GTA V vs GTA SA vs Real Life Locations 

Real life has some good graphics.

Visited L.A. a few months back for the first time and I swear I felt like I knew where I was going. I kept saying to my wife "This shit looks just like GTAV!!!" The attention to detail is impeccable.

Even though many of us may not have visited Los Angeles but after playing GTA San Andreas and GTA 5 for so long. It feels like we have visited every corner of Los Angeles in real life. This is amazing.

I just love Rockstar Games’s attention to detail!

And that's why I feel Nostalgic when I see Los Angeles pictures even though I've never been there

H O L N E W O O D

i love how gta 6 improved well

Fun fact: the old hollywood sign was used to be read as Hollywoodland.

5:08 Maze bank looks more real than the real life bank Tower in LA! LoL

It’s crazy just how underappreciated GTAV’s world is.Especially after seeing what they made to San Andreas in the definitive edition it just gave me a whole new appreciation for size and beauty of Los Santos.

cool to see how small LS really is compared to LA

Man we forget how good GTA V really looks , and even compared with the real world not just as a standalone visual presentation. Also I can't believe that this old game looks so amazing still , Rockstar really did a good job recreating LA and even we do a lot criticize them for not giving us that fiking 6 thing ;) and also they kinda fu23ed up the PC ecosystem with the incapacity of solving the hackers issue , we MUST cut them some slack at least for the effort of the good part of the game graphics details above them all . The only thing that I wish V had was a bigger map like 9 times larger because people kinda got bored not with the game itself but for the lack of new . Yes it has from times to times new dlc content but is still in the same old map. The map itself has nothing to offer anymore. We, (the OG playaz ;) ), who played the game from the beginning, know the map better than our own cities we live in. Honestly I only enter the game a few hours per week and I used to stay 6 hours per day in the beginning if not more. We really need the 6 .

This was definitely one of the most interesting comparison videos you've made, I spent more time pausing and skipping backwards/forwards just to really see how similar things looked between GTA V & IRL!🤯👍👏

Wow. That's one of the better videos I've seen detailing GTA vs real life. I've never been to LA, but between GTA, movies like Terminator 2, and shows like SWAT, there's a LOT of stuff I want to see there. I can't wait until I can visit. Gonna have to spend like a week there.

Imagine living on spruce Street and going like yo I am from the hood

6:58 GTA:SA graphics looks better than I remember... 😂

Nice video! Sugestion: GTA 3 / GTA 4 and New York City real life comparison?

"ALL YOU NEED TO DO WAS TO FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ!"

The lengths people went to build the stuff from GTA is insane lmao

I love all the comparison videos you do. It would be awesome to compare LS on GTA SA with what it was LA back in 1992 and how it looks nowadays on GTA V. You can tell in the movie Colors of the very early 90s, GTA SA LS looks the same as what LA looked back then, but that's a whole lot of work. Anyway from GTA SA to GTA V you can see how Los Santos/Los Angeles evolved. Awesome job as always!!!

6:13 7:00 says ‘LS, GTA SA’. Even himself can’t tell the difference XD

0:49 Who else imagine living in CJ's actual house and people will knock on the door asking if CJ's home?

4:18 look at the airplane😂

It's interesting how GTA:SA and GTA:V share so many of the same landmarks but have completely different names.

6:59 THAT’S GTA San Andreas?!

I think sometimes video games have better textures than real life 💀

Could've sworn that the Maze Bank Arena was based off The Forum in Inglewood, not the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Never appreciated GTA 5 graphics this much. It's been 8 years

This was very well done! I hope you'll do the same with locations in San Fierro (Francisco) and Las Venturas (Vegas) as well.

I still love how Los Santos Looks at night in GTA V

The back of the vine wood hills is picture-accurate as well, especially where that weird crop area is which really is there irl! Noticed it while playing flight sim, it’s literally a small scale LA with some modifications, but I was shocked to see that entire vine wood mountain range is accurate!

Real life looks like RTX ON.

3:32 something wrong that's gta v not gta san andreas 😅🤔

I live 20 mins outside of LA and work in the area alot. I know all the places in GTA V is based at and it's very accurate. The only thing I would fix here is that the arena is more based on the Staple Center instead of the coliseum

Wow.. never thought GTA 5 matches real life this good

GTA SA, is my favourite game in years...18 years later and people still play it...BUT, ive never seen a compare like it again. Rockstar did a hell of a job back then with the graphics and the locations, if you consider that the tecnhology was just developing! RESPECT

Fact that "W" on Hollywood sign is asymmetric

6:12 gta San Andreas???? Tf you got? The ps7 version????

Absolutely love seeing references to real locations in video games! Incredible!

Great comparison video. I'd be curious to see the same real life sites now compared to 1992, when SA is set.

