Mapping Vice City / Map Discussion Thread (NO LEAK FOOTAGE ALLOWED)

[TimTri]

Sad to hear about the removal of the previous mapping thread, but it’s obviously understandable due to potential legal risks. 

Has anyone found more info on the racetrack that appeared in the satellite-like overview of the rural area in one of the videos?

[BigBoyBertram]

I have a lot of faith in this map, so long as it hasn't been scrapped or anything like that. Vice City, from the airport and a lot of the architecture, looks very expansive. Moreover, the Keys are in the game which was huge for me personally, as it will add its own unique flavor and style to the map. Port Gellhorn, or perhaps just Gellhorn, does seem as though it will be a legitimate second city. Maybe not airport big, but big enough to be a nice addition. Besides, I am sure there will be lots of smaller towns scattered about the map. As well as this, we also likely have the everglades or some form of swamp/marsh land due to the air boat. All in all, this map looks pretty big and distinct from every other GTA map we have had. We haven't even seen anywhere close to the full map. I am sure there could be some other islands separate form the main way. Hell, wasn't there also some talk of border security personnel, maybe implying a reachable foreign territory? I'm looking forward to learning more.

Not to my knowledge. Still speculating that is the Gellhorn one. But if I recall correctly it had a strange curve. Now as far as I know every single NASCAR track is an oval so that strange curve makes no sense. But it's interesting, I think this is the first time we are getting an open air race track.

I swear I saw VCPD on the back of the Gellhorn police car.

Last question Are we allowed to upload drawings of the map ? Like on a piece of paper ? No copyright material 

[Officer Friendly]

Going back to Vice City was such a safe and disappointing decision. I've resigned to the fact we're never going to get a non American main line GTA game because it wouldn't appeal to Americans.

 

With that said New Orleans would have been much more interesting location.

I think there is going to be a second city. Its still early. I just wonder if we are gonna get another country(South America? Caribbean?) like the Americas rumors claimed.

Given how there's stuff from the Georgia Area, this is a stretch but maybe Atlanta.

I had asked this but my post vanished

(It had no leaked content, in fact, all screenshots from any footage that I uploaded and posted on the old thread, before the notice, have now been removed by me from imgur)

So we should be good as long as it’s not using copyrighted screenshots. Just draw it ! Awesome ! 
 

can’t we print the screenshots and place a piece of paper over it and draw the outline of the minimap?

Not all NASCAR tracks are oval. In fact, Daytona has three bends. Also, many racetracks have multiply racetracks within its main, large circuit for variations. However, I didn’t see any complete NASCAR track in the map either.

there seems to be a place called crosstown?

 

" Gang Directions Crosstown" Same exact script of little Haiti i just found 

 

Also Ambrosia Farms is a place

 

Edit: there's a motel in PG called La Cascara.

 

its  part of a seagulls script that seem to be a collectable

Yes, "Crosstown" is mentioned in the clip with the red pickup on the highway, shortly before it has an accident entering "Stockyard".

So I figured we could try to estimate the size of GTA 6's map by using the coordinates we know. I have searched the videos and the 'furthest' coordinate I found was "-7191". But I have seen also positive values. Allow me to assume a bit and make my guess. If there is a -7191 I assume there will be also a +7191. The world won't be a perfect rectangle of course, but the coordinates will propably work on a rectangle grid.

 

So as far as I can find and assume we could see a map of 14.382 x 14.382 units if we assume that the 0x0 coordinate will be the center of the map. I took a good look at the coordinates when the character was moving and it seems that 1 unit in coordinates estimates about 1 meter. IF the 0.0 coordinate would be in the middle of the map this could mean that the total surface could be around 206,8 square kilometers or 79.9 square miles. From what I find online GTA V has a size of around 80 square miles or 31 square kilometers. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

 

But this would mean that GTA 6 MAY BE about 2,5 times as big as GTA V.

Could we maybe see Cape Canaveral in the game? As the new 'Fort Zancudo'? It is quite far from Miami IRL unfortunately, they would have to bend reality a bit & it would have to be on the outer extremities of the map, but would still be so cool to see it in the game, complete with rocket launches, etc.

There is a massive list of in-game events, and one of them is labeled SERA space launch. All but confirms we'll see a cape canaveral.

I used the coordinates to plot the location and direction that the in-game camera is facing during each leaked video.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who is working away trying to piece together the map.

That's really cool and well done. Nice work. Is there any relevance to the colours of each blip? Is there a thread or somewhere where we can see people piecing together a map?

This pole with a lamp to illuminate the coastal paths near the Art Deco Welcome Center was copied into the future game in great detail.

Hey!

 

Jumping into the trend, after recent GTA VI leaks. What do you imagine map looking like? If it will be large or even smaller than the map of GTA V, and how it will impact "older" PCs? Lowkey I want the map to resemble the GTA San Andreas map structure, where the "countries" would be somewhat closer to the main "land" where we start but also would be obscured by fog to give you the feeling of a "never ending map". How do you see it?

 

 

From the old mapping thread it looks like the just the city might be the size of the entire GTAV map.

I hope you're right. I haven't been following this so I don't know myself but if the city alone is the size of the GTA V map then I'll be very impressed. I'd hope there'd still be some countryside though as I loved pissing about in the country in GTA V and I wish there was some countryside in GTA IV too. Having both in great expanse would be ace.

Well we have an airboat and that really doesn't make sense to use one in the city. So I am very confident about a countryside.

There's a location mentioned called Ambrosia Tarmac. Maybe that's Daytona Speedway and Ambrosia is Daytona?
