The GTA 6 Map Is Impossible — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00This is Liberty City, the map in GTA 3.
2. 0:03And this is Leonida, the map in GTA 6.
3. 0:07Over the years, the maps in Grand Theft
4. 0:08Auto have gotten bigger and bigger, but
5. 0:10to truly understand the scale of
6. 0:12Leonida, let's first take a look at each
7. 0:14of the maps leading up to GTA 6,
8. 0:16starting with Liberty City in GTA 3.
9. 0:18Back in 2001, GTA 3 took the series into
10. 0:213D for the very first time, and the
11. 0:23whole game took place in Liberty City,
12. 0:25Rockstar's version of New York. Based on
13. 0:27fan measurements, the map was about 3
14. 0:29square [music] miles split across three
15. 0:31different islands. You didn't get them
16. 0:32all at once, either. At the start, the
17. 0:34bridge out to Portland gets blown up, so
18. 0:36you're stuck on that one island until
19. 0:38the story opens up the next one. And
20. 0:40every time you crossed over into a new
21. 0:41island, you'd have to wait for a loading
22. 0:43screen. The city was dark and gray, and
23. 0:45it rained a lot, but in 2001, being able
24. 0:48to drive anywhere you wanted in a 3D
25. 0:49[music] city felt huge. Then, 7 years
26. 0:52later, GTA 4 went back to Liberty City,
27. 0:55but Rockstar rebuilt the whole thing
28. 0:56from scratch.
29. 0:57>> [music]
30. 0:57>> This time, the map was about 6 square
31. 1:00miles, which is almost exactly double
32. 1:01GTA 3. This version was a lot closer to
33. 1:04the real New York, with in-game versions
34. 1:06of Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx,
35. 1:08Manhattan, and New Jersey. There was no
36. 1:10countryside at all, so every part of the
37. 1:12map was packed with city. The loading
38. 1:14screens between islands were gone, but
39. 1:16the bridges were still locked from the
40. 1:17start because of a terror alert, so you
41. 1:19still opened up the game as the story
42. 1:21went on. Then, in 2013, GTA 5 took us to
43. 1:24Los Santos and Blaine County, which is
44. 1:26Rockstar's version of Los Angeles and
45. 1:28Southern California. The map was about
46. 1:3029 miles, which is almost five times the
47. 1:33size of GTA 4. It was the first time
48. 1:35since San Andreas that Rockstar mixed a
49. 1:37big city with a ton of open land. You
50. 1:39had beaches, a desert, the Alamo Sea,
51. 1:42Mount Chiliad, small towns like Sandy
52. 1:45Shores and Paleto Bay, and even a whole
53. 1:47ocean floor that you could explore.
54. 1:49Before it came out, Rockstar said that
55. 1:50the map was bigger than Red Dead
56. 1:52Redemption, San Andreas, and GTA 4
57. 1:54combined. And this time, the whole map
58. 1:57was open right from the start. The one
59. 1:59complaint a lot of players had was that
60. 2:00the countryside felt pretty empty, and
61. 2:02once you got past Sandy Shores, there
62. 2:04wasn't much reason to keep going north.
63. 2:05[music] But now, GTA 6 is about to be
64. 2:08twice the size of GTA 5, sitting at
65. 2:10around 60 square miles, [music]
66. 2:12which is 20 times bigger than GTA 3's
67. 2:15Liberty City. But to understand why it's
68. 2:17so big, we first need to take a look at
69. 2:18all of the confirmed locations, as well
70. 2:20as one secret location that Rockstar has
71. 2:22been hiding from us that I'll mention at
72. 2:24the end of the video. Starting off with
73. 2:26Vice City. Vice City is Rockstar's
74. 2:28version of Miami, and it's where most of
75. 2:30the game is going to take place.
76. 2:31Rockstar named four parts of the city on
77. 2:33their [music] website. Ocean Beach has
78. 2:35the pastel hotels and the white sand.
79. 2:38Little Cuba is full of Cuban bakeries.
