Grand Theft Auto V's Mundane, yet Weird Map Details
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2023
- With Grand Theft Auto VI's reveal on the horizon, I thought it time to take a look at Los Santos from Grand Theft Auto V. It's a HUGE game, so there's much more than I could cover in a single video. I did my best to pick a random sampling of spots I thought were interesting. I'm sure there's some spot you think is super cool that I didn't talk about. Well, TOUGH. This is MY video. If you want people to know about your special spot, why don't you make your own video. Or you can leave a comment down below sharing it. I won't read it though. ... Okay I will read it, but I won't acknowledge it. Other people might though. I can't control what they do. Though I have something in the works that will let me control other's minds. Don't tell anyone though. You gotta keep that a secret. I feel like this is a good place to put a secret, as nobody will really read this. I already forgot how this description started. Just watch the video already.

Only when you take a close look like this the true insane levels of detail in GTA can be realised, It's crazy that inidivual people made these thousands of niche assets 99% of players wont give a 2nd thought about.
What's crazy to me is that they have such big teams AND they take so long to develop. I'm not the biggest Rockstar fan in the world, but there is nobody doing what they're doing in the industry today. I'm super curious to just see GTA 6 and the scope of its world.
Didn’t expect grrt here
@@PretzelYTI’d love to just walk around Vice City and take in all the atmosphere when it launches
Mate... this guy is just doing a great job at looking at real stuff and looking at details. the creators just copied and pasted what real life has to offer... stop glazing on good but not THE PERFECT game.
Grrt jumpscare
For people familiar with LA, a lot of the locations in GTA5 are downright uncanny. Of course the major buildings are represented, but I even recognized many of the intersections you show in the video.
You reminded me of San Francisco in Watch Dogs 2. I heard that's SUPER accurate to the real city.
I've only played one game that recreated a place I lived. It really is wild to just see places digitally that you've actually visited in real life.
I live in LA and I LOVE this game for that uncanny feeling. Especially the bridge to the side of Lester's factory that goes back to the city
@@tonyhinojosa666yess it’s cool knowing i lived by those bridges irl
i live in NYC gta 4 is the same way there are things only people from NYC would notice
The map feels uncanny regardless like how you feel so small walking when the city is like 80% road and the hoods cut into the business district so abruptly or that the map is literally composed mostly of empty warehouse but I suppose it is things they make fun of La for.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles so seeing the world brought to life in such a way has always been a treat. As excited as I am for Vice City, I know I'll miss Los Santos.
Im from long island and i hope they return to liberty city one day and go way overboard on the surrounding areas. Id be thrilled to find a district modeled after the hamptons where ive worked or something like that.
Miss? We've been trapped here for 10 fucking years.
GTA 4 was originally supposed to feature where you are but they decided to just do the city instead and make that extremely detailed.@@thefinalkayakboss
Have you ever played True Crime: Streets of LA?
Raised in Broward and then moved to Miami/Dade for a few years before moving up to New England.
Very excited to go back to Miami!
It’s a miracle that this game could run on an Xbox 360. They originally planned to have more trees and nature/details, but had to cut and minimise them due to hardware limitations.
How nice of Pretzel to bring attention to such a small indie game as Grand Theft Auto V.
Snark aside, my "weird hidden detail" experience I had with this game back in the ps3 version was walking in a Shopping street near one of the hospitals/train/bus terminal (the one where you control Chop in a mission). Each shop has those advertisings on the awnings with phone numbers you can actually call (in-game) and get different responses to. One of them has a nice elevator music that got me entertained for a few minutes.
I am proud to give upcoming indie developers the platform their games deserve 🫡
I love Pretzels videos the way he takes it slow and looks way to much into even the smallest details or just a 1 time NPC.
Yeah it’s so relaxing
I like them too but the AI voice is uncanny
@@aaronjoosepseppis it an ai voice?
@@brown-eyedcheese5440yes, by the way there is no characteristics in the voice and how the mic quality is too good for such a small channel.
