okay so we all caught the Little Morgan nod to Arthur's name, but I was rewatching the trailer and something else hit me. The way Jason is framed in that shot, leaning forward with the revolver, it's basically the exact same composition as Arthur on the RDR2 cover. The angle, the intensity, the way the light catches him. It's not just a name drop, they straight up recreated the pose.

And Rockstar loves doing this. RDR2's epilogue had John mirroring his own RDR1 cover art with the sawed-off, and it was such a subtle but perfect moment for anyone who played the first game. So now I'm wondering how many of these they're gonna sneak into GTA 6. Not just RDR callbacks either, but stuff from older GTA games. Like, could we get a scene where Lucia and Jason are posed like the GTA III cover? Or maybe a mission that recreates that iconic Vice City shot of Tommy leaning on the Infernus?

Rockstar's always been good at winking at their own history without making it feel forced. With Leonida being a modern take on Vice City, there's so much potential for little Easter eggs that only longtime fans would catch. A radio ad for a lawyer who "used to work in Liberty City" or a billboard for a certain car dealership. The Little Morgan callback just makes me think they're going all in on that stuff this time around.

What's one callback or reference from an older Rockstar game you'd love to see hidden somewhere in Leonida?
