Hello everyone,

I used search engine but i didn't find anything related.
I would like to share with you something i noticed when i paused the official trailer where we can see the dam.

Then, i searched about the other pic of a dam that we had.

This is so different!! Multiple dam confirmed?
Or maybe just an update... As we know, it might have some different stages of development...

Here is a pic of LA... Pretty amazing what R* did, all from scratch.

I seen what you did there.

[jnasty9119]

Yea multiple rivers so its necessary to have multiple damns, unless of course you want the citizens of los santos to die a horrible drowning death

[Tashan]

Can you repaste picture with some markings. I am finding it little hard to spot.

Anyways to me it's not dam (?) but..a bridge?

[zainzombie]

Im not sure what to say about this so..

I sea what you did there xD

It's proof Las Venturas is in the game.

Everyone knows there is a dam located to the north of Las Vegas, called the Hoover Dam, and it looks nearly identical to that first pic you posted.


And yes, you could see Los Santos from Las Venturas in San Andreas, it's a video game it has to be scaled down. So I think that pic there is a shot from behind the Hoover dam, with Los Santos in the background.

EDIT : I meant the 2nd pic, not the first pic. This one http://i.imgur.com/belr8JF.jpg


Yes that is the Hoover dam I had to drive over that same dam when I drove to Texas.

The "old" dam is the Land Act Dam (modeled off Pacoima or San Gabriel Dam) and the "new" dam is a replication of the Hollywood Dam. They are different dams. LA actually has a lot of dams and reservoirs. The Land Act Dam is located on the east side of the city and the Hollywood Dam is north, by the Griffith's Observatory building.

[Shootaholic]

Both dams are in los santos . If you look at the angle of the dam in the plane screenshot then u can see the skyline towards the left which means that dam is towards the right of the smaller dam.

No, Las Venturas is not confirmed to be in the game. There is no proof that LV is in the game.

You're from the UK bro.. How would you know? I think you're just hoping it's not.

This is coming from a Southern California native, and someone who has PHYSICALLY crossed the Hoover dam himself.

If anything I expect Rockstar to pull some COD or Ubisoft BS and make Las Venturas available DLC. They know everyone would buy the DLC if that were the case.

Rockstar stands to lose far too much money if they don't throw Las Ventuas in the game. How are they going to have Las Venturas in older gen consoles and not the current gen? When current gens are capable of SO much more?

Exactly, it doesn't make any sense for them not to put it back in. It'd almost be franchise suicide for them if they didn't.

I see what you did there lol

I wish we could release the water from it and let Los Santos get flooded. Jet Skiing through the flooded streets would be awesome haha

[ra5putin]

I want realistic dams in the game.

[jonnie123]

The new dam seen in the trailer can also be seen in the printed screenshot that was revealed in some game boxes.

[BundyNL]

Dat dam

[gwaha]

Rockstar doesn't stand to lose anything by not adding Las Venturas. And no it is not franchise suicide either. This franchise isn't about any particular city, it is about it being set in any city they can come up with, big difference.

The current gen is capable of much more that is true but this has got nothing to do with adding another city. The map is already bigger than the map of GTA SA. The city of Los Santos is already likely the size of all three cities from GTA SA combined. Also, Rockstar stated they wanted to do one city right instead of three cities somewhat adequately.

And you may be a SoCal native but you completely glance over the blueprint map. We know exactly where the Land Act Dam is located and there is NO city behind it.

And no, Las Venturas won't be DLC either. It is far too expensive and time consuming to create a city with mission for DLC. Rockstar told us they won't create big DLC again because it simply didn't earn them enough. The amount of resources needed to create a DLC city is simply too big.

wow, people still think LV is in the game? get over it. have you crossed the pacoima dam? or the san gabriel dam? There really is no LV. It would be silly to have the hoover dam overlooking downtown LS.

Franchise suicide? cmon get real.

[giraffeboy]

There was nothing to do in LV anyway apart from gamble and blast round the freeways at full speed, I hardly set foot in it after doing the missions

[Negan]

The dam is created by rockstar from scratch and the other thing is Hollywood lake which exists in real LA.

[TexasDeViL]

The Hoover Dam what an idiot LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Just because you PHYSICALLY crossed a dam doesn't mean LV is in GTA V.

That has got to be the stupidest theory ever.