80. 2:40The Chichiwaka Flea Market is where
81. 2:42people sell knockoff brands, and the VC
82. 2:44Port is the cruise ship port, which
83. 2:46Rockstar calls the cruise ship capital
84. 2:48of the world. Ocean Beach is the part
85. 2:50you've probably seen the most in the
86. 2:51trailers. It's got the neon signs, the
87. 2:53supercars, and the beach full of
88. 2:55tourists and lifeguards. You'll even see
89. 2:57people walking through the sand with
90. 2:59metal detectors. If you get the vintage
91. 3:01Vice City pack, there's also a garage
92. 3:03called Shore Court that Rockstar says is
93. 3:05right by Ocean Beach. It supposedly
94. 3:07comes with a weapon locker and a place
95. 3:09to stash stolen stuff until you can sell
96. 3:11it to a fence. Then Little Cuba is the
97. 3:13new version of Little Havana from the
98. 3:14original Vice City, and Rockstar says
99. 3:16it's packed with Cuban bakeries and
100. 3:18Latin shops. And the VC Port is where
101. 3:20the huge cruise ships come in, which you
102. 3:22can see in the trailers. The Ocean View
103. 3:24Hotel from the original Vice City is
104. 3:26back as well. Rockstar even showed Jason
105. 3:28and Lucia standing outside of it. Then
106. 3:30you've got Stockyard, which is based on
107. 3:32Wynwood in Miami. That's the street art
108. 3:34and car meet part of town. Rockstar
109. 3:36already named two shops there. There's a
110. 3:38clothing store called Stock 305 and a
111. 3:40tattoo shop called Electric Fang. And
112. 3:42the Little Haiti part of the city is
113. 3:44called La Perle this time. And there's
114. 3:45an elevated train line running right
115. 3:47through La Perle, and you can see it in
116. 3:49the second trailer. And if you get the
117. 3:50ultimate edition, one of the bonus
118. 3:52missions has you raiding the compound of
119. 3:54the gang from south side of Vice City,
120. 3:56which is another part of town that
121. 3:57Rockstar has named. Now, downtown Vice
122. 3:59City is where all of the tall glass
123. 4:01buildings are. The basketball arena is
124. 4:03called the Sahara Arena, and the team
125. 4:05that plays there is the Vice City
126. 4:06Narcos. There's a nightclub called 919,
127. 4:09which is the club Jason and Lucia were
128. 4:11dancing in together during the second
129. 4:12trailer. And there's also a Ferris wheel
130. 4:14down by the water. The Sahara Arena is
131. 4:16based on the Kaseya Center in Miami,
132. 4:18where the Heat play. And Rockstar
133. 4:20actually paid to put a giant welcome to
134. 4:22Vice City sign on the roof of the real
135. 4:24Kaseya Center in real life to promote
136. 4:25the game. Downtown is also right by the
137. 4:27port, and that's where a lot of the
138. 4:29cargo smuggling is expected to happen.
139. 4:31Boobie Ike's businesses are in Vice
140. 4:32City, too. He runs the Jack of Hearts
141. 4:34strip club and a record label called
142. 4:36Only Raw Records with his partner Dre
143. 4:38Won Priest. His club is in Crosstown,
144. 4:40which is right in the middle of the city
145. 4:42and based on Overtown in Miami. And in
146. 4:44the second trailer, Boobie pretty much
147. 4:46laid out his entire business plan. He
148. 4:47said that the club money pays for the
149. 4:49studio, and the drug money pays for all
150. 4:51of it. And then off the coast, there are
151. 4:53rich islands with mansions and yachts.
152. 4:55One of them is called Starfish Island,
153. 4:57which is the same name it had in the
154. 4:58original Vice City. Then there's
155. 5:00Gloriana Key, which is one of the small
156. 5:01islands right next to the port. And the
157. 5:03rich islands in the real Miami are full
158. 5:05of celebrities, so expect some celebrity
159. 5:07parodies living out there, too, in game.
160. 5:09Then south of the city, there's a town
161. 5:11called Hamlet, which is based on
162. 5:12Homestead, Florida. And it's the last
163. 5:14town before the bridges down to the
164. 5:16keys. On the fan map, the Leonida
165. 5:18Penitentiary, which is the prison that
166. 5:19Lucia was locked up at, is out there,
167. 5:21too. And then the main airport for the
168. 5:23whole area is Vice City International.
