Dick Valor Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 THIS IS NOT NEW. http://uk.ign.com/wikis/grand-theft-auto-5/Blaine_County No one said it was. What's new (or at least interesting) is that R* singled out Los Santos and Blaine County... as if these are the only two main locations in the game. Before, everyone figured Blaine County would be one of several counties. The new post from R* almost makes it seem as if Los Santos and Blaine County make up the entire map. That's why there's so much new speculation about Blaine Country and its relationship to LS and the map as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic_Al Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Los Angeles is in Los Angeles County, so Los Santos is likely in Los Santos County, though in the compressed geography of GTA the city and county probably have the same boundary. Blaine County may be based partly on Kern County, the county to the north of Los Angeles County. Another way to think of it is Blaine County being to Los Santos as Alderney is to Liberty City, though in GTAIV those areas were separate states while in GTAV both counties are in the state of San Andreas.

LotusRIP Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I thought it was always called Blaine County. How is this news? or maybe it is and one of the leaks was right? I've always known it to be Blaine County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Valor Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 ^^^ There's something sadly ironic about the fact that half a dozen posters have already posted in this thread that Blaine County is old news... as if this revelation was new news. "Of course many other modes of transport will also be available to accommodate your travel needs across Los Santos and Blaine County on September 17th..." - R* (4/15/13) Blaine County is old news, certainly, but the possibility that LS and BC are all there is to V's map (as implied by today's statement) is new news... or at least new cause for speculation as to the municipal makeup/organization of V's map.

Cutter De Blanc Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 They were calling the gameworld Los Santos before. Now they're calling it Los Santos and Blaine County. Makes me think Blaine county is really gonna be huge on a level we're not expecting. Makes me also wonder if you can ditch the cops to a degree by crossing county lines.

Deffpony Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I dont want to be that guy, but I think people are looking too much into it. I think that they were just trying to include Trevor in this update somehow. They have said that they dont want to have any portagonists as favorite. So after releasing artworks of Michael and Franklin and decided to mention Trevor and his native region of Blaine county to keep him in the fans minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffpony Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Where did they say "only Los santos and Blaine county". Just because they didn't say any other areas doesn't mean they don't exist. And for all we know Blaine county could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightandfast Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 We've known about Blaine County for about 5 months now. We always knew there was country side but they gave it a name in Game Informer. I think it's located in Los Santos which consists of Los Santos City, Blaine County, the Salton Sea area, Mt Chilliad, farms, desert etc...

Los Santos County Sheriff Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I know its hard, by try to use your brains here people. There is only going to be ONE county in the game, Blaine county, and everything, including Los Santos, is a part of it. If there were different counties then rockstar would have to make a sheriffs office for each one. That means they would have to design separate uniforms and cars for each one. We all know that r* isnt real big on properly designing cops so they aren't going to put that much effort into it. As it stands now there are only three uniformed departments in the game - LSPD, BCSO and SASP. Now i know there are going to be some "people" on here who are going to reply saying "uR wr0ng!!1! Thr wyl bi sevrl d1ffrnt counteez en da gaym!!!1!!1". You will say this because your to ignorant to use proper logic. So ill give my response here in a simple way you can understand - You're wrong. Shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un94 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I really hope that they just didn't mention the other countries in the game. Don't like the Idea of having just LS and Blaine County. Hopefully there are renditions of Red County, Flint County, Blueberry, etc. (maybe with other names). More forest- and farm-like areas. We've just seen some desert, mountains and sparse areas so far.

Ben73 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 WE have already seen the city, beaches, suburbia ghettos, desert, mountainous country side, small towns. I honestly couldn't give a flying f*ck whether it is 1 county, 2 counties or 10. It's just an imaginary boarder. As long as the map looks awesome who cares really?

Enough of the crap about what constitutes a county and what doesn't, honestly are you really going to cry about it when the game comes out and you are wrong? ffs and lastly Los Santos is a CITY. CITY OF LOS ANGELES, GET IT? I've never heard it called County of LA that's just plain weird, like County of New York. See what I mean? It ain't the wild west in the city guys.

I've never heard it called County of LA that's just plain weird, like County of New York. See what I mean? It ain't the wild west in the city guys. Not to be overly pedantic or anything, but there is such thing as Los Angeles County, and I've heard that terminology used quite often to describe the surrounding area of Los Angeles without referring specifically to the city. Los Angeles (the city) is a municipality within that county. Assuming the same thing applies in GTA V's world, Los Santos is within Los Santos County. You're right about New York, though. Each borough of New York City is its own county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official General Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) This is not new, what the f**k is OP talking about ? Since when was Blaine County just newly discovered ? Blaine County was mentioned in the second trailer in the part Trevor is introduced as the guy who "controls meth and arms trafficking in Blaine County". Most of us knew this already a long time ago. Either you paid no real attention to the details of the second trailer, or you're very late to the party. @ Mr. Darko No such things as Los Angeles County ? Really ? Well what is this ?

cryptorelic Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) You guys think too much about it, they official confirmed that and just because its the only county they confirmed you start to think you will just have LS and that single county ?

JOSEPH X Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County and San Bernadino County are all counties in and around the Los Angeles area Blaine county is probably R*s version of Riverside County which stretches from the LA built up area to the Salton Sea.

Isuck100% Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Interesting. As far as I can tell, there are three ways to interpret R*'s special shout out to Los Santos and Blaine County. From least likely to most likely: 1. The V map is based on one ginormous county (Blaine County) and Los Santos is the largest city in Blaine County. 2. The V map is primarily composed of two large counties: Los Santos County and Blaine County. It was merely an oversight that R* didn't say "Los Santos and Blaine Counties." 3. Los Santos and Blaine Counties are just two of several counties that comprise V's map. They are merely the most significant counties in the game since Michael and Franklin live in Los Santos County and Trevor lives in Blaine County. Whatever the case, it doesn't change the fact that V is bigger than SA, IV, and RDR combined! I would rule out option number 3 because I do not believe they would specifically list Los Santos and Blaine County if there were other counties in the game. Both options 1 and 2 are possibilities. If the city of Los Santos was situated in Blaine County, I would think Rockstar would say "Los Santos and the rest of Blaine County" rather than naming them as though they are separate. So I can see there either being two counties, Los Santos County and Blaine County, or one giant Blaine County that includes the city of Los Santos and the entirety of the map. I will stick with the former theory for now, simply because of Rockstar's wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGodDamnMaster Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Blaine county is probably the "second city" part of the game, only it's made up of villages and countryside.
