Jeeebuuus Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Obviously it won't be close to Just Cause 2. Did you still have to make that so big? Most of Just Cause 2's map was a copy & pasted repetitive sh*t! , it was fun though.. I meant the size of JC2 like the size of his picture is really, hugely big.

I'm just saying GTA V doesnt need a map that big.. A map 2x times bigger than San Andreas with so much detail (like we saw in the trailer) is fine by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Wow. You don't realize how small GTA III actually is. Some of these newer maps are monsters, but I hope GTA V isn't too big. JC2 was like a chore to get around. It should be big enough to satisfy R*'s claim that it's their biggest map ever made, but it shouldn't be so big that it's literally boring to explore.

ClownDiary Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 If it was only Los Santos, he would have just gone straight to the point and said "Yes it will be only Los Santos" but he didn't. This doesn't prove anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtasadude Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Didn't you guys watch the trailer? The shot with the digger on the right and the city in the distance, that's probably less than half the size of the city alone and it was massive. The countryside looks huge too. This isn't copy pasta map making like JC2, they're probably focusing on one city alone. I'd love a JC2 size map personally, if it felt uniquely detailed all around. JC2 was fun as hell to travel around, awesome map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't prove anything. So you think its a good marketing plan to just go out an say "it's ONLY LS and the surrounding beach's and countryside." The reason they didn't say "only" is because it sounds too restrictive if you asked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuSsIeThUnDeR36 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Also look at the two parts they said. LA and surrounding country side and re-imaged of So-cal. Back in SA trailers, was just Los santos, then LV and SF came in to play. Who knows, maybe just LS in the first trailer but maybe another big city in So-Cal will be in it too, Like Bakersfield nd SD. Plus in GTA: IV, we all thought it'll be just LC, but we had a small Albery (NJ) in the play. Hopefully we can get a good idea on map size in a few months. o3o Planes. We must be able to fly to another airport. Why would they just have 'ONE' airport at Los Santos International? In the original SA, we played the Los Santos missions before being taken and dumped off in Angel Pine. But back then we had the whole map to look at. Maybe in GTA V we will see JUST the Los Santos map, then at some stage after finishing the LS missions, we get kidnapped or told 'Get your ass to SF' then SF opens up and you check the map and see that it has been added and the map size zoomed back more to show it. Whatever happens this game will be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you say so? Your reply didn't even make sense to my comment. What do you mean "Because you say so"? I'm about 80% sf and lv are not in the game and I was saying that if it was definite that there was no sf or lv he would have said it straight so there's no need to act like a pathetic smart ass.

The reason they didn't say "only" is because it sounds too restrictive if you asked me. I was suggesting anything he could have said. He could have said "LV and SF will not be featured in the game." I didn't mean for him to say exactly what I wrote but rather make it obvious that SF and LV won't be in the game to stop low lives on this forum from arguing at each other. Gosh I never knew this place was full of butt hurt GTA fans who get offended when someone posts something. I guess it was my mistake for replying.

JC2 was fun as hell to travel around, awesome map. Yes, I did watch the trailer and studied the 'Mapping LS-thread'. Based on that my conclusion is that LS isn't massive at all, my guess it's about halve the size of Liberty City in IV which leaves plenty of room for other cities.

kesta195 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well I dont believe that SF and LV will be in the game but they still havent disconfirmed it, they just said the same thing they said in the press release. The only way they can confirm this is to say 'Yes that's correct, SF and LV will not be in the game' or something along those lines. If they came out and announced that they were in the game, they wont have lied, they'll have just been misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddyboy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What amazes me is that they say it will be "their biggest map ever", but we only have Los Santos and thecountryside. The countryside must be ginormous then! Well, real life LA is massive; it’s far bigger than New York, geographically speaking. So it stands to reason that Rockstar’s biggest world ever would contain their largest city ever. Add in a healthy does of countryside and you have a very, very large map.

Meyus Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think GTA V set in two cities like GTA IV. GTA IV was set in two cities: Liberty City (New York) and Alderney (New Jersey). And GTA V, Los Santos (Los Angeles) and Los Puerta (San Diego - I guess Los Puerta is San Diego). I hope we'll see more cities.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even show the whole city in the trailer. It's way too early to determine how small or large LS really is. Landmarks are always closer together in GTA, but L.A. is ginormous and we don't know all the areas R* will feature. There may be something on the other side of those mountains or there may be more to the south than we realize. And there's a ginormous 9 hole (presumably) golf course somewhere in there. I suspect it will be closer to LC's size than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorneliusCoffin Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ladies and gentlemen, may I direct your attention at this little fellow "-". It's a dash and it's often used to put a special emphasis on something. Why would you care? Because there is one of them little weird-o's in the sentence we're discussing. One that hasn't been there when it was initially released. In a way that's like saying: We can't give it away yet, but expect something special. Then again, it could all be strategy to get us talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezer89 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 San Diego or some other city, with little towns in the countryside. Fixed. There will be "only" Los Santos as the main city.. and few small towns. Like in San Andreas where the towns were located on north and west of Los Santos (in the coutryside). And the entire map will be much larger than San Andreas. That's just my own opinion which sounds most logical and realistic. I really would be surprised, if there is another big city besides Los Santos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lslarko Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Six of one half a dozen of the other, we will all know in a few months when they actuaclly start releasing details, until then get used to that statement coming from rockstar whenever V is mentioned in an interview, it will never confirm or deny any theories no matter how many times its read. In short none of us know a darn thing for all we know it could really be set on the moon and the "trailer" was rockstar tugging our chains with some footage of them porting SA to Rage for a laugh...... so stop bitching about where or where not this game will take place. /Rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reform Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 "Grand Theft Auto V is set in the city of Los Santos and its surrounding hills, countryside and beaches" Where do people read into that that there will be multiple other cities? This thread reeks of hopeless optimism and glassy-eyed denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
