Chukkles Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Oh, and since Los Santos is based off LA which is in SoCal, I must thank you for proving my post correct! LA is in Southern Cali, one part of it. Southern Cali is a big place. LA is Not Southern California itself. Why do people find this so hard to understand??? I guess it's the stupid way R* have completely contradicted themselves in one statement. It LS with surrounding areas, but it's also Southern Cali. It's not our faults they have to be like this.

It's hard to wrap it around your head due to people like you who just believe with they're whole life that GTA V will feature 3 huge cities (usually Fierro and Venturas) when clearly it said that it will take place in Los Santos and the surrounding countryside, beaches, etc. If anything, there will be small towns like Blueberry or whatever in the countryside/deserts, but nothing big like you guys believe for some reason.

Magic_Al Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Seaplane doesn't need an airport. Cropduster only needs a rural airstrip. Hydra only needs an aircraft carrier. The Shamal needs airports but some of them could be small/private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already done their version of the entire state of cali. It's not unreasonable to assme they are making their version of half the state considering thats exactly what they're implying.

Verdant Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Planes definitely hint at a big map, but not necessarily another city. Agreed. But,the map will be big. As Sam/Dan Houser stated in the interview. So im sure there may be like an abandoned airport? Just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenpennyisplainevil Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) VTOL jet: doesn't confirm multiple cities Skimmer: just for water Shamal: it does almost confirm multiple cities. what will you use THIS plane for if there's only countryside? VTOL jets can land, Skimmers are water planes, but Shamals need a landing strip and are specifically used for transportation, and not transportation to a rural landing strip or an abandoned airport, I'm talking city airports Edited January 31, 2012 by tenpennyisplainevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezer89 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Planes probably won't even be playable, probably just part of a mission. I'm cynical? Yes, you are.. The trailer showed us four - I repeat: four(!) - different planes. Why would that be the case, if we can't fly them except in a mission or so? I am guessing some small towns with a bigger airport between them. And/Or maybe an abandonded airport, like in San Andreas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudoboi Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Clearly, we're going to be able to fly jet planes and fighter jets (at 1:00 in trailer in case you missed it) in GTA 5. If Los Santos is the only city and there are only a few scattered country towns, 'jet' planes would be absolutely unrealistic, no? Are we going to land on Main Street?The presence of jets can only mean that there are multiple cities as flying a jet from LS to a small town wouldn't make sense, and R* are all about making sense. And you wouldn't take-off from LS airport and fly around the map only to land back in LS. Is there any argument to be made as to how jets would work in a one-city GTA map? goddamit i couldnt even read ur post with ur profile pict xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V 9 L U K 3 4 V Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Im 100% sure that rockstar will put planes in this game for us to fly. I mean why would they hint at it so much im pritty sure there where 3 types of planes in the trailer rockstar wouldnt show them that much and then say oh by the way you cant fly em thats just stupid.

Versous Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) It was one of the first things I said after the trailer( I remember, I even posted a pic with an arrow pointing to the other side of the hill/mountain) and it'll certainly be one of the last thing I'll say before we finally know the details of the map. We don't know the place this plane comes from(the last one). It's a fact! Plus, you can see that this plane is about to land in Los Santos. So multiple airports/airstrips are pretty much confirmed. It doesn't confirm multiple cities, I agree but it does confirm multiple places to land and I don't think all those places will look the same...

Clem Fandango Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I hope you're all aware that most cities are nowhere near the size of Los Angeles anyway? They can still have several Alderney-sized cities that you spend time in as part of the story. San Diego is significantly smaller than LA but has airports and military bases. But maybe it will just be "Los Santos country", since Los Anegeles makes up a small portion of the region anyway.

And I think it will be Souther California in its entirety, since Los Anegeles makes up a third of the region anyway. Thats exactly what I'm talking about. I would even be happier with that due the diversity. Why would someone want 2 other big cities, if he could have lets say 6 (more or less) pretty different looking places?

junkpile Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Planes probably won't even be playable, probably just part of a mission. I'm cynical? No. In GTA IV trailers you also saw planes. But were they flyable? Nope. Maybe they just do have a cosmetic function. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vormek Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Planes definitely hint at a big map, but not necessarily another city. +1. It's a very big map and without a doubt bigger than San Andreas. The city of Los Santos in this game with be as big as Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas together.

John Footpenis Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was just thinking that there pretty much has to be more than one airport. I get this from seeing the cropduster. There has to be a place for it to land, and a major airport (where the shamal is likely heading) just wouldn't be right. I'm thinking there may be one or two smaller airports where planes like the cropduster or dodo land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe in LS Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Something I've been thinking of since the debut trailer - how close to the city of LA are the vineyards? It seems reasonable to assume the vineyards and the cropduster show that there'll be a worthwhile flyable distance from the small regional airport to the vineyard to make it worthwhile at the very least. Using logic, the vineyards wouldn't be too close to the supposed desert that could be on the east of the map, either. To me, it seems likely we'll have a few regional airports and one main one representing LAX, just to make the mental gap between mountains/highland/beaches/desert/city seem wider than it might be. And I really hope there's a boneyard not too far from the area with the wind farm, with a nice long landing strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the trailer and the 'Mapping Los Santos thread' LS has the size of Algonquin so it won't be much bigger than the 'old' Los Santos. That's wrong, LS will be two times bigger than Algonquin, maybe even bigger than this. From the trailer, it already looks like it's as big as at least three Algonquins side-by-side. From the shot with the oil rig, you can't see the ocean to the west, or whether the San Fernando Valley is on the other side of the mountains. From the shamal shot, you can't see the harbor. You know it's big as there's not one single shot in which you can see the whole city. Plus, if there's a nine hole golf course, it will easily be as big as Middle Park, if not bigger. Anyone who says LS will be small needs their eyes examined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe it will just be "Los Santos country", since Los Anegeles makes up a small portion of the region anyway. It'll be more than L.A. County. The windmill farm shot in the trailer suggests Riverside County will also be featured (and this is separated from L.A. by Orange and San Bernardino Counties). I would guess the vineyard shot is based on Ventura County, which is mostly beach towns and farms. This tells us V will most likely be based on the Greater L.A. metropolitan area, which is comprised of FIVE counties. This is what I'm hoping for, anyway, based on the trailer.

HOTMILFDAD Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Planes in trailer = planes in game. Multiple cities in trailer = multiple cities in game. *begins slow clap* Seriously, you guys just think Los Santos is going to be small just because you've played San Andreas. Judging from the immense detail they put in Liberty City in GTA IV as well as the press statement, it should be no surprise that GTA V's rendition of LA will be somewhat f*cking huge. Keep in mind that a city, especially LA, can have more than one airport. Also, if the game will feature a rather large countryside, desert, etc., we can expect to see multiple airports there too..abandoned or not.

Is the vineyard near the Vinewood sign? Not saying that because it has the same root word, but the Vinewood sign is on a big hill and so was the vineyard.
