GTA V map pieced together
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
While this isn't officially released by Rockstar, it's probably close to the final thing as Rockstar's been releasing snippets of the whole map recently. The pieces were all collected and pieced together by the guys on the GTAForums (hardcore group of folks lol).
DAT COUNTRYSIDE.

Am I the only one who thinks the map looks abit like Burnout's Paradise City?
Apparently not, I need glasses...

All that countryside worries me, but if its as robust with animals and nature to see and play with, i'd be happy.
For those that don't know, LA's geography is pretty cool. There is forest, desert, mountains, islands, beach, and ocean all within I think about 100 miles. Really hope this is captured well in this game, if anyone can do it Rockstar can.

you can't put a price on sparks
there's probably going to be a lot of racing anyway.
i've always seen GTA as a car game with 3rd person action.
R* says the game world is larger than those of GTA:SA, GTAIV and RDR combined, though I assume this takes into account that the ocean is now explorable.

Again, Shinobi is spreading wrong information here. This is a fan made map and NOT pieced together with snippets from R*.
This is all we have so far:
The rest is made up.

I know there are blanks being filled in regard to the map itself. That's why I mentioned the game world specifically.
Going back to San Andreas, my idea of how it was is way bigger than it actually is. I played it on the PC a few months back, and was surprised at how quickly you can get from one 'City' to another. In my mind, it was almost like a small country.
The new map is promising though. It looks pretty big, but what is in that land is going to be so much better too. The landscapes etc... I'm sure there are going to be plenty of interesting locations away from the main City.

Dem runways. I'm so happy to have another GTA with planes again. I think I spent 90% of my time in San Andreas in the air, flying under every bridge and doing my best Han Solo between buildings. There's this tunnel south of Area 69 that I used to be able to fly the Hydra through, assuming there weren't any trucks hiding in there. I just hope Rockstar's fixed the pop-in, because when you were screaming along in the Hydra ten feet above the ground the trees would only pop into existence after you'd crashed into them

Totally looks like Paradise City haha, I'm sure there will be more city areas on the real map though.

That map looks absolutely huge.

SA had farmland, wilderness, desert, rolling countryside and one huge mountain, so I'm sure GTA V will have plenty of variety.

unless theres interesting stuff happening all over that may not be a good thing.

Well it doesn't look boring big, like Just Cause 2, but still big enough for each area to be interesting.
Los Santos and some small rural towns (like in San Andreas)
Los Santos alone is supposed to be as big as Liberty City from IV if you pushed all of the islands together, and Los Santos is only 1/3 of the map. Plus there's underwater stuff on top of that.

how does Rockstar fit this huge map on a DVD. wasn't GTA4 and RDR already pushing the limits on size?
Fast travel. Can't let the nubs get discouraged.

Exercises in tedium do not make you hardcore.

Having to actually play the game to get around in it isn't tedium.
Having to drive around in a GTA game?! MANUALLY?! Gaming is really awful these days. I hope they add fast travel to Forza and Gran Turismo next.
It's not so much a matter of how large the world as it is how many unique assets the world uses.

Playing SA with the draw distance ramped up 10x made me realise how small San Andreas was in that game. They were just mini-cities with a few roads between. If this game can fit a similar size city to GTA4's plus a decent amount of countryside to boot I could *almost* believe it.

75% of it seems completely made up, it just looks that they took the few real images of the map and copy pasted things all over the place
Yeah this map is bogus

Where did I say in my post that I didn't know it was fake? Coming off disrespectful gets you know where. Stop that.

This quote doesn't make sense. No where on the Just Cause 2 map does a city take up that much proportionally. It's the opposite of JC2 if anything, with more condensed city-scape with fewer islands, if any. I guess it's similar as in they both have different environments and roads, but this looks like the exact opposite of what JC2 did and its respective map. This is much more condensed. Even the largest cities in JC2 didn't have the detail and size that this city does.
Still seems tiny compared to TDU. This is what 1000 miles of road looks like and it'll take around an hour to drive around the island. Over 40 times bigger than the SA map.
So no, I don't think it will be that hard to fit the map on a DVD
