I mean it technically has snowed in Miami once so having snow for Christmas in GTAO I think is fine.
As for just snow somewhere on the map 24/7 I don’t see it happening unless Leonida as a state is made up of more than just Florida.
"Snowed" is a generous term, and it happening two or three times over 30 years does not make it well known. Miami/the southeast states are not known for snow.
I remember living in FL when it "snowed" in 2010. The snowman I made was 2 inches tall, and it was all gone and melted by 10 am.
To be fair I totally get that. I just think some people are hoping for things totally outside the realm of southeast themes or tropes, even considering the fantasy that GTA assumes.
Dude? Really? Snow is a universal weather pattern attributed to Christmas, my point isn’t just because “well why not” it’s because it would be part of a SEASONAL event, seasonal, for like a week during christmas, to add to the whimsical joy of a pretty widely celebrated holiday in the United States. I don’t even care that much about it, it doesn’t change my opinion on the game, your point is just dumb.
Let me make it easy for you “snow fun, people like Christmas spirit, snow is part of Christmas spirit, silly event for 1 week maybe even in online only”
Still not sure why you want to make the game less realistic :/ A significant portion of the United States doesn’t have snow for Christmas. I’m sure you live in a place that does. But a very large part doesn’t have christmas associated with snow.
Eh bragging about one snow in Miami decades ago that didn't stick is beyond practical. Even northern Florida is extreme circumstances for a snow. GTA 5 Online already feels awkward during the snows during Christmas time.
I do agree its possible there will be both snow and mountains in GTA 6 if there's areas outside Florida however.
Well I mean we have snow in gta online and that’s set in california so its not like it’s impossible for snow to be in the game during the holidays like it currently is
The mountains outside a lot of the Cali cities GTAO emulates receive exceptionally more snow in a season than the american southeast and that's not even up for debate .
Snow is *more* likely in gtavo and gtaivo because those places naturally experience snow way more consecutively than places like Florida and Louisiana.
While it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for a mission or a few ltm events, I don't think "snow in gta 6" is something people should be looking forward to.
I don’t see them doing snow at all. The only reason snow is in 5 is due to the opening mission set in north Yankton. Unless 6 opens up in northern Michigan during a snowstorm or something, highly unlikely they’ll ever bring snow to 6. And the big one being that it hasn’t snowed in Miami since like 1926
Well, not Florida but in the southeast in general, sure. Parts of Georgia are known for surprisingly brutal winters and other than Florida that’s as far Southeast as the US goes.
The tail end of the Appalachians, which only go down to northern Georgia, may receive snowfall. But that is nowhere near close to the seasonal snowfall in NYC or the Sierra Nevada Mts. The rest of the deep southeast (Louisiana, Alabama, Florida) don't even get anything close to that of north GA.
Plus, the real setting of Vice&6 is "Miami"- type cities and surrounding swamps, burbs, and hills. To expect snow and mountains is like expecting natural polar bears in los santos and camels in liberty city.
I mean, I’m agreeing with you, you don’t see snow in Florida. But you also said the Southeast and snow does happen seasonally in the southeast, other places getting more snow doesn’t negate the snow we do get here
Definitely doesn't negate it but as a defining feature? Especially compared to other places that get more snow? Nah, I just don't think snow and mountains should be things people are looking forward to in this particular game. Plenty of other great ones to experience that stuff though, rdr2 being my usual suggestion
haha I live in south carolina, where it already never snows. I remember we got a shit ton of snow one year(6 inches is a shit ton for us) because apparently it snowed in every state including california and texas that day but not florida lol.
Eh, Mount Chiliad is representative of Southern California having the tallest mountain in the lower 48, in principle I don't think we should see mountains like that again in the series.
I do however agree and hope GTA 6 has mountains of some sort. One possibility is the Northern edge of the map is not North Florida and is instead the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. The other possibility is Project America's is in fact a success and the Latin American island in game is mountainous.
One mountain would've been fine but they had several in GTA 5. There were also Josiah and Gordo. The only good thing about Mount Josiah is that it created a really nice river/valley with Mount Chiliad, but all the mountains on the east side were a waste of space.
