38. 1:22see a storm coming across the map and
  39. 1:23[music] drive straight into it. And more
  40. 1:25than 170 animal species live across it.
  41. 1:28From [music] the swamp to the coral
  42. 1:29reef, even the people change. Their
  43. 1:31fashion and tattoos depend on which part
  44. 1:33of Leonida you are in.
  45. 1:35So let's fill in that map ourselves. The
  46. 1:37in-game map looks like satellite [music]
  47. 1:38imagery and buses, trains, and a ride
  48. 1:40share app help you get around.
  49. 1:42[music] Planning a YouTube channel that
  50. 1:44makes 2,000 to 10,000 a month like this
  51. 1:48one?
  52. 1:4990% of the work is fully automated. Join
  53. 1:52our Patreon for the full details.
  54. 1:55[music] Vice City gets the most names,
  55. 1:57so we start there. Rockstar calls
  56. 2:00glamour, hustle, and greed of America,
  57. 2:02captured in a single city.
  58. 2:05Number one, Ocean Beach. Pastel Art Deco
  59. 2:08hotels and bright white sand, straight
  60. 2:10from Rockstar's page. [music] It's
  61. 2:11clearly Rockstar's Miami Beach and Ocean
  62. 2:14Drive. Picture rolling down that strip
  63. 2:16at sunset with the top down.
  64. 2:18This is the real Ocean Drive. Same
  65. 2:20pastel deco [music] fronts, same neon at
  66. 2:22night. Game Informer says that for the
  67. 2:24first time, Vice City feels genuinely
  68. 2:27familiar.
  69. 2:28And there's a catch. Game Informer says
  70. 2:30those congested roads make police chases
  71. 2:32harder in the city. At three stars,
  72. 2:34Rockstar's advice is to get off the
  73. 2:36[music] streets.
  74. 2:37Two, Shore Drive. Rockstar calls the
  75. 2:40Ultimate Edition's Grotti Cheetah an ode
  76. 2:42to Shore Drive and tells you to cruise
  77. 2:44it.
  78. 2:45Three, the Shore Court Garage, a stone's
  79. 2:48throw from Ocean Beach. [music] It comes
  80. 2:50with a vintage Vice City pack for anyone
  81. 2:52who buys before November 20th, and it
  82. 2:54has a weapon locker and a place to drop
  83. 2:56stolen goods to be fenced. [music] Four,
  84. 2:58Little Cuba with its bustling
  85. 2:59panaderias, the Cuban bakeries. That's
  86. 3:02Rockstar's Little Havana, the real Cuban
  87. 3:04neighborhood around Calle Ocho in Miami.
  88. 3:06Picture parking up there for a morning
  89. 3:08coffee before a job.
  90. 3:10Five, the Little Havana flea market,
  91. 3:12home of the bootleg brands. [music]
  92. 3:13Expect knockoff everything, from the
  93. 3:15shoes to the watches. The name even
  94. 3:17sounds like Opalaka, a city in Miami
  95. 3:19Dade. [music] That's our guess, not
  96. 3:21Rockstar's. Six, the VC Port, which
  97. 3:24Rockstar [music] calls the cruise ship
  98. 3:26capital of the world. Picture a deal
  99. 3:28going down between the containers with a
  100. 3:29ship the size of a skyscraper behind
  101. 3:31you. Seven and eight come from
  102. 3:33Rockstar's own footage on highway signs,
  103. 3:35[music] downtown and the airport. Game
  104. 3:37Informer describes a glitzy downtown,
  105. 3:39and the extended look shows the airport
  106. 3:41apron at night.
  107. 3:42And this week's screenshots add downtown
  108. 3:44at night, towers lit up, a drawbridge
  109. 3:46raised over the water, and a helicopter
  110. 3:48overhead.
  111. 3:49Picture a getaway with that bridge going
  112. 3:50up in front of you. Another shows the
  113. 3:53marina, yachts lined up with the
  114. 3:55downtown skyline right behind, and a jet
  115. 3:58climbing out. Water, [music] money, and
  116. 4:00an airport all in one frame.
