You point at wilderness as useless empty space, that's where we disagree.
Also the other two cities in San Andres didn't receive the same care Los Santos did, so i'm happy they focused on getting LA just right this time, instead of having some half assed 2nd and 3rd city.

Just from the hours this map has been released, I can already tell this is gonna be the case with V. I remember this map fitting exactly what everybody and their mother could possibly ever want back when IV was just coming out and the map was seen for the first time.
I guess I just need to remind myself this is the internet.

Cant wait to go hunting in the woods.
I think people would like to see a bit more balance, those maps do not show that.
Seems fair, doesn't seem like internet brand whine to me.
Of course we don't know anything, hence the discussion.
Wow. Crazy georeferencing skills right there (from a person who's in the GIS field hehe).

Was hoping there would be more city
Let's just let this guy be miserable, everyone
I honestly never saw it that way.
I guess the closest example I could think of is Red Dead Redemption with campfires and the many outposts you could buy in pretty much any town or city solved this case. The problem was still there, especially if you were in the bottom half of Mexico or located in some large off-road area completely nowhere. Returning to that area became quite a bit of a chore rather than fun after dieing.
I'm guessing (or hoping) that they allow players to respawn at safehouses as I expect there to be a few located somewhere in the wilderness.

Los Santos City is slightly larger than Liberty City in IV.
Major earthquake.
(Based on SoCal, not actual SoCal)
Would you rather have invisible walls on the landmass?
Bigger than RDR, San Andreas and GTA4 put together.

Where is North Yankton from the brochure pictures? Some areas don't seem to be on the map.

Yeah the rural in between the cities was nice. It will be odd if there's no other reason to go through the wild other than missions, and side quests.
How is it not that big? It's larger than liberty city in terms of city size without the rivers/bridges in between.
Plus you have all that huge wilderness, beach, and smaller towns up north. I can easily see taking a plane up there, jumping out with a parachute and then going hunting and getting revenge against cougars who effed up my war horse/stallion so many times in red dead.
I can't even fathom what they will be able to achieve next gen. I mean just look at the difference between III, IV, and now V in their numbered games.

Probably off map like San Andreas' Liberty City
They're not remaking San Andreas they're remaking Los Santos.
GTA SA was LA (and some parts outside of LA), San Francisco and Vegas. GTA V is Los Angeles County i.e. LA and it's surrounding areas.

Whenever did they say that? Sounds ridiculous. I doubt they said t hat.
This was my first thought as well. Just one though. And if you kill it it respawns somewhere else randomly in the countryside on the map. Like say you find it and kill it over by Mt. Josiah, and then it will respawn all the way on the northeast end of the map.
I was thinking maybe if you killed it, it would be gone from your save file forever, but then I'd be sad.
The entire city is, more or less, as large as GTA 4. The wilderness also, almost always, makes for a lot more diverse and interesting side quests, stories, content and exploration, especially in addition to a huge city.
Exploring in games like Saints Row, GTA 4 is boring, because it's the entire maps consist of nothing but cityscapes.
San Andreas is one of my favorite games of all time because of the wilderness content.
The higher graphical quality, the more work is required, the more money and time is required. Next gen GTA's world map will most likely be significantly smaller, but a lot more detailed.
Well, that is, if they don't procedurally generate a lot of the map and world like Just Cause 2, but I doubt Rockstar wants to do that. They seem to prefer handcrafting their worlds.

Just one city? I thought there would be at least two.

California is part of the United States, it's not an island.
I'm surprised people can look at this map and think "looks so small" or "not enough city" when we have screenshots like this:
And that's just the "small" metropolis part.
We still have all the little outlying areas like:

I thought it was small until I saw the comparison.

I just came to the realization that a ton of open world games are islands (Saints Row's Stilwater and Steelport, GTAV's city). Easier to do that with "infinite" water surrounding it or to simply turn back the player I suppose.
It definitely looks huge, I'm ignoring those arguments.
The guy that alluded to crossing wilderness that led to another huge city, that's kinda what made SA so great for me. The experience of having homes in different entire cities, maybe I have to fly to get to my other home.
It really felt like you were living thru different lives or living thru decades and moving thru life.
We can't agree that 2 cities is different than one big city and a lot of wild? People have pref, I understand both sides. No one is wrong.

I don't think the city will be small it's that having 1 city in 1 chunk might get a bit boring. I'd like a city either end or something to try brak up the map a bit more.
But looking forward to dicking around int he wilderness with the police

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's real.
It's fake. There's no leaked version to my knowledge.

One of the coolest things about SA was making the journey from city to city, the feeling of leaving one and eventually entering another, I'm going to miss that

It's 9 holes according to this, and it looks like 9 on the map.
I'm still impressed though.
Indeed; that would also be the worst camera if it were that close.
I'm saddened by the past GTA and RDR maps being used in comparisons, but no Midnight Club LA or LA Noire maps.
