Ola guys, i guess that scene with homeless in the GTA V trailer is there.. I hope everybody know point of lines

Could someone now figure out what the blurred Freeway signs would say at that area in Los Angeles in the trailer now that we know the exact spot?

There is a freeway heading in the left direction through downtown at that exact point in real LA actually. But it has no signs at that point

However there is a freeway heading in the exact direction about half a mile north of Downtown and guess what it says

In RL San Bernadino is written on the same track where it says Del Perro in the trailer. Some guy said that Del Perro means dog in spanish and San Bernadino sounds like the dog breed San Bernado in spanish. So maybe San Bernadino will be included in the game?

 

BTW i know that the road numbers aren't the same as in the trailer but there isn't a interstate 2 which goes through downtown in real life either

I think these two are the same bridge.

But I couldn't find an identical image.

 

Correct me If I'm wrong

[Pilotmonkey]

Looks legit.. I wonder why people are kayaking in a that

[Diesel311]

Looks damn close on the bridge! I would say yes, same bridge. It's hard to tell, but it appears that the right side of the bridge in the real pic is beginning to slope downhill. Than would match the in-game pic where the car is going downhill. If it's not the exact bridge, it's pretty close.

The second photograph looks like the bride that goes into the Los Santos stadium. Same canal and everything. Anyone have a image of it?

[SonofUgly]

No, it's the 4th Street bridge:

But you got one of the bridge not the canal? Thanks for that image.

[Pilotmonkey]

 

No, it's the 4th Street bridge:

for starters there no building where the car is. There are only trains there in real life so it cant be that.

It's sadly a mod and looks different from the original. Nonetheless, if you have SA, fire it up and you'll be able to find it.

 

EDIT: I also think it is the 4th Street Bridge. It simply has been re-modeled and re-placed, so you can't see the tracks. They might be under it though.

Well first of all Its LS its not LA second it could be that the bridge is going over trainrails but who knows

I think this lake is the MacArthur Park Lake. It is 2 miles West of Downtown LA:

I noticed that the city doesn't seem to be as big as real life LA. If you look closely on the helicopter screenshot you can see the Vincent Thomas bridge ( the one from the first trailer with the speedophile) in Long Beach.

 

 

Nothing wrong with that, but in real life the difference between downtown LA and Long Beach is about 30 km. That's about 20 miles.

 

 

 

I ask you guys does this look like 30 km between the two landmarks?

 

 

 

I ask myself where is south central? In real life it's between downtown LA and Long Beach. Maybe it's in the left side of LS like in San andreas. I think R* doesn't want to recreate every single street/part of LA like in LA Noire. Well actually LA Noire was set only in central LA and Hollywood so nevermind but you get what im trying to say i hope . I think they do this because the city would be way to boring with all the same looking typical LA streets. Another point could be technical issues with console performance due to less RAM maybe.

 

Sorry for my bad english BTW

The draw distances might be really good.Besides there are a lot lower buildings and Houses between Downtown and Thoms Bridge.

[Pilotmonkey]

No fence on the one in V. Probably not even finished yet

US Bank Tower looks puny from the real-life screenshot. That may explain its awkward shape.

[Eagle-Eye]

I made this.

I'm not so sure about Blue and Green though. but the Red circled building is a positive yes.(Thanks to Magnum Sandwich and PilotMonkey)

 

[RipGore]

It's not Echo Park Lake. Macarthur Park Lake looks more like the screenshot.

Srry but Cop Chasing car seen is in Downtown LS Just near Mile High Club and the Blue one is probably LSPD Departement

 

Edit: Blue one

Glen park?Glen Park is a district slightly to the north-east of the city centre of Los Santos San Andreas.

It is based on MacArthur Park and Echo Park .

[Diesel311]

The Boathouse from the screen cap is the exact boathouse in Echo Park Lake. They discussed it a few pages back. However, people are theorizing that it's a mashup of Echo Park and MacArthur Park.

[Pilotmonkey]

at the opening scene of the trailer you can see a heli in the distance. Could this be the same one?