@@aaronjoosepsepp Wtf are you saying, that's just his cadence, it's clearly a human talking lol
Also, you can go watch his old videos and hear his voice on different mic qualities but still, wtf does that have to do with anything? I can have a good mic and 0 subs or vice versa.
I find it so strange. The world of GTA looks so realistic so detailed to such a absurd extent but it only takes a little looking to find a underbelly of intense parody and comedy on real life. I like it.
That's something I kinda forgot about until my most recent playthrough, about how in-your-face it is with it's parody and satire. I wonder how much GTA6 will lean into that as well...
Not to mention about the parodies of brands, commercials, and radio station commentaries that lighten up the dark, criminal underbelly of the GTA world.
7:00 No, this interior was always accessible in the game. It was just only actually utilized much later when the original heist update came out
Really? The wiki has a trivia section saying:
"The addition of the bank's interior after the Heists Update marks one of the only occasions in which a newly added location in GTA Online has become available in GTA V as well. This allows the bank to be one of the few new GTA Online locations to be readily accessible in Director Mode."
Is that just a lie?
@@PretzelYTit does work in director mode, yes. I remember when I was younger I'd play director mode and pretend to Rob the Pacific standard bank, used to record and edit it, I was obsessed.
@@PretzelYTidk, I do remember seeing this bank before the update. Gotta look for some footage
@@PretzelYT
There's a 10 year ago footage of Pacific Standard. Update did drop 2 later
th-cam.com/video/FiVQHbsYwX8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ITeUjokTPRfx9tjv
@@PretzelYTIf you search 2013 enterable bank GTA 5 or something along those lines you will find examples of it before the heist update as well
Use to live in cali in 2011 I was surprised when gta 5 released it felt like a real 1 for 1 scale of LA, rockstar really nailed the west coast feel and look with the tech that was available
God, I loved this video. I didn't think many people just stopped and appreciated Rockstar's immaculate world design. You should do RDR2! There's so much detail in even the furthest of places, it's so impressive.
I never really realized how cool and detailed the in-game internet is. I love how Rockstar devs put so much effort into their games, I really cant wait to explore GTA VI and discover all the new things in there
also, really cool video, it was well written and very interesting to watch
@@GalacticFoxCat It will, 1 to almost 2 years after the console version, but it'll.
My favorite in game website is the one with that woman that can read the future, there are some funny dialogues with all 3 protagonists with her.
I was thinking “he needs to come back and do the fake internet” and then you did it. I’d love to see another video on this game the details are wild. Even tide is simulated.
1:28 This is something I would do occasionally in IV and V. I love to take in the city vibe because I do that IRL too. IV is arguably more interactive for pedestrians because some buildings are enterable immune V, but V has a much brighter tone (considering the theme of the game isn't as depressing as IV).
I'm excited for VI and I can't wait to explore Vice City on foot (and rumors claim it will have more enterable buildings than previous GTA).
*enterable unlike V. Keyboard autocorrect got wayy off
Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City is incredible too. Would love a video on that
I'm waiting for a nice discount on the game + the expansion. It's definitely on my radar though! It seems super cool these days, especially with all the patches its had.
@@PretzelYT I’ve got both. Even on low end hardware it’s still pretty good (SSD required tho)
@@MatthewGoat91515 No one can stop me from running the game on a hard drive
@@nottoofast It’ll run, but for Phantom Liberty the system requirements ask for an SSD
There’s actually a secret storage room you can go inside at the lifeinvader office
This dude makes my day when he uploads. Kudos Pretzel
Terrific video. Quality Rockstar map analyses are disappointingly sparse on TH-cam. Glad I found your channel, right up my alley!
Los Santos has a strong resemblance to LA and Santa Monica in real life. You can tell its a super condensed though, lots of streets and places are missing but when you drive on a street that is from GTA 5 you instantly recognize it. Rockstar did such a good job with actually creating a mini LA
I love how meta your approach is. You literally capture the video-watching and audio-only segments. I put your videos on while I'm playing the games you talk about just to listen to your commentary in the background. Sometimes I'll window switch over to the video for a specific segment, but most of the time I just have you playing in the background with the game tracks backing you and the main game music muted.
