Yeah sounds about right for modern gaming. I need a new hobby.
1) It's way too large for there to be another one of the same scale
2) the odds of there being zero mention of another city in the massive leak from last year if there was one is pretty much slim to none
Rdr2 was fricking huge. no way is R* going to cheap out with all the money they made from GTAO, especially when the map is going to end up being the playground for online
There not being 2 cities isn't cheapening out though given how huge the one city is. But set your expectations, it makes no sense for the 2nd city not being mentioned once in the leak.
Rdr2 wasn't that big. Much larger world than rdr. But when you spend time on it enough it's not that big. Not a place I want to walk I. Always horse ride. If you were to drive a car around it would feel
even smaller
I'm going schizo. OP pic 100% said "Florida", and some of the first posts were about R* not renaming it, then I saw and all of a sudden it was renamed.
googled it stole this from leddit > It is called Leonida after the Spaniard who discovered Florida.
The explanation is very simple: it is named after Juan Ponce de León y Figueroa, the explorer of the Crown of Castile who first set foot in the Florida peninsula, on April 2, 1513, and gave it that name. This navigator was born in a town in the Kingdom of León, now part of the province of Valladolid, descended from King Alfonso IX of León and of Galician blood on his mother's side, claimed these lands for the Crown of Castile on April 8 of that same year, and he named them Florida. The name chosen is not because there were flowers, or was "flowery", but because that day was Easter Sunday, Pascua Florida (flowery festival).
Rockstar North have decided to name the state of Grand Theft Auto VI after this illustrious Spaniard, in the same way that the city of Miami itself is called Vice City because of the series Miami Vice.
I really hope there's rivers running properly through the map, because boats are so underutilised in GTA and it would be neat to be able to traverse the state via boats
I thought I would love the mountains in V before the game came out, but in the end I didn't really care. I mean driving down Mount Chiliad is kinda fun but I don't think I'm gonna miss the mountains as much as I think I will
>Still going to be a completely disconnected island >Still going to have songs that directly reference Florida and Miami
GTA lore is so fricking stupid
there's only been a single 3D GTA out of ten entires that has taken place in more than a single city, so why is this a surprise
because when you set your game in an entire state, there's an expectation of more than 1 city.

sorry to be um ackshually but technically GTA IV isn't just one city. Alderney even has a different vibe than Liberty City
>different vibe
>can't even model different cop vehicles for them

There will be a Mexican bit
more like going back to Cayo Perico or an adjacent island equivalent in size
Florida bros, we made it. People are talking about us. Get your best neon shirt and make some social media posts!
You will see the typical behaviors of your kinds again in the game. Is it tiresome?
What a shit name.
Why make up a state? GTA:VC took place in Florida.
For consistency I guess, Los Santos is in San Andreas and Liberty City is in Liberty state
The real reason is that you can't copyright the name Florida, but Leonida is rockstar's alone.

>Leonida
Is this a minority thing I am too White to understand

can't wait for the exaggerated accents pronouncing those spanish words just to show that they're really latinxs you guys
A 2nd smaller city in the west is confirmed (Port Gellhorn)
>Port Gellhorn
>Port
It's a port, not a city.
it's just a name homie
like port charlotte
nah its a port, dog
I really hope there's rivers running properly through the map, because boats are so underutilised in GTA and it would be neat to be able to traverse the state via boats
north port, florida
look it up
oh boy, a totally flat landscape, most of which is water
yawn
You want another waste of space mountain like gtav?
I thought I would love the mountains in V before the game came out, but in the end I didn't really care. I mean driving down Mount Chiliad is kinda fun but I don't think I'm gonna miss the mountains as much as I think I will
the flat landscape will be fine, I think.
You're such a homosexual.
>I don't think I'm gonna miss the mountains as much as I think I will
At launch yes but online will be supported for 10 years at least
I don't give a single frick about GTA:O, I just want the single player which I doubt they will ever update the map for
Yes, that one is set in a state and has 3 cities. Hence the expectation of more than 1 city.
Count of cities: 3
Count of half-assed cities: 3
how were they half assed? they were pretty mindblowing back in 2004
Yeah, San Fierro especially. Someone remind me, what did you do in that one?
killed a man taking a shit for cat calling your sister
Destroyed the Drug Syndicate flooding LS with crack and made friends with the glowie that would eventually get Sweet out of prison.
Awful name, how the hell are you even supposed to pronounce it? Leo'nyda? Leo'needa? Le'onida like Florida?
The Spanish way like Florida
seems like some homosexual fantasy name
HEY
FRICKING moronS
PORT G IS PANANA CITY
STOP MAKING BORING AND moronic THREADS
So was calling it "Vice City" too racy?
There's probably going to be a piece of dialogue or a quest that's going to explain why the city went from "Vice City" to "Leonida".
It's still Vice City
Vice City is in the state of Leonida. GTA VI is the whole state, not just the city.
Lmao get ready for egg-map 2.0
egg map > sicilian pizza map
Let me guess, you need more?
I'd take 2 medium sized city over 1 big one, tbh.
One city and 2 or 3 smaller ones + countryside according to the leaks and trailer analysis
Will we finally have a GTA map that's actually connected to the mainland United States? Every GTA game taking place on islands in the ocean is weird
Not unless you want them to remove helicopters and planes
Jacksonville dlc when
we've already seen the map
no we haven't
pipe down homie
Don't you know anon it's cool to larp as uninformed morons on Ganker
European here, wasn't vice city on florida?
>driving in a circle again
great
why do the cities and states have their names changed while all the countries stay the same?
>YOU ARE WRONG, LEONIDA! YOU ARE WRONG!
Wasn’t there a leak that said there will be three big cities and several smaller ones?
>Still going to be a completely disconnected island
>Still going to have songs that directly reference Florida and Miami
GTA lore is so fricking stupid
So what? Bigger doesn't mean better. I'd rather have one well designed city than a huge, empty map.
Damn, have you played the game already?
>Leonida
>can't use real names anymore because of muh lawsuits
God I hate this shit.
When did Rockstar use real names for locations, not counting pre-3d area games?
IV mentioned canada and other countries numerous times.
Again did you get to play in those named places or was it used as a joke toward Canadians
3 referenced Miami in a billboard by the airport.
Why are whiteoids so fragile?
Haha what do you mean!!!??
I'm not sure I understand what a black person is haha
>Leonida
what the frick is this? Dark Souls? lmao
It's Vice City again, right? GTA: Vice City already established that Vice City is in Florida, what's the point of renaming the State?