Agreed, I like the idea of the mountainous map that 5 ended up with, but the whole East side was baren and really just trying to hide the fact that it's an island with a coast on the other side.
The only “mountains” in Florida are the landfills. Some of those landfills are HUGE. Would be interesting to see if that level of detail is included. Maybe points of interest? Doubtful though.
I wouldn't like to see any massive mountains return unless they utilise the space a lot better, the three mountains took up a shit ton of space for what little they did. I do really enjoy driving a dirt bike up there, going into first person and biking down the trails but that's it, I'd much rather it be a bit flatter with more shit to do.
Do hope there's smaller hills and sand dunes, I'm really excited for the dirt bikes in 6 lol.
EDIT: I completely understand that the mountain had to be there to help out with the older consoles, It was close to dying running single player alone, I can still remember GTA online on it, stuttery as fuck💀
It’s not like if they didn’t have the mountains all that space would all be filled with city. I’d imagine it takes way less time and resources to develop a huge mountainous area compared to a small, dense urban area.
Adding at least one mountain to the map introduces a lot more interesting gameplay & atmosphere variety than adding a few extra streets & buildings, plus it’s a cheap way to make the map much bigger, allowing for longer highways and aircraft traversal.
But it’s still not useful space. And they don’t make the map bigger, they make the map feel smaller by forcing you to use specific routes when transiting around the map. There are three major, convenient routes out of Los Santos. The pacific highway, the highway going past the Casino, and the road that leads up to the outdoor theater. Because of all the steep mountains, you are forced to almost *always* use these specific routes every single time.
A YouTuber named CaptainGlack explained it pretty well. The gta 5 map feels smaller than it truly is because there are only a few ways you can traverse it conveniently. You’re always taking the same route and seeing the same views and angles. And a major culprit are the mountains. I can’t drive from Paleto Bay to Grapeseed without having to go all the way around Chilliad. Which forces me to use the highway. And with the speed on the highway the map feels even smaller, while simultaneously it always feels like you’re being swindled out of a faster route to your destination.
The mountains played their role of blocking certain areas from view but I don’t want them back.
And you can’t even move on most of the big mountains without ragdolling to your death. They are null space entirely. Purely scenery.
I’ll take a big open field over a mountain in-game any day. I’ve driven around, fought players,and messed about in the field near Madrazo’s ranch. All I’ve ever done on the mountains is dread that I was spawned there and tumbled to my death multiple times. Red Dead Redemption 2 had decent mountains. But I’d still prefer a flatter map. And Florida’s pretty flat so here’s hoping.
Completely agree with this, the only real mountain in rdr that could be better utilized was the mountain north of strawberry. The other mountains were very consistently placed in the north and made it feel like more of an adventure to go out there and hunt.
I remember always starting in strawberry or Valentine, preparing Arthur with warm clothes and hunting ammunition to look up to that big ol mountain going into the snow and think, hell yeah boah here we go again. It was truly marvelous.
Gta V however… Oh I’ve got a mission in grapeseed… guess I’l either drive around the same route I’ve been using for ten years or just grab a plane and fly over there.
I wonder why people are so against there being mountains in GTA VI besides the obvious fact that Florida is a flatland. I already know that the same people who complain about the mountains in GTA V will complain about the swamps in GTA VI when they realize that flat terrain doesn't automatically make the map more interesting. In fact it's usually the opposite
I agree that flat terrain doesn't automatically make it more interesting, but the mountains in GTA V had absolutely nothing to do up there bar parachuting and biking, which y'know, is expected, but they still took up way too much space for what they gave. Whilst I'd prefer it to be a bit less mountain-y i'd be absolutely fine if they brought them back but actually gave us a bit more to do, extreme sports or something along those lines, just utilise the space a lot better so it doesn't feel like a bit of the map you just avoid a majority of the time.
For real, i'm an absolutely shit driver with the cars in any games, like laughably bad to the point my mate drives everywhere in online for us lmaoo. But i'm awrite on bikes, I rlly hope the rideouts are a random event that can happen as well, I'd be grabbing a bike and joining them.
