[Martin Madrazo]

Lets make this topic again on sept.17.

[17th]

It's too small. It's not IV + SA + RDR. It's not 3,5 x RDR. Map should be at least 2x bigger

[DeafMetal]

 

Seriously. "map is big and everyone who says it's not are fa**ots"

This guy gets it!

[humidex]

Not about the size, folks. I'm much more interested about the density of the map...

I was one of the biggest skeptics after seeing the blueprint map.

 

 

As it turns out, there are a ton of little "streets inside of streets" on the Los Santos map, and as such, the game definitely looks big enough to me.

 

 

I'm happy.

[zalanith]

use the scale given.

[Cilogy]

 

There is literally no pleasing you people, regardless of how big the map is.

 

What the f*ck is with this generation and it's "quantity over quality" bullsh*t?

[DryBomber5]

Lol, what kind of question is this? I think the real question is whether or not Los Santos is "big enough" but I'm not complaining at all. The map is plenty big and those of you who don't think it's big enough must be really blind or just dumb.

[TomH999]

I honestly can't believe people are complaining about the size of this map.

[Eutyphro]

Looks like the City is too small, but oh well. I will have fun

 

It's 20 percent bigger than Liberty City..

 

 

look at that beauty San Andreas is clearly bigger.

 

It's TWO TIMES BIGGER than San Andreas.

"What is this, a map for ants?!"

 

Your comment reminded of me of Zoolander.

I'm fine with the map size, assuming it's full of life -unlike San Andreas, no animals to be seen anywhere- and that it's not that hard to find a vehicle in the middle of nowhere in case yours gets blown up.

People you don't know the scale any map might look big or small if.your not giving a reference of how big a certain section is

[Eutyphro]

People should all go check out Magic_Al's size comparison's to help them realize how massive this sh*t really is.

 

Edit: Found it:

I dunno it just seems dissapointing compared to San Andreas map

 

But this isn't San Andreas.

 

If people want a map size from a game from 2005 then they need to accept that the game they want will also have 2005 graphics.

 

1. *2004

2. Actually, it looks even bigger than San Andreas.

 

You all gone stupid r* said it's 4 TIMES BIGGER than SA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I blame GTA San Andreas.

 

It spawned a generation of greedy and ungrateful GTA bastard gamers.

[sats]

I am with you bro,The map is definitely small.only two towns and a city and a large empty desert empty mountains and useless lake in middle of map.san andreas had 12 towns and 3 cities and lot of diverse areas.Rockstar have fooled us.only thing that interests me is the animals in the forest although the forest area is small.

[cuoreviola89]

Consider that GtaIV was almost flat, while this one has plenty of hills, mountains and underwater explorable ground.. you should "stretch" the map and make it flat to compare it to gtaIV... if a giant stomps on a mountain, it's flat surface will be way bigger than the 2D vision from the sky. Don't know if you got me...

[Mr. Rocko]

You are a complete idiot if you think San Andreas's map was bigger.

[topdownshooter]

All this poll proves is that one in every three human beings is f*cking retarded.

[ColdHearted]

It's really a lack of the small towns that R* kept going on about that makes the map look small especially when you compare it to San Andreas which had 3 Cities and a few small towns, apart from Grapeseed, Paleto Bay and Chumarsh there's nothing really going on and on top of that the actual City Of Los Santos looks kinda pathetic TBH, no East La, no Long Beach, No Mid City, Inglewood, Baldwin Hills etc.. there's just the nice parts then the hood, no in between.

[XXVIII]

From my standpoint, there is not one iota of dissatisfaction, pertaining to this beautiful Grand Theft Auto: V schematic, nor was there when Rockstar unveiled the blueprint. The full extent of this map is poised to be unprecedented, and free-roaming will pay high testament to this.

[TheTechPoTaToCHIP]

Keep complaining all you want, but this map is STILL the largest map Rockstar has made. Even if its not the fabled "GTA IV+RDR+SA" size it is still bigger than any one of them alone.

 

Considering Rockstar's attention to detail, a map this large is colossal. And people are always ignoring the underwater area. Even if you think "It's only underwater it doesn't count" Keep in mind that Rockstar also meticulously mapped this area out, They modeled and textured each part of this area. Its not some generic underwater location. I mean if you lifted Los Santos above sea level, you will definitely see how large it is.

 

Plus for the ones saying "The city is too small!" WTF DID YOU EXPECT? Red Dead Redemption barely had any cities but the deserts still felt alive. GTA IV was all city and it eventually got boring and dull (BTW. Los Santos alone is about the size of Liberty City which is the largest CITY Rockstar has made)

[DCxMoneyxMurdaz]

The map might be fake but all the people complaining about the size of the city saying it is small do you remember Vice City's small ass map which was big in game, Gta v's city is bigger then this and also I highly doubt R* would add a empty countryside all you people stop bitching.

[TEoS]

While I definitely think R* fibbed a bit about the size, I'm not too bothered. It looks bigger than GTA4, and I never really learned my way around Liberty City proper, so as long as it's not a downgrade, and the map actually has interesting things going on in it, I'll be satisfied.

haahahah small? by TypicalGamer

could be better tbh, alot of big ass mountains but its acceptable

[BettyBlueGT]

When are people going to accept that the whole "Bigger than X and Y combined" was also referring to underwater and interior environments?

Who the hell accepts interiors of buildings?!!!!
