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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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 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.
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
TH-cam’s algorithm has worked wonders in pointing me to your channel. As a long time lover of GTA I’ve completed III, VC, SA and V but I skipped IV. I haven’t played anything in about a decade though, however this stopped today after delving into your channel a bit deeper. I’ve restarted GTA SA on iPad so I can play it on my breaks at work.
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).
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.
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.
And oddly enough, even though they improved the vegetation, not even the PS4 or PS5 version had the original nature/details from the first trailers. Kinda sad... but i bet there is PC mods for that.
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 😊
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
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.
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.
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
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.
I know this video is a year old but you have reminded me about how much I desperately want GTA 6 to use the ps5's power for population density and not just raw graphical output, I would happily sacrifice a bit of fidelity if it meant the city felt packed with people and vehicles instead of slightly empty, like a true major city and not a major city with the population of a small one.
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
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.
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
This video deserves a part 2, because there are so many more both iconic and less glamorous locations you didn't cover. Iconic: the pier, the sidewalk of fame with names of famous actors imprinted on them, Vespucci canals, the one pedestrianised street in all of Los Santos, etc. Less glamorous: homeless gathering spots like the area beneath the highway 4-way interchange, a commune at the northern tip of the map with explicit anti-capitalist messaging, the "beam me up" hippie commune in Blaine county, etc.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You actually can enter the lobby when normally completing the mission, when you leave the lifeinvader office you can exit through the lobby and the receptionist will even buzz you out. I've always done this in my playthroughs because its a quicker exit from the stairs than the back exit.
Trevor's trailer changes during the games story. I think it's the only room that has the most changes beside Trevor's apartments and Jimmy's and his sisters room.
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.
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
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.
Brother I love your videos and have just subscribed! I really dig your style, you seem to have class and you're not trashy and generic in any way. I love how you keep using Final Fantasy music too, mostly from VIII. It would be great if you could make a video on the PS1 era Final Fantasy world maps. The world maps from 7, 8 and 9 have great little areas. Secret caves, draw points, dig points? I think you could make a great video!
This one was pretty disappointing when I came back to replay it a couple of months ago. The bank was one of the few places I discovered that I hadn’t before. The lack of things that you can interact with in this game is the main problem. Not just the same cut and paste mini games spread everywhere through the map but I miss the interiors, street vendors, buskers
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.
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 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.
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
It's interesting you point out the gas station doors as having that iconic look with the stickers and shutters. Ive only ever been in one gas station that looked like that in my entire life, but I know the look is commonplace for cities as seen in movies and other media.
In Michael's bathroom, there is a toothpaste with the brand "CJ's Toothpaste" likely just an easter egg to GTA SA, but the lore implications of this indicates that CJ started a Toothpaste brand
Another interesting spot downtown is the hospital that opens for one side mission as Trevor, it's only a few rooms and the location stays open for a very short period of time, still fun to explore
Salt and Sauce is a reference to Edinburgh, where Rockstar is based. Unlike the rest of the UK, where “salt and vinegar” is the default for your fish and chips, in Edinburgh you’ll be asked if you want “salt and sauce”. The sauce is like a mix of HP brown sauce and vinegar. Obviously in the UK we have salt and vinegar as crisp flavours, but not salt and sauce, so the inclusion in the vending machine is obviously a little nod to the local delicacy.
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.
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.
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?
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.

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.
if you notice at 7:44 you can see sparks coming out of the chair, which obviously I don't think is intended LOL
I love the thumbnail and this video!!😂 ❤
As someone who lives in the middle of the Oregon desert, I can confirm we live off only Donuts, Tuna, and Mayonnaise
Glad we have a first hand confirmation on that. Thank you for the on-the-ground reporting 🫡
Rockstar has had a suprising amount of experience with LA
• LA Noir is in LA (duh)
• Midnight Club: LA (is also duh)
Another interesting spot downtown is the hospital that opens for one side mission as Trevor, it's only a few rooms and the location stays open for a very short period of time, still fun to explore
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
"My daily routine. Wake up, be awesome, go to bed." Truly, words to live by
Salt and Sauce is a reference to Edinburgh, where Rockstar is based. Unlike the rest of the UK, where “salt and vinegar” is the default for your fish and chips, in Edinburgh you’ll be asked if you want “salt and sauce”. The sauce is like a mix of HP brown sauce and vinegar. Obviously in the UK we have salt and vinegar as crisp flavours, but not salt and sauce, so the inclusion in the vending machine is obviously a little nod to the local delicacy.
Saul Tyres being another one on the gas station, with a a Scottish “saltire” flag behind it.
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 used to do copious amounts of psychedelics and just walk around LS in first person all night. You would be amazed how easily it feels real
That was a great video!
I would love to see you cover the other gta games
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.

The "salt and sauce" chips are a nice little reference to Edinburgh where Rockstar are HQ'd :)
I actually did a lot of wandering around on foot in GTAV:O, there's something quite enjoyable to doing that.
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?
such a cozy video, loved it!!!!
It’d be really interesting seeing how you’d react to gta 4 the density of that game for a 2008 game
Kirby air ride music at the end lol
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.
They were teasing vice city since a long time!
The bank reminds me of the one in John Carpenter's "They Live" where the famous line, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass..."
🤔 Now that you mention that, I kinda see it.
Great video! Is there a chance of doing Blue Shift and Half Life 2 + Ep1/2?
I love this stuff !!
About fucking TIME
How would "About" fuck Time itself...?
I do wanna see one of these for cyberpunk 2077’s night city! If not the whole city, at least a district
