Mapping Los Santos! Building/landmark analysis

[mooonlights]

 

 

It is certain. Los Santos is bigger than Liberty City.

nevermind, i think this guy got it right.

Please tell me why. Just why would someone upload there when imgur, a much better, faster service, exists. It baffles me, really.

 

EDIT: So where is Balcony Guy?

I think that shape of that building matches , angle of view from gold club at skycapers too. I marked every wall of that building with diferent color for better

comprasion between these 2 angles

Great work guys. Especially BoolCaX...

 

Yeah that does look to be the country club. You can sort of see the sand traps if you look closely. I think Rockstar chose the darker sunset time of day to hide a lot of the details of the city. To me the city is starting to look and feel a lot smaller than I had hoped. However since I am a firm believer of San Fierro and Las Venturas being in V I think everytime Los Santos seems smaller the more chances SF and LV will be in the game. Either way I won't be disappointed.

Where are the palms what we can see in trailer ?

They didn't need to tell us that, it's a given. New York is small city.

Look right in the corner of the red outline. The latest heli pic. Right in the left corner, that building looks modern, i.e like the buildings surrounding ned luke in his shot. Could be around there. Maybe beyond that point are the hills and rich area?

I see there some palms, but yeah. It seems they have removed some of them or so.

vincent thomas,myfriend.but,don't worry

[DaWiesel]

^Yeah, I think that highway at the interchange going to the north is connected with that bridge. Isn't that bridge part of an interstate in L.A.?

[Malle324]

So guys, it looks like the highway is going around Los Santos Downtown

Lol, thats the one, spelling never was my strongpoint.

 

Was in GTA SA to, much smaller though:

I don't think that's a T-interchange. Looks like a road is going under that overpass and it may connect with that main street where we see those cars but i'm not sure.

The two pics from yesterday with the buildings identified so far.

I added the Cedars-Sinai Hospital that I just found.

 

 

 

Also, It seems that LS is much more condensed than I thought at first.

I believe that Venice Beach and Santa Monica are visible in the helicopter screen and that we've seen pretty much all the western area of the city.

I'm starting my map from scratch (well almost) and I hope I'll be able to post it this afternoon.

[MLGTA]

Do you Guys think that the screens released were more recent than the trailer cause things look better in the first trailer

I can't believe I just noticed this !

This could mean we could experience seasonal change !

[Mamunda]

Or there will be some kind of ski resort in higher mountains?

 

On this MP3 vehicle list supposedly from GTA V, there were some snowmobiles listed.

 

Also have you meant top left corner? Because this looks like snow.

I don't see what you guys are talking about where do you see snowy mountains?

Yeah , sorry . * left corner

Providing there is snow , I have no doubt we'll see jetskis too , this game will be big.

Yeah it might be fog and the mountain behind it.

Its most likely fog cause that would be a weird transition between snowy mountains and desert type

mountains
