I Played Grand Theft Auto in Real Life 

The fact the the Rockstar team went to this level of effort to mirror real life pixel for pixel, makes me wonder how many details GTA 6 will have

“Get off my property or I’m calling the cops” - The Los Angeles experience

No wonder GTA6 is taking a decade to complete. It's all about the detail!

1:10 I think there are two reasons: 1. Because its fun to make an enviroment as immersive as possible, even when its a buttload of work 2. for the people that actually pick up on these details (which you can be sure about because human can become quite obsessive over.... anything, really)

I love this format. It’s like the macOS wallpaper videos, but with GTA.

"Get off my property or I'm calling cops" :D Must have been real Michael 😂

Great video, watched the whole thing, i want to visit these places one day like america / la in general

5:47 NAWW JIT TRIPPIN THAT CRAZY MAN JUST VIOLATED BIG SMOKE

Wow, this is an amazing production! Nice job man

There is reasons why GTA V last 10 years still being played by most gamers. This is one of them. Their dedication in making games is pure passion. Can't wait for GTA VI(ce City). Hope they take their time to create another masterpiece

I don't live there anymore, but I grew up in SoCal. The details are so tiny yet so impactful, that the world of San Andreas feels like a real place, and that's why after 10 years, it's still a great game to play. It always feels like coming home to a friend, and it's these details that make that happen. It gives us a sense of familiarity and longing when we aren't there. I play other games but always find my way to GTA. The next game is going to be a masterpiece as well. Just think about all the things they've learned from GTA V and will be able to implement. I'm in no hurry, but I am anxious to see the new world waiting for us.

1:20 "feels like even when you turn off the game the city still running" bro the same building been under construction for over 10 years

4:22 the guy was probably tired from ppl coming to his house asking that lmao

Imagine living in Michaels house in real life and playing the game without knowning anything about it.. Like I can't imagine how scared and amazed I'd be lmaoo

Imitating real life really helps immersion. That's one of the lowkey awesome things about GTA5. Not just replicating LA, but also the subtle details in the nps, from the variety of people to even the animals.

Wow, the advance arrangement of this route and the correspondence between the game and the real scene require a lot of editing and time. It's amazing, well done.

Wow, Andrew, storytelling here is just amazing. You guys rock! The part with lambo - switching between real-life and game footage is so engaging. Keep up the great work. I know how hard it is to produce high quality content and spend enormous amount of hours at one video, but in long term perspective - it is so wroth it! Wishing you guys all best!

At 6:49 what the game calls Mount Chiliad is called Mount San Jacinto, located in Palm Springs. I actually visited the aerial tramway when I was on vacation in Southern California once and seeing it referenced in GTA V and in this video is awesome! The view from the top is spectacular of course but what’s really amazing is the climate difference between bottom and top. Mount San Jacinto is 10,000 feet tall, the tramway starts at a base elevation of 2,000 feet and ends at 8,000 feet. At the bottom it was 110 degrees, at the top 70 degrees. Just think about that for a minute! In the span of an altitude difference of 6,000 feet the temperature difference between bottom and top was 40 degrees! Amazing, isn’t it? Anyway, cool video. The little details are just awesome and amazing. No matter how many times you play it there’s always something new to be discovered, something you never really paid much attention to

This is one of the best researched “in real life” videos I’ve seen on YT that didn’t come from a multi-million dollar budget cable show (even compared to that it’s much better!). Many props for going out and finding all this. I’ve been stuck in Palm Springs for the past two years and even played through GTA V in that time and didn’t even make the connection to the tram. As a software engineer myself, it gives me a headache just thinking about how much work they have to put into this level of detail (and that’s not even on the software side), game development is so much more involved than movies or tv could ever be now! That’s why we have to wait a decade between releases now. I sure hope they don’t forget about my favorite game series ever - Red Dead Redemption, just because GTA is a gigantic cash-cow (well deserved though). Rockstar is amazing. Sometime it does worry me how stuck you can get into a world like this. I can remember 20 something years ago playing GTA 3 when I was 16 and after a few nights of wreaking havoc, I’d go out driving and be tempted to start running over people on the sidewalk. Lol

It’s literally games like GTA V and Marvel’s Spider-Man that makes the game feel more immersive with the smallest details. It feels like you’re actually touring LA and NYC from your home!

