![]() ![]() This would make Kelly County the fictionalised Monroe County, and various road signs support this too. This pins the gas station and its Leonard County police car in the north western area, or Collier County. This is a gas station chain with locations all over the United States, but as you can see in the image below, none are present in the south western, swampy Everglades area. But which is which? The PlanetLeonidaMan social media clip that references Leonard County shows a small town gas station, and the blue and yellow signage is a clear reference to Sunoco. One of these counties will likely include the Everglades-inspired swamp area, and we expect the other to cover the prison and dustier small towns seen in the trailer. We therefore expect GTA 6 will include fictional versions of Monroe County and Collier County alongside Vice Dale. Above Miami-Dade lies Broward County, and while its real cities like Fort Lauderdale are distinct, they still lie within the Miami metropolitan area and are perhaps too aesthetically similar to Vice City to include as well. Looking at the Florida map, Miami-Dade County lies in the south east and is bordered on its western border by Monroe County slightly south and Collier County slightly north. ![]() Working out the other two – Leonard County and Kelly County – requires more tedium. Counties are therefore used to separate geographically distinct areas, so Vice Dale County will likely just include Vice City and perhaps a taste of its outskirts. Rockstar did the same with GTA 5 and while the real Los Angeles County includes the city and much of the area above it, Rockstar’s Los Santos County solely includes the city and reimagines the northern area as Blaine County. We expect the Grand Theft Auto version will solely include the city, though. This is exactly why some people genuinely criticized an unfinished GTA 6 for looking unfinished in videos that nobody was meant to see, and it's why this fixation on leaks boils my piss.As Vice City is based on Miami, it’s very likely Vice Dale County is based on Miami-Dade County, which contains the city and its outskirts, including much of the Everglades. ![]() Some blanks can't be filled without final details – the kind of details that make for good, informative, practical news – and some stories will, deliberately or unwittingly, exclude important details that put leaks into perspective. When leaks like that in-progress GTA 6 build get cut up and spread around social media, viewers won't get the full picture, and a lot of people aren't willing to do the legwork to fill in the blanks before drawing conclusions. ![]() Some people won't have the appropriate context or understanding to interpret a leak. Anything it did tell us was just an incomplete version of something we were going to learn soon anyway, and outside of situations far more urgent than the reveal of a video game, it's a disservice to readers to rush out patchy information. Just as the GTA 6 leak told us next to nothing about the final game. Not that you need another reason, because again, it has no value to readers. That's part of my job, and it's the part that necessitates an antagonistic relationship toward the industry.īut if a story has no value to readers and may well mislead them, it causing problems for creators is another reason to not run a story with that angle. I'll very deliberately want to cause headaches for devs or publishers if they're up to some dumb shit. Leaks are very often inaccurate or outdated, and sharing them irresponsibly – that is, breaking leaks, not writing about leaks shared elsewhere, which journalists are obligated to do – can set readers up for disappointment while creating needless headaches for creators. ![]()
