I would make piece with the fact if it's Los Santos only with 2 other cities. Like said before; LC from GTA IV only included one city from GTA III. Maybe they do the same thing with GTA V now.

 

I didn't like San Fierro anyway, only it's country side and mountains.

 

I think it's going to be Los Santos and a city named Los Puerta and some other city yet to be announced or Las Venturas.

 

I liked Las Venturas. I was addicted to gambling in the casino's lol. Also the desert style was to my liking.

Good post, The cool thing about LA is that it does have some casinos...theres one right off of I5.

Good find.

 

@ post below, you know what I mean.

 

 

If I (once again) quote what Rockstar ''officially'' announced:

 

 

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

 

(And to people that tell everyone they announced things other than above, please stop posting, because this little sentence above is the only freaking thing they told us so far).

 

It says that is heads to Los Santos. Yet it doesn't say ''only'' Los Santos or more than Los Santos. So if we use the small part of our brain that is active and try to be able to use it in a way that makes us able to see through Rockstar's minimalistic information giving strategy; I may think it's Los Santos and 2 different cities.

 

If they told (and please be gentle, this is just my way of thinking) us that it headed back to San Andreas it may have been clear it also would've been SF and LV. Though they didn't can be caused by two things. They want to tease us or they just have not included them.

 

If rumors are true and they indeed made Los Santos an X amount of times bigger, then it wouldn't be rockstar to split it in 3 pieces and connect them with bridges and surround them with water. That's what they've been doing since GTA III.

 

If they indeed made 3 slices of Los Santos they could easily be some other countries that lay in Southern California.

 

Conclusion:

 

It's just not Rockstar to make one big city and not surround it with water.

 

 

 

Though this post will be outpaged in a little amount of time I now realize that this hype is not to be stopped so therefore I realized I'm just wasting another few minutes of my free time to try and make people think about this the way I do.

R* have confirmed that V will take place in a re-imagined Southern California:

 

 

"Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California."

--R* Press Release

 

What comprises present day Southern California?

 

 

Southern California (SoCal) is a megaregion, or megapolitan area, in the southern area of the U.S. state of California. Large urban areas include Greater Los Angeles, Greater San Diego, the Inland Empire and Orange County. The urban area stretches along the coast from Ventura through the Southland and Inland Empire to San Diego. The international border of the United States and Mexico makes up the southern border. Southern California is a major economic center for the state of California and the nation.

--Wikipedia

 

GTA V will be comprised of multiple cities. Just not the ones that we were all expecting. Also, there is a possibility that we get involved in some sort of cross border U.S./Mexican drug war.

No, they already said its LS with country side. No more no less. Just because a road sign points to an area called Los Peurtas or whatever doesnt mean its going to another city. Most likely thats a small town or something, or possibly the name of another area within LS. They already said theres not gonna be any other cities. You just need to deal with it. Wishful thinking is only gonna lead to disappointment when you find out LS is the only city.

The most educated, thought out form of speculation I've eve read while being a member of this site. I have to say I gave up believing we would have SF and LV. But, reading this has me doing my reasearch and having some form of hope. However, I won't be upset if these two cities weren't in V

Why can't people accept the fact that there won't be SF and LV?

They're just in denial, and desperately hanging on to any hope that it could still include San Fierro and Las Venturas. How pathetic they are.

Your post is pathetic. We're discussing whether sf and lv will be in it. Not crying about it not being in the game. Stupid moron.

Yeah, I'm the moron. dozingoff.gif

You bring no real proof how we're morons. Please, no flaming. And yes, there IS good reason to believe there is more than just LS (everyone has the right to doubt).

 

Arguments Reviewed:

1. Interstate 5 - This is the most strongest. Los Puerta might be another city in the game, possibly San Diego (even though of course it isn't north) since the Los Puerta Freeway is probably a nod to the I-5 portion of Los Angeles called the San Diego freeway. Certainly it doesn't mean that SF will be in the game, but this just confirms (at least in my opinion) that San Diego will be in the game.

