Mapping Los Santos! Building/landmark analysis

[NoxiousWR]

As promised, here's my new updated map.

I tried to keep the shape of what is supposedly the island on the board

for the Paleto Heist in the gameplay trailer.

I also tried to make it so it could fit with the blueprint dimensions.

To be honest, I spent about 12 hours on this today so I'll leave the GTA map alone for a few days.

I've been waiting for you to do this... Awesome!

 

7 weeks till release

On a diagram, everything that you're including must be inside the border. The blueprint we have seen so far will include the entire map. If there is a backside to the blueprint, it will be a zoomed version of Los Santos. The first side MUST include the entire map, or else its an improper diagram.

"View of Anaheim to the North-East, from top of Disneyland garage."

 

I really feel like I have seen that dark, small building in some screenshot. I'm in my phone so I can't do proper research.

[digital31]

We have seen a blueprint which clearly shows the shape of Los Santos (it only misses a small portion of Los Santos in the NE of the map). There is likely nothing to the south other than more docks considering it is likely for sea trade with more land to the south not making any sense. So San Diego can't be to the south.

 

There also isn't much room anywhere else for another city based on countless of people combing through the screenshots and trailers to come up with a good representation of what the map will end up looking like.

 

And even then there is only one screenshot of what looks like something in San Diego and nothing else which even remotely hints at San Diego being in the game. Not to mention that San Diego would more than likely be considered as a city and that flies against Rockstar's statement of there being no other city in the game.

 

Edit:

 

I don't truly understand Rockstar's statement about the double sided map on how it is a change from previous games. For example my GTA SA included a double-sided poster map.

This would all be true if you've seen the entire blueprint map, which you haven't once again. And you also do not know if the blueprint map is two sided or not, which they haven't said that it is, and they haven't said that it isn't either. And I do not remember them saying that Los Santos would be the only city in the game. Please show me where a Rockstar employee said that Los Santos is the ONLY city in the game. They've said that the map is Los Santos and Blaine County. I never heard them say that Los Santos is the ONLY city in the game. If you can show us that, then we will take that as gold.

You're in the wrong thread mate, this mapping thread is about facts, you stated it's a fact that the blueprint map is two sided now you're only just speculating it is.

 

Go back to the other cities thread, sorry, other towns thread as it is now known.

I really could care less if San Diego was in the game or not. I trust in Rockstar to make a great game no matter what map the put out there. They always have. But don't shoot down arguments just because you want your precious maps to be right. Talking about facts? Everybody is speculating on this thread. I'm not talking about cities, i'm talking about maps. And if i think San Diego is on the MAP, then thats just what i think, get the f*ck over it. I'm speculating just like you, and everyone else on this thread. If Rockstar hasn't shown you the entire map....and youre creating an entire map from some screenshots.....then youre Speculating too... Its not a big deal, chill out

[Arquit3D]

Please, stop with the more cities argument.

Confirmed by Playstation Europe. Los Santos & Blaine Country. No San Diego, no Las Venturas and no other (big) cities, just a lot of towns.

Look at the side of the bundle box.

Let's map what we CAN see.

analheim is in blaine county. look at my map, the area where analheim is has not been seen exept for the building in the airstrip background in trailer 2

[gwaha]

This is not a speculation thread about what may be in but it is a thread about what can be mapped based on evidence found in screenshots and trailers. There is no media showing San Diego or Anaheim. There is another thread for that discussion which is more based on wish lists.

[zuckmeslow]

ok fine ill save my analheim talk for when the game comes out. anyway i have a question for the fantastic mappers of this thread. do we know which way the buildings are facing, like looking at a screeshot of the buildings and figuring out north east west south

Yeah just because i said i believe San Diego is in there doesn't mean you have to put it on your maps. I understand that the maps have put things that they've seen in screen shots, but to say that its something is not on the map when you haven't seen the entire map yet, is pure speculation. Its good speculation, its reasonable speculation, but its still speculation. So whats everybody getting so upset about? If someone told me that a bedroom has a couch, a tv, and a desk in it....and I look through a window into the room, and i see part of the room, and i see a couch, a tv, a desk, I can speculate that there might be a bed in there somewhere too...Most bedrooms have beds. Thats all we're saying about San Diego.... its based off of Southern California...We only seen part of the map...there could be San Diego there too....

[Fail_At_GTA]

Just stop the different city speculation and stop spelling "Anaheim" as "Analheim".

[digital31]

no

[lazloisdavrock]

i have posted the december game informer q and a and a few different mouthouff responses. rockstar has said los santos is the only city multiple times.

 

"Will Las Venturas and/or San Fiero be in GTA V? "

 

"No. Rockstar chose to focus on making one proper city, Los Santos, rather than splitting that effort up into creating three."

 

proof

 

as to your speculation about san diego...... no......

 

as has been stated you are in the wrong thread.

[zuckmeslow]

i am sorry for starting the whole analheim thing on this thread. i have made a diff thread. people please respect this thread. but i beleive i found a city if the mappers want to look at it

Did they say only ONE CITY? No.

 

Did they say NO small Cities? No.

 

Read the context, the developer was talking about having San Fierro and Las Venturas in the game as opposed to just Los Santos.

 

So once again...Wrong.

 

Any more ?

The top of the arch says "Del Sol", which most likely is Marina Del Sol, which would be a play on Marina Del Ray.

digital, ill bet you $100 san diego or rockstars play on san diego is not in the game. you still think its in?

 

@ kindled, there is no reason to double post other than to annoy people. i replied to digital and hit post. then i saw your reply so i hit edit to reply to you. you would have posted again entirely which is unnecessary and takes up excess space. just hit edit. whats so hard about that? do you have a learning disability or something?