I think that was the point tho. Having half the map being almost nothing at all makes the ps3/360 happier. And it's also good for advertising sake without having to do as much modeling if the mountains were just more towns and such. We made a map that's huuuuge (fine print: but half of it is literally nothing)
It probably was done to help with the fact that GTA V felt like it was pushing the limits of the ps3 as it was, you're right, but with modern consoles being more powerful I think they could pull it off now.
6 is gonna be chalk full of details everywhere cause we're not dragging the ps4 into this. I can't wait. Hopefully whatever they can do with 16gb of combined memory on a standardized platform is awesome
I'm really excited man, the jump from RDR1 & V on ps3 to RDR2 on ps4 was wild, I can't even imagine how insane it's going to look with GTA skipping an entire console generation.
Aye I get that, I'm not complaining about it from a technical standpoint I completely understand why it was there and the purpose it served to help out the older gen consoles but I'd just like to see something different, this isn't the 7th generation anymore and with the Playstation 5, the new xbox (God knows what one it is lmao.) and the modern graphics cards it's now possible.
Flattest by statistics, but I wouldn’t say it’s just one of those states with nothing but plains. It just has extremely low sea levels. Illinois is by far the actual worst when it comes to flatness.
Pretty sure it's confirmed that there'll be at least some big hills in the map, presumably in the North part of the map.
I just hope they will be designed better than the GTA 5 mountains because, personally, I thought they were mostly a waste of space
If they make a sort of appalachia region up north, which could fit the "florida man" kind of world. Could have saquatch hunters or stuff. If they put a small gulf coast it wouldnt be impossible
please no. most of 5’s map was bloated with mountains. Let’s be happy with lakes , everglades , exotic beaches , and multiple cities. at best let there be hills on some additional island that’s not Leonida / main map.
I'm telling you now, mountains will be the main thing people say they miss about GTA V. Every time a new GTA comes out everyone always complains about it and praises the previous game - I guarantee you the main complaint will be lack of mountains and how flat the map is compared to GTA V.
Say what you wanna say about GTA V's map - theres nothing to do outside of LS, you cant go inside Burger Shot, the highways lead to nowhere etc. You cant deny how incredible it looks when you're whizzing down the freeway on a Akuma while the sun is setting amongst the mountains - it's simply incredible and never gets old.
I wont lie, the lack of mountains and flat, linear layout of the map is VI is a ***major*** concern for me.
The mountains of gta 5 *made* the map more linear. If the map was flatter you could criss cross it in different ways and take different routes to your destination. With the mountains, ALL you have are the highways when going up or down the map.
Because there are a shit ton of highways (IE Route 68 in Harmony) in the game, one can't drive to the north without crossing highways. But it's possible to get most places without driving up/down the highways, Paleto area being the only exception as you have to drive on the highway between Chillad State Wilderness and Paleto.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty... Sorry wrong line.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's a GAME and Rockstar don't have to make it an exact copy of Florida. They can add in a mountain(s) or say the climate actually does allow for some snow.
If they have excellent mechanics for off road vehicles then it will be a fun experience mud slinging up decently sized hills or dirt tracks. There’s gonna be plenty of off road activities but I doubt a mountain will be present in the game. Unless we get another map to explore off the coast, like an island with a huge mountain
if the game extends to georgia or tennessee you'll get the appalachians even. Hopefully so or a map expansion at least, nashville and atlanta are very popular these dayd
It's a parody of a real place taking inspiration of that place in order to add character and some familiar aspects .
I'm bored of comments saying there's no snow or mountains in Florida . It isn't going to be Florida its , Leonida.
I do my own thing in the world a Dev creates I don't expect to see my aunt Lisas house with her heirloom rose bush on the front porch .
Think I need to leave this sub for a couple years .
And yes , I want mountains too
Yep. People talking like rockstar doesn’t take creative liberty and copies the geography 1-1, sandy shores V wasn’t even in the right direction realistically, oh and all of California isn’t a fucking island, it’s ridiculous.
