[[Vice City]] exists in the [[GTA IV era]] and has been mentioned many times in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its [[GTA IV Episodes|episodes]]. It is implied that Vice City is based on the city of [[wp:Miami|Miami]], [[wp:Florida|Florida]], keeping the tradition of basing Vice City off Miami in the GTA series. | [[Vice City]] is one of the fictional locations featured in the GTA series. So far it has two renditions for two era's, one seen in the original GTA, and the other seen in [[GTA Vice City]] and [[Vice City Stories]]. | ||
The city also exists in the [[GTA IV era]], which has started afresh and is the current canon, and so far, only [[Liberty City]] has been seen. It has been mentioned many times in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and its [[GTA IV Episodes|episodes]], along with other locations from the GTA Series, and other Rockstar game titles. As the GTA IV era is apart from the old GTA games and follows a seperate canon, it is likely that Rockstar will redesign the city in the same way they did with Liberty City if it is to make an appearance in a future GTA game. | |||
It is implied that Vice City is based on the city of [[wp:Miami|Miami]], [[wp:Florida|Florida]], and is sometimes refered to as "down south", keeping the tradition of basing Vice City off Miami in the GTA series. | |||
