GTAaLEX117 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 What the hell? How can you think that the northern part is accurate? No one outside R* has seen it. NO ONE. The press demo did not show it. Surprised by the comments like "I'm disappointed" etc. by certain members who have earlier shown at least some presence of intelligence. Two things: 1. Even if this was the actual size of the map, it would still be very big and enjoyable. 2. This is NOT the actual size of the map. You sound like you're in denial. I've read previews where they said they could see the entire map when Franklin was jumping out of the plane. I'm not going to dig through a dozen previews to find that, but I'm rather sure they've seen the entire map, from a mile high perspective of course. really because the previews i read said that the camera only panned 180-220 degrees and that they did not see the entire map. Indeed. So if they saw the city, they most likely didn't see the northern part of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNero Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I ask again: We know LS is one third of the map, which was already stated by CVG before. Now, we know the land mass is about 3.5 x of Red Dead. That would actually mean that LS is about as big as the whole map of RDR. Thats impossible when thinking about it. Next: They said its bigger than RDR, GTA4 and SA combined. Watching this scale ( by watching screens and stuff) it looks like the whole map is slightly bigger than SA. Probably someone can proof the R* figures by providing a comparison screen. Cause atm it is a let down. Not because its too small but because it looks way smaller than R* wanted usto believe it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobe Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 You're all f*cking retards. They say there's a ton of guesswork, what do you people expect? They don't have insider knowledge, they're fans like us trying their best with mapping. And yes they took a lot from our mapping project but they clearly give massive props for that and basically said that it was an amalgamation of what they had seen around the web. Bitches acting like they should know more than us, they don't, they're working with exactly what we are. Give them a break. To be fair they do have some insider knowledge in that they've seen the map, or at least part of it from the demo they saw. Also, Rockstar acknowledged to them that the GTA fan map from which the GTA 5'Oclock map is based was 'eerily close' to the actual map. Although the details in it are obviously off I'd say this map is probably fairly accurate in terms of general shape. We just don't have any sense of scale.

jogy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Maybe the size of the map is correct, but towns like Angle Pine were not visible on the map (however we saw a screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffpony Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The only statement anyone should hold as true is that the map is larger than IV SA and RDR combined INCLUDING OCEANFLOOR AND INTERIORS. Everything else was and has been estimated by the previewers. I would say its safe to expect a land mass of almost 3x LC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronimpact Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just put this in mapping but maybe it should be in here, I worked out the explorable water area (light blue) based in land = 3.5 rdr & explorable water being 1.5 rdr, it factors in the Alamo sea... I would be happy with that being the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't they have seen the map during the switch loading screen? That's if it pans out all the way (google earth view). The camera only pans out as far as necessary. So if two characters are a block away it doesn't pan out too far. Since the furthest distance between characters would be from the Alamo sea to LS I doubt they panned out far enough to show the northern region. However, I'm sure they have seen the map in the pause screen. But think of it this way. If they are so certain about the northern part of the map, why did they copy a member of the forum to map that region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF this map is accurate it wouldn't be the first time the fans were "dooped" into high expectations. At the end of the day folks, it boils down to one thing. Content.

That would make LS alone be bigger than the whole RDR map. An thats totally unrealistic. Thaty why there is something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIPΣR Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 If you look at the Just Cause 2 map it doesn't look that huge in my opinion, but ingame it's huge: I guess the same goes for GTA V. It's all about scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobe Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I still think the major easter egg in GTAV is that there is more than one island. With all those planes and boats there's got to be somewhere to actually go in them. It would just seem very conservative of Rockstar to only do one big blob of an island.

Actually, LS is definitely not a third of the map. Even from that map which was done by pure guesswork, LS is more than 4 times bigger. Didn't CVG say that they only had an 180 degree view of the map? It's definitely smaller than 1/3. Secondly, that fan made map looks as big as SA, IV and about half of RDR. You REALLY overestimated the size of SA. The countryside above the city alone is larger than the whole map of SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuSsIeThUnDeR36 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think they got the locations right but there is a lot more land mass to the north. The size they made the city was quite small too. The map size totally got botched! I think it's a lot larger than most people expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3r4z0r Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think that there there will be alot of interiors so thats why the map is so small (wax museum, malls, prison, military base, generator room of the dam, gyms, cinemas, theatres, stadium, bank, casino, light house, bars, clubs, hotels, houses, fast food restaurants,jewelrys, underwater, cave of bigfoot? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
