Letsgobowling Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Unfortunately, I do not believe there will be more bigger cities like Los Santos. I'd love it though This leads me to believe there will be others airports in surrounding desert towns in Blaine County, airstrips, and airports in suburbs in places similar to real life Orange County and Palm Springs.

Skyline_Mad Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I just spent a few minutes looking through all the screenshots released so far, and it does look like their avoiding a big part of the map, all we can see in the screens is Los Santos and the countryside to the north of the city (if the orientation of the city is similar to real life). They have yet to show whats to the north east/east of the city, which could have a whole lot more countryside and maybe another city/large town, so it's possible as mentioned that they are hiding alot of the map, to stop giving away what else there is. From the screens it looks like the map ends at the mountains to the west of Los Santos, and the coastline continues up past what is believed to be mt Chilliad, so for all we know everything we've seen so far could be a half or even 3rd of the whole map. And if it is bigger than GTASA, GTAIV and RDR combined, then what we have seen does not look like enough to be that size. The scene in the trailer (trevor driving a jeep out a plane) shows alot of desert, but the screens do not show much of a large flat desert area, so that could be part of the map not shown in screens. I made a quick rough sketch of what i believe to be what we have seen so far, certain areas i'm not sure about their location so i left them out (towns, wind farm etc...): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wojas Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 We haven't seen yet many suburbs/cities near los angeles (east: pasadena, san bernardino, south: orange county, long beach). I think that they are hiding them. I think that R* probably show some suburbs on the next trailer. With them los santos will be huge. LS little bigger than la noire is more than possible.

I suggest you to have a view into the map analysis thread. There are maps which are more accurate than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wojas Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Los Santos is bigger than Liberty city FACT http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/arc...PostPageIndex=2 + around 20 square miles of deserts mountains countryside I think that the city should occupy the 1/3 of the land area of the map.(10 square miles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iddqdvie Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 we can only hope for the best. right now i am replaying san andreas a little bit, cruising around, flying around... and the best thing are those 3 cities. this feeling of going from a to b and to c is just super amazing!!! u can't just leave that out. i am hoping for a mexican border with tijuana and something similar in size in the north. and maybe something to the east. i mean, there must be something !!! has to be !!!!

I suggest you to have a view into the map analysis thread. There are maps which are more accurate than yours. I looked in the analysis thread and one map i found had at least 1 thing wrong; the screenshot overlooking the city (with 2 protags), it shows the beach and the docks which according to his map are in the wrong direction. Dont get me wrong its a nice example of what the map is like, just wrong in some places. And i never said my map was right, just a very rough sketch of how i think it is. countrysides and deserts on those sketch are way too small! since we already know for a fact that LS will be the size of the whole GTAIV map, i believe the rest should be nearly the size of RDR and SA maps, so your sketch is wrong... I am including the parts of the map we have not been shown (if there is any), and its not to scale either, i just made it quick as a rough guide as to where certain landmarks are.

Yellow_Snow Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Game Informer: You just released the GTA V trailer. Can you talk about that project in any respect? Obviously, it looks like it's going back to San Andreas. Dan Houser: I've got to be real careful here, or they will drag me through the office and whip me with barbwire. I will stick to exactly what's in the press release. It's Los Santos and the surrounding countryside - and a very big map. Since this, i believe there is more than 1 major city. Uhm... yeah. This leads me to convince that it's just Los Santos. http://i.imgur.com/aYWJ8h.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like people were still gabbing about the voice of CJ in the trailer, even after it had been stated by Rockstar that no one from before GTA IV would even be mentioned in V. I do not doubt that Dan Houser meant something with that barbwire sentence. But there will not be an entire second city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samzemyyy Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I hope there is a lot of badlands too, and not just desert and mountains at the countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizeway Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 There has to be many things surrounding each side of this hill...Look at the hills in the distance, I mean there cannot just be los santos and the desert lol Maybe in the next trailer they will suprise us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Hitman Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Damn, I read this thread back then, long before I registered here. OP and other worried posters were right with their concerns, unfortunately. R* wasn't "hiding a lot" back then. We THOUGHT they were, especially because of that Chiliad hiker scene from trailer 1, which turned out to be a massive bait. Especially barely any land behind those hills that encircle the map (Palomino Highlands etc. - imagine having more landmass with towns behind those areas, or behind Mt. Gordo). So yeah, OP, you became suspicious, and you were right. Unfortunately. Map layout really, really sucks in GTA V (IMO).

Americana Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I remember a screenshot when they showed whole Sandy Shores and the desert. We thought they'd be more to it, but that is like 60% of usable countryside. billiejoearmstrong8, NightmanCometh96, Yannerrins and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even before the game came out, people knew that other than small towns, Los Santos was gonna be the only city.
