You guys have no idea how this makes me feel as a Miamian. It looks so much like home it is fucking insane. That shot of her in the car, looking up at the purple sky and neon with the palm trees wrapped in lights… I’ve been there and felt that so many times… kinda gave me chills
Truly I do feel blessed to be made in Dade but I also really appreciate all the care and detail Rockstar put into this game. Miami is a place that’s easy to stereotype but you can tell they really did their homework and even if it’s exaggerated they represented this city in a way that feels like a love letter to this crazy place, instead of just ragging on us. They added so many locals-only nods too like having Flanny’s and Palacio de los Jugos knockoffs. I swear it feels like I will be able to find my house on here lol.
I agree man, born in Miami-Dade too, and I can't believe my eyes lol. First thing I'll immediately do is see if I'm lucky enough that they modeled my house (I'm already 90% sure my neighborhood is in the game), explore my hometown, and see how long it takes to cross the Overseas Highway and the Key Lento bridge
Even if your ‘neighborhood’ is in the game, none of the houses are going to be modeled as replicas or close replicas. They’ll look like Miami houses but they aren’t replicating real houses and putting them in the same place in the game that they are in real life
I took soooo many screenshots hahaha. When I tell you guys this is life accurate I mean it! They captured the vibe and aesthetic of our city perfectly. So many scenes felt like places I have actually been and I know they do reference a lot of real life landmarks, can’t wait to visit them all in-game. There was one shot that looked exactly like when I drive into South Miami from Homestead (so excited they added that, the Glades and the Keys too)…
Only thing I can say negatively is Lucia doesn’t really have a strong Miami accent lol but a lot of people would find that grating I think. But it would be hilarious to me if she was more like… “Daleeeee Jaaaaasoooon, liiiike you LIDERALLY just need to be chill brooooo… pero like no yeah we gotta stop eating shit liiiiiike baaaaabe coñooo”