This might be an unpopular opinion but i think R* truly did a stellar job with the map given the limitations of the PS3 and Xbox 360.Such a shame they didn't give us more interiors later on with new versions of the game though.
I think what’s so weird about the dog picture at 9:00 is that the floor and wall in the picture line up with the table and wall, making it look like an empty frame with a dog in it
12:34 Which is surprising since Trevor complains during a (side?) mission that he can't even get pizza delivered out there.
I did the same thing. I would turn on first person mode and just walk and walk around the city, especially kinda suburban residential areas, and look around.
You remind me of Chef John with Foodwishes here on TH-cam. Your enthusiasm and character bring these videos to life!
Finding out gta 6 is dropping so soon is really making me appreciate and love los santos more than ever, it actually feels like im proper moving citys soon
GTA IV had a fake TH-cam called ElectricTit. And they even made fun of the Viacom vs TH-cam thing that basically gave us the Content ID System.
I love this video man. I thought i was the only one who stops and just walk around, slowly take in and notice things about the world, the environment and sound design. Noticing unique uninteresting/obscure areas
you deserve way more subs. these kinds of slow paced map exploration videos are super relaxing for me. i could actually sleep to these.
I want you to know that you are genuinely funny and are entertaining as well as informative
Love this style of video!
Please keep doing these deep dive videos into the unseen backstreets and unnoticed minutiae. You have me hooked lol I can't wait for your gta 6 videos 😊
Mate you are my favorite new channel. I don't know when you started, but I mean new to me... Very classy!
I never even knew about Pacific Standard! 10 years later and this game STILL has new content for me. That's why I love GTA V. I've been playing it on and off since a few months after it came out ( I was like, 4 ) and nearly each and every time I boot it up there's SOMETHING new.
It wasn’t in the original release of the game it was added in expanded and enhanced
@@TheFloodFourm no it wasn't, i've been there playing on ps3
The narration on this video is great. Really enjoyable to watch
love these vids. hope you do more on the other GTA’s, and maybe even other Rockstar games
This is one of my favorite things to do in any GTA game, so seeing such a detailed and thorough video about it pop up in my recommended feed was cool. I love the detail on the corkboard in the LifeInvader office; that's one of my favorite little details. It really makes the world seem more fleshed out and "lived in", and I love that.
Thank goodness you've uploaded. Looking forward to this!!!
Dude your videos are the chilliest thing on TH-cam
Thanks so much for uploading this. This stuff is right up my alley and you even include subtitles, it's amazing. Again, thank you. Also I'd try the big cheese chips cus that's what I call my bf lol
6:45 This bank has been in the game since 2013. It was discovered through a wall glitch.
Was the door to the vault locked on 360/ps3? I thought the glitch was only needed in Online? Stand on top of the vault "cage", accept a job from a contact (like Simeon), or just join Titan of a Job, and then quit out and you spawn inside the cage. I thought it was just unlocked in story mode.
It is truly insane just how detailed this game is, *especially when you consider that it was originally released for game consoles released in 2005 and 2006.
that’s what always makes me think sony saying ps5 is near its life cycle sound total bull
The LAPD uses the LSPDFR Mod to train their dispatchers. I can tell you from personal experience the mod nails it... some of the dispatch codes do work in the IRL software.
That was a great video!
I would love to see you cover the other gta games
18:39 I love the Lost MC member posting about Johnny being killed
the end with the pile up was hilarious, especially the cars driving off the highway like lemmings
Interesting! I watched your Garrys Mod video almost exactly a year ago, and love this type of explorative essays, focusing on sometimes overlooked details;
unfinished out of bounds or underappreciated areas in e.g. Cyberpunk or Half-Life;
essays on architecture, employment rates, or e.g. woodworking in Skyrim.
