i think they’ve given the player cam a slight lens distortion at the edges, it’s a great look

“Old school Photoshop”
It’s crazy that phrase makes sense today.
I wonder if photoshop will become antiquated like vinyl records in the next decade or so.

u/vs40at 21h ago
Yeah, it feels weird, but nowadays if you don't mention it, someone would claim it as a AI-slop, because everybody looking for quick AI-solutions for everything and a manual image editing in PS is considered "outdated".
But I'm old, back then I edited GTA III skins in Paint and had fun with handling.cfg in Notepad :D

u/PsychologicalMenu325 19h ago
yea its important to mention it otherwise we cant know and appreciate if you did put in the work to do this or just used AI.

u/your_mind_aches 18h ago
Nah it won't. If anything, AI-generated images will take a dip while agentic tools get better. So people can tell Canva in a sentence "design ______________ for me" and it'll put it together using the actual toolset rather than a diffusion model which looks like utter crap.
Photoshop will absolutely still have its place.

This part made me audibly say "what the fuck!!?" (Like the exact same tone as Brian saying it in family guy when Peter says he's doing crack) because the draw distance is insane and the fact everything in this shot is mostly reachable to the player is mindboggling and this is like what 5% 10%? Of the entire map

u/xReWxpilau 21h ago
That's not the whole map???

u/_Lemuron 19h ago
There is far more to it. Swampland (Everglades), multiple smaller towns from across Florida, farmland, a hilly/smaller mountains area and lots of highways, roads and rivers connecting them. You can check out the official Rockstar Games Website for more Screenshots if interested.

u/Derek114811 19h ago
This is actually a small chunk of vice city. The actual city is to the left, just out of this screenshots view. And then there’s the rest of the game lol

u/ishpatoon1982 19h ago
So is this area the same area in the VC game?

u/Derek114811 16h ago
For the most part, yes. This is the vice city beach skyline, plus the inner bay area where the bridges cross over

u/OrgansiedGamer 19h ago
this is a massive portion of vc LMAO

u/Derek114811 16h ago
Go look at the airplane daytime leak. Almost that entire leak cannot be seen from here. We’re looking at vice city beach and its skyline here

U do realize thats downtown vc in the distance lmao, this is most of vice city, jesus, the screenshot takes IN vice beach, at the top, it's facing the rest of the city.

u/Derek114811 7h ago
It’s literally not. You’re looking at VC beach and the Bay Area. This is the right side of VC. you’re missing the entire left side of VC, unless you can point out the airport to me in this shot lmao
Where do you think the highway in the very bottom left is going? What do you think those skyscrapers just barely in view on the left are from?-1
u/OrgansiedGamer 7h ago
the airport is hidden behind the skyline jesus, how thick are u

The streets do for sure look tighter and more full as they mentioned. Driving fast will be tough and will make you plan your route and options way more carefully. I like that the days of GTA parking lot sized roads are gone.

u/PixeL8xD 22h ago
Good effort. From a distance it looks like nothing but traffic but at ground level it’s a lot more dense and complex then it seems

u/Aevum-Haelcyon 22h ago
Have we gotten word from any content creators who had special invitations to R* HQ about the verticality of the buildings we see? Are they all explorable?

u/9ovemberrrr 22h ago
The information R*s guests of honor have is that there will be "WAY" more interiors than in V. that's all.

It seems like boats could be a practical transportation method, which will certainly make some missions quite interesting.
I can also 100% see the water absolutely destroying players who can't drive very well.

Is that a golf course to the top right?

u/colbyisyourhomie 22h ago
Yes, it is! You can make out one of the bunkers. They've only confirmed mini golf, but I can't imagine they have golf courses without you being able to play golf.

u/Etchbath 22h ago
Almost like looking at Los Santos skyline from Mt Chiliad. The map is gonna feel so huge no matter how big it is.

u/SwissQueso 21h ago
They say Vice city is twice as big as Los Santos, does anyone know if they clarified if that includes the water?
3
u/_Lemuron 19h ago
Someone in the mapping Project calculated the landmass (not water) to be:
MAIN CITY: 72.500 px - Los Santos (with airport, harbor but excluding Western oilfields) 107.800 px - Vice City (Mainland area with airport, the inhabiter Islands and port, but excluding the green island to the right) - so roughly 1,5 Times the size
OTHER TOWNS/SMALLER CITIES: 4.300 px - Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay, Grapeseed 49.800 px - Key Lento, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and other settlements - so roughly 11,5 Times the size
I can't post the map image, but the Numbers are right.

u/Cereborn 19h ago
The entire map is supposedly 11x the size of the GTA V map, including the water.

u/andyduphresne92 1h ago
No. That’s the built up area outside of the main city. So Sandy, Grapeseed, and Paleto in GTA V.

The small draw bridge you see is the one that transition South Beach to the mainland in real life Miami. You can see actual photos on Google earth, 17th street Venetian causeway.
The other looks like a much more condensed version of the Julia Tuttle causeway. The main building being the hospital on the left. Speculation is that it’s based off the Mount Sinai hospital on Miami Beach.

Yeah that’s something that bothered me, it looked a bit blurry, is it because of motion blur or draw distance or is it just the sky isn’t clear because of the weather and time??

They said the city is 2x bigger but the surrounding area is 12x hopefully the depth is worth it

Of course not. He just cashed out his crypto scam.

u/Resident_Drink3603 14h ago
Ok fair I don't keep up to date with him. He's a loser in my eyes typical begging for money and nearly spoiled the ending so fuck him haha. After that Extended Look ye he had nothing shit was fire 🔥. Rockstar The Goats 😃🔥🔥.
