Any street with fewer than three lanes is required to have a squirrel that either bolts out in front of your car at the last possible second or runs into the middle of the road and just stares you down like you're the problem.

 

[PeteBull]

U guys got some wild trick or treaters back there, not judging, just sayin :

 

[Idleyes]

We Floridian's are proud our state is famous, maybe not for the right reasons, but proud all the same.

 

[Sushigod7]

The city was kind enough to give them their own cross walks with traffic lights.

Haha true! Heard some crazy stories from the AC guys who did repairs there years back.

Damn right.. If anything, I just hope it scares people from ever moving here. The less people the better. Lol

It's the lack of state income tax that draws many in, most of which turn tail and run after their first hurricane floods them out, insurance premiums skyrocket, or they realize they bought a family home in the middle of an Airbnb neighborhood.

 

[GudOlRub]

Something scripted sure.

Many games have those setpieces that are not possible during normal gameplay, sp2 sandman boss battle, dogma 2 giant statue etc.

I just don't expect real time flooding while you just explore the open world.

Real-time flooding is a bit too much I agree, but scripted while free-roaming is likely imo, Red Dead 2 already had water levels rising in puddles and rivers (all scripted of course) so I can see them scripting mild beach and sea level street flooding when heavy storms hit.
And I do hope they use some of that additional CPU power to have heavy winds and hurricanes throw shit around, Red Dead 2 already had some impressive weather effects and storms so I'm hoping they'll ramp it up a notch with VI.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I feel attacked

I'm from New York and lived in Orlando for some years. I was so baffled by the "bundled up up-top and flip flops and shorts on the bottom" thing lol.

 

[Idleyes]

I was always told as a kid never to drink their water. I vacation in the florida gulf yearly and have since the late 80's. To this day, I have never drink their tap water. I buy bottled water

This is definitely a thing. I know plenty of people who drink Florida tap water though, and maybe it's just anecdotal, but every single one of them niggas is crazy. I'm not saying they're crazy for drinking the water, I'm saying I think they're crazy because they drink the water.

Exactly lol I was ALWAYS told just... dont... drink it lol so never ever have

We don't own pants in Florida too hot for it

I moved down here five years ago from NY. Florida doesn't have shit on crazy NYers. Well, besides having too many NYers but I've noticed they start acting a lot nicer when they get down here.

They start acting a lot nicer down here because flipping the bird or blowing your car horn one too many times might get you shot. Our gun laws hit different.

Everything's pretty chill and relaxed down here compared to up there. I don't think they're worried about getting shot.

 

[poodaddy]

Remind me not to visit Florida ever.

I lived there for a short time when I was 18. I've also lived in TN, South Carolina, Washington and Maine. I would consider all of those states trashy in their own way, and nice in their own way....

But Florida's just on another level when it comes to trash. People just don't understand if they haven't spent significant time there lol. There's a reason why "Florida Man" is a running joke with insane news; they are fucking off the reservation down there. Could absolutely never live there, decent place to visit though. Nastiest beaches in the country too.

 

[Diddy X]

I expect the most powerful weather effects, rain storms and hurricanes in a videogame yet, it's gonna be mind blowing.

 

[{insert code here}]

As a Floridian, I've been eagerly awaiting GTA 6, especially with it being set in a Vice City inspired by Miami Florida. But let's be honest: if Rockstar doesn't embrace some of the beautiful chaos that is life here, it's going to feel more like "Humid LA." I'm not talking palm trees and pastel suits, I mean gators raiding kitchens, meth heads in Disney costumes, hurricane party on the roof kind of shit. So here's 19 of some immersion breakers from a fellow Floridian.

1: No NPCs pole dancing on traffic signs
2: No racoons on bath salts
3: The absence of trailer park legal advise
4: Can't sail airboats through gulf courses.
5: Gas stations don't sell fireworks bundled with boiled peanuts
6: No killing mosquito's with flip flops.
7: Drivers using turn signals
8: Can't bribe code enforcement with stolen flamingo lawn ornaments
9: No one driving a lawn mower down I-95
10: No strip clubs near daycare centers
11: No shirtless NPCs selling lizards at Circle K
12: No immediate power outage after a text from the utility company says power was restored.
13: Can't throw iguanas at people.
14: No opportunity to throw hands with theme park mascots
15: No pick pocket seagulls.
16: No Publix staffer restocking Air Wick Essential oils while customers fight over water & D batteries before a hurricane.
17: No Hurricane.
18: No naked NPC sipping yak on a stolen jet ski while being chased by FL Fish and Wildlife.
19: No NPC's getting kicked out the airport for trying to board with an emotional support python.

Non Floridians are more than welcome to throw in what you'd consider either emersion breaking or indistinguishable from LA.

This sounds like a great vacation .

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Florida sounds amazing lol

If it weren't for the oppressive humidity and the mosquitoes I would move there today

 

[Shadowstar39]

I doubt it, the game already look fairly impossible for these poor consoles, real time flooding is asking a bit too much.

You can have that in fedex simulator 2 that only has to render one character and the location most of the time.

Just cause 4 did hurricanes and weather last gen for open world on ps4. Don't see why it couldn't work.

 

[Stafford]

The other day I read that Rockstar patented all kinds of stuff for the game, such as extreme weather.

