The Ocean View Hotel, Tommy's first safehouse, is back

What it is

The first Vintage Vice City Pack image on the official site is captioned: "Jason and Lucia standing outside the Ocean View Hotel holding handguns. The '55 Vapid Stanier sedan is behind them." The pack's description also promises a personal garage on Shore Drive, "just a stone's throw from the glistening sands of Ocean Beach." The pack is built around the '55 Stanier and 80s-style outfits.

Why it matters

In GTA: Vice City, the Ocean View Hotel in Ocean Beach is Tommy Vercetti's first safehouse, the room he wakes up in after the botched deal that opens the game. Naming it in official copy confirms the hotel survives in GTA VI's Vice City, and tying it to a pre-order pack built around the 1980s makes the nostalgia obvious. Fans had pointed to Ocean Drive-style hotels in the trailers, but this is the first place Rockstar names it.

More easter eggs

• Theory: "Love Is a Long Road" was picked as a joke about the waitTrailer 1 is set to Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road". Many fans read the choice as a double meaning: a song about Jason and Lucia, and a nod to the decade-long wait for GTA VI.
• Theory: A gecko in Trailer 2 is wearing Tommy Vercetti's shirtMore than a year after Trailer 2, a Reddit user pointed out a decorative gecko on a shop wall whose body looks like Tommy Vercetti's patterned shirt. It's on screen for under a second.
• Theory: Cal's bird line is a Birds Aren't Real jokeOne of Cal Hampton's official quotes complains about "way too many birds flying around in perfect formation", which reads a lot like the satirical Birds Aren't Real movement.
• Theory: Leonida Keys bridge may echo Florida's Seven Mile BridgeTrailer 1 shows a modern highway bridge beside an older span in the Leonida Keys. The paired layout resembles Florida's Seven Mile Bridge and Old Seven Mile Bridge, though Rockstar has not confirmed a direct copy.
• Theory: Nine1Nine could nod to Miami's E11EVENA seaplane towing a purple Nine1Nine banner appears in Trailer 1, and the club appears again in Trailer 2. Its name and banner invite a comparison to Miami's E11EVEN, but Rockstar has not confirmed that as the inspiration.
• Theory: One-Eyed Willie's mod shop is named after The GooniesThe Ultimate Edition's off-road mod shop, One-Eyed Willie's, shares its name, almost, with the pirate whose treasure drives The Goonies.
