On 7th July 2021 a Video of the Map was posted on gtaf by an account named "Jim Smith"

What has P to say? Thats the first time he reacted to a map "Leak"

He also posted this in the last fish supper: (Panini from 1986)




So P posted pictures of JAMES Smith and JIM Smith, which could be Brothers, or they are the same person. I cant find any info on that. For me they look the same.

Some Infos about Jim Smith / James Smith, both played at  Dundee in Scotland. Maybe the leaker gives us with this info more to discover...

Jim Smith played from 1981 - 1990 for Dundee (Timespan of an Episode in the Game?)

Cant find anything from James Smith

Dundee:
DMA Design (now R* North) the founders of GTA, Lemmings and more are from Dundee Scotland.

Also there is the Ruffian Games Studio (Now Rockstar Dundee)

The Rumors are, that the Remake/Remaster etc. are made by Rockstar Dundee which could be also hinted at with these tweets, or they working together with the other studios on gta vi:

Today there was another "leak" about the Fred's Fun World.

"Restrooms only open for Piss Pass Users" thats 100% R* Humor

We got also a Sunday Service 11th July 2021 ( ADD LINK ) with maybe some hints towards the "treasure Map"...

This map has me on the fence, I don't think its for GTA VI, but rather E&E or the trilogy remaster.

Interesting that Fred's World matches up with the leak, but the photo was taken last year it seems.

yes im also 50/50 on that, its to small, but remember, the rumours are, that we get more maps and p reacted the first time to a map.

I dont think they would expand the trilogy that much and change the original map.
If they add it in E&E, that would mean that the map would be there and we already played on it before  vi is released. It will be no excitment to the new map, we played it already.





An Idea i had, what if the "Gta Vice City's" Story will be in VI and we play it in VI and not in a seperate game? Like a timeframe between the new story from VI. They will merge both universes

Hallo everyone! It is great to be here.

Whoever made the Fred's World map knows a thing or two, just like the game map leak. Or they did their homework at least.

To me, the wording is a little off-balance.

The "Piss Pass" reference at the base of the image channels the Rockstar vibe, but for the theme park they wouldn't use language as explicit as that. It might be something more like "Tinkle Ticket" or "Powder-room Points."

I strongly believe that there is more of this to come.

You're right, that wording does sound a little too explicit to me as well. Recently it has been found that a Stock photo has been used to make the person in the leak: (left is the stock photo)

The Fun World is only mentioned in GTA:VC, and I thought we would experience it in a new enaction of Vice City and its surroundings. In Jim's map we see "Quincy World" instead of "Fun World". The "leaker" (coughs) apparently was very clever: he stayed loyal to the map, keeping Quincy World as part of Fun World. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this.  Fred's Fun World just doesn't stand but Quincy World might be a thing.

Unfortunatelly we can expect some more map-based "leaks" in the near future. Let's hope they're as easy to debunk as the latest.

I posted this analysis in the old TLFS location before we moved and I thought I might as well re-post it here since it's still relevant to this discussion.

That map is certainly interesting but there are a few things about it that I'm unsure of since they remind me of things about GTA V's map (aside from the the art style) that
aren't popular and I don't know if the VI map would be so similar in those ways. There's also a way I could see this being real while also addressing those concerns in the last
paragraph of this long post.

For starters it appears that Vice City is the only major city in the map. Since it will likely be close to 10 years between GTA V and GTA VI it would surprise me if there was only
one major city like there is in GTA V, I'd have thought (and it seems many others think this too looking at the speculation thread over the last few years) that after that long
between titles it would be likely for at least two major cities to feature in VI. Granted it is difficult to tell how big some of those other towns in the map may actually be so maybe
one of them could also be a more prominent city such as Bluefish Point. Since the map was so covered in fog it's also possible that we haven't seen as much of the map as we
think, and that there's another more major city hidden out of view somewhere.

Another big thing I noticed is that there doesn't appear to be a lot of untouched rural area, and a common complaint that I see with GTA V's map is that nowhere in the map
really feels like the country since there's always a town or some settlement visible nearby. In this map it seems like some type of civilization is evenly spread throughout the
map so I could see this map having that same issue of nowhere really feeling secluded. Of course it's hard to tell how secluded some of those areas are or what they'd actually
look like simply from this map, so that might not be an issue after all but it's hard to say for sure.

Lastly some more minor things that I noticed that could be attributed to the map being unfinished or early in development still. It would appear that the state is still called
Florida based on the FL designation so either Florida will appear as the first state in a GTA game since Vice City with its real name, the FL is a temporary placeholder, or the
GTA parody of Florida is similarly named and thus shares the same abbreviation. The highway network is also a bit odd looking as currently it looks like just a bunch of wider
regular roads lacking any interchanges, but if it's unfinished those may simply be missing for now.

I have thought for quite awhile that VI would include Vice City and Liberty City somehow, and this map might actually fit into that. In real life New York and Miami have a lot of
connections so it wouldn't be far fetched to have that relationship in a GTA game, but the problem with that idea that is routinely brought up on this forum is that they are too
far apart from each other to be condensed into the same map for a GTA game. So what if both cities are featured in VI but they each have a separate map separated by some
kind of loading screen? Travel between the two maps could be done by something like buying a plane ticket at the airport and then loading at the other map's airport, this
would also make it easy to have the game world unlock with story progress and not have to find a way to block part of the map off from the other until that point.
What we've seen so far could be the Vice City part of the map, and there still be a separated Liberty City map more like what was originally planned for GTA IV. This would
explain why there's only one major city in this map when many people will expect two major cities, the other major city (Liberty City) could be hidden on another map in the
game. That would also explain why all the locations on this map have the state FL abbreviation after their names. If the entire map was in FL why bother adding that
abbreviation onto the location names, unless there's more than one state in the game? The other states could be Liberty State and Alderney on another map also in the same
game. I don't recall the GTA V map having the SA abbreviation on the end of each area name on the map but I could be wrong about that.

I have mixed feelings about this map because it seems a bit too similar to GTA V's map in terms of layout but at the same time it also seems fairly realistic and I could see it
being real too, so if it is fake it's a very good attempt.

I was sketchy on this map, thought it was fake like all the others, then I read this ...

I guess we can say bye to this one. Great troll by him though, this is the second time he's stirred up some serious discussion in the GTA community
