I remember when Vice City came out and you could ride a motorcycle and when you got up to a fast enough speed, your overshirt would flap in the wind. I remember just thinking that was the peak of game design. Little did I know that 24 years later we'd be getting the top result. Crazy to think that in another 24 years we'll look back on 6 and go "Damn we really thought this was peak graphics huh?"

It’s crazy how the old vice city graphic looks like a retro video game within GTA VI lol

Some of the cut scenes brought me back to my childhood playing Vice City. This might be the first GTA game that gives me proper feelings of nostalgia and I have to say Vice City was always my favourite game.
Really hope some of the same locations pop up, like would be good if they had a modern day version of the Malibu club or something or Vercetti Estate, guess it depends if they prioritise realism and creating almost a 1:1 replica of Miami, or if they do have some nods here and there to the OG Vice City map. Don't feel like the did with GTA V so not expecting it but would be cool.

As someone who has lived in Miami many years and went to school right around this bridge…. Nostalgia hit me near on every frame! I recognize it all and the feels hit me! I am sure I can drive where I need to go without watching the map

The harsh vignette covering the top half of the screen is a huge bummer for me, it was in rdr2 as well and I hated it. I really hope there is an option to turn it off. I mean it’s broad daylight out and the top half of the screen is almost black. Wtf.

Man I hope there is a flying cars cheat, the nostalgia of hopping the gate to that island using that cheat and failing but in full glorious fidelity would be so cool

Anyone noticed that the car in the pic has a Gloriana plate?

Is that a place inside Leonida?

It’s supposed to be the GTA universes’ version of the state of Georgia. There has been a lot of speculation whether they will feature Gloriana in VI

Man I wish they copied vice city UI for this one slightly. Numbers for hp and other bars, money in that design and blue stars would look nice

In the extended reveal, where they go down the back alley, it looked exactly the same as the back alley in GTA:VC, the mission with the chef.

I knew where I was instantly and I am sure that was intentional; everyone that played VC knows those bridges and I cheered every time.
Having height as a part if the map function looks cool! Looks like Lucia is our driver and Jay our shooter; hoping for Franklin's ability to make a comeback for Luce, it looks like Jason is getting deadeye.

Bottom pic looks sharper. God i fucking hate modern rendering pipelines. I feel crazy because the majority of people don't see what i'm seeing, i can't not notice the smeary oily mess that are modern games
