GTA 5 player finds exact Los Santos locations in real-life trip to LA Rockstar GamesA GTA 5 player has gone viral on Reddit after sharing photos of a bunch of Los Santos buildings in real life during a trip to Los Angeles. Grand Theft Auto has delivered some of the most memorable open-world locations in video game history, from Vice City to San Andreas \u2013 but GTA 5\u2019s Los Santos is arguably the best and most iconic map fans have experienced so far. Now, most players know that the beloved in-game location is based on the real-life city of Los Angeles, but they might not be aware of just how true-to-life Rockstar made it, even down to recreating specific buildings in great detail. Reddit user DylanP3692 took to the GTA Online subreddit to share photos from their recent trip to Los Angeles, where they went hunting for buildings that were recreated in the Los Santos map. First on the list is Del Perro Heights, the in-game building where players can purchase apartments 4, 7, and 20. It\u2019s not quite as exciting in real life, as it turns out it\u2019s just a standard office building. Next is Maze Bank West, which serves as an office for criminal organizations in the game. In real life, DylanP3692 explained, this building is actually a bank. Finally, there\u2019s Eclipse Towers, the 27-story residential skyscraper in West Vinewood. This is based on the real-life Sierra Towers, a luxury building that\u2019s previously been home to the likes of Cher, Joan Collins, and Courteney Cox. The comparisons left some Reddit users impressed once again at how authentic the game portrayed Los Angeles. Others shared their own memories of exploring the city and recognizing buildings from the Los Santos map. \u201cI swear to god, if I go to LA I\u2019d be able to make my way around way too damn well just because of how immaculately they recreated it in GTA,\u201d wrote one player, while another explained: \u201cAs an LA resident, GTA V will forever be the best GTA for me because of how accurately they captured my city.\u201d One Redditor jokingly asked if it was strange not seeing flying bikes, to which DylanP3692 replied: \u201cIt kind of did, but it felt good knowing my day wouldn\u2019t be ruined by me losing my temper and killing the griefer over and over again.\u201d There have been plenty of examples of how Rockstar recreated the city of Los Angeles in GTA 5 over the years, but it\u2019s especially impressive to see how faithfully they did this even down to individual buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
