The amount of work that goes into creating video game worlds can’t be overstated and as such, many of them take inspiration from real-world locations.
This is done rather obviously in games like Grand Theft Auto 5, L.A. Noire, Sleeping Dogs and many more. However, some titles are a little less obvious about their inspirations. Let’s take a look at 11 video game locations that fit into that category.

What about madness combat
That intro is always so soothing
The entire Doom game 😂
FIFA 07 better be on this list 📃…
Wow I never knew this
Back to begging for subs twice in one video.
I bet my fans don't know where i rip and tear
Lol I'm from PATNA
The Far Cry, Watch Dogs series, and Days Gone immediately spring to mind…
"Nucular or Nuclear?
Aluminum or Aluminion?"
Archipelago : CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
I wonder why many horror games are inspired by American souther states…no wonder!
Life is strange 2 is the literal shit.
Who else thought of gta5 as soon as they read the title!?
Al of this time I've always thought that Raccoon City was in Colorado. With the mountains and stuff in the distance.
They made a real life city based off gta5
What about FPS games?
no pics for reference? weird video.
How about all of the fallout games and what about watchdogs.
The Nightclub in Hitman 3 "Apex predator" is an almost exact copy of a Nightclub in Berlin called the Power station (its in an old power station). Even the music is the same no patrons going at it in dark corners though
Probably the best known one is Gotham City based on NYC
I like how Fallout 76 uses not only real life locales and landmarks, but also incorporates real life festivals, events, and legends. Such as the fashnat festival, mothman, grafton monster, sheepsquatch, etc.
Yous shouldve added pics of the actual places. 👎
Cool video. But why Makenzie type of video if you are literally not going to show a single image of a single place you are referring to??? Really weird choice 🤷♂️
Another game that I play that has some maps that are based on real life places is Rainbow six seige. There’s a video titled “ rainbow six maps in real life “ if you want to see them.
I can say from experience that playing Yakuza legitimately prepares you for walking around Kabukicho. It was such a weird experience visiting a place I've never been too whole simultaneously feeling it was familiar.