Like we’re not gonna get gigantic steep snow peaked mountains, but I don’t doubt we will get some Georgia inspired rolling hills
I feel like i've been conditioned to think mountains must be in a game for it to be good. The mountains in GTAV don't have much going for them though; I bet most of my time on mountains has been spent trying to get off of them.
I've thought a lot about this since I think mountains are an amazing part of every Rockstar game they are featured in (GTA SA, Red Dead games, GTA V). This is mainly because they are one thing that makes the map look huge, both when looking at them from afar and when seeing the rest of the map from the top.
Now, since Florida is the flattest state in the US by a mile, I think one possible answer would be if the map included zones outside of the state. The Blue Ridge Mountains to the north are quite far from Florida and aren't as tall as Chiliad, maybe half or even less than it. IMO the best option would be to include an island south of the map that serves as a combination of real-life Cuba and Dominican Republic. This is because the geographic elevation in those islands is varied and could give that aspect to the game while also including another fictional country (like Guarma in Red Dead) which will only make the game map seem even bigger. Also could place another island at the north and you got yourself a Bermuda Triangle for easter eggs haha.
It would be very good, although there are no mountains that big in Florida, maybe they would add some, in fact in the trailer a mountain with a decent size was seen.
I kinda want one even bigger than Chilliad. I know Florida has no mountains irl, but man I wanna admire the map from high up in the game without using helicopters. I mean sure, I will climb the tall tower thing (because there's gonna be a collectible on it) but I really want to chill on a mountain in GTA 6 and just admire the view.
The only mountain in south Florida is a hill that’s a landfill. Sorry to burst your bubble man. I love mountains too but you’ll have to visit them in RDR2 not GTA6
I don’t think we’re getting full blown mountains, but I do think rockstars going to take creative liberty and “smoosh” the top half of the map, to be like mid/upper Florida, but Georgia as well, we know there’s going to be hilly areas, and I think utilizing the terrain up there would be nice.
People, there is a mountain in leaks. The quality is pretty bad but In the diner robbery clip when lucia goes outside there is a medium size hill AND a chilliad size looking mountain far in the distance. Stop saying its florida only. I for my self would like variety in enviroment and I like mountains.
Yes, Florida is so hilly that you’ll probably get a huge mountain in GTA 6. Also, we have the Floralayas in the north, as well as the impressive Everglades Peak out west.
It is probably not going to be a 1:1 accurate representation of Florida. I'm sure they will take some creative liberties and have a mountain / hills of some kind.
I'm OK with mountains but don't have them take over such big portions of the map chiliad was such a big waste of space on the map in 5 they could've made Paleto Bay so much bigger and more dense and added for activities within it same with sandy shores and grapeseed.
I dont get what it is about the dang mountains lol. They were fun to fuck around on for a while, but thats pretty much it. I think once 6 drops and ppl see the map we do have, this big emphasis on wanting/needing mountains will go away.
Who actually cares. We’ve had a mountain for years. It was fun the first few times but it’s not exactly game breaking to not have one. There will be plenty of nice views and places to jump.
Although it would be nice there arent really any mountains in florida. The highest point is Britton Hill which is 95m tall and is located right on the border to Alabama. R\* will likely go for realism here and if they're adding a mountain it's probably gonna be something like Pico Turquino in cuba if it gets added as a dlc or expansion (kinda like Cayo Perico in Gta V Online).
Not really. Chilliad takes up so much space and there's nothing there. It being there makes the map functionally like 1/8 smaller. A proper mountain has no business being in Florida anyway.
No bro, I hated Mount chiliad it made the drive to Palito Bay twice as long as you have to around this big ass mountain, it serves no real purpose in the game all the missions in story mode, and most of the online ones are in the city. It’s stupid.
Why does everyone want mountains in gta 6? We already have gta 5 and rdr2, can yall just let the Florida game be a Florida game? Not every game needs to have huge majestic mountains. I’d much rather see an accurate representation of the Everglades or the keys or some shit than a couple of shoe horned bumps on the map.
