And we are talking, first of all, not about the most famous and sensational skyscrapers that can be seen on every postcard as a visiting card of the city, but about little-known businesses, shops, advertising signs and other finds in the backwoods of the United States, where not a single fan will go to take a selfie. In a few months it will be a year since I got carried away searching for real places from San Andreas, or, one might say, "source places" from which textures were taken or shapes with color solutions were parodied for the future virtual world. Surely everyone remembers the old, soul-warming posts in social networks with screenshots from GTA Vice City, where a few hotels from the in-game Ocean Drive been compared with a real photo of this street in Miami, where the viewer sees the maximum similarity of colors and shapes, despite the fact that the names of these hotels in the game have been changed. Or those that were photographed to create textures for the game from real photographs of a particular city in order to create the illusion of being somewhere there for the local player. But the most interesting thing in the game in terms of architecture and environment, I think is the connection of game buildings with real houses, businesses and places that served as references when creating the map in the game.
Now I show more interest in the principle of the game, it has become much more interesting to find out what, due to what and how it works. As a child, when I first fell into the hands of GTA San Andreas, I visited fictional cities that served only to fill the distance between the player and the next mission checkpoint, or simply an abstract space for anarchy and lawlessness, which this game, in fact, attracted young players (like any other game in the GTA series).