 

2. They did it with the first GTA: SA trailer - They did so. I'm not completely sure whether they announced 3 cities already, but they certainly showed LS first, then we saw more cities.

 

3. Planes - This is also strong. The only thing that can counter this is that LA and Orange County has more than 1 airport. This is true, but it's still only 1 city. It would make more sense that there is another major city, whether it's SF, LV or San Diego.

 

4. Possible Desert - I will counter this one. Sure, it could be in Bone County, but this could be in the Mojave (which is near LA). However, it's interesting indeed.

 

5. Mount Chilliad - Yes, it could be Mount Chilliad but redesigned to look more like Mount Diablo, but it could be any mountain, some have said it's Mt. Whitney.

 

6. Windmills - I agree. It actually bares more of a resemblance to the Tehachapi Pass than anywhere else.

 

7. This is how Rockstar is - This x1000.

 

Also, I'm going to help this guy a little:

 

8. The Era - In GTA IV, there were no references to the States of California OR Nevada. However, in a Liberty Tree article, San Andreas is referred as a state. This could mean that San Andreas is a state in the game, but comprising both California and Nevada, and hence replacing both states.

 

9. The Statement - Many have said that the statement on the Rockstar site confirms it's only Los Santos. Let's analyze this.

 

"Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created."

It says it heads to. This could mean the story mainly takes place in Southern California, but SF and LV could play a minor role in the story.

 

"A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California."

 

This can't really be used as proof. Again, it could just mean the story, but not all of the game, takes place in Southern California.

 

Anyway though, even if it's only Southern Cal, I'm still happy. It's better than the East Coast...

GTA III Liberty wasnt all surround by water TROLOLOLO

It wasn't? what was it surrounded by? and why in the hell did I have to cross all of those bridges ?

Remember the large empty grassy hills that span behind Shorside Vale? That's supposed to be connecting the city to America.

It must explain something, since you've just admitted SF and LV aren't in it.  You're right that there could be other SoCal cities in the game, we won't know until they tell us, and speculating on that isn't part of this thread, since the title of this thread is about how the 3 cities are LS, SF and LV.  Elsewhere, there's been speculation that San Diego is possible, or as kendoyanar suggests, maybe the border with Mexico.

I think there is a posibility that there will be 3 different cities, but it probably will be a really large "copy" of LA (as liberty city was new york)

 

will be split up in three.

 

but the posibility that there are 3 different cities, are there.

 

The title of the thread here is "why there are 3 cities in gta v"

 

yes the person who made the topic is talking about las venturas an san fierro, but why can't I think that there might still be 3 cities but not those two included? Seeing as the title is about why there might be 3 cities.

I thought that the idea of discussing cities other than SF and LV would be interesting, and it'd be a shame to lose that discussion among all these people trying to convince others that SF and LV are in SoCal. However, it looks like other people are talking about it now, so: I'm with those saying that San Diego and the Mexican border could be in this game. What do you think?

Planes are the main argument for more than 1 city.

But why can't there be new cities? Or new towns? If LV and SF are in GTA V I'll be quite happy but also sad that R* avoided completely re-imagining South California and instead completely followed their consumer's orders. But they won't, so I'm sticking my money down on no SF/LV.

I don't think you're gonna change anyone's minds with this, but it's good to see the entire argument presented in such a well-organized fashion. I personally believe it will probably comprise pretty much entirely of Los Santos, but I hold out hope that there are more cities, if not SF and LV, at least some SoCal cities that haven't yet been GTA-fied. Namely, San Diego. Also, Tijuana (I know it's Mexico, but give no f*cks).

And who else's orders are they gonna follow? If they put the consumer first, then LV and SF should be in the game.

I hope we wont see stupid army again

 

@up

remember GTA IV?  There were planes but you can not drive/fly them biggrin.gif

Too much attention to planes this time.

Sure, hm. Oh! In GTA VC there was Skimmer - that one small plane - Vice City was smaller GTA city (town?) so why not in huge LS?

 

PS. Maybe not SF because of Driver: SF and it will be judged as Driver copy-cat

THIS is the argument for more than one city:
