agreed. san andreas might not be the best comparison to make here since it's a nine year old game, but there was very little to do outside of the city areas. however, if the soundtrack is on the same level as vice city's, i can see why it'd be fun to just drive around while listening to the radio.
still, though, the map itself doesn't look too interesting.

I will never be able to un-see this.
I was just beginning to forget about the ninja turtle until I noticed more people replying to the original poster about how they can't stop unseeing it.
Anyway,map looks fantastic. Three runways, including a fort *Kreygasm*. Hope there's a way to travel quickly from the north country to the south city. Planes or some form of fast travel would be great.
edit: actually on further inspection that senora freeway looks like a quick and easy way to town, while you enjoy the sights in a fast car. The two airports in the midlle of the map also aren't as far to the north as I initially thought. Looks well designed.

The streets are much smaller in size. I don't think it's accurate.If this GTA:SA to GTA V comparison is accurate.......

Yeah and the GTAV runway in Fort Zancudo is longer then the entire city of San San Fierro.
Key phrase: "According to their scales". I am doubting the veracity of said scales.

While Los Santos is huge it's still kind of disappointing that there is only 1 city. You lose that 2nd and 3rd city feel. Where you cover a distance through wilderness then come up to a 2nd big city.
While I agree in part, I think the small towns will do a lot for that - I loved coming to places separated from the main city in SA.

Streets aren't nearly the same size in that comparison, I dont' think it's accurate.
Maybe they have plans for future DLC expansion into new island/city.

Pshaw, that's child's play.
Hopefully this means the world won't be as barren as JC2's was in spots.
Also Jesus fucking Christ Fuel's map is big.

I didn't saw this screen from any trailer, or I didn't replayed them enough.

Those comparisons are way off.
Look at the size of the streets. They are almost twice the size on GTAV lol.

Is anyone else concerned about how small the city looks? I mean, how many animals can you hunt before all of that wilderness gets boring?
Anyone else share this feeling?
Anyone else share this feeling?
I'm kind of underwhelmed to be honest.
But this is coming from someone who had unrealistic expectations following the openness of Just Cause 2.
But I imagine its going to be more packed with more things to do like in Red Dead Redemption. The thing about Red Dead Redemption was the scale. I'm not driving a car to get from point A to point B so things move much slower. The map was also justly sized for that game. It was more than enough space for what it did.
Well, more or less I imagine the hunting to play similarly to Red Dead Redemption. Sometimes you got to go out of your way to get some lil' creatures out there.
I actually welcome it, I don't imagine that the wilderness is the same thing over and over again. I imagine it to be inspired by RDR, with little monuments and things here and there.

The SA comparison is way off, SA is about half of the size of V.
Those mountains are really huge. I hoped for more roads and smaller towns in the countryside though. Looks like most of it is just (boring) wilderness.
But don't let me be so quick on judging the game. Can't wait for the first reviews.

Rockstar said it's bigger than SA, IV, and RDR combined anyway. I trust em.
This is where I'm at too.
That looks like a pretty small (relative) city area.
I hope there are some small village type areas in all that wilderness.
Love wilderness, but wish for a balance. Remember IV was too much city, practically no grass. Balance.

This guys scale is all messed up.
Now a single airport runway is nearly as long as 2 GTAIV islands put together?
Yeah the airport runways is what gives it away for me in terms of scale.

I mean unless the city is super dense and that map is incredibly big, I just don't see a warrant for all of that wilderness in a Grand Theft Auto title. It made sense in Red Dead, but it just seems like a lazy effort or a constraint due to the hardware.
Just Cause 2's map was too big. Impressive to travel around but then you realize it has about 300 settlements that are all the same tiny layout and almost nothing to do in it except blow the same ~20 types of military stuff up in each of them and do the occasional race.
They're likely including the skybox and the explorable ocean in that statement. The land itself is still going to be huge though.

davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
i know that. but there's a lot of ocean where the other parts of the state should be.
i understand from a gaming point of view. from a "lore" point of view, i'm just confused
That is the point I dropped JC2.
My thoughts exactly.
I understand it from a gaming point of view, but from an immersion standpoint its quite ridiculous.

Goddamn.
I'd take a medium sized city, towns and wilderness over GTA IV booring liberty city any time of the day
I don't remember Nightfall being that massive. I recall playing through it and it was fairly large. I just don't recall it being that large.
and JC2 isin't as boring as people make it out to be. I view it as a benchmark. Given the amount of ways you can travel its all the more fun and worthwhile to go through.
The best part is when I take a plane and go outside of the map, it becames an endless ocean and I got so far away from the island that it would have taken me 10 minutes to get back to the island on boat. Had to call in the black-market to extract me back to the island. Yes, its large but its beautifully crafted.