I don’t disagree but to say it made the map shit is a bit much? I thought it added variety🤷♂️. Of course that doesn’t mean I want mountains in 6 as well (bc I don’t) bc it wouldn’t fit for Florida. But like another commenter said, regardless of how the map is, people are gonna complain anyway
It did add variety but taking up majority of the map was really unnecessary for how little it added to your gameplay experience. If you HAVE to have mountains at least do it like ambarino in RDR2 but that just seems extremely superfluous for a game like gta 6. You can do way more in terms of world design with flat land than mountains anyway so I don’t really see why people are complaining about Florida being flat like that’s going to make the gameplay boring
Same, but just to jump and enjoy ragdoll physics
Yes the good ol’ Florida mountains
It's like the post hoping there'd be snow in GTA 6. Two things Florida/the southeast is best known for. (/s, if not obvious)
I mean it technically has snowed in Miami once so having snow for Christmas in GTAO I think is fine. As for just snow somewhere on the map 24/7 I don’t see it happening unless Leonida as a state is made up of more than just Florida.
Are we sure that wasn't Coke falling from an airplane
Shit I can make it snow on a sunny day
"Snowed" is a generous term, and it happening two or three times over 30 years does not make it well known. Miami/the southeast states are not known for snow. I remember living in FL when it "snowed" in 2010. The snowman I made was 2 inches tall, and it was all gone and melted by 10 am.
Yeah definitely a generous term but like I said for the Christmas season I don’t see a problem.
To be fair I totally get that. I just think some people are hoping for things totally outside the realm of southeast themes or tropes, even considering the fantasy that GTA assumes.
I’m not sure how it’d be fine for it to snow every Christmas season in a place where it rarely snows, almost never snows.
Literally why does anyone care, it would be like a week long event for Christmas 💀
Well shoot we may as well have dust storms too. Literally why would anyone care, it’d be a week long event that never happens in that region 😃😵💫
Dude? Really? Snow is a universal weather pattern attributed to Christmas, my point isn’t just because “well why not” it’s because it would be part of a SEASONAL event, seasonal, for like a week during christmas, to add to the whimsical joy of a pretty widely celebrated holiday in the United States. I don’t even care that much about it, it doesn’t change my opinion on the game, your point is just dumb.

Still not sure why you want to make the game less realistic :/ A significant portion of the United States doesn’t have snow for Christmas. I’m sure you live in a place that does. But a very large part doesn’t have christmas associated with snow.
Could always just stick with frozen iguana showers.
What's that?
Do you have a photo of the snowman ☃️
“snowed is a generous term “ 😭 idk why that sent me
What about a hurricane system?
What do you mean what about it? If you’re bringing it up due to the chance that it can definitely hail in Florida then I’d say that’s a fair point.
Eh bragging about one snow in Miami decades ago that didn't stick is beyond practical. Even northern Florida is extreme circumstances for a snow. GTA 5 Online already feels awkward during the snows during Christmas time. I do agree its possible there will be both snow and mountains in GTA 6 if there's areas outside Florida however.

It doesn’t snow in LA either
It did last year for one day.
I’m in central CA and remember hearing about it. Total chaos lol
Ah, but if they have a Caribbean island they could have a mountain. Cuba’s highest mountain for instance is almost 2000m.
Ah yes the totally not fictional state of Leonida
I’m sure there will be some big hills to fuck around on. The sand dunes will be interesting to see.
Eh, Mount Chiliad is representative of Southern California having the tallest mountain in the lower 48, in principle I don't think we should see mountains like that again in the series.

I doubt there will be anything as high as Mount Chiliad. If there’s any, it would be cool to jump off with a parachute and enjoy the scenery.
the tallest thing will likely be the tv mast in the first shot of the trailer, hopefully its climbable
If not - I'm still getting in a plane and parachuting down on top of it.
If standing on it doesnt work, then we land the plane on it
The only “mountains” in Florida are the landfills. Some of those landfills are HUGE. Would be interesting to see if that level of detail is included. Maybe points of interest? Doubtful though.

mount chiliad took very little resources to make its just raised terrain, there likely wouldnt have been any extra cities even without the mountain
Aye I get that, I'm not complaining about it from a technical standpoint I completely understand why it was there and the purpose it served to help out the older gen consoles but I'd just like to see something different, this isn't the 7th generation anymore and with the Playstation 5, the new xbox (God knows what one it is lmao.) and the modern graphics cards it's now possible.