This content is so great but underated. You truely deserve more recognition.

seriously one of the most underrated channels out here, keep up the amazing work dude!

2:48 :everything looked like grand theft auto but there was only one way to make it feel like grand theft auto: starts shooting people

Same with the game The Division 2. The developers recreated D.C in a 1:1 scale mirroring the real city, but in the game's universe. Completely wild the unnoticed details devs put into these games.

Surprised you actually rang the guys doorbell for Michaels house.

wtf is wrong with RU-vid. dude your content is pure gold made with great effort and enthusiasm. you can tell the difference between quality content and the trash that RU-vid keeps recommending. keep up the good work. you will get what you deserve.

Some of my family is from the LA area and I visit there a lot. When I started playing GTA I was stunned, it's really an incredible recreation.

That “get off my property or I’m calling the cops” is the equivalent to “STOP SHOOTING ROCKETS AT MY HOUSE”

THIS IS SO GOOD

Okay after this I understand why GTA 6 is taking forever.

Honestly. Rockstar's GTA entries from 3 onward really set the bar for me with respect to open world environments. The adds, the stores, the npc dialogue... hell the fucking GAME MANUAL back when they included them. All money.

This and rdr2 have an incredible amount of detail focused on them and I wish that companies made more games like it. It’s really difficult to find more like it other than battlefield and it’s so sad Great video

This video really make me appreciate the hard work rockstar devs put into there games for us, I’m grateful for this

The amount of effort and time you guys put into creating this video is quite inspiring.

I play Gta V Online since 2015 and it was very nice to watch this video and see the real things 😅 I feel like i know Los Santos/Los Angeles better than the city i live in. Maybe one day i will come and visit. Nice video ! I liked and subscribed 👍🏻😃

the level of detail is nothing short of amazing and i do really appreciate the effort.

As always the editing and storytelling is unparalleled! The algorithm will bless you one day soon, trust 🙌

This is legit "big content creator" stuff. Really high quality and well made. I really don't understand how you're not at a mil subs and stuff like that. I guess that's RU-vid for you, but dang do you deserve way more recognition than this. This was insane!!

Hey man this is awesome, ive never been to LA so i have always been curious to know how everything in the GTA map compares to the real thing. Im sure alot of people including myself had no idea that R* truly went above and beyond on recreating everything, despite it being a scaled down version it is still impressive.

my favorite place in los santos is ganton grove st. but ballas are guarding it when big smoke betray grove st.

my guy!! you have to blow up asap. viewers, let’s share this to our friends and tell em to share it to their friends. do whatever to get this quality content out there!

This takes "Touching Grass" To a whole new level

Your other GTA video was recommended to me earlier today and I've watched this and your RDR2 videos! The level of production you put into these videos are truly amazing! These videos made me miss playing GTA V and RDR2!

I live just outside LA, and I have visited a lot of the places in the game. R* really poured their heart and soul into it and it really captures the reality of LA and what makes it great, and not so great. Its raw and real, and allows a lot of people who dont live here to experience it as if they were right here.

I can't believe there is a city based of GTA V

3:35 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love this video. I actually felt confused as I could not distinguish between the game and some of the footage when I first saw it. Kudos to you for uploading this.

Still waiting for you to play Grand Theft Auto IV in Real Life. I'd love it if you put the same amount of passion and dedication into putting this much effort in comparing Los Santos and Los Angeles side by side, the same way with Liberty City and New York City. The Land Of Opportunity awaits your welcoming visit.

