You point at wilderness as useless empty space, that's where we disagree.WHOOSH. The point is, Rockstar touted that you would take a day to go cross-town. While, yes, I abused the ever living fuck out of the taxi-ride skip to get Liberty City Minute on 360, my point is: San Andreas was fun going between 3 cities with rural areas intersparsed. 5's SA is just LA and... a bunch of wilderness with an airport WAY out in the country and maybe a small rural town with a few rural zones in between according to that map.
Hence: Disappointment.
Seems really small.
Why is California an island?
GTA IV: Ugh, it's all city, where's the desert? The mountains? The countryside?
GTA V: Ugh, it's all desert, mountains and countryside!
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.
Size illuminator!

Seems like a real difficult comparison to me. And I question the accuracy of both. Even if it is close to accurate, San Andreas looks like it has a lot more density and variety, could say the same for GTA IV also. Bunch of wildlife... great.
You're preaching to the choir, I loved JC2's size, I must have spend around 50 hours just roaming around. Still, there we're some forest areas that where really really boring and empty.
Also yes, giving the player a fast, involved and fun way to travel in grapple/glider 'slingshotting' really alleviates most of JC2's scope issues. GTA doesn't have this, which makes me worry about the size of that wildernness.
So...why is California an Island?
Was hoping there would be more city
Los Santos City is slightly larger than Liberty City in IV.Was hoping there would be more city
So...why is California an Island?
Jesus Christ if true.
I remember San Andreas feeling absolutely gigantic back then. I haven't read the thread, but is there a RDR comparison? I think RDR is the biggest map I've played on, I think, and if this is much bigger than that, then that's insane.

Where is North Yankton from the brochure pictures? Some areas don't seem to be on the map.
I'm disappointed that them remaking San Andreas(?) had them drop the second city and make it more wilderness on an "island" with less rural towns (or slightly more in the fact they blew up area per square "mile").
I'm sure instead of taking a day to cross town in Liberty City's 4 version it'll take a year to cross the "country" in 5 in the taxi. :/
WHOOSH. The point is, Rockstar touted that you would take a day to go around town.
Hence: Disappointment.
There had better be Bigfoot somewhere in there.
I don't think zero is cynical I mean that is a little offputing seeing 2/3rds of the map is wildlife and the game is based off of LA.
Like lets be real for a min....but well see on tuesday tho
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.
Those comparison pics can't be right. SA and IV almost same size? San Andreas felt a lot bigger. hmph...
So...why is California an Island?
Nine holes of golf in that little chunk and I doubt that they're all par-3; I'm satisfied with the map size.
The oval just north of East Vinewood looks like it says "Vinewood Racetrack"; I'm looking forward to that.
So...why is California an Island?
There is no leaked version yet so.... fake?
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's real.
EDIT: Yes, it's fake.It's fake. There's no leaked version to my knowledge.
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's real.
It's 9 holes according to this, and it looks like 9 on the map.I thought it was a full 18 hole course?
Indeed; that would also be the worst camera if it were that close.Fake, that is an old screenshot.
