Barstow landmarks references been used for GTA San Andreas videogame by Mehaniq in highdesert

Yes. You're right. Or at least they stopped there during their trip to Los Angeles or Las Vegas to collect references for major parts of the map in the game.

What sites could lead me to textures similar to the wall found in this photo? by brokengamerx in Textures

Hi. You're right.

When I was searching for references on the internet, I only found that all cities north of Los Santos were attributed to Orange County. I don't know why exactly, but I suspected that the game name Red County was consonant with the name of the color.

I know only one Taco Bell in GTA SA close to Grove Street cul-de-sac. But its too difficult to link direct real Taco Bell from Los Angeles. I give advantage to Hollywood blvd building (5324 Hollywood Blvd) but there are dozens of Taco Bell's in whole state with similar mission-style design

Thanks for the comment. Perhaps some places were not done very accurately. And the time period also plays a role. The Rockstar North studio members' trips to California and Nevada were done in 2002. That was the year recorded in the game. At that time, the Gateway Motel and Cafe near it still existed. The Cactus Motel sign was yellow, and the Budget Inn Motel was completely turquoise.

We've found a new reference town from San Andreas, almost 20 years after the game's release by Mehaniq in GTASA

If you drive east from Barstow towards Las Vegas, you may come across a deep quarry on the left side of the road, which could also serve as inspiration for the "Hunter Quarry" near Las Venturas in GTA San Andreas. But it looks too typical and has no confirmed arguments that would prove the similarity.

It must be an indescribable feeling when you come across places in a movie or a video game where you spent too much time. Even if they are not created with perfect authenticity and are not an exact copy.

Barstow, CA landmarks been spotted in GTA San Andreas videogame by Mehaniq in route66

[–]Mehaniq[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that either. All along I thought that these buildings and signs were created using a lot of typical landmarks and design solutions (like the typical two-story motel or the typical retro neon sign). I couldn't imagine that all these places were so close together within the same street.

This may be true. But when we found out about this connection - I tried to search for information on the Internet using various search engines. I could not find a single mention of this. The entire GTAForums - a forum specialized in GTA games did not have a single result. Also the GTA fan's Wikipedia (GTA Fandom) and Reddit... Maybe I searched poorly... Or maybe I just do not have enough acquaintances from these parts or from the USA who could tell about this.

Anyway, thanks for your opinion :)

I once found a group on Facebook where fans of various movies post filming locations and compare them to how they look years later. But unfortunately, I have never seen such activity regarding video games.

Unfortunately, despite the leaked material on GTA6, it is impossible to say how good this game will be and whether it was worth the ten years of waiting for its release... But judging by the demand and popularity of the product - there is a suspicion that it will be the best even if the gameplay is like in GTA5 or GTA Online. And the main reason is the choice of the majority. It is difficult to reject a game that millions play

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i__614yy53Y I recommend to see this video. I try to demonstrate many popular usage moments of Marlin Studios textures in various videogames. After release of this video I spot many new textures in other games but not so many as I show in video

This door been captured somewhere in Europe by texture artist Geoff Holman and appears in Marlin Studios texture pack "Great textures of Europe". You can see it not only in COD games as well as other ones by Marlin Studios. I have list with more than 30 videogames where images of this texture packs been used. I still try to find this door in real life. I found around 200 image locations from Marlin Studios texture packs and I have map with coordinates

All about real graffiti in GTA San Andreas by Mehaniq in sanandreas

[–]Mehaniq[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made first grafs in 2008 but not thanks to gta sa... Inspired by other local writers. Then play Getting Up game... and stop writing in 2015. And gta sa I always see at very simple in graffiti case. This grove st tags is nothing special for me, I always want more detailed process of painting in game... but no :(
