The only thing that is missing from the map is Las Venturas.

 

Otherwise, its near perfect map.

Yes. It's as big as I was expecting it to be and I like the layout in general.

pretty much what I thought it would be. I thought it would be really good, it is. Maybe a few more areas they could have added, but its really good.

Well at least it wasn't like SA where Los Santos was 90% ghetto.

No. It's not 3 times the size of RDR, nevermind 5 times like they said. Plus, without interiors there's not much to explore.

I remember R* saying the map was bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined, has anyone confirmed this? because it seems like utter bull*hit to me, and if it is not in fact bigger, then that is just an outright lie by R* since they could very quickly and easily determine the truth of the matter.

It certainly does not seem that big, even with the largely useless ocean areas. Anyone actually check this claim accurately?

It sure is their bigget map. Can't see how it could of been any bigger given the level of detail on the hardware it performs on. But, it feels hella small because of the fast cars and aircraft. I remember Red Deads feeling absolutely massive and vast, It felt way bigger than GTA V does, but that is because you couldn't really see above ground level an weren't riding anything faster than a horse. Liberty City felt quite big because you could only pilot heli's. It's all about context. San Andreas felt bigger than it actually is because of three varying cities and a clear thought out tier or missions and how you work your way up. GTA V is really linear, it didn't feel long because you already had the riches with Michael when you started, and you could effectively go to the other side of the map by switching characters. It was big, but it is underwhelming for me because of fast travel and a limited story structure.

 

And given all that, Vice City is still my favourite and that was probably the size of GTA V's airport haha. Again, because of the people, the mission arcs. The most diverse map yet, even if it is the second smallest. In my opinion.

The map is ok and it met my expectations.

What I don't get:

There are 4 (or more) big regions that have partially interior and are really cool, but we cannot enter them longer than 4 minutes without being shot:

- The prison

- The "agency" complex on the east side of the map

- Fort Zancudo

- The Airport

 

imho there should be possibilities (after ending the game) to enter all of these

a) without getting wanted (by wearing a uniform or

own a part of it like the hangar at the aiport

)

b) sneaking into it without getting spotted

 

These 4 regions are useless as f*ck, at least in singleplayer / offline mode…

Cruising around slowly I appreciate the map more and more but it only came near my expectations. I had expected 1-2 more towns and a huger denser forest. I still like the map though.

- The Airport

Are you stupid? You CAN buy a hangar at the airport and you CAN get on the airport then without problems.

yup it exceded my expections, I knew the map was gonna be big but it has so much variety and since I like to just cruise around in my car looking at night looking at the desert or mountains, it's a perfect map for me

I wanted a larger desert environment with a canyonesque environment as in San Andreas.

 

It's still a very good map though, especially the farmbelt/vineyard area.

I actually expected a much larger map. From previews to interviews with Dan Houser, it just seemed like the map would be something jaw dropping. I argue that RDR still has the largest game world of any Rockstar game but perhaps someone can prove me wrong on that.

Anywho, once it dawned on me that the map size was toned down to allow functionality in Online, I felt ok with it.

Then again, I'll need to define functionality. :rol:

I love the map but they outright lied about it being as big as 3.5 Red Dead Redemptions.

They did not lie. R* specifically stated the map, when you include interiors and underwater, is bigger than RDR, IV, and SA combined, and they are correct.

 

Magic_AI's scale still gives a good representation of this:
