10 Video Game Cities That You Could Mistake for the Real Deal

Grand Theft Auto V (Los Angeles)

The GTA games don’t tend to feature real cities as their settings, instead opting to create fictional cities only based on real ones, like Liberty City, Vice City, and the newest – Los Santos.

The latest installment in the franchise sets itself apart from its predecessors with its own version of LA in Los Santos, as well as the larger area of San Andreas in general. It’s much larger and more realistic than any other GTA city, as well as being fully open to explore from the start.

While it may not be LA itself, it’s a very close facsimile, as the development team used Google Maps projections of Los Angeles to design its intricate network of roads.