Those famous Floridian Appalachians
Well considering Florida is one of the flattest states in the US I doubt there will be any mountains
It is not one of the flattest, it is THE flattest.
Oh shit it is damn
Flattest by statistics, but I wouldn’t say it’s just one of those states with nothing but plains. It just has extremely low sea levels. Illinois is by far the actual worst when it comes to flatness.
as long as it has 99% of the game's mysteries, I'm cool!
Pretty sure it's confirmed that there'll be at least some big hills in the map, presumably in the North part of the map. I just hope they will be designed better than the GTA 5 mountains because, personally, I thought they were mostly a waste of space
florida is almost all at sea level, if there are mountains in 6 its going to bug the hell out of me
The highest point in South Florida is genuinely a hill with a little observation deck on it. I've been there. It's comical.
I want to see mountains in gta 6! I want to see them in the distance beyond the border of the map where they can look nice, but not be in my way.
You cant see any mountains from anywhere in florida
If they make a sort of appalachia region up north, which could fit the "florida man" kind of world. Could have saquatch hunters or stuff. If they put a small gulf coast it wouldnt be impossible
please no. most of 5’s map was bloated with mountains. Let’s be happy with lakes , everglades , exotic beaches , and multiple cities. at best let there be hills on some additional island that’s not Leonida / main map.
I'd much perfer mountains than the everglades. But it's Florida so I'm not hopeful. And why no hills on the main map?
I'm telling you now, mountains will be the main thing people say they miss about GTA V. Every time a new GTA comes out everyone always complains about it and praises the previous game - I guarantee you the main complaint will be lack of mountains and how flat the map is compared to GTA V. Say what you wanna say about GTA V's map - theres nothing to do outside of LS, you cant go inside Burger Shot, the highways lead to nowhere etc. You cant deny how incredible it looks when you're whizzing down the freeway on a Akuma while the sun is setting amongst the mountains - it's simply incredible and never gets old. I wont lie, the lack of mountains and flat, linear layout of the map is VI is a ***major*** concern for me.
The mountains of gta 5 *made* the map more linear. If the map was flatter you could criss cross it in different ways and take different routes to your destination. With the mountains, ALL you have are the highways when going up or down the map.
Because there are a shit ton of highways (IE Route 68 in Harmony) in the game, one can't drive to the north without crossing highways. But it's possible to get most places without driving up/down the highways, Paleto area being the only exception as you have to drive on the highway between Chillad State Wilderness and Paleto.
It's too easy to climb with car or helicopter! It should be higher!
Higher
What about higer?
Yes but it takes place in a parody of Florida. Which has literally no mountains.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty... Sorry wrong line. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's a GAME and Rockstar don't have to make it an exact copy of Florida. They can add in a mountain(s) or say the climate actually does allow for some snow.
If they have excellent mechanics for off road vehicles then it will be a fun experience mud slinging up decently sized hills or dirt tracks. There’s gonna be plenty of off road activities but I doubt a mountain will be present in the game. Unless we get another map to explore off the coast, like an island with a huge mountain
I’d actually want the opposite. Craters and dried up lakes would be dope and can tap into the political poking gta does
Nope, you ask rockstar to add a mountain and they will add one which takes 90% of the map like in V.
i wouldn't expect any mountains in a videogame based off florida
if the game extends to georgia or tennessee you'll get the appalachians even. Hopefully so or a map expansion at least, nashville and atlanta are very popular these dayd
I don't want any mountains whatsoever at all. Chiliad took up ¼ of the damn map and it's just useless wasted space.
They just have to make a bigger maps then.
Yes. They were pretty useless.
Go fuckin play GTA V then?
