Recommended Posts

Apoligizing ahead of time if theres a thread on this, too lazy and stoned to search for it

 

So when gta v was still being rumored in 2011, I heard that R* did a ton of research of north\south california for the game. My question is do you think youll be able to see almost everything that exost om those areas in reality in the game. Like will I actually be able to drive through a fictionalized version of my neighborhood, cause that would be awesome. what do you guys think?

Unfortunately, a detailed recreation of LA and Greater Los Santos would be impossible on today's outdated hardware. Also, bear in mind that we're not in LA -- we're in Los Santos. This is a fictionalized version of LA, created by Rockstar.

The name means nothing. Los Santos is a Los Angeles inspired city, it's not an exact recreation. I can guarantee that as you drive through LS this September, you'll pull over to the side of the road and think to yourself "Hmm...this feels like home." But you won't see your house, I can tell you that.

Well of course I wont see my exact house, but like a recreated fictionalized version would be sweet. And yea its probably the weed, OG SKYWALKER. But it has been said that since we use only 10 percent of our brain, if we somehow unlocked an extra percent of it would open many possibilites

Sweet as it would be, it won't happen. And you are high as hell right now, going on about the functions of the brain. lol.gif

Maybe it will maybe it wont, but it would be sweet if I could just feel like im on my own street in the game. And yes I am super baked, I smoked three joints back to back to back and I was watching something on the human brain that was trippin me out

This September, you should play through V straight then go back and do it again completely fried. See which playthrough you like better. icon14.gif Oh, yeah. The topic. Uh, the detail will be incredible.

They do the research to "catch the vibe" of the region. Architecture, nature, animals, people and their behaviour and clothes, and yes, LS is based upon LA so we will see some buildings and streets that look close to the original.

But they won't add any detail they have seen when doing their research. That's impossible and not even necessary.

It will be detailed bu GTA style R* rendition of New York was almost a copy-paste

Hardly a copy-paste. The majority of the major landmarks were there, but that was a tiny fraction of the real NYC.