169. 5:25Hamlet even showed up in the first
170. 5:27trailer. One of the social media clips
171. 5:29was a live stream from Hamlet posted by
172. 5:30an account called Lucha Libre Fan. And
173. 5:32wrestling is actually one of the
174. 5:34confirmed side activities in the game,
175. 5:35so it wouldn't surprise me if there was
176. 5:37a wrestling ring out in Hamlet. Now,
177. 5:39let's move on to the Leonida Keys. The
178. 5:41Leonida Keys are Rockstar's version of
179. 5:43the Florida Keys. It's a chain of
180. 5:44islands at the very bottom of the map,
181. 5:46south of Vice City, all connected by
182. 5:48long bridges over the ocean. This is
183. 5:50exactly where Jason's story actually
184. 5:52starts. Rockstar describes life down
185. 5:54here as simple and easy with nothing
186. 5:56fancy going on. Jason does dirty work
187. 5:58for a drug smuggler named Brian Hader,
188. 6:00and in return he gets to live in one of
189. 6:01Brian's places for free. Rockstar also
190. 6:03jokes that down here the dress code is
191. 6:05casual and the bars are always full.
192. 6:07But, the Keys have a long history of
193. 6:09drug smuggling going back to the '70s
194. 6:11and '80s, and that's the world Jason is
195. 6:13stuck in when the game starts. The main
196. 6:15island we know about is Key Lento, which
197. 6:17is based on Key Largo in real life.
198. 6:19Brian runs a business there called
199. 6:20Brian's Boat Works and Marina, and
200. 6:22that's where his smuggling operation is
201. 6:23actually based. There's also a boating
202. 6:25shop on Key Lento called the Leonida
203. 6:27Marine Center. We also see a green and
204. 6:29blue beach house on stilts over the
205. 6:30water, and that's expected to be Jason
206. 6:33and Lucia's first house that they live
207. 6:34in, which Brian gave to them. There's
208. 6:36also a bar called the Rusty Anchor,
209. 6:37which we can see here in one of
210. 6:39Rockstar's official screenshots, and it
211. 6:41hosts another confirmed side activity
212. 6:42inside, which is the ability to play
213. 6:44pool. And the water is a big deal down
214. 6:46here. Rockstar says that the water
215. 6:48around the Keys is really pretty and
216. 6:50really dangerous at the same time. The
217. 6:52Atlantic side is deep and rough, so
218. 6:54that's where you'd go for deep sea
219. 6:55fishing and shipwrecks. And then the
220. 6:57Gulf side is shallow with a lot of
221. 6:58mangroves, which makes it a good place
222. 7:00to lose the cops. You'd also be able to
223. 7:02go scuba diving and take boat tours. And
224. 7:04on the fan map, there's a naval air base
225. 7:06on one of the sides of the islands. Then
226. 7:08we have the Keys Causeway. It starts
227. 7:10down by Hamlet, and it's the only road
228. 7:12connecting the Keys to the mainland.
229. 7:13Other than Key Lento, the fan map has a
230. 7:15few more islands named like Goose Key
231. 7:17and East Key. Now, let's move on to the
232. 7:19Grass Rivers. The Grass Rivers are
233. 7:21Rockstar's version of the Everglades.
234. 7:23It's a huge swamp south and west of Vice
235. 7:25City with shallow water, mangroves, and
236. 7:28canals everywhere. And the main way
237. 7:29you're going to be getting around out
238. 7:31here is on an airboat. Rockstar
239. 7:32describes the Grass Rivers as a wild
240. 7:34part of Leonida that nobody's ever been
241. 7:36able to tame. A lot of the buildings out
242. 7:38here are up on stilts, the same way that
243. 7:40they build them in the real Everglades
244. 7:41in real life, since everything has to
245. 7:43sit above the water. And as for the
246. 7:45animals, there are alligators all over
247. 7:46the place, but Rockstar actually says
248. 7:48that there are worse animals in there
249. 7:50than the gators. Plus some weird
250. 7:51discoveries hidden in the mangroves.
251. 7:54They didn't go into any details on what
252. 7:55that actually is yet, so this could be
253. 7:57where some of the game's secrets end up.
