CBS News has reported on the accuracy of GTA 6\u2019s Vice City, a fictionalized recreation of The Magic City. The Miami office of CBS News looked at major locations and brings on experts to talk about how accurate Rockstar\u2019s open world is, from PortMiami to South Beach, Wynwood to the Everglades.<\/p>\n

According to the report, fans have noticed over 100 locations in Vice City that mirror real areas in Miami, such as the Kaseya Center<\/u><\/a>, home of NBA team the Miami Heat. The Heat will actually wear Vice City-themed uniforms<\/u><\/a> in an upcoming match to celebrate the game\u2019s launch in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cVice City is unmistakably Miami,\u201d the reporter says in the video before pausing the gameplay to compare it to the real street, 15th and Biscayne in downtown Miami. \u201cIf you\u2019re a true Miami local, you\u2019ll recognize that replicated overhead walkway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video moves onto Ocean Drive, an area of Miami players will recognize from the original GTA: Vice City, with its neon lights and bustling streets. The real life Breakwater Hotel appears in GTA 6 as Hotel Boardwalk, while a hotel in the background of the scene is called Hotel Dixon. <\/p>\n

Hotel Dixon is a reimagined Victor Hotel. Miami Design Preservation League\u2019s Julie Fornary appeared in the report to explain that the Victor Hotel was built by designer and architect L. Murray Dixon in 1937 \u2014 Rockstar\u2019s naming choice here works as a layered Easter egg for Miami residents to pick up on, in a lovely homage to locals. <\/p>\n

The report praises Rockstar\u2019s attention to detail throughout, and how GTA 6 blends the iconic art deco architecture of Old Miami with the more modern buildings that dominate the city\u2019s skyline. \u201cBut the game\u2019s South Florida feel is deeper than just some buildings and streets,\u201d the reporter says. \u201cIt\u2019s what Vice City represents: character, culture, adventure. That same spirit has been part of Miami\u2019s story from the very beginning.\u201d Fornary goes on to talk about the city\u2019s history and how it was founded by pioneers and adventurers. <\/p>\n