Amazing content man! I’ve been playing a lot of gta this year and I’ve always wanted an updated video comparing the cities!! 😁😁

This is getting difficult now to make difference between gta and real 😂

I wanted to suscribe again in return for the great production I just saw, congrats! You definitely deserve more followers

5:30 that ad you slid into the comedic effect of ad in game was fucking fire.. subscribed.

this is one of the best videos I've seen about gta v irl. this needs 5 mil views asap

Andrew is basically free guy at this point

Great video as always man!

Great video! This has blown my mind how much effort they went through. After years, I've came back to the GTA V story recently and have been addicted all week... Now I have a good PC build I can appreciate it smoothly and at its best quality. But I've been sucked in to every small detail and just wandering around looking at things within the game. Seeing this video is crazy, makes me appreciate it way more.

Ever since this guy remade the macos wallpapers I can't stop watching. Truly an amazing channel that definitely puts in effort

This video should have a million views at the very least. You're underated as hell, Keep up the good work!

hey man just came across your vids... fkn AMAZING skills.. very impressive... lovin ur work man.. wish the game developers had your passion. subscribed!

I was recently in LA and it was going to all the places I’ve been to a thousand times in GTA! Rockstars did a fantastic job of cramming as much as possible into their miniaturized version of the city!

I cannot believe this video does not have way more views. The production quality is AMAZING.

sick vid as always boys. ya love to see it.

so beautiful edited, great stuff man, and the colors are perfect, these video are golden, come on YT algorythm

best vid of this topic I've seen good job dude.

Don’t stress that views are low right now, this is such a strong concept. Great ever green content, this will blow up in a few weeks - just like part 1. Keep it up bro! 💪🏻

You are actually underrated this man will blow up In subscribers some day

This video genuinely made my day. Thanks!

1:01 I can't lie, I couldn't tell you which one's the real one.

Me who can’t even notice the difference between the game and irl footage cuz this graphics is really a head of its time

Making all of the landmarks was a bit easier I’m sure because they did it once in 2008 for Midnight Club LA

honestly an amazing video for what sub count u have. love it man, and i can see u put to much effort into it.

2:20 - at this point I am watching your vid and impressed with the level of detail you have gone into to create this, dang, impressive!

8:11 renta what? 🤣

soo cool to see that some people have build a city from a game

Amazing video, I didn't expect this much effort put on this video by looking into thumbnail etc.. You made truly fascinating work, well done 👏

1:15 Is that the ship that blocked the suez canal lol

we are waiting for part 3

these details is why i love driving aroung and exploring places in the game

Amazing video keep up the content!

its nice that they made an whole city based on a game

0:02 "GET THE F**K OUT!!!"

This is a SUPER DOPE video!!! Thank you I sincerely enjoyed this! 👍🏽

ngl this was an awesome video! great job!

Real life is gta 6

I still don't understand why this video doesn't have more than 10 million views. Is perfect

By far the most impressive production I've came across on RU-vid. As other mention, yes the expectation is VERY high on GTA 6 now. (Also very happy to see tale of us on that radio station, makes me wanna go and buy GTA 5 once again haha!)

i also appreciate the effort you put into this video!

I went to LA last month and I confirm I knew exactly where I was from playing GTA lol.

Can’t even imagine how much time it took to edit the whole thing🔥🔥🔥

This is the first time I’ve ever watched a channel and it genuinely made me wanna subscribe … great content dude !

Crazy wild video! Thanks for sharing!

I bet the guy who you asked if he knows he lives in Michael gets that everyday lol

This is why nobody will ever surpass Rockstar in making modern-day open worlds.

This Vide & Rockstar is a Major W ⭐️

man with this video I wish you best of luck that you must cross 100 tousand million views otherwise I would take the tank and boom up the youtube headquarters, Best of Luck my boy

I remember going to Santa Monica beach in LA and being astonished with how much the game copied. They literally copied individual houses down to details such as what colour the stairs were.

guys lets help andrew buy that lamborghini he wanted

I never knew... thanks for sharing, it was pretty awesome to find out though. Tip of the ol' hat to Rock Star on the level of detail... wow!

8:02 this could be an album cover💀

4:14 imagine that the name of that house owner in real life is also Michael