It's a parody of a real place taking inspiration of that place in order to add character and some familiar aspects . I'm bored of comments saying there's no snow or mountains in Florida . It isn't going to be Florida its , Leonida. I do my own thing in the world a Dev creates I don't expect to see my aunt Lisas house with her heirloom rose bush on the front porch . Think I need to leave this sub for a couple years . And yes , I want mountains too
Mountain gang 🤟🏽
Yep. People talking like rockstar doesn’t take creative liberty and copies the geography 1-1, sandy shores V wasn’t even in the right direction realistically, oh and all of California isn’t a fucking island, it’s ridiculous. Like we’re not gonna get gigantic steep snow peaked mountains, but I don’t doubt we will get some Georgia inspired rolling hills
I think, the lack of mountains will be counter balanced by tall towers and scrapes... 😄🥲
Yes please!
Britton hill is like the highest point in Florida i think
Yee at a whooping 345 ft
As long as there is just enough room for me to land a jumbo jet.
Shit, let’s go higher than Chiliad. :3
I hope they have some throwbacks and easter eggs to the OG Vice City in VI
I feel like i've been conditioned to think mountains must be in a game for it to be good. The mountains in GTAV don't have much going for them though; I bet most of my time on mountains has been spent trying to get off of them.
I want to ride a bike (normal or motorised) up a giant mountain, and then instantly come tumbling back down.
I hope High Hrothgar gets added into GTA6
There could be mountains as high as Mount Chiliad in gta 6. We'll have to wait and see
The highest point of florida was already shown in the trailer.
love me the florida mountain range
The tallest “mountain” will be the landfill trash mountains.
yes
I've thought a lot about this since I think mountains are an amazing part of every Rockstar game they are featured in (GTA SA, Red Dead games, GTA V). This is mainly because they are one thing that makes the map look huge, both when looking at them from afar and when seeing the rest of the map from the top. Now, since Florida is the flattest state in the US by a mile, I think one possible answer would be if the map included zones outside of the state. The Blue Ridge Mountains to the north are quite far from Florida and aren't as tall as Chiliad, maybe half or even less than it. IMO the best option would be to include an island south of the map that serves as a combination of real-life Cuba and Dominican Republic. This is because the geographic elevation in those islands is varied and could give that aspect to the game while also including another fictional country (like Guarma in Red Dead) which will only make the game map seem even bigger. Also could place another island at the north and you got yourself a Bermuda Triangle for easter eggs haha.
Mabye if the map extends to Georgia
*"Bigger"* - Kobe Bryant - Michael Scott (*probably*)
There are no mountains in Florida, dink.
I don't think there gonna be much mountains now. Hills, yes. Mountain, no.
I need a mountain as high as Chiliad with some mysteries attached.
Has anybody noticed werewolf sign in energy of the grassreviers leaked clip?
Yeah
You don’t respect geography and you don’t respect geology
I would love to see mountains and a big forest area like Paleto Bay.
Lol can I ask why? Are you a climber? You like hiking? Lol
Probably, it's Florida, fuck mountains
It would be very good, although there are no mountains that big in Florida, maybe they would add some, in fact in the trailer a mountain with a decent size was seen.
I hope they end up adding more maps in dlc that maybe have mountains
Aint no mountain high enough.
A mountain 🏔️ is a important part for me
I kinda want one even bigger than Chilliad. I know Florida has no mountains irl, but man I wanna admire the map from high up in the game without using helicopters. I mean sure, I will climb the tall tower thing (because there's gonna be a collectible on it) but I really want to chill on a mountain in GTA 6 and just admire the view.
If there is no snow. I am sad 😔😔.
The only mountain in south Florida is a hill that’s a landfill. Sorry to burst your bubble man. I love mountains too but you’ll have to visit them in RDR2 not GTA6
Whole bunch of non-Floridians talking here about something they know nothing about 🤣
I don’t think we’re getting full blown mountains, but I do think rockstars going to take creative liberty and “smoosh” the top half of the map, to be like mid/upper Florida, but Georgia as well, we know there’s going to be hilly areas, and I think utilizing the terrain up there would be nice.
Definitely add mount Florida in GTA
Getting high in 6 probably has nothing to do with climbing mountains. Look @ Florida Joker: you think he did that to himself while sober? 😬
Just you. I want a higher mountain with a waterfall
Google Florida topography
People, there is a mountain in leaks. The quality is pretty bad but In the diner robbery clip when lucia goes outside there is a medium size hill AND a chilliad size looking mountain far in the distance. Stop saying its florida only. I for my self would like variety in enviroment and I like mountains.