And hour long quiet night walks or drives through virtual worlds, too!
I'm not sure if someone else had a commented "Virtual Sightseeing" tour just like this one, but might've been you.
I made sure to subscribe this time, cause I noticed I got a lot to watch! Really lovely, cozy content, and thank you so much!
Greetings from my couch with a blanket and hot cocoa, snowy lands behind the window.
This is just perfect for that mood.
That is the IDEAL situation to enjoy a Video Game World Tour in. Props to you for that 🤝
Exploring the map in first-person is really great.
I never knew there was a metro in this game WTF.
I played trough it 3 times and have been watching DarkViper playing the game for like 6 years now
Great video! Is there a chance of doing Blue Shift and Half Life 2 + Ep1/2?
I switched accounts to one I can actually comment on because I’ve been binging all your videos on my other account and your production quality is insaaaaaaaaane, Really brilliant stuff pretsel fr
Pretzel* my bad
Rockstar has had a suprising amount of experience with LA
• LA Noir is in LA (duh)
• Midnight Club: LA (is also duh)
Man, I love these kinds of videos
The thing I can't get over is that while this game came out in 2013, it was designed to be able to run on systems which came out in the mid 2000's. The fact that it's as good as it is despite that speaks to how talented Rockstar is.
this kinda has the coziness of a video by The Librarian
It's always a good day when my favorite type of bread uploaded
Not sure how many ppl have asked (or havent), but i'd love to see one of these vids of Night City, Cyberpunk 2077! Love ur style of content
such a cozy video, loved it!!!!
Guys wake up, Pretzel uploaded
Wake up, mr. freeman
literally the first thing i saw after i just woke up lol
From LA, from the day I played it til now I’m still amazed at how detailed they made it feel
My favorite place you never go to in the story at all is the full college campus that’s in the north west of Los Santos.
5:36 You missed a random, unused hidden room to the right there, after the "Yoga Zone"
I went to america in 2020 and the LA airport was the last place I saw before leaving (for obvious reasons), and I remember after coming home I loaded up GTA and went there and it was super surreal now haha
I'm loving these videos, please do GTA 4, I'm always amazed by it's design when I play it on a chill level
I always lovedd exploring the little area of LS.
I love the thumbnail and this video!!😂 ❤
this shit deserves so much more views
subscribed and i'd love to see more videos related to rockstar open worlds! 👍
You better keep an eye on your subscription feed in 2 weeks 👀
just know i'm pestering everyone i know to come and see this lol
I'm surprised you didn't mention the weird architecture of Michael's house. There are windows on the front of the house, just right of the front door, but inside, there aren't? There should be windows where the books are in the living room. There's actually almsot enough room for another whole room between the windows and the booksshelf, but there's no door?
The reason that Sandy Shores is so dilapidated is that it resembles the Salton Sea area of SoCal. Check out some of the stories about the rise and fall of the Salton Sea as a resort area.
Other interesting and weird places:
the completely empty tunnel that cuts through Mount Chilliad, connecting roads on which, as far as I know, no NPC ever drives on
the hills around Mount Gordo (the one with the ghost), there are a bunch of hiking trails here, I think some NPCs sometimes walk there, other than that, nothing of interest
the abandoned mine shaft
the sewage tunnels under the city
the huge sea cave on the west side of the map, a small cave in one of the mountains
various empty islands in the ocean
the bottom of the ocean (ship wrecks, plane wrecks, a UFO, remains of constructions, but also underwater life, etc.)
the Altruist camp
the Lost MC clubhouse
the accessible Tequilla-La bar
the Playboy mansion
Franklin's mansion changing over the game, full of boxes after he moves in, later with stuff unpacked, pictures hanged, etc.
along with the Internet, there's also the radio, TV and movie theatres, all full of different content
so many details, such as names of businesses and other funny signs
There's way more, the game has an insane amount of details.