So, maybe? I'd love it.

 

[Imtjnotu]

There better be sharks in golf courses

Python hunting

Gators fighting crocs

I want to be able to drive 400mph on the 4 from Tampa to Orlando

Drive through liquor windows

Plastic surgery for Lucia. If I can't get a BBL then what is the point

 

[Audiophile]

Buying fireworks and being able to set them off would be pretty cool, especially if I can do it indoors or at people..

 

[yogaflame]

Florida has a very interesting culture and very good basketball and football program. I like them.

And I love the flora and fauna, well just don't let the crocodiles come into your house

 

[ReBurn]

30 fps would break immersion

 

[EverydayBeast]

Have to understand it's a game made for mostly young men who don't discuss weather, and are desperate for classic rockstar story telling.

 

[MSduderino]

Might be a bridge too far, but gator eating a baby.

30 fps would break immersion

Every GTA has launched at that though.

 

[Buggy Loop]

What is the point of ever making GTA 7 anyway

You'll never beat Florida as GTA tongue in cheek nonsense. Not a single other place on earth can beat it.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Might be a bridge too far, but gator eating a baby.

Every GTA has launched at that though.

And it's been a deal breaker.

 

[M.W.]

I assume Rockstar gets all their info from https://www.reddit.com/r/FloridaMan/

100% Orlando has Flint Michigan levels of bad water. If I get stuck in a "off park" hotel I swear to god I smell worse when I get OUT of the shower.

 

[GymWolf]

Just cause 4 did hurricanes and weather last gen for open world on ps4. Don't see why it couldn't work.

Because just cause only had that going on, barely any npcs or city simulation or animal simulation or traffic simulation or anything that gta6 is gonna do, if you think that stuff is easy and doesn't come with a huge cost in performance, i have a bridge to sell you.

Jc4 also looked mid even for ps4 standards, gta6 looks like the best graphic ever, another thing to consider.

Just cause 4 was a fun physics sandboxe (it even did some stuff before zelda tokt but get no credit for it) but it was not a complete and realistic city simulation.

 

[Hudo]

As a non-American, Florida always seemed like the likeable kind of crazy, whereas California seems like the deeply unlikable kind of crazy.

 

[Paasei]

I know they are (much) further away from the Miami area, but it would be fun to see some of the fuckton of themeparks there.

 

[Idleyes]

Miami does have a few of its own, but I get what you mean. I seriously doubt Rockstar would have an easy time dealing with Disney or Universal's legal teams if they tried to parody their parks. Just navigating the paperwork could delay the game by a decade.

Ah, man...

 

[yogaflame]

GTA used to really exaggerate in thier portrayals of cities, but I'm starting to think whatever they do and however crazy they go it will still seem toned down compared to real life.

Rocktstar is clearly effected by the controversies from hidden sex scene in GTA San Andreas.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

All it takes to break immersion is a hand, hair or weapon clip that shouldn't disappear in to a character's clothes. With all the tech can they not find a way to keep that stuff from going in to each other?

 

[Idleyes]

Can't believe I forgot to mention the dive-bombing birds. Not only do you have to watch out for people and seagull pickpockets, but also little random kamikazes trying to scalp you like an Apache.

 

[Audiophile]

Packs of morbidly obese "Disney adults" waddling around a theme park inhaling hotdogs, dancing on tiktok and complaining about the "rashes" on their ankles would be pretty hilarious.

 

[Paasei]

Easy fix:
For Disney parks: Sydney Glacier Beach, Beast Empire, Future World, Illusion County and Vinewood Studio's
Universal Studios becomes: Galactic Studios & Lagoon of Campaign
Bush Gardens becomes: Al Gardens
Sea World becomes: Ocean Planet

 

[notseqi]

Need me a cool gator in my ride at all times.

 

[TagZ]

I used to live in Weston, Broward for about 4 years, didn't think I'd hear stories like "I bonked a gator on the head with a paddle while out in my kayak"... but I did.

 

[GymWolf]

Never used Beastgpt? Sometimes it glitch.

 

[Idleyes]

Have Turn signals ever been part of a GTA game?

No, but it might be one of those immersive upgrades one of the Dev's want's to add. I listed it in hopes that one guy in the office coding turn signals will see it and stop. I mean it. Just Stop bruh, it doesn't fit in Vice City.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Wouldn't all they need to do is make a park with a different symbol. Say instead of Mickey mouse do some other animal like a bear, gator or something like that.
Hell I remember Busch Gardens Tampa area having a gator safari, or at least it did in 1989, lol.

It could make epcot look different, like different shape or just a round sphere.
All they need to do is not use trademarks and they should be fine, i would think.

 

[DeepEnigma]

You need to get off Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando and stop going to the Parliment House.

I grew up in Central Florida between Daytona Beach, Leesburg, Apopka area. Lots of prostitutes on the OTB.

P-House is no longer there.

Cowboys is, however.

 

[Tajaz2426]

P-House is no longer there.

Cowboys is, however.

I used to travel OTB quite often to get to the orange bowl arena for games and stuff. Prosties everywhere, but the parliment house for the dudes with the hotel attached.

It was crazytown around that area with drugs and violence. Was Cowboys open in the 90s. That's when I lived in Eustis for high school and traveled a lot down there.
