Ocean Bay Marina: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:49, 24 March 2010

Piers of the Ocean Bay Marina in GTA Vice City, as viewed to the northeast.

The Ocean Bay Marina is a marina featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, located in Ocean Beach, Vice City. In 1986, the setting of GTA Vice City Tommy Vercetti comes here to receive missions from Juan Cortez. However in GTA Vice City Stories the setting isn't in any part key to the storyline other than when Vic has to get fake photographs of Jerry Martinez with a DEA agent.

Design

The marina is located right across from the Marina Sands Hotel. The building contains a curved walkway to the side of it, with two headstones standing out with a picture of an anchor on it. But in Vice City Stories the stones are blank. At the backside of the building it has two piers, Pier 1 to the north, and Pier 2 to the south. In the water there are wooden boards slanted on rocks that can be used at ramps for stunting. It also features an underground carpark where random vehicles will spawn.

The marina undergoes several cosmetic changes in its appearance in GTA Vice City Stories, appearing more undeveloped circa 1984, as its car park is under construction, and its docks are smaller in size and mostly constructed of wood; only two ramps for jumps are available on the docks.

-Also there is very little difference between the two years the games are set. Some of the notable differences are that in 1984 half of the carpark is under construction, there are fewer docks with only two ramps, and the stones. It also features an underground carpark where random vehicles will spawn.