254. 7:59Rockstar's footage from out here shows
255. 8:01armed poachers and even people
256. 8:02trafficking alligators. There's also a
257. 8:04group called Poach that patrols the
258. 8:06swamp. They're the game's version of
259. 8:08Florida's wildlife officers and their
260. 8:10whole job is chasing down poachers and
261. 8:11they even have their own pickup trucks.
262. 8:13In the second trailer, you can also see
263. 8:15a Buzzard attack chopper chasing an
264. 8:17airboat through the grass rivers. The
265. 8:19people who live out here are far away
266. 8:20from any big city and in the real
267. 8:22Everglades, there's a group of locals
268. 8:24called the Gladesmen who live off
269. 8:25hunting and trapping. So expect the
270. 8:27people in the grass rivers to be pretty
271. 8:29similar. The main settlement out here is
272. 8:31Watson Bay, which is a rough little town
273. 8:33right on the water. And if you get the
274. 8:35ultimate edition, you'll actually get a
275. 8:36garage in Watson Bay called the Paradise
276. 8:38Garage. You can keep your monster truck
277. 8:40there and it has the same weapon locker
278. 8:42and stolen stuff storage as the
279. 8:43Shoreline Court. Watson Bay also has
280. 8:45buildings sitting over the water, beat
281. 8:47up docks, fishing boats, a motel, and a
282. 8:50bar. There's also a small island nearby
283. 8:52on the fan map called Bobcat Key. And if
284. 8:54you want to fish out here, Rockstar
285. 8:56showed an airboat that's set up for
286. 8:57fishing in the swamp. Now let's talk
287. 8:59about Port Gelhorn. Port Gelhorn is on
288. 9:01the far west coast of the map in Kelly
289. 9:03County. It's based on Panama Beach City,
290. 9:05which used to be a huge spring break
291. 9:07spot. In the real game, it's an old
292. 9:09vacation town that went downhill.
293. 9:11Rockstar calls this part of the state
294. 9:12Leonidas Forgotten Coast and it's full
295. 9:14of cheap motels and closed down
296. 9:16attractions. Rockstar describes the town
297. 9:18as running on cheap booze, painkillers,
298. 9:21and truck stop energy drinks. It's got
299. 9:23the same kind of run-down feel as Sandy
300. 9:24Shores in GTA V with bikers and drug
301. 9:27dealing taking over. Rockstar's tagline
302. 9:29for this place basically tells you to
303. 9:31grab a dirt bike and watch your wallet.
304. 9:33The town has two sides and the side
305. 9:35where people live has a train running
306. 9:37through it. and a lot of the car jumps
307. 9:38and dirt bike scenes from the trailers
308. 9:40happen around here, too. This is also
309. 9:42where Jason and Lucia rob Uncle Jack's
310. 9:44Liquor at the very end of the first
311. 9:46trailer. And there's a motel in town
312. 9:47called the Starlet Motel where you can
313. 9:49see them up to no good. In the dive
314. 9:51bars, you'll be able to play pool as
315. 9:53well as darts, which are two more
316. 9:55confirmed activities. The other side is
317. 9:57an industrial area called Draper Island.
318. 9:59That's where the warehouses and the
319. 10:00docks with the big cranes are and
320. 10:02there's a giant factory out there, too.
321. 10:04The biggest thing is the Gelhorn
322. 10:06International Raceway. This would be the
323. 10:08first full-size track in a GTA game. The
324. 10:10name was in the 2022 leaks and Lucia
325. 10:13wears a Gelhorn International shirt in
326. 10:15the second trailer. Rockstar even showed
327. 10:17an actual race on this exact track in
328. 10:19the extended look with a lap counter, a
329. 10:21timer, and your position on screen. So,
330. 10:23it should work like a real circuit race.
331. 10:25There's also a drag strip that fans say
332. 10:27is based on the Gainesville Raceway in
333. 10:29Florida. And on top of that, the trailer
334. 10:31showed a motocross track and there are
335. 10:33dirt bike trails all over the map. And
336. 10:35then out in the water, way past Port
337. 10:36Gelhorn, the leaked map also shows a
338. 10:38bunch of small islands. On the fan map,
339. 10:40we can see that they're called the Crude
340. 10:41Islands and the Sand Bars. So, there's
341. 10:43more to explore off this coast than just
342. 10:45the town. Now, let's move on to
343. 10:47Ambrosia. Ambrosia is in the middle of
344. 10:49Leonida, west of Vice City, right next
345. 10:51to the edge of Lake Leonida. It's based
346. 10:53on Clewiston, Florida, which is a sugar
347. 10:55town right next to Lake Okeechobee. The
348. 10:57town's motto in the game is keeping
349. 10:59Leonida sweet. It also takes some pieces
350. 11:01from More Haven, which is another small
351. 11:03town on the same lake. The name fits,
352. 11:05too, since Ambrosia is a word that
353. 11:07people use for something really sweet.