  117. 4:02Nine, Washington Beach. That's where the
  118. 4:05ultimate edition Squalo speedboat is
  119. 4:07docked. 10, the Versetti estate. [music]
  120. 4:10Rockstar says these two revolvers were
  121. 4:12sourced from it. If that name rings a
  122. 4:14bell, hold on to it. It comes back at
  123. 4:16the end.
  124. 4:1711, [music] South Side Vice City.
  125. 4:20Rockstar says you can raid the compound
  126. 4:21of one of its loudest gangs there and
  127. 4:23escape safely with contraband. 12, the
  128. 4:26Jack of Hearts, Boobie Ike's strip club.
  129. 4:29[music] 13, Only Raw Records, the label
  130. 4:32Boobie runs with Dre Quan. Dre Quan used
  131. 4:34to book Ike's into the club. Now he's
  132. 4:36signed Real Dimes, and he has his sights
  133. 4:38on the whole Vice City scene. And
  134. 4:40Rockstar [music] ties them together. The
  135. 4:41club money pays for the studio. 14,
  136. 4:44Afluvia, a rooftop bar sign you can read
  137. 4:46in the extended look. And 15, Peacock
  138. 4:49Bay, a name on a highway sign. Where it
  139. 4:52leads, Rockstar hasn't said.
  140. 4:55South of the mainland, the island's
  141. 4:57trail off. This is Rockstar's Florida
  142. 4:59Keys, and its tagline is Gateway to
  143. 5:02Paradise. Rockstar's line, the dress
  144. 5:04code is casual, the bars are loaded,
  145. 5:06life here isn't flashy, but it's easy.
  146. 5:0916, [music]
  147. 5:10Brian Hyder's boat yard. Rockstar says
  148. 5:12Brian is still moving product through it
  149. 5:14with [music] his third wife, Lori.
  150. 5:1717, Jason's place. Brian lets him live
  151. 5:20rent-free in one of his properties. The
  152. 5:22price? He helps with the local
  153. 5:24shakedowns. [music] His friend Cal lives
  154. 5:25nearby, too. Rockstar says Cal feels
  155. 5:28safest at home snooping on Coast Guard
  156. 5:30radio with a few beers. [music] In a
  157. 5:31smuggling town, that's a useful hobby.
  158. 5:34And it fits real history. In the '70s
  159. 5:36and '80s, the Florida Keys really were a
  160. 5:38smuggling highway with boats and planes
  161. 5:40running loads in from the Caribbean.
  162. 5:41[music] That's exactly where Rockstar
  163. 5:43puts Jason working for local drug
  164. 5:45runners.
  165. 5:4618, the Rusty Anchor, a bar with a live
  166. 5:48band in this week's new screenshots. It
  167. 5:50feels like a Keys bar, but that's our
  168. 5:52read. Rockstar didn't caption it.
  169. 5:5519, [music] The Reef.
  170. 5:56A diver over coral with lionfish all
  171. 5:59around and a boat above. [music] The
  172. 6:01extended look already showed a diver
  173. 6:02going down into a sinkhole, too. So
  174. 6:04swimming isn't just the beach this time.
  175. 6:06Scuba diving and jet skis are both
  176. 6:08confirmed activities. [music]
  177. 6:10Rockstar calls these some of the most
  178. 6:11beautiful and dangerous waters in
  179. 6:12America. Picture diving down here while
  180. 6:15someone else is waiting on the boat.
  181. 6:17Next, the wild middle of the state.
  182. 6:20Rockstar says the Gators may be the most
  183. 6:22famous attraction, but there are far
  184. 6:25deadlier predators. 20, the Grass
  185. 6:27River's wetland itself, Rockstar's
  186. 6:29Everglades. Rockstar's warning, you
  187. 6:31never know what lies beneath the
  188. 6:33surface. Game Informer sums it up as
  189. 6:35alligators, airboats, and armed
  190. 6:37outdoorsmen. And the new screenshots
  191. 6:39show both, an airboat in green fog and a
  192. 6:42party with a snake on the table.
