Born and raised in Miami. The map is pretty well done. I actually drive through part of the area they took from Miami into Vice City every week. They really did their research on Miami, especially the ocean drive area, which is a parody of South Beach (where Tommy’s hotel is). To answer your question, sometimes the water gets a little bit blue like in the game but not very often. It’s usually very dark. Also, there actually does exist a little Haiti (which I went to school in) and a little Havana. No, the Cubans and Haitians aren’t always shooting at each other all day.The locations are a bit off, but they do exist. Basically The Vice City map is a VERY small area of Miami and if GTA VI comes out in Vice City, I hope they use a lot more of the city. Starfish Island where Tommy’s mansion is, is based off Star Island, where many rich people live as well with some very nice houses in the millions.

Vice City is a parody and exaggeration of the memorable elements of Miami in an ultra compact map. In reality, I think Vice City could be built in a 1:1 scale replica and it would work as a big "Theme park resort" with the theme being "Miami"

@CopiousDoinksLLC2 жыл бұрын
The thing I liked about Diaz is that he's basically the exact opposite of Tommy Vercetti. When Tommy is patient, Diaz is hot-headed and impulsive. When Diaz is controlling and domineering, Tommy is restrained and permissive. Even visually, they look like contradicting forces - Diaz is a decrepit, greasy slimebag who wears a bright red Hawaiian shirt with symmetrical white flowers on it and beige khakis, while Tommy is a lean, well-kept 'businessman' who wears a light blue Hawaiian shirt with dark blue flowers in a random pattern and dark jeans. It's a great little piece of visual storytelling that lets you know exactly what the relationship is between the two - Diaz is the older scuffed model who is about to be replaced by the younger, more efficient Tommy.

In reference to your question on 15:38, Vice City was more Miami Beach, Star Island, and Downtown Miami. Lots of people mistake it for the entire county, when in reality, Miami-Dade County is much much bigger. It's basically where all the tourist traps are and very watered down, since downtown Miami has I95 that cuts right through. Overall, yes the water is that clear, for the most part. The Miami River and near the port of Miami not so much. Driv3r had a way better layout of Miami than GTA VC. Early beta maps of VC was supposed to include the Florida Keys, and calling it Gator Keys. If you ever need advice or tips about Miami, shoot me a message, and I'll can tell you much more.

Broo u gotta make a lore video about the Diaz Deal.... It seems like most people misunderstand who actually was behind the ambush at the beginning. DIAZ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AMBUSH. If anything he was also being robbed and is used as a red herring throughout the game Sonny himself was the one who orchestrated the ambush. Using the "Mr.Black" Hitman Service. - Mr. Black Specifically Addresses the Targets as "Out of Towner's" when speaking to his underling "Leo Teal" (Tommy V.) Meaning Tommy was the Target not Vic - 6 Hours after the Coke Deal is Ambushed, Sonny can be seen with the same Coke on his table back in Liberty. (Sidenote: most of the hitman jobs have specific criteria like this). This must be the same Coke from the deal due to the intro establishing this deal as the Forelli's first Romp in the Drug Business. - The Leader of the Sharks Gang Calls Leo (Tommy) talking about selling "Diaz Merchandise', later we find out that the Sharks Gang are actually Robbing Diaz As well. Not to mention Diaz seems to have no clue of the Mafias involvement or the Deal being shot up, as he acts nonchalant and cracks jokes about it. He also has little to no concern for Lance who he knows is Vic's Brother. Diaz also seems to feel betrayed in his death scene when confronted by Tommy and Lance.
@elburrorollerz77413 жыл бұрын
People usually support the idea of Diaz being the culprit with the fact that both Lance & Cortez blame him for the Ambush, however, Lance is shown to be wrong at every turn, and Cortez isn't necessarily reliable either as most of his missions are Tommy doing him favors disguised as clues about the ambush. (Even the death of Gonzalez was just Cortez tightening his own team.) - Diaz' "Barbarians at the Gate" quote can really be referencing anyone in VC, as Diaz is most likely referring to the Costa Rican "Sharks" Gang, as Most of Diaz' Missions are Tommy Stopping the Sharks from robbing Diaz one way or another.
@themarcinfromgtagames94313 жыл бұрын
You have very valid points! I am glad that some people notice that this drug deal in Viceport has nothing to do with Diaz really. Actually, I am not really sure whether the guy calling Leo about Diaz's merchandise is Sharks Leader. I used to think that it's one of other hitmen i.e. Eugene or Moweesha or a Cuban since we know that Leo Teal was also working with Cubans and few missions later Diaz Gang is making a deal with Cubans. What do you think about it?
@elburrorollerz77413 жыл бұрын
@@themarcinfromgtagames9431 ,1. Those are good assumptions but the guy who called Leo is the same guy who Tommy & Lance are sent to kill for Diaz. In the game files he is called Sharks Gang Leader, Nothing else is known other than he has a hard on for Diaz ~ As his gang are a constant nuisance to Diaz even after his death. 2. I think it's actually pretty plausible that the Leo Teal was former Cuban Gangster before taking jobs for Mr.Black, or at the very least did business with them, remember, Leo was pretty much known all over town, probably for good reason. as for Diaz and the Cubans, Diaz was the Kingpin of the city so he probably had dealings with most of the Gangs. When the Haitians Ambush the Deal, Diaz assumes the Haitians are after him, when the ambush was most likely revenge for when Tommy (Disguised as a Cuban) Shot up the Haitian Gang Lords Funeral.

I definitely think GTA VI should take place in Vice City. Liberty City and San Andreas both got the HD treatment, I think Vice City deserves it too. Although I'd like to see the map be a bit bigger and include some surrounding areas outside of Miami. TBH I don't really know about the area but, I just want a bigger map to play around in. That way it would feel more justified having jets and planes. IDK when it should take place but, probably the present. It'd be cool to see if an older Tommy is still running the town or if he kind of stepped back and retired; maybe he'd train the protagonist to take over for him or something.
