Borras81 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just to speculate how long it might take to cross the map end to end in a car in real time. I'd say San Andreas took around 8 to 10 minutes by car from Los Santos to Bayside or the desert airstrip, without crashing ( or stopping to mess about on the way for the hell of it ) but obviously the new map will be far bigger so I'm hoping for at 30 minutes this time round or maybe even more, that would mean even a jet would take 10 minutes at least to cross the map.

Andreas Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You must be kidding. 30 minutes? That's like Just Cause 2 if not longer. I don't know. I don't have this game. But there is no way that it'll take 30 minutes to cross the map in GTA V. You'll have to deal with big disappointment, my friend.

Johan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I forgot how long it took in Red Dead from the top right of the map (or Tall Trees) to the bottom right of Mexico.. but if I had a guess I'll say double that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loony979 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 so tell me who sits there & times there journeys ? certainly not me ,i prefer to enjoy the game... Jesus Christ ,whats with these new threads ,so not5 needed... Sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Above Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I hope it will take 48 hours to cross the map by car (in-game time). I don't know how much 1 in-game hour in GTA IV corresponds to real time but if you know you can make the calculation.

Jesus Christ ,whats with these new threads ,so not5 needed... Sorry... thanks for adding to the discussion ____ I think 30 minutes is a bit too long. I think maybe 15-20 minutes. I'm not 100% sure though. I can't remember how long it took to get from Grove St to San Fierro in San Andreas so I can't really compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyResta Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think a good 15-20 minutes would be perfect. People complaining about not wanting to travel long distances, remember the cabs in GTA IV? Enter destination and skip journey, easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirthOfMayhem Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 3 min flying in a jet from corner to corner would be good. That ought to be something like 20 minutes in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclodyon Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I remember reading somewhere that in Just Cause 2 it took around 10 minutes to get from one side of the map to the other in the fastest jet in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathdiggerswe Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I'd, more than anyone, enjoy a huge map, without suffering of discomfort by the big journeys , but i just don't think it's realistic... Probably around 15 - 20 mins IMO. Edited August 15, 2012 by deathdiggerswe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kifflom112 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 First San Andreas ever took me 10 minutes to drive across. I have to say I'd like the map to be 36square miles. That would take a while. I know for a fact that even though the V map may not be as big as some Just Cause crap or Fuel, it will be many times better because of the level of detail and it's actually going to look interesting. Games that usually have incredibly huge maps most of the times have a lot of repetition and/or low level of detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L24 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Time isn't important as in-game immersion, like space feeling, landscapes "wow", good draw distance, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekoloco Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Even RDR has a huge map and lots of space with nothing ... I prefer a map with high quality and large (SA)-filled spaces of vegetation, rocks and the odd tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdant Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 30 minutes? Nah, not that. Like others have said, 10 minutes is enough. For example Red Dead Redemption from say Blackwater to Chuparosa took a while. Personally, a bit longer then that would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodor Hodor Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Maybe about 20 minutes as it would get boring going back and forth between places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki18760 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I don't think 30 minutes corner to corner is unreasonable. Ever time yourself in GTA 4 from corner to corner took over 15 in average traffic in a car. They already said this one was three times bigger. I think 30 minutes would be about right. I want enough space to fly so that means a massive map. Flying for three minutes and turning around ins't my idea of fun when it come to Hydra flying. Taxi travel if you don't like the distance, I can find civilians to run over and police chases to get into on a long drive it makes it entertaining. I think 30-40 minutes is about right.

John Footpenis Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 In IV I just drove from Faustin's house to the abandoned casino. Stopping for the toll it took me 3:57. 10 minutes feels pretty good to me now. If IV is about 6 Sq.mi including water then that gives us about 14 Sq.mi of highly detailed play area. That's about the same as San Andreas but I can't really expect too much more given the detail and time needed for a map such as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1T8 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I remember reading somewhere that in Just Cause 2 it took around 10 minutes to get from one side of the map to the other in the fastest jet in the game. ten minutes? nah, dude. i have the game and i'm pretty sure it does not take that long using the dragonfly or whatever to get across... probably 3 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faizanali Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 while watching the trailer i realized either the Draw Distance is gonna be amazing in GTA V or the map is short as hell Now in this pic notice that the Hills back there seem very close to the Pier its either an illusion on the games Engine or the map is really small or moderate. P.S. i don't know how to resize pics in this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
