Grand Theft Auto 6
Summary
Grand Theft Auto 6could finally unite Rockstar ’s two liberal place by formally colligate withRed Dead Redemption 2 ’s map . Rumors about the sizing ofGTA 6 ’s map have been circulating since much 2013 , with the most absurd being that it would let in the entire continental United States . While that ’s pretty much out of the query at this point , GTA 6 ’s single-valued function already looks middling impressive , and could have some interesting railroad tie toRDR2 ’s .
The first trailer forGTA 6revealed its setting : Vice City , a recur location from the fourth mainline game in the series . Vice City is to a great extent based on the metropolis of Miami , and the land it ’s located within , Leonida , is a fictionalized version of substantial - world Florida . WhileGTA 6 ’s map plausibly is n’t as grownup as the wildest rumors suggest , there ’s really potential for the two games ' setting to cross .
Grand Theft Auto 6 could get a line a mess from Red Dead Redemption 2 , but one characteristic in particular could offer the most far - reaching benefits .
GTA 6’s Leonida Could Come Close To RDR2’s Lemoyne
GTA 6 Is Set In Florida, And RDR2 Includes Parts Of Louisiana
It may be a stretch , butit ’s not all out of the realm of hypothesis thatGTA 6might cross paths withRDR2 . Of course , GTA 6is concentrate on on the Vice City / Miami domain , which order most of its activity firmly in South Florida . Butthere ’s some meter reading that it ’ll flesh out further into the surrounding areas than the originalVice City .
For one matter , that ’s usually what a subsequence sic in the same location does , particularly when it comes out three console table generations later . GTA 5 , which is put in Los Santos likeGTA : San Andreas , has a importantly larger map - and those two games only fare out nine year aside , compare toVice CityandGTA 6 ’s 23 . But there are also severalclues in the firstGTA 6trailerthat point to larger part of Florida being adapted into the biz . Areas resembling the Everglades National Park and the Florida Keys make appearance .
So , the rumor going around is thatGTA 6 ’s map will take up the integral country of Leonida / Florida . While it ’s a more reasonable proposition than the total continental United States , it ’s still extremely unlikely , and there ’s been no prescribed indication from Rockstar to indicate that ’s the instance . Even so , it could include a compressed version of it , or a very prominent part of it , which could put it pretty close toRDR2 ’s borders . Red Dead Redemption 2includes the nation of Lemoyne , which is nearly based on Louisiana . Of naturally , its independent feature of speech is the metropolis of Saint Denis , a fictionalize version of New Orleans .
Red Dead Redemption 2 features various singular Town that players can visit and explore , but some , like Valentine , are more interesting than others .
New Orleans itself is fairly snug to the northwest crest of the Florida panhandle , which could mean that the two maps might intersect . Of course , that ’d meanGTA 6would have to include bits of states other than Leonida , but that ’s not whole out of the enquiry . GTA 4included parts of Alderney , establish on New Jersey , just over the river from its depiction of New York City . With the inclusion body of some adjacent expanse , it ’s not too much of a stretchability to retrieve thatGTA 6might cross into Lemoyne .
RDR2’s Compressed Map Could Make A GTA 6 Crossover Possible
just comparingRDR2 ’s map to the US United States Department of State by state , its square milage is downright incredible . It stretches as far east as New Orleans , as far northwards as British Columbia , as far Mae West as Southern California , and as far in the south as Mexico ’s northerly mete . But actually projecting it onto a genuine US map , things start to get a little fishy . Brobdingnagian swathes of territory are leave out , demonstrating thatRDR2left a circle of America out in purchase order to make the game work .
It only progress to sense : a one - to - one scurf map that blanket roughly three - quarters of the continental United States would be difficult to arise , and downright unimaginable to run on most modern platforms . That ’s not even to mention how ho-hum it ’d be to get around , especially in a game with limited flying travel likeRDR2 . ButGTAhas done a similar thing , albeit on a smaller scale , and it ’s that sort of orbit contraction that shit a crossing possible . In substantial life sentence , parts of southern Mississippi and Alabama disjoined New Orleans from Florida . It ’s entirely potential thatGTA 6will shrink or almost completely eliminate those regions tomerge withRed Dead .
There’s Evidence To Suggest That GTA And RDR Take Place In A Shared Universe
And of course of study , there are mass of nods inGTAto suggest it ’s touch base toRed Dead . For one thing , inGTA 5 , Franklin has a Good Book in his flat calledRed numb , write by one J. Marston . There ’s also a car rental service at the Los Santos International Airport named Escalera , after a township inRDR1 . A company named New Austin Capital , much like the state of New Austin inRed Dead , is note offhand inGTA Online . El Rubio , the main opposer ofGTA Online’sCayo Perico Heist , maneuver out a picture of his grandfather who ’s very clearly Andreas , a minor eccentric fromRDR2 .
The evidence here is pretty damnatory , but at the same time , there ’s also the possibility that these are just Easter eggs for the observing Rockstar devotee . Historically , the two continuity do n’t always line up . RDR2refers to the nation of New York by name , whereGTA 4calls it Liberty . While it ’s not out of the realm of possibility , the the true may not be as unsubdivided as the two universe being one and the same ; they may diverge at some certain point .
WillGTA 6finally make the serial publication ' connections withRed Deadexplicit ? It could go either mode , but it might be nice to see such a widespread fan theory confirm . Grand Theft Auto 6seems to have the best chance of any plot in the series to make a connection withRed Dead Redemption 2- but it ’s unsufferable to say for sure until the biz is out .
