œaœa Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks for proving how small it is by finding pretty much every limit of the city. Okay, don't buy the game then. Go play... cod.. or.. something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2191987 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I wasnt able to read the 100 or so pages of this thread; but has anyone noticed or mentioned that in the background to the top left; it seems to be a bridge that closely resembles the golden gate bridge? Does this mean it would include more cities or major areas beside the "parody" of los angeles? It has been mentioned, but we've generally arrived at the conclusion that it is not the Golden Gate Bridge; rather, it is the Vincent Thomas Bridge.

Dick Valor Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Don't be an idiot. You have no idea how far behind the city goes, and how far to the left or right it goes. Exactly, I'm not an idiot, and I know that right behind this impersonation of Beverly Hills, the city of Los Angeles stops - I know it's Los Santos, but I can't see them invent a whole new part of a city that's not in Los Angeles to put it in Los Santos. The city is small. Now, "our biggest open-world game" probably means the countryside is f'kin huge or there are other small major cities (San Fierro/Las Venturas) You don't know that, actually. Your ignorance of L.A. geography (and perhaps a longing for additional major cities?) have caused you to falsely assume we've seen the borders of LS. Real life L.A. city extends beyond the Santa Monica Mountains (check a map). The San Fernando Valley (to the northwest), San Gabriel Valley (to the northeast), and Orange County (to the southeast) are all suburban areas that could still be parodied and extend the cityscape much farther than has been revealed in the trailer (all without "inventing" new areas of the city). Mountains and long distances still obscure these areas and we really don't know where LS starts and ends just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder 556 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 FCM, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's not that hard to see that, from the helicopter picture and the one with the Oil Derrick, we can easily tell Los Santos is about 2 times the size of Liberty City. And no. It's not a "Re-imagined Los Angeles" It's a re-imagined SoCal. We may both be Canadian, but do you know what's beyond the Hollywood hills in real life? That's right. The City of Burbank. GTA V is guaranteed to have more than Los Santos, because it's not Grand Theft Auto: Los Santos, it's GTA: SoCal, going from the announcement press release. Burbank is probably gonna be parodied. In the Oil Derrick picture, we can see the US Bank Tower far in the distance. Now obviously I don't have much knowledge of LA and surrounding areas, but does anyone know where the Oil Derrick would be, respectful of actual LA? I know it's somewhere in the North East area, as we can see the ocean, and the ocean is to the west of LA, so I'm going to say it's on the hills behind the Pasadena area? Someone more knowledgeable of the area should correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoV Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 And What is that? Where is the propeller of the helicopter? Maybe, they are not the same. already mentiond The top one definitely is a new helicopter variant, and the one in the 2nd pic is the famous Maverick helicopter I KNOW! Its a winch. Like in SA helicopters can deliver re-enforcements. !!!!! Customisable helicopters lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greater Los Angeles Area goes over the mountains, but is Los Santos? No. I believe it will to a certain extent. Enough 12 year olds have cried for a larger map for Rockstar to take notice so i believe that R* may include some of the boring suburbs as well as the countryside just to make the big map whores happy lol. I personally believe that Los Santos alone could be as large as 3X larger than liberty city. But i think realistically it will be about 2X larger. You just couldn't make the scale realistic by having a parody of LA be the same size as a parody of NYC and Rockstar is going for realism now days.

I don't know how judging by the US Bank Tower can confirm the city is twice as large as Liberty City. I could agree on "twice as large as Algonquin" though. Why would Burbank be in GTA V? It's a f*cking pointless suburb. You probably know that Rockstar doesn't have much of a history in terms of creating suburbs for GTA games. And anyway, this is NOT real0life Los Angeles, this is Los Santos, and Los Santos does not go over the mountains. And the oil derrick is south-east of the city on the mountains, not north-east.

Tons of bridges all around the world have similar designs. Having towers at each end of a bridge isn't exclusive to the golden gate bridge. google the Vincent Thomas bridge.
