They’ve already “recreated” the GTA 6 trailer in the original Vice City

21 years is a long time in gaming, as this video comparing GTA 6 and Vice City proves.

While we’ve been back to Liberty City several times, the last time we visited Vice City, which was modelled on Miami, was in 2006 in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It was a logical move by Rockstar Games to make it the central setting for Grand Theft Auto VI, both to caress the souls of long-time fans and to set the action in a state where something happens every day that wouldn’t be out of place in a GTA.

We wish it weren’t, but the woman twerking on the roof of the car, the alligator crawling around the shop and being fished out of the pool, the man naked in his garden, the nice lady attacking with hammers, the mud bathing and the ‘Florida Joker’ are all real, as GameSpot’s video shows.

Nearly 100 million people have already seen the most anticipated trailer of the last 10 years, and of course some of them are creating it, such as the FGS channel, which has made a comparison, “recreating” some elements of the GTA 6 trailer in the original Vice City, beyond a point of being quite free.

It’s a good indication of how much time has passed since Vice City was released. Will we find references to Tommy Vercetti and his friends?
