DAN-1243 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 If you look at this picture on the GTA IV website, http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/ You can see to the right street lights in the far distance, That seems a long way away so do you think that area will be accessable. If you've played Driver Parrarel Lines then you'll know how big it is possible to make a game map so what do you think.

mikesta Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's be 3/4 the size of SA, but it'll feel huge. Every single space will be detailed. I think there wont be large useless deserted areas, like in SA.

Symbiote666 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 And lets not forget there is the new element of 'vertical' gameplay, plus the high number of interiors. Which makes it even bigger..

MysteryGamer Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The map certainly looks massive, but how big would you roughly say it is? So you guys are guessing it is like San Andreas but with Las Venturas removed? Alderney and Alogoquin look like the largest obviously with it taking 5 real minutes or so to get round a lot of Alogoquin. Bohan looks small I am thinking it could be the same size of Portland in Grand Theft Auto III and no larger than that but this is just an assumption.

BucMan1B Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The light area represents 75% to put it in perspective. So if this is all urban area, I would say that GTAIV's Liberty City will be much more full and dense.

I think it will be a bit smaller than that, but its going to be much more dense and the scope seems huge. In my opinion San Andreas didnt have a particularly good layout. Liberty City seems to have a better layout and the map looks awesome.

Yeah, most of the San Andreas map is either useless countryside or desert, Liberty city has some countryside (Very small if it does) but almost all of it is pure detailed city unlike San Andreas, wonder if there is loads of changes from gta 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311177-how-big-is-gta-iv/#findComment-1057486546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA_Godfather Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The circled area is all of the land area I consider to be "urban" area (used loosely) in San Andreas. It takes up around 60% of the land area. If the 75% people speak of is pertaining to land area only (no water), then actually it will be bigger than the "urban" area of S.A. Not only this....most of the urban area in Liberty City will be more more dense (more urban) with much more INTERIOR SPACE. I assume the amount of water area will about somewhere about the same.

I think there wont be large useless deserted areas, like in SA. Why do people say this like thats not big at all. SA was huge. Only reason it seemed small was because it had so much dead space. Think about taking 3/4 of SA, then covering it in nothing but city, with no dead spaces....thats a big ass city.

Johnny Burbank Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The city map on the website and the music reminds a lot of Crackdown. What was so bad about the "dead space" of SA? I liked the countryside, added a lot to the game, made you feel you were really traveling to different places.

I liked the countryside, added a lot to the game, made you feel you were really traveling to different places. Agreed, sorta, although the song has a much darker feel to it. Also, all them lights you see to the right is Dukes which will be [obviously] accessible.

visionist Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I just hope Alderney is interesting... Think of the things that IV can have, which are new to GTA, and even, to gaming: * train marshalling yards... * huge container depots... * Large industrial estates... * A big trash landfill... * A REALLY large airport... * Big graveyards...
