![]() On the right, you’ll notice that part of the bridge is unfinished. ![]() Sticking with that shot of the Florida Keys bridge for just a moment, take a look at the angle of the bridge that is shown at the 0:36 mark of the trailer. Renewed opportunities aside, that shot of the Seven Mile Bridge is one of many shots in that trailer that strongly suggest the GTA 6 map will be massive. Now, it seems like the team will finally get the chance to bring that area to the GTA universe. Well, way back when, it was rumored that Rockstar wanted to feature that bridge and the Florida Keys in 2002’s Vice City but was unable to do so due to time, budget, and technical limitations. When that in-development gameplay footage of GTA 6 leaked last year, some fans noticed Lucia swimming near a location that looked a lot like the Seven Mile Bridge that connects Miami and mainland Florida to the string of islands known as the Florida Keys. While the GTA 6 trailer is loaded with Vice City callbacks (including a brief glimpse of the Ocean View Hotel where Tommy Vercetti once stayed), one of the most interesting shots in the trailer concerned a location that wasn’t in Vice City. The Many Locations That Were (and Weren’t) In Vice City So, those scenes of Lucia and her partner and some of the other cutaways to characters that don’t reference a specific Florida event may very well showcase characters more unique and important to GTA 6. You can find a helpful collage of all of those references and their real-life inspirations right here.Ĭute callbacks aside, the presence of those references does seemingly allow us to split the trailer into a few distinct parts: callbacks, environment shots, and in-game plot sequences. ![]() Those include (but are not limited to) the Florida Joker, the man watering his lawn in a thong, the alligator in the convenience store, and the woman twerking on top of a car. Many who follow the seemingly endless parade of absurd stories from the state of Florida have pointed out that much of GTA 6’s reveal trailer actually consists of references to real-life Florida events that previously went viral. On the door, you’ll see a rainbow-colored sticker that says “Petty Forever.” Those “Random” Citizen Shots Aren’t So Random Not enough Petty love for you? Take a look at the shot at the end of the trailer around the 1:17 mark. Granted, there’s always room for…embellishment when it comes to those who manage the accounts of deceased celebrities, but it’s at least nice to think that Petty would have gotten a thrill out of this reveal. Not only is Petty a Florida native (the very state that GTA 6 is thoroughly parodying), but the operators of the Tom Petty Twitter account suggested that the late singer was previously thrilled to contribute “Running Down a Dream” to the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack and would have loved to see this song featured on the GTA 6 soundtrack. ![]() However, the connections run a little deeper than that. Of course, some also see it as a bit of a wink towards the long, long wait for the GTA 6 trailer. In case you’re wondering, the song featured in the GTA 6 trailer is Tom Petty’s “Love is a Long Road.” The popular theory at the moment is that the song was probably chosen as a reference to the love story between GTA 6 protagonist Lucia and her as-of-yet-unnamed partner in crime.
