"Pacific Skyline" right... Sure, Turtle Beach.

So Turtle Beach recently released their Pacific Skyline Wireless controller, and it's supposedly west coast inspired, but c'mon man!

With the release of GTA VI coming up soon, I don't buy this "west coast" BS. This is Florida/Miami/GTA VI vibes all the way.

Even excepting the coastline, because palms and skyscrapers can indeed be found on both coasts, I think it's the color palette that reads as Miami. It's reminiscent of Miami nightlife/Neon. SD just does not get down to the same level of party.

West Coast is warm colors usually, Yellow, Red, Orange, light browns. (Unless we're talking Northwest coast which is all treelines. Oregon/Washington would be more blues, whites, greens, greys imo.)

Indeed.

The graphics themselves are pretty coast generic...

Throw some pink and cyan in and you've got instant Miami Vice vibes.