  193. 6:44Rockstar's older screenshots show a
  194. 6:45police chase tearing through the swamp
  195. 6:47with gators in the water and an airboat
  196. 6:49behind. So yes, the police will follow
  197. 6:51you in there. [music] Game Informer
  198. 6:53points out the real Everglades had a
  199. 6:55drug running past too. Picture an
  200. 6:57airboat at night, no lights, and
  201. 6:59something big moving in the water beside
  202. 7:01you.
  203. 7:02Then west, there's a very different
  204. 7:04coast. Rockstar calls [music] Port St.
  205. 7:05Lucie Leonita's forgotten coast. Cheap
  206. 7:08motels, shut down attractions, and an
  207. 7:10economy of malt liquor, painkillers, and
  208. 7:13truck stop energy drinks. 21, Delights
  209. 7:16Cabaret, the neon sign in this week's
  210. 7:18only Port St. Lucie screenshot. And
  211. 7:19Rockstar's advice for this town, jump on
  212. 7:21a dirt bike and hold on to your wallet.
  213. 7:23And here's the detail. The forgotten
  214. 7:25coast is the real nickname of part of
  215. 7:27Florida's Panhandle. Rockstar told Game
  216. 7:29Informer it studied Panama City,
  217. 7:31Jacksonville, Ocala, and small rural
  218. 7:33towns to build the north of the map.
  219. 7:36In the heart of the state is Ambrosia.
  220. 7:38Rockstar says the battle for the health
  221. 7:40and wealth of Leonita begins here.
  222. 7:4322, the Allied Crystal Sugar Refinery.
  223. 7:47[music] It provides the jobs, Rockstar
  224. 7:48says, while the local biker gang
  225. 7:50provides almost everything else.
  226. 7:52Edge even heard about a patriotic town
  227. 7:54where the biker gang loves the police in
  228. 7:56the middle of a mayoral race.
  229. 7:59Real Florida has a sugar heartland too
  230. 8:01around Lake Okeechobee. One town there,
  231. 8:03Clewiston, calls itself America's
  232. 8:05sweetest town. That's almost certainly
  233. 8:07where Ambrosia comes from.
  234. 8:09And don' expect a quiet farm town.
  235. 8:11Rockstar screenshots show a full mud
  236. 8:13party, trucks and people covered head to
  237. 8:15toe. That's a weekend in Ambrosia.
  238. 8:19Further north, the land gets wilder.
  239. 8:21Rockstar calls it room to breathe on the
  240. 8:23state's northern fringes.
  241. 8:2523 [music] Mount Colaga National Park, a
  242. 8:27national landmark with hunting, fishing,
  243. 8:29and off-road trails.
  244. 8:31Fun fact, Florida doesn't have
  245. 8:32mountains. Its highest point, Britton
  246. 8:34Hill, is just 345 [music] ft. So Leonida
  247. 8:37gave itself its own mountain.
  248. 8:39Game Informer screenshots show hikers on
  249. 8:41a wooden footbridge [music] under a
  250. 8:42waterfall up here, though the exact spot
  251. 8:44isn't named.
  252. 8:45Rockstar also describes a lumber
  253. 8:47industry and deforesting zones in the
  254. 8:48north.
  255. 8:50And the coast up there takes after Black
  256. 8:51Rock and Boneyard Beaches, the Driftwood
  257. 8:53Beaches near Jacksonville.
  258. 8:55Bass fishing on lakes draped in Spanish
  259. 8:56moss is on the list, too. And in the
  260. 8:58backwoods around it, Rockstar promises
  261. 9:00hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals.
  262. 9:0424 the top edge of the map, the Leonida
  263. 9:07Gloriana line. That's Rockstar's
  264. 9:09Florida-Georgia line.
  265. 9:11Game Informer adds mud parks,
  266. 9:12destruction derbies on floodlit ovals,
  267. 9:14golf, and gated communities with their
  268. 9:16own landing strips.
