Could you build this?
Partial A playable third-person prototype with driving and police chases is vibe-codeable in three.js or Unity, but a convincing GTA-style open world of Vancouver needs city-scale map data, large art and animation pipelines, and game design depth.
What it would actually take: A game engine (Unity or Unreal) with geographic data from OpenStreetMap or city GIS to build the road network, streaming for an open world, and vehicle physics and AI traffic and police. The hard parts are the art, animation, and audio assets and the level-scale content production, which require a multi-person game studio or large budget.