354. 11:09The whole town depends on sugar. There
355. 11:11are sugarcane fields everywhere and
356. 11:13Rockstar even showed a field getting
357. 11:15burned before the harvest, which is
358. 11:16something farmers do in real Florida.
359. 11:18And the biggest employer here is the
360. 11:20Allied Crystal Sugar Refinery. In the
361. 11:22footage, Ambrosia's main street has
362. 11:24regular small-town stuff like a Cuban
363. 11:26food spot called W. Blanco's, a kids
364. 11:28dentist, and a car wash where women in
365. 11:30bikinis are washing a guy's muscle car.
366. 11:32The town has its own police, too, the
367. 11:34Ambrosia Police Department. Rockstar's
368. 11:36description says the refinery gives
369. 11:38people their jobs and the local biker
370. 11:39gang handles almost everything else.
371. 11:41That gang is called the Final Chapter MC
372. 11:44and the patches on their vests say that
373. 11:45they started in 1982. Rockstar also
374. 11:48showed Jason getting chased by them at a
375. 11:50biker bar called the Thirsty Wolf. Fans
376. 11:52think that the bikers handle the dirty
377. 11:53work the sugar company can't be seen
378. 11:55doing. So, the town has two sides to it.
379. 11:57The sugar company runs things out in the
380. 11:59open and handle everything under the
381. 12:01table. There's an election going on in
382. 12:03town, too. You'll see yard signs for a
383. 12:05mayor candidate named Aaron Henshaw, so
384. 12:07the sugar company is backing him.
385. 12:09Ambrosia is also the off-road part of
386. 12:10the map and we first seen them in the
387. 12:12muddy truck party from the first
388. 12:14trailer. And Rockstar named a mod shop
389. 12:16by Lake Leonida called One-Eyed Willie's
390. 12:18that does off-road upgrades. Lake
391. 12:20Leonida itself is the giant lake next to
392. 12:23town and it's based on Lake Okeechobee,
393. 12:25so it should be a good spot for fishing.
394. 12:27Now, let's move on to Mount Caliga.
395. 12:29Caliga National Park is at the very top
396. 12:32of the map right up against Leonida's
397. 12:33northern border in Lumax County. It's
398. 12:35based on North Florida and Georgia and
399. 12:37the canyon in the park looks a lot like
400. 12:39the Providence Canyon in Georgia. The
401. 12:41name Caliga comes from a Cherokee word
402. 12:43that means east or sunrise. On the fan
403. 12:45map, a highway wraps around the National
404. 12:47Park and it pretty much works as the
405. 12:49line between Leonida and the next state
406. 12:51over. And then the state on the other
407. 12:53side of that border is called Gloriana,
408. 12:55which is the game's version of Georgia.
409. 12:57You can see Gloriana license plates in
410. 12:58the second trailer, but we know, you
411. 13:00won't actually be able to go there, at
412. 13:02least not yet. Rockstar says the park
413. 13:03has some of the best hunting, fishing,
414. 13:05and off-road trails in the state.
