The Multiple TOWNS Argument

[gwaha]

 

What are the chances of having a suburbian community to the north.

I know you have seen the fanmade map from Fido but it seems you aren't really looking at it or you wouldn't be asking this.

 

DELETED

 

I removed the rest of my post because I believe the altered map I showed made by another poster is simply wrong. The mountains are tagged wrong in some screenshots and in others he just added a mountain I don't even believe is there. The lighthouse is just too far south based on some of the screenshots used.

Is that real? 

 

No, the map is no that much more than it seems. The cities of Analheim and San Delgado, which are parodies of Anaheim and San Diego, respectively,

will NOT be featured in GTA V. We are NOT making any official announcement of the cities along or GTA Online gameplay next Tuesday, August 13. Don't bother

staying tuned for more! zucksaho & kinterd you may rest now.

If you were trying to make a foolish attempt to spell my name "Kinturd", I hope you'll realized you've spelled "turd" wrong.

what...I spelled your name wrong, wait I mean that was from R*, my bad kinkin

 

anyhow, Carlsbad sort of area makes most sense to me at this point. on the west side,

north of LS & south of Paleto maybe

[gwaha]

Yea, a Carlsbad area makes sense. It could be around the same size as Paleto with the north west of Mt Zancudo being wilderness.

 

So far it seems that the middle of the map still has a considerable amount of buildings, around the Alamo Sea but also on Route 68.

I have noticed that the desert isn't very large. it feels as though it should larger & maybe stretch more eastward.

We pretty much know all the towns in that area (around Alamo Sea).

I feel like the big missing link, so to speak, is the whole east side of the map.

I've been looking for this fan made map.

mostly because I agree with the town on the west coast, & also th e NE & E.

not that I agree the whole map is more accurate, but rather it's the best way to point out where I think the other towns could be.

[Grandtheftauto6969]

THERE HAS to be another city somewhere, like on the east coast, otherwise it defeats the purpose of being able to fly a huge plane, the sandy shores airstrip appears that it cant accomodate an andromada or the plausible "AT-800" in micheals trailer.

This game is not a flight sim.

[GrandMaster Smith]

One of the main reasons they said they're doing such a big map is so we could properly use jets and airplanes. In a sense it very much is a flight sim, alongside being a racing sim, tennis sim, golf sim..

I'm going to have to rework the west after seeing the Marines helicopter picture, but there's still room for a town there.

 

 

Big town in the east can be seen in a few pictures but it might be a bit further north than where I put it, the taller buildings can be seen in a few pictures, could be based on the city of Fresno but I don't have much to go on.

no

[GlitzyTomb]

No to big towns?

 

Or no to Fresno?

[PensFan]

there's gotta be something on that east coast. i dont know about fresno though

im not sure anything will be based off somewhere in particular, other than los santos ofcourse

Sandy shores combines parts of different Salton Sea towns into a single one, most buildings seems to have a reference even if they're from different place so that might be the same for the other towns. I can't really find another place that has tall-ish buildings outside of the L.A. metropolis other than Fresno, is there anywhere else? Not forgetting San Diego of course, they could have just borrowed some buildings from there.

you have no evidence of tallish buildings existing anywhere in gta v but los santos. trevor atv pic could be an industrial complex and the shape to the left of the interstate could be a sign, in game casino, who knows. definitely no cut and dry evidence of a skyline anyhwere but los santos though.

You don't think the interstate shape could be the same place? That's made of multiple overlapping rectangles which could be the same skyline side on. It could be something industrial but I don't know what that would be.

[gwaha]

I have to agree with zombie on this one. I also believe the interstate image is pointing to the same area as the ATV screenshot. There has got to be a town there as I don't really see the point in having an industrial complex in the "middle of nowhere". The other true industrial area (gameplay trailer, scene with Franklin) we have seen is still near Paleto Bay, a town.

sure there could be a town, but it wont be any kind of city with more than 2 or 3 story buildings. it definitely wont be anything that could be mistaken for a recognizable city. its just not in the cards. i have to agree with rockstar on this one.

I have to agree with everyone...sort of.

In the fact that we're not missing any cities, but any towns there are, or that we have yet to see, will most likely borrow little recognizable things from SoCal in general, no specific city or town. Or RT68 for example may parody a lot of RT66 but it obviously won't be the whole thing.

It'll make it seem more like we're getting all of So Cal w/o having to actually put in a full version of any area in particular.

 

So I agree there's another town, but also agree nothing huge with real large buildings (maybe building like an apartment highrise or something, but nothing like full on city)

[gwaha]

Okay, kjacked, I guess we agree then. I don't believe in other cities either. And a few low rises don't make a city. I live in a town and we have plenty of low rises.

 

Not sure if low rise is a correct term or not. I just mean buildings as high 20 floors or so.

i get what you mean. i live in a town of 6900 people and we have a few 2 or 3 story buildings and one 8 story building

 

[gwaha]

I live in a bigger town with a population of around 50,000. To me a city could have a small population too, say 100,000 as long as it has clear business center. Basically a place people commute to.

 

So with the unknown town I think has got to be in the desert area in the east I do expect some businesses but most of the inhabitants are likely to be commuters who work in Los Santos. The freeway, Interstate 5, has to be connected with some place to make sense for it being in the game in the first place. And when I think LA or SoCal I first think about commuters, rush hour and traffic jams.

[zuckmeslow]

I hope there are things to do in these towns

[SamHBS]

When I saw the shape of the map that was shown in the gameplay and a reply in the Mapping Los Santos topic, I thought in the San Diego's shape. LOOK at these images.

I knew san delgado was in the game. Try to find analheim.

 

 

AND BTW FOR ANYONE WHO DOESNT BELIEVE ME. YOU CAN BUY GLORY HOLE STOCKS AT THE BAWSAW WEBSITE. LOOK IT UP

[Swaggbro]

I always wonder how Rockstar is going to let those GTA fans that think LV and SF is in the game know that this is a different universe and why they couldn't put it in when they play the game. The fans that don't follow gaming news. I had to break it down to my cousin the other day that its just "Los Santos and the surrounding hills". He doesn't follow gaming news like that either. He was hoping to return to the full state of San Andreas. Too bad. That's why I hope these towns will have plenty of things to do in them.

[KINGDW510]

Anyone notice lamars magnetics tee? It looks like a parody of the Oakland athletics

No.

 

As has already been explained in the mapping thread the contours are exactly the same as in Fido's map. What you marked as San Diego is actually a mountain range east of Mount Alamo plus the bay where you can find the lighthouse. Fido's map isn't completely to scale but the contours are actually the same. And no, it doesn't mean the map is "bigger", it is just the scaling that isn't exact but it won't really change much, if anything at all.

 

@Zms

 

Stop trolling. There is nothing, absolutely nothing about glory hole on the BAWSAQ. What you can see of the stock exchange in the gameplay trailer is in alphabetical order and the last stock is CRE Crevis.

I highly doubt that any part of the map (it being an island) is in anyway geographically

correct as far as coast lines or shape in general compared to real life california goes