I think you should definitely do a video like this for red dead 2! Rockstar really put an incredible amount of detail into its map
I stopped playing that game around release when my roommate accidentally deleted my save and the only save I could revert to was like 20 hours behind 😭
I need to give it another chance someday. I'm not a HUGE western fan, but that game does have some attention to detail that's hard to ignore.
Underrated channel
Pretty crazy that we're less than a week away from seeing GTA 6 after 10 long years.
Can't wait to see how much detail they packed into it compared to GTA 5, hopefully another huge leap for open world titles.
I actually did a lot of wandering around on foot in GTAV:O, there's something quite enjoyable to doing that.
I think you're incredible man, keep it up
🫡
I love this stuff !!
Ahhh I adore videos like this. Good job ❤
thanks pal🤝
There are loads of hidden buildings and enterable interiors in the airport as well
After you really liked this I'd like your opinion on Chicago from Watch Dogs :)
I think GTA 5 still holds up 10 years later, ignoring the nonsense that is the online portion of the game. The only real gripe I have is that the FOV in first person is limited between 45 and 55 degrees, which is laughably pathetic compared to any other FPS game which lets you go all the way up to 120 in many cases.
Also there are a few inconsistencies with the interiors. In Michael's house, the skylight seen above the staircase is nowhere to be seen from outside the house, and in the Life-Invader office, the door to the cafe leads to right where the staircase should be. It seems that whoever designed the staircases in a few of the interiors really did not care about consistency.
Glad I got recommended this, I was actually looking for a video like this on GTA V a few days ago. I enjoy looking at these small details in games
This was such a lovely video
Amazing video
Thanks for a nice video
I look forward to seeing this kind of video for gta vi, I bet they use KI instead of Lorem ipsum
How the hell am I not subscribed I’ve been following your uploads for weeks
I am now subscribed
🙏you are now a pretizen. welcome.
@@PretzelYT All pretizens hail the Pretzking!
@@PretzelYT I’m so happy to be here
In the pacific standard bank there is a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. If you shoot the chandelier with a minigun, the chandelier will bounce back and forth off of the roof at a very fast speed😂😂
I love mundane, yet weird map details! What luck!
Very cool video
There is another spot to put the bus on an on ramp above the storm drain where the cars will just drive off continuouisly without even aiming at them
I do wanna see one of these for cyberpunk 2077’s night city! If not the whole city, at least a district
Kirby air ride music at the end lol
Hope you make a GTA IV video like this...
GTA IV has so many cool places!
When complimenting how well GTA 5's visuals hold up from 2013, bear in mind that they got a major visual overhaul a few years later and then a second lighter run though a few years after that
Yeah the game does feel really nice at points, especially with the lighting, but you can feel the 2013-ness of it in a few places. Definitely with the crowd density.
The email at 4:40 seems to be a rather garbled ad for a "male enhancement product". It's too low-res to tell what much of it says, but I can make out stuff like "...want to be big and strong for your (????) lady", "Use our product and you will be huge in the sheets, and the joy of the woman in your life".
Okay this one hits hard.
You avoided Franklin's house and all the urban low income areas.
I had thought about including that section of the map, but decided to really focus on the urban vs rural areas. Both the bottom and upper half of the city kinda fit that "urban streets" vibe compared to the desolate and spread out Blaine county.
Now that you bring it up though, I feel bad leaving Franklin and his side of the map out of it😭 It does have a vibe that the area around Michael's house and Trevor's house don't. If I make another video on the game, I'll give him justice.
Details in games like this are much like Bass in a rock song. Sure you probably won't notice it but if they were not there it wouldn't be right and you would notice.
It’d be really interesting seeing how you’d react to gta 4 the density of that game for a 2008 game
nice, makes me want to play gta5 again but nice and slow
GTA 5 is a massive World, partnered with the serene Background Music and is always a Joy to traverse.
12:10 Do I have to PAY 20$ to get to spend the Night on it, or do I GET 20$?
"My daily routine. Wake up, be awesome, go to bed." Truly, words to live by
