STOGE Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 i see on this forum that a lot of OP,S reckon that los santos will be the same size as liberty city, i would be majorly dissapointed if that is the case. I am no expert but for starters is LA not way bigger in terms of urban sprawl?? I would be hopefull that rockstar will create los santos URBAN area( not country) way bigger than liberty city and not just "the same size" as LC, as i think that would be poor. Surely it will be bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showstopper 26 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Same size. Just the city of V will be as big as ALL of IV. Then there's the country, mountains, underwater, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepolitician Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have been flying a lot in GTAIV and looking at Liberty City as a whole. I have been analyzing all of the screens out there and both trailers countless times. My opinion is yes it is. If you pushed Broker/Dukes, Algonquin and Alderney together without the rivers it is probably around the same size as Los Santos. That is a big city if you ask me. Los Santos is also only part of the map which is killer. So if you can see the city from behind the Vinewood hills, that will truly be incredible. The best picture of the city IMO is the night shot of trevor skydiving over Los Santos. The city's lights look amazing and just how they would really look like above L.A. At night.

Then there's the country, mountains, underwater, etc. This is what i mean though. i hope that its BIGGER than the whole of gta iv before we start going to the country and adjoining towns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxfever Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) I thought they said that only the downtown area will be a bit smaller than the size of LC? And so I'd assume that the city would be much larger than Liberty as a whole? Never mind this! Edited January 14, 2013 by Duxfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonfy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Here's an extimate comparison between Liberty City and Los Santos urban area from the Mapping Los Santos thread: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...entry1062131157 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Banger Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 According to GI, the "expansive environment includes beachfronts, wine country, a large wilderness area surrounding a fully explorable Mt. Chiliad, a Salton Sea region, a military base, and of course the sprawling suburban hills leading up to the bustling urban centre of Los Santos." Anyways, how can Houser create that "sense of sprawl" without the suburbs? There must be some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshio_maxoS Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The city is as big as LC as far as I know, but the rest 5x bigger then LC. particularly the Mointain and the Sea. Oh yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city is not going to be as ridiculous as yall think. And no downtown is not the size of LC that would be f*cking retarded. Downtown L.A. ain't even that big.

Id be really happy if this is the case look at the screens,it's not bigger ,don't get too excited this. In the large "map-thread" it is clearly shown that it's not as big as most of the fans think it will be. I think it's large enough and if it's density is packed detail, I'm fine with the size they estimate there. But it clearly is not as bis as IV, SA and RDR combined. I doubt that. Even when interiors are counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kricco Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 GTA V map will be at least 2x the size of Liberty City, or maybe 3x. Rockstar confirmed the size of the map. bigger than SA, RDR and IV combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really expect GTA V map to be monumentally larger than Liberty City.. However, GTA IV was a concrete jungle, with a bit of variety and dead space, GTA V could "feel" a lot bigger.

Kifflom112 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's either the same size or a bit smaller. If you piece the panoramic picture and the daytime hollywood sign picture together, it shows the whole city except for whats in, around, and behind the hills. It's an okay size for me, it's more interestingly laid out than LC for me. And we got freeways and countryside so I'm okay. PS: Only thing we really can't see of LS is the area northwest of Santa Monica knock off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Banger Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) It's either the same size or a bit smaller. gtamodeler's map says otherwise dude. We have yet to see the "suburban hills" they talked about With that said, even if it's only just about the size Liberty, I'd be pretty happy as it felt large enough for me. So, it's a win-win situation for me. and dem details Edited January 14, 2013 by Ferocious Banger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will "deliver" this time (again) but I also doubt lots of the things they said in interviews. Lots of it is just marketing. Follow people through the town, see them working, then drive home, etc - this was "promised" since GTA SA and never happened as they made us believe. So I have high expectations for V, but not as high as some of the folks on these (and other) boards on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
