GTA 6 won’t embody its personal spoof on certainly one of Florida’s most iconic venues: Walt Disney World. I like all issues Disney, together with the parks. However I additionally recognize and revel in Rockstar’s penchant for sarcasm and making enjoyable of issues. And Disney World? There’s a lot to poke enjoyable at. So I’m a bit bummed that Walt Disney World–or no matter Rockstar would identify its simulacrum–won’t seem in GTA 6.
Sport Informer requested Rockstar if Florida’s central area, together with Orlando and its vacationer locations like Walt Disney World and Common Studios, can be represented in GTA 6 in some kind, and Jack McPherson mentioned they would not. Nevertheless, McPherson pressured that GTA 6 will supply the “full Florida expertise” in quite a few different methods.
“We now have to consistently consider the range of landscapes, cities, buildings, landmarks, vistas, plant species, rock formations and all the things else earlier than we work with design and narrative to distill an inventory down that greatest works with and serves the sport’s wants. So, whereas we might not have these actual places, all the things we’ve got is geared to getting that full Florida expertise!”
GTA 6 additionally will not function SeaWorld or Florida’s iconic “Area Coast,” that includes Cape Canaveral’s historic launch pad.
I’m not too shocked by any of this, although, contemplating GTA 6 takes place in Vice Metropolis, a stand-in for Miami, which is a four-hour, 230-mile drive from Orlando. I do know GTA 6 goes to be a giant game–featuring the most important sport map Rockstar ever made–but I by no means anticipated the map to run all the best way as much as Orlando.
Jay Klaitz, who famously portrayed Lester in Grand Theft Auto 5, beforehand mentioned in an interview that he puzzled if Rockstar would create its personal, legally distinct model of Disney World that could possibly be known as “Psycho Park.”
“That may be fascinating too in the event that they type of delve into that setting,” he mentioned.
Whereas GTA 6 may not function its personal tackle Disney World, it is attainable the park could possibly be referenced in GTA 6’s radio chatter, and a few spoofs may come there. The effectively runs deep for issues Rockstar could make enjoyable of Disney World for, together with its ever-increasing ticket costs, the worth to purchase actually something within the parks, and the so-called Disney Grownup phenomenon, simply to call a number of choices. I really like Disney, however even essentially the most diehard followers have their points.
Because it occurs, the final sport within the sequence, GTA 5, was set the place Disneyland–the OG Disney park–is situated within the Los Angeles space, and that sport additionally didn’t function its personal theme park spoof that gamers may go to. Nevertheless, GTA 5 featured a movie manufacturing firm often called Fred’s Footage, which was an apparent reference to Disney.