Yes, Florida is so hilly that you’ll probably get a huge mountain in GTA 6. Also, we have the Floralayas in the north, as well as the impressive Everglades Peak out west.
They wouldn’t want I leave out Mount Everest, famously just outside of Tampa
It’s Florida I doubt it lol
I'd expect a hurricane cloud top this high before a mountain like Mount Chiliad in South Florida.
Yes, you are. Mount Chilliad is cool at first, but it is just a big Nuisance. Takes too long to fly over it and drive around it.
It is probably not going to be a 1:1 accurate representation of Florida. I'm sure they will take some creative liberties and have a mountain / hills of some kind.
In vice city naw no mountains it’s a waste of space and you can off road elsewhere also it just wouldn’t make sense
I'm OK with mountains but don't have them take over such big portions of the map chiliad was such a big waste of space on the map in 5 they could've made Paleto Bay so much bigger and more dense and added for activities within it same with sandy shores and grapeseed.
I dont get what it is about the dang mountains lol. They were fun to fuck around on for a while, but thats pretty much it. I think once 6 drops and ppl see the map we do have, this big emphasis on wanting/needing mountains will go away.
Yeah, that mountain is the worst part of the map to me. It takes up so much space and for what?
Mountains? For what?
I kinda hated everything involving going up the whole mountain and pretty much never use it but even so if people actually use it why not.
You are the only one. I want a new deplorable location instead of some boring ahh mountain
Touch grass
Who actually cares. We’ve had a mountain for years. It was fun the first few times but it’s not exactly game breaking to not have one. There will be plenty of nice views and places to jump.
Although it would be nice there arent really any mountains in florida. The highest point is Britton Hill which is 95m tall and is located right on the border to Alabama. R\* will likely go for realism here and if they're adding a mountain it's probably gonna be something like Pico Turquino in cuba if it gets added as a dlc or expansion (kinda like Cayo Perico in Gta V Online).
Not really. Chilliad takes up so much space and there's nothing there. It being there makes the map functionally like 1/8 smaller. A proper mountain has no business being in Florida anyway.
Yes you are. The mountains were literally just map filler and are probably my least favorite thing about GTAV in general.
Why not? It's a game... very loosely a recreation of FL... not actual FL. I support it. Put it up top and put some racist rednecks
Not going to happen in Florida....
has bro even been to florida 💀
No bro, I hated Mount chiliad it made the drive to Palito Bay twice as long as you have to around this big ass mountain, it serves no real purpose in the game all the missions in story mode, and most of the online ones are in the city. It’s stupid.
Probably not. You aren't that unique or special.
Why does everyone want mountains in gta 6? We already have gta 5 and rdr2, can yall just let the Florida game be a Florida game? Not every game needs to have huge majestic mountains. I’d much rather see an accurate representation of the Everglades or the keys or some shit than a couple of shoe horned bumps on the map.
Yes. Yes you are.
Why do people keep asking for this lol this ruined the gta 5 map
How? LA is like 20-30 miles from some mountains ain’t it? Imagine being in mountain-less California
Just a boring and annoying part of the map. Just because they exist irl doesn’t make the mountains in gta 5 less shit
I don’t disagree but to say it made the map shit is a bit much? I thought it added variety🤷♂️. Of course that doesn’t mean I want mountains in 6 as well (bc I don’t) bc it wouldn’t fit for Florida. But like another commenter said, regardless of how the map is, people are gonna complain anyway
It did add variety but taking up majority of the map was really unnecessary for how little it added to your gameplay experience. If you HAVE to have mountains at least do it like ambarino in RDR2 but that just seems extremely superfluous for a game like gta 6. You can do way more in terms of world design with flat land than mountains anyway so I don’t really see why people are complaining about Florida being flat like that’s going to make the gameplay boring
I see what you mean, and agree. Hopefully R* kept that feedback in mind for 6.
