tomrudderham Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 If you live in California and have a camera, then get snapping and see how close to life San Andreas is. To get the ball rolling here's a pic I took in San Francisco, and then from a similar spot in San Fiero: SAN FRANCISCO: SAN FIERO: Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/200245-compare-your-real-life-shots-to-san-andreas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugef1 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Very Nice pic. didn't realise how similar they were even though they are a mirror image.. I live in the UK so no pics from me. would be interested to see los santos vs Los Angeles though (esp in the Ganton type areas.

DigitallyInsane^ Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Nice shots!!! I hope this becomes a popular topic, as it would be really interesting to see the comparisons, I live in New Zealand, (which, btw is not a part of Australia, no.) so yeah...

UserErr0r Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hmm, would this be a place to post different types of pictures... satellite images?

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I like this idea, even people who don't live in Cali can join in just find a photo of Cali or Nevada for that matter using the net and then taking a similar one ingame.

Krayjee Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I believe that the picture of San Francisco is not by the Golden Gate Bridge. That bridge in the picture seems to be the grey bridge in San Fierro. The Golden Gate Bridge is Red, and the bridge is obviously not red in the picture of San Francisco. There also is the grass parts near the Golden Gate visible in the San Fierro Picture. There is no grass near the bridge in the picture of San Francisco, and there should be. Therefor it is most probably neither a mirror image nor the same spot.

Well yeah but the Golden Gate Bridge is to the right of the photo obviously not in the photo but still there, the image of San Fierro does actually have the Bay Bridge its just in the distance. Also I dont' think any of us thought it would be identical anyway, its still a good resembelence though. Rockstar have just moved things around slightly to make it not identical.

UserErr0r Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) Griffith (spelling?) Observatory (bad screenshot, I know ) Great Western Forum Golden Gate Bridge Cable thingy (my screenshot program is set to ctrl+shift+t, and my ctrl and shift keys jump and crouch, so that's why my guy looks like he's having his way with the cable) I think that lake in Los Santos may be MacArthur Park.. a description of the park states that "The park is divided in two by Wilshire Boulevard.", and there's a road splitting the lake in two in the game (well, overhead). I cannot find a (decent) picture of the lake.