5:33 LOOK AT THE LEFT TOP - there wrote GTA V, But this place in GTA SA

Really shows you how much Rockstar went into detail with gtav

I haven't played GTA V since I owned a PS3 (2015'ish) but now I kinda want to go get a new copy and re-live the glory. Amazing game back in the day. I called in sick for work for two days in a row when I first bought it lol

amazing, comparison is the best way to see differences. GTA V have sometimes problems with seamless tiles but I hope real world pictures are just a leak of GTA VI :D

I live in LA and I can tell you there is tons of other smaller locations in GTA V like the Comedy Club, Hollywood Reservoir, Rodeo Drive, Third St Promenade, Echo Park to name a few. The details are insane when you know LA! But awesome video!

It’s so cool to see grove st irl

You made a really good video man, congrats.

For a game almost 10 years old, the graphics are amazing. Imagine what GTA6 will be like 🤯

I skipped forward in the video and ended up at 3:03 and genuinely thought this was the real life picture (only looking at the ground, not NPC or cars)

Gta sa music 8s fire 🔥 😍

nice vid bro i want a part 2 .

Great work, bro 👏🏽👏🏽

I start watching Your videos have a very interesting information 🇵🇱Grettings from poland🇵🇱

They did a good job re creating places and monumental spots but if you live in LA you know the maps are super watered down compared to how it really is set up. And in gta v they basically left out most of south and east LA, they left out most of the valley, they completely left out santa clarita & the antelope valley and skipped right into what appears to be Rosamond (gta v desert town).

7:08 this really shows how much they had to squish everything together just to get it on such a small island

spruce street, compton is now added to my CA bucket list so i can say i've really been to grove street

This is the reason why I don't mind waiting for GTA 6 as long as R* stays with their ideals and keeps the impeccable story elements and visual details. I hope they don't worry about online much and make GTA 6 a single player game at the start again.

Only mistake i think is the Los Santos Forum/Maze Bank Arena, that's definitely the Great Western Forum in Inglewood

Now I know why it's taking a long time for GTA 6... the details matter to amaze + blow peoples minds ! Cause this video did just that..... what, the, heck. !!!! They're good !

You deserve more love for your work ❤

7:34 why San Andreas look kinda realistic in this pic

After Playing GTA SA Definitive Edition, GTA 5 looks more realistic than ever

I love your intro man♥️😎🚬

its nice knowing these locations

I work at rockstar and they said that Los Angeles is actually a entire studio and that's how GTA 6 is gonna look like in the next 35 years 😳

8:13 Bruh this isn't even close to LA. This interchange is in Shanghai... The LA counterpart is the Bill Keene Memorial Interchange instead.

Greta video! Please compare GTA 6 to Miami when it comes out

Love it man

Theme Buildings are for GTA V

My first trip to Los Angeles, I found that I knew every way.

For Los Santos Forum, you should’ve added ‘The Forum’ aswell because they connected both stadiums

big respect to Rockstar for making Los Santos into an actual city in real life

For anyone watching this in 2022, just think about how good GTA5 graphics are, even in it's PS3/Xbox360 versions, when compared with GTA SA. Well, there's a 9 year difference between both games's original releases, so it's understandable how there is such a huge difference. But the same time has passed since GTA5 first released, and we still have at least 2 more years untill GTA 6, it better be the best looking game of tha year.

Just amazing!

This is so cool man! I can travel LA in my GTA game T.T

Griffith Observatory, LS GTA SA HAHA, nice

For a moment, I thought the whole video was gonna be different ferris wheel angles 🤣

Vinewood GTA and Hollywood IRL look the same ;)

It's good to see that rockstar is making maps bigger and bigger to play and for more missions than gta sa

Same here. Just visited LA for the first time last week, and I was surprised how well I k de how to get around just based off the game.

Devs: "How obvious should our copy of L.A. become?" Mr Houser: "Yes"

EPIC!!!!!!

The Los Santos Forum was based off the Great Western (now Chase) Forum in Inglewood.

The Forum, is actually the old lakers forum located in Inglewood Which is like 45 minutes out from LA, it goes by the name great western forum or Inglewood forum.

Has lo mismo pero con Liberty City de GTA 3, 4 y New york

4:57 I jumped off that building so many times in GTA : SAN ANDREAS that I probably would be tempted in real life

You've never been to that place, but you know every single place...strange XD I really want to visit there

Its funny, I visited my brother in la, and when we were driving around he asked me for directions to something, I because I had played gta sa and 5 I could tell him roughly what streets to take lmao

7:05 this gta sa music feels me sad Every time I listen to this, I get sad

0:35 that's eye candy, like graphics mod, it has been edited to make the colors more colorful

Great job 👍🏽

Wow comparison GTA Sa vs Gta V vs Remastered Looks promising

Do gta 3 city vs gta 4 city vs new york city

GTA SA: Just put those buildings somewhere. GTA V: Hey, look on google, and put those buildings on proper locations.

This was great! Please do Gta3 4 and then irl next!

The arena was a tough one to do I’m sure considering SA was based off of The Forum and GTA V was based off of the Coliseum exterior. I would’ve done a comparison of all four. Great vid overall though.

3:19 Did I Just Saw Doom From The Right Side?

Plot twist: Real life is actually GTA 6

Amazing bro....... 🤩

Yoooo, GTA VI be lookin clean AF