  269. 9:19These next ones are real names from
  270. 9:21Rockstar, but nobody knows exactly where
  271. 9:23they sit yet. Most come from the
  272. 9:25Ultimate Edition page, so they're places
  273. 9:26Rockstar clearly wants you to visit. 25
  274. 9:29Watson Bay, [music] home of the Paradise
  275. 9:31Garage. It's the Ultimate Edition's
  276. 9:34second garage with its own weapon locker
  277. 9:36and a drop for stolen [music] goods. 26
  278. 9:39Lake Leonida, where One-Eyed Willy's mod
  279. 9:41shop does off-road builds and
  280. 9:43hand-painted cars.
  281. 9:4527 Gambit Bay. Rockstar says the Squalo
  282. 9:48is perfect for fishing there.
  283. 9:5028 Stockyard, [music]
  284. 9:52home of Stock 305 Streetwear and the
  285. 9:54Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor. Electric
  286. 9:56Fang has over 50 tattoos, all designed
  287. 9:58by the art duo Fail.
  288. 10:00Two more Ultimate Edition businesses,
  289. 10:02Sarah's Unisex Salon and Rideout
  290. 10:04Customs, have no place name at all yet,
  291. 10:06so they're not on our list of 30.
  292. 10:08[music] 29 Ricardo Tires, a gas sign in
  293. 10:11this week's screenshots with a bike crew
  294. 10:13under green underglow.
  295. 10:15And 30, the Leonida Penitentiary, where
  296. 10:17Lucia's story starts. [music]
  297. 10:19Rockstar says fighting for her family
  298. 10:21landed her there and sheer luck got her
  299. 10:23out.
  300. 10:25Now, the payoff I promised. Look at
  301. 10:27those names again. Ocean Beach,
  302. 10:30Washington Beach, and Downtown were all
  303. 10:32districts of the original Vice City in
  304. 10:342002.
  305. 10:35The old Vice Port is now the VC Port,
  306. 10:37and the old Little Havana looks like it
  307. 10:39became Little Cuba.
  308. 10:41And the Vercetti estate was Tommy
  309. 10:43Vercetti's mansion. Rockstar even named
  310. 10:46a weapon pattern after his palm tree
  311. 10:48shirt. [music]
  312. 10:49Is it the same house, still standing?
  313. 10:51Not confirmed, but Rockstar chose that
  314. 10:53name on purpose. [music]
  315. 10:55Even the Cheetah and the Squalo were in
  316. 10:56that game. Over 20 years later, it's the
  317. 10:59same city, rebuilt. [music]
  318. 11:01What about the rest of the old map?
  319. 11:02Starfish Island, Vice Point, Little
  320. 11:04Haiti, [music] Rockstar hasn't named any
  321. 11:06of them for GTA 6 yet, so if they're
  322. 11:08back, we find out on November 19th.
  323. 11:12And here's what Rockstar hasn't told us.
  324. 11:14There's no official size in square
  325. 11:16miles.
  326. 11:17Liberty City is only part of Lucia's
  327. 11:19past, and Vice City up north isn't
  328. 11:22announced as playable. No Orlando-style
  329. 11:24theme parks or Space Coast have been
  330. 11:26shown either. Rockstar told Game
  331. 11:28Informer they may not have those exact
  332. 11:30places, but everything they have is
  333. 11:32geared to getting that full Florida
  334. 11:34experience.
  335. 11:35The county names you've seen in leaked
  336. 11:36maps and fan maps aren't Rockstar's, so
  337. 11:39we left them out. What is confirmed?
  338. 11:41Preload opens November 10th, and you can
  339. 11:43drive to every one of these places from
  340. 11:45November 19th.
  341. 11:47[music]
  342. 11:48So that's 30 places. Which one is your
  343. 11:50first stop? And which old Vice City
  344. 11:52place do you want back? Tell me in the
  345. 11:54comments. And for launch day, here are
  346. 11:5630 things you need to do when GTA 6
  347. 11:59releases. [music]
  348. 11:59It's on screen now. See you in Leonida.
