I thought they already appeared in GTA: San Andreas, or am I wrong?

[Johacamigames]

If it's in LA then yeah, if not it's a 50/50 chance

@Isuck100% Yeah I could of sworn I saw it near the place that OG Loc used to work, I may be wrong

[Jakee.]

In all fairness to the Moderator, who is from England, as am I, I had no idea there was an imitation of the Venice Canals in the US. So don't shoot him/her down

Anyway, would be nice, the pic looks real nice and it would be something else to explore I guess..

[Dandere]

sure, why not?

Fishing? That seems fishy to me.

QUOTE (StratovariusFTW @ Friday, Aug 17 2012, 12:20) Looking at the picture posted above, I think they were in SA? Not represented really as a canal but there was an area just north of the beach in LS, around the Burger-Shot where you could find a Vortex? It was like a tiny canal with orange stone walls that ran under a small bridge before going out in the sea? I could just be imagining things but maybe that was supposed to be a small representation of them in III-era LS. Yeah, that area distinctly had the feel of the Venice canal, if not the exact look. Was amazing looking at the houses right down by the canal.

Yep, I also remember from GTA-SA, that they tried to make a small canal area. I think Rockstar will include a couple of canals in GTAV just because that is a unique part of LA and the canals are right there near the beach scene shown in the Trailer.

There have been chase scenes in movies where cars go airborne flying over those tiny bridges over the Venice canals. It would be a shame if we can't relive those scenes interactively in GTAV.

There are only 4 canals in actual Venice Beach. it's a small area. Go to Google Maps and search for "Venice canals, Los Angeles, CA"

[I Shot The Sheriff]

LOL, I thought, what the f*ck is this dude talking about? But BEFORE I clicked "no" or made a post saying "WTF dude" or something like that, I looked it up on google images and knew what you were talking about, and my answer is a big YES

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a mission involving a speedboat/jet-ski chase featuring them. (jamieleng)

So true my friend, so true.

[ccrogers15]

They were in GTA SA i think. So most likely they will be in GTA V

[xXTacoGuyXx]

I voted no because i had no idea there were Venice Canals in L.A. >.> Now that i know, i say that there should be. Jumping over the canals in a banshee while being chased by the cops/FIB/Noose/Army would be bloody awesome. Or jumping over the canals, jumping out oif the car, and the car crashes into a chopper. likeabaws

[faizanali]

Well it was in SA called Marina so we will see Venice Canals for sure

[Euda]

yes, I think it'll be featured again.

[ToTheWorld]

I've never even heard of these before, being from England and all. I hope they are though, they look like they could be good fun.

Errm, just so we're clear, you mean Venice - Italy... right?

First time a mod made me facepalm.

Now I'm pretty sure there will be at least one canal. GTA SA had one and it wasn't as good as a representation of Venice Beach as GTA V. The canals are just around a neighborhood, so we shouldn't expect anything really big.

Venice Beach has a pretty interesting history, if you check it out..

That looks a nice place to have a safehouse where I can dock my speedboat. Do those canals flow out to sea in real life? In the game they should.

Oops, I voted no before I understood what canals you were talking about. I thought you were saying like Venice, Italy. Now it makes sense Haha.

I checked before voting lol! My first thought was about it being Italy as well, the fact that there are so many moronic topics that it was a genuine possibility that he could have meant Venice Italy is a bit worrying haha.

Not the canals themselves, but doesn't the area appear in the Romeo and Juliet film?

I think he means the 1996 Baz Luhrmann film, which is set in the fictional Verona Beach and probably took a lot of inspiration from Venice Beach. It was mainly filmed in Miami and Mexico though, not LA.
