To add to Gan Ceann, GTA VI is based off the southeast of America and not really any one specific place, with Vice City itself being Miami. The rest of the state of Leonida includes various parts of Florida and Georgia (for instance, Mt Kalaga National Park is based off the mountains of Georgia, Florida does not have mountains and is incredibly flat). That being said, it seems Georgia will be represented by Gloriana in game, but it remains to be seen if that state will actually be reachable. Also, yes the Miami Vice/Vice City link is there because the Rockstar founders are big TV and movie buffs. A lot of the story of GTA Vice City is based off crime dramas from the 80s like Miami Vice and Scarface. Rockstar has turned more to the music scene these days though.

Hi

I'm not a huge fan of the light bars either, especially the patterns. As for reflections, I hate when people over exaggerate the environmental effects of police lights. If you actually look at a police car at night, the lights are not lighting up the 100ft radius around the car in a bright red/blue color. I do like the variety of components on the cars though. It seems they took some of the customization options from GTA Online. Some have ALPR (although IRL I feel like these are very rarely seen anymore or are built in to dashcams), some have different push bars or push bars with different lighting setups. Obviously the different liveries, although in the extended look you really only see Vice Beach and Vice Dale. But we know there should also be Port Gelhorn, Leonida Highway Patrol, whatever their version of FWC is (I think I heard Poach?), possibly Ambrosia Sheriff. Then there's the variety of models - buffalos, pickup trucks, stanier, explorer style (finally), Taurus style, durango style, airboats, etc. I really hope they get the jurisdictions right this time and it isn't just Vice Dale police patrolling every county like how Los Santos Sheriffs patrolled Blaine County.

I'm pretty sure some of the songs in the preview were in GTA Vice City, which is awesome that they are bringing some of that vibe back. Vice City is still my favorite soundtrack.

At the same time as the extended look, IGN released a bunch of articles from a 30 minute behind closed doors look. This is the main article: https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-exclusive-preview This is a summary of gameplay points: https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-new-gameplay-details There are a few others that basically just rehash the same information in a different way, but here are my takeaways: The most interesting thing to me was the new wanted system that expands heavily on how RDR2 worked. Crimes are reported by NPCs along with any description of you that they have. Police will respond to the area and remain there for a while - basically, you will have a wanted level in that area until things cool down. The police can get your physical description, clothing description, vehicle description, if you were operating as a couple or single; they can get witnesses and surveillance video, probably some other things I'm forgetting. You can lose the heat by changing your hairstyle or putting on accessories, changing your clothes (you can have different outfits stored in your trunk similar to RDR2), changing cars, and splitting up. You have to do a combination of these things as just putting on a hat will not clear the clothing description, etc. The level of police response changes based on the crime you committed. If you just wave your gun around without shooting, they won't respond as heavily as if you start shooting. What was also very interesting is that cars are not as easily stolen as they used to be. Higher end cars will need key cloning technology that's unlocked through the story. They also may have advanced security features like gps tracking. There's an app to show you what security features a car has, how much it would cost to register it to make it yours, and how much it would be worth to sell to a fence. You can still carjack any car regardless of its security features, but this creates a witness/victim to report a crime. The world is so full of things to do and they said they are really blurring the lines between linear story and open world activities. It's not supposed to be just go to this mission icon, do the mission, then go to the next. You are living the lives of the two characters. The variety of NPCs is something I don't think any game has ever done or will ever be able to do. Normally every NPC looks basically the same because making different animations for different sized peds is difficult and expensive on hardware. Rockstar came up with a system that dynamically changes the animations to match the size of the ped, allowing there to be a variety in height and weight without it looking weird. The cars look so much better and the scale of everything feels much better. They said in GTA V the roads are super wide for gameplay reasons but in VI they made them more realistic, and it changes the look so much. Driving through traffic will actually be difficult. It looks like they probably cut the refueling feature that was shown in the leaks, which I'm not surprised by. I personally can't wait.

It's never recommended to save the game with mods installed. If you didn't, you can just load the save without any mods. If you did, you can just restore it using a trainer or cheats.

For clarification, you generally cannot upload a model you had no part in creating. If you only created the livery then you can only upload the livery. The only exception to this is if the model is not available anywhere and you have permission from the author to upload it. This could happen, for instance, if the author is no longer active in the community and their models were only uploaded to a now defunct site. Generally, you would have a hard time getting permission to reupload purchased models unless they are development assets, in which case you would have also needed to edit the model. I've never seen someone who sells vehicle models allow someone to reupload their paid model for free.
