The Intel team’s secret weapon is actually a check process that runs at the end of the enhancement of each individual frame. The enhanced image is particularly impressive in terms of details - it fills in reflections from car windows, glossiness in paint, lush grass in previously brown fields, and leaves on barren trees. The video gives side-by-side comparisons between the standard world of GTA 5 and the enhanced version, generated by Intel Labs. However, to make things a little easier to grasp, the team also created a video that shows off the process in motion and some of the enhanced footage from the game. Most of the Intel Labs team’s data and findings while building this new image enhancement technique is available through their project page on Intel’s website and a very detailed white paper.
The process converts the standard footage from the game into nearly photorealistic images using a very complicated procedure that involves an AI, according to a former member of the team.
However, this isn’t the first time a video game has included real-world places, as Marvel’s Spider-Man is well known for recreating an almost true to life New York City and Rockstar’s approach to the same formula isn’t short of impressive either, or is it a new concept for them, since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto 3 & IV were based on Miami and NYC respectively.Intel Labs, a research hub for the tech company of the same name, has created a new process for enhancing images - and it showed it off using Grand Theft Auto 5. These places are almost completely indistinguishable from their real-life counterparts. The Eclipse Towers building was inspired by a 31-story residential building called Sierra Towers in Hollywood, California. Maze Bank West was inspired by 401 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica, California, while Del Pierro Heights was inspired by the Searise Office Tower, also in Santa Monica. Maze Bank West, Del Pierro Heights & Eclipse TowersĪll three of these buildings are prominently featured in GTA Online as two of these (Maze Bank West & Del Pierro Heights) are utilized as Executive Offices for the player’s organization while an apartment in Eclipse Towers can be purchased by players to use as a Safe House. Both places have a giant yellow sign and are equally worn down. Its real-life influence is located in the Salton Sea region in Mecca, California, and is an abandoned liquor store called Carniceria Toro Loco. The place is featured in multiple story missions as well as in GTA Online. Located in Sandy Shores, Trevor uses a run-down liquor store as his base of operations. Players have also managed to find a location that resembles Trevor’s lab in the game. This location is a replica of Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California and looks just as vivid and beautiful as its real life counterpart. The Pier also has its own amusement park called Pleasure Pier, equipped with a Ferris Wheel and a roller coaster, both of which are interactive. Located in Del Pierro, Los Santos, this place shines vividly at night and is perhaps one of the most beautiful locations to visit in the game. The theatre is also featured in one of the missions later in the game and players can revisit the theatre during freeroam to watch a select number of movies. Rockstar has managed to replicate the entire theatre in Downtown, Los Santos and both locations have the same Forecourt entrance and color scheme. The Oriental Theatreīased on the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, the place holds a historical significance. The observatory also overlooks Los Santos’ skyline which is a sight to see. and is next to identical to the real thing with its spacious area, the giant dome, and the overall architectural design. This location is based on Griffith Observatory on the slopes of Mt. In both the game and real life, this place is a spot for tourists that can be seen wandering around it, and perhaps it is the most famous landmark in the world. Located in Vinewood Hills, this location is obviously based on the famous Hollywood Sign. Here’s a look at some other places in GTA V that are influenced by real places: Vinewood Sign Divided into multiple areas (Blaine County, Downtown, Vespucci Beach, etc.), Grand Theft Auto V’s Los Santos is almost a faithful recreation of Los Angeles and keen-eyed players have encountered many familiar landmarks in the game as Rockstar’s art team has painstakingly recreated various famous tourist attractions and well-known places for Los Santos in a bid to make the world look believable. Rockstar Games have always paid immaculate attention to detail in their games in an effort to make their world look as realistic and alive as possible.