415. 13:07There's forests, canyons, and the rivers
416. 13:10are good for kayaking. And you'll even
417. 13:11be able to ride ATVs and dirt bikes on
418. 13:13the trails. Hunting is going to be a
419. 13:15real way to make money in this game, as
420. 13:17well, and Mount Caliga is the obvious
421. 13:19place to do it. Fishing is in, too, so
422. 13:21between the rivers up here and Lake
423. 13:23Leonida down in Ambrosia, there There be
424. 13:25plenty of spots to drop a line. The
425. 13:27animals up here include deer and foxes
426. 13:29and there are cougars, too. From what's
427. 13:31been shown, the animals here act a lot
428. 13:33like they would in real life with stuff
429. 13:34like a cougar stalking a herd of deer in
430. 13:36one of the screenshots. As for the
431. 13:38people up here, they're a little out
432. 13:40there. Rockstar says the woods are full
433. 13:42of hillbillies with weird beliefs and
434. 13:44anti-government types who just want to
435. 13:45be left alone. Now, before we talk about
436. 13:47the secret part of the map that Rockstar
437. 13:49has been hiding from us, we first need
438. 13:50to talk about a couple of honorable
439. 13:52mentions like the water, airstrips, and
440. 13:54the mini-map. First, there's a lot of
441. 13:56water on this map. Rivers, lakes, and
442. 13:58canals run all over Leonida. So, you'll
443. 14:00be able to take a kayak or a small boat
444. 14:02pretty far inland. When the map leaked
445. 14:04back in August, one of the first things
446. 14:06people noticed was how much water there
447. 14:07is even in the middle of the state. You
448. 14:09can dive in the ocean, too, and there
449. 14:11are shipwrecks and hidden stuff to find
450. 14:13down there. Going underwater also works
451. 14:15for hiding from the cops, but how well
452. 14:17hidden you are depends on how deep and
453. 14:19how clear the water actually is. There's
454. 14:21also small airstrips all over the map.
455. 14:23Since Florida was the center of drug
456. 14:25smuggling back in the '80s, a lot of
457. 14:27these airstrips are probably going to be
458. 14:28used for smuggling runs. And just a
459. 14:30quick side note about the map on your
460. 14:32screen, you'll get to pick between a
461. 14:33classic mini-map that's always on or a
462. 14:35small compass instead. And you can even
463. 14:37turn the mini-map off completely. And
464. 14:39cops won't show up as dots on the
465. 14:40mini-map anymore, either. You'll have to
466. 14:42actually watch the edge of your screen
467. 14:44for a warning or use focus mode to spot
468. 14:46them through walls. All right, now on to
469. 14:48the secret part that Rockstar has been
470. 14:49hiding from us. There's a city on the
471. 14:51map that Rockstar still hasn't shown and
472. 14:53it's called Capri. It's in the southwest
473. 14:55part of the map, south of Port Gelhorn
474. 14:57in Mariana County. Its name first showed
475. 14:59up on a highway sign in Rockstar's
476. 15:01extended look video. Then, in the August
477. 15:04leaks, fans got a better look at it with
478. 15:05Jason robbing two gas stations on the
479. 15:07edge of town. In the leaked footage, the
480. 15:09highway signs coming into Capri point to
481. 15:11two parts of the city, the city center
482. 15:13and the waterfront. And Capri actually
483. 15:15has its own completely separate police
484. 15:17department. Capri is based on three real
485. 15:19Florida cities. The beach and the pier
486. 15:22come from Naples and so does the name,
487. 15:24since Capri is an island near Naples in
488. 15:26Italy. The roundabout in the middle of
489. 15:27town and the stadium come from Sebring.
490. 15:30And some of the tall buildings in the
491. 15:31lake come from Lakeland. The city even
492. 15:33has its own sports team called the Capri
493. 15:35City Jackals. It also has a park in the
494. 15:37middle of town, a pier on the west side,
495. 15:40and a big lake on the northeast side
496. 15:41right next to a train line. It might
497. 15:43have also been in the first trailer,
498. 15:45too, since in this shot of a green
499. 15:47pickup truck speeding down the road, the
500. 15:49buildings in the background match the
501. 15:50ones in the leak. So, along with Vice
502. 15:52City, Port Gellhorn, and Ambrosia,
503. 15:54there's a fourth big town on this map
504. 15:55that we've barely seen. And that's
505. 15:57basically everything we know about the
506. 15:58map right now. Let me know in the
507. 16:00comments which part of Leonida you're
508. 16:01going to check out first. I honestly
509. 16:03think I'm going to go straight up to
510. 16:04Mount Chiliad and just do some fishing
511. 16:05and just check out all the wacky
512. 16:07conspiracy theories up there. And if you
513. 16:08want more GTA 6 videos before it comes
514. 16:10out, make sure that you're subscribed.
515. 16:12My name's Gloobie. Thank you for
516. 16:13watching.
