tnz 6 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Of course Vice City is Miami. You used to have a very popular tv series called Miami Vice, which plays approximately in the same decade as VC. So Vice City won't be in GTA5, unless they have this time created the entire USA on the map, which would be nice for GTA XII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 If there was any island off of Los Santos, maybe it could be a take on Santa Catalina Island, with a possible drug related plot and a mansion safe house you can acquire... I'd like that anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marney1 Report post Posted December 3, 2011 Anyone fancy doing some detective work to see if this map (I think it's a map) matches up to any real maps of Los Angeles? If it does we might have an idea of the scale. Was hoping it would match up with Lake Mead. Can't remember if it's already been discussed so I'll just leave this here: Also, here's a good cartoon-like map of L.A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted December 3, 2011 Considering it appears to be a jewelry store and there's another poster towards the right that possibly shows diamonds, I'm thinking it's another diamond poster. link because IPB is gay with images now.

gmt 60 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 I'm with TreeFitty here. Why putting a full scale map-ish something on the wall of a jewelry store? also the color scheme matches the one of the clearly visible diamond poster on the right, so it suggests to advertise the same trademark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 I think it is a map. You can see a compass on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 I don't see a compass. I see a poster about diamonds. The gold/brown logo on the poster can be seen on the doors being kicked in. Also, you can see catenaries in this scene (for the light rail train): So that's two light rail lines crossing each other (the second is above going along the expressway). update: Another angle from the red car fleeing the cops shows where the rail line goes down underground from the previous area: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wickedsick 3 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Just wait for the next trailers. I think there will be more cities, not only Los Santos. Three Cities - Three Trailers. First one was Los Santos for the main city in the game, then in the second trailer there will be San Fierro and in the third one Las Venturas. Rockstar want us to be nosey.. By the way: the interstate 5 also leads to san francisco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 I'm pretty sure both of these are from the Palos Verdes Peninsula of Southwest LA: I found similar cliffhouse arrangements to the first one but the second is more of a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayge 689 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 In the second picture you can see faint mountains in the background if it's by a cliff like the first one, that means there must be a bay or something like that there? Don't listen to me, I have no idea what I mean. Maybe someone else could perceive and analyse what that mountainous background could mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Guess I'll make a map... The light blue shows the same building in the background. The black guy running pic can be found here but it's easier to see in the trailer for both scenes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayge 689 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Cool, if that's how it is, the map already looks quite big (despite the fact that it will obviously be scaled down slightly from the real LA) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmt 60 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 the cliffhouses could aswell be in the hollywood (and adjecent) hills, theres quite some of these type located there aswell. Hard to tell as there's a lack of reference in this shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marney1 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Here's that cartoon 3D map of L.A. I think it helps give some more perspective on the area like where the mountain ranges are etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to tell as there's a lack of reference in this shot That's the first area I looked around. It appears that there is water below on the right of the scene because it looks bright (sun reflecting in the water I'm assuming). Again, I found similar houses overlooking sharp cliffs in the Palos Verdes Peninsula area which is pointing me there instead. There's like 1 lake outside of Beverly/Bel Air and the cliffhouses are not as similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's like 1 lake outside of Beverly/Bel Air and the cliffhouses are not as similar. I see your point now... didn't even see the reflective something until you mentioned it. That gives your idea of Palos Verdes more substance. The big water bodies in the hills surely don't match up to this setup. Might still be a creek or something like that, but we'll see. I wouldn't mind if you're right tho, that would add some more authenticity (is that even a word?) to the city. Still cracks me up that Palos Verdes in LS of San Andreas is a park hill with the observatory at least they got that right this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
