The GTA VI trailer got over 100 million views in just the first 24 hours and broke many Internet records. Like with other GTA trailers, Rockstar Games decided not to reinvent the bicycle. It showed the fans a trailer full of social satire, dark humor, and, of course, references to the most bizarre real-world events fresh out of Florida.
Let’s figure out some of the coolest references the developers have snuck into the GTA VI trailer!
1. Alligator in The Pool
This video on a local social network is a nearly identical recreation of a scene from a report about alligators in Florida swimming pools. Based on the caption, it’s highly likely that this will be an actual job within the game in the near future.
2. Parody Brands
In GTA V, there were parody brands that were received well by the players. It seems like the developers have decided to continue with this concept in the sequel. In the latest trailer, the main female character is seen wearing Sessanta Novae – the GTA’s knock-off brand of Louis Vuitton.
3. Florida Joker
The game’s trailer features an excerpt from a news report about a guy rocking ink on his face and how one of his neck tattoos helped to identify him. This is another faithful recreation of a real-life event that happened in Florida: a man who looks like the Joker is arrested for brandishing a gun.
4. Florida Trumpist
In one clip from what appears to be GTA’s version of TikTok, an elderly man can be seen chilling on a yacht with many hot girls. There is an American flag on the bow of his vessel. One can assume that these shots are a reference to a viral video of Trumpists from Florida doing a yacht run.
