The blueprint map we were shown isn't finished.

"Blueprint Map:

This exclusive, additional 21.5” x 26.75” map displays a blueprint view of Los Santos and Blaine County. Cryptic markings indicate locations for fast cash and other points of interest for the up-and-coming entrepreneur." (source-http://www.gtav.net/news/4530/special-and-...ition-announced)

 

There seems to be no "cryptic" markings on the blueprint mock-ups. This can only mean the blueprint isn't complete. This leads me to believe if the markings aren't there yet, there's a strong possibility other things have been purposely left off the blueprint images we have seen. Plus as we know, Rockstar, are only showing us what they want us to see.

 

Is it possible the blue print images are not from the final build, and thus the City layout could be different as well?

One thing is for sure, the blueprint images aren't complete, the ones we get Sept. 17th will be different than what we see now.

Of course it isn't complete. Anyone that was under the impression of otherwise is an idiot...

[Dale Nixon]

I don't think it's finished either

Thanks smart-ass... Anyways my point being, the city layout itself could be different as well. I haven't seen anyone discuss this subject yet, and it seems worthy to have a tread on.

I think it will be mostly the same, but the missing markings leaves the layout up for change as well.Thanks for your input on the matter.

[OGpurp]

No sh*t, Sherlock.

[Chillzz01]

Don't hate on the OP. The map is pretty sick so far, just wonder what it would look like when completed!!

See above post, and thanks for your input as well. I'm trying to get feed back on the possibility the city layout could be different on release

Uh i hope so because to me it seems little but i do think that is how it is going to look like.

No duh. You think Rockstar would release screenshots purposely with markings and stuff so everyone can see instantly? They only did this to secretly give us the map. They didn't want to have anything in the way of that.

[Choco Taco]

That's probably the finished map of Los Santos.

[UberVIIX]

That's probably the finished map of Los Santos.

I think so as well, but with the other markings not being complete, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the city lay out could differ as well..

[Boss7dm]

cryptic markings indicate locations for fast cash and other points of interest for the up-and-coming entrepreneur."

what this mean?

[dewan2000]

Could that explain the random "whitish" squiggle areas? They seem out of place and have no idea what they could mean exactly. Unfinished areas..

Hidden clues marked on the map to show you things

R* have said in many interviews they do the map and city layout first. It is 4 months out from releaase. The map is done. To think they are still working on the layout of Los santos is not only wishfull thinking but pretty naive.

[Revolution-XW]

This.

 

It's hillarious seeing some who think that's the entire map.

Like I said, I believe it will be as pictured, but it is possible it could be different. Not because I don't think they are done, but because they may have shown us an earlier build to keep the actual layout under wraps. To think it's not possible at all, seeing how you nor I have played the game, Is silly as well.

No one here has stated they thought that was the entire map...

[jsaba2018]

Do you guys think there's more to the city down south? Or no

[driftnslide]

I think there's more south. I don't know whether it's more of LS or another city altogether. Heck it might even be both.

 

Rockstar showing all of a city in their GTA games before release would be unprecedented...

 

I feel down South is at the least an extension of the docks and another smaller city like San Diego, maybe half of Alderney size or something like that.

[ZeeKid2k10]

 

Do you guys think there's more to the city down south? Or no

Yes. Blueprint probably 5-10% of the map

I think everyone just wants to know how big the map will be in sqaure miles. My guess, 98 square miles. Just factor in that RDR is 28 square miles. GTAV is 3.5x bigger, so it would be about 98 square miles. They said Los Santos was just as big as Liberty City? Liberty City is only like 6.8 square miles so compared to the rest of the map it would look tiny.

That size of RDR is way off, RDR is about 12 square miles, slightly smaller than SA which is 13.8 square miles.

LS looks finished oO

 

Add the part of the harbor on the bottom and a little on the top and its finished. All parts were it was cut fit with the others. So it is almost complete

Topographic map contour lines.

 

It shows mountain height, with each circle having a difference of 100 feet in height, with the inner circles being the tallest points. So it looks like the mountain heights shown are ranging from 500 to 700 feet high.

[LotusRIP]

Another reason those fake "full map" posts are obvious bullsh*t.

[.Emmi]

The portion of the map here is definitely finished - Rockstar can easily disable the special markings in photoshop for marketing purposes - once they send the final map into print, they'll open the PS data and enable the markings, there we go!

Where did you get that number, cause from previous articles I thought it was stated RDR was 2X that of San Andreas.

[ACUK82]

There is no way this late in development they will start changing the city around.

 

What you are looking at is the finished city, they removed the cryptic markings etc because they want to save that for release day, otherwise people would know the location of everything in the city before they even had the game and that would suck.
