If GTA Maps were 40mins long (next-gen only)

Just Cause 2 has an extremely large and apparently it would take an Hour to go from one side of the map to the other. It has deserts, snow capped mountains and tropical jungles with hot air balloons and floating strip clubs but otherwise an empty map covered in foliage for the most part.

 

Checkout the comparisons in size. Quality over Quantity

if the helicoters and jets flew at realistic speeds it wouldnt take so long.

The Crew is an entirely different game. They don't need to waste time/resources on all these other mechanics that GTA has. And overall, I highly doubt The Crew will be as detailed as GTA5 is anyways.

And it is an MMO. It HAS to be huge. GTA 5 is not.

the crew is out already. and its very detailed then gta. the crew is a next gen game

 

 

The Nissan 370 in this vid sounds like a kid doing engine noises while riding up and down the street on his bike.

 

true but still better then any gta car sounds

[PoeticWhisper]

I would love that. Cruising in that game just looks amazing.

I don't know why a lot of you are saying this isn't possible with todays tech. This IS possible, even more with next gen! a page or two ago, someone brough up how Minecraft can do this but only because of chunks that don't load unless you visit them. That's basically how GTAV/GTAO works! The game has "cell loading" which basically means that only the area you're in is fully loaded. The areas further away are there, but do not take up as much polys (meaning they're there, you can see them, but not in as much detail). You can notice this when you go up to Chiliad and look at the city. You can see the whole city, but not in detail because it's not using as many polys.

 

Don't tell the others this is not possible. This is very possible and will surely come out one day!

 

TL;DR this is possible, cell loading, this will happen someday

 

Side note: There's a big ol thread of future map additions that is full of believers. I advise you read thru it if you're interested http://gtaforums.com/topic/713295-future-map-additions/

You still have to considor that minecraft has basic graphics along with a (calculated?) basic lighting system while GTA or any other AAA game for that matter have not only advanced models but also advanced image effects' shadows, and an lighting system that has to calc. and render craploads of pixel lights.

 

And as tech increasers, so does the demand for HQ graphics.

 

Just my 2 cents

Completely agree with what you said! However, the point I'm trying to get across is that the game uses cell loading. Meaning that while yes, GTA has more advanced shadows, graphics, etc, only one cell would completely experience that, and that's the cell you're in. Areas you aren't in would not be completely loaded in, so they wouldn't impact performance.

In THE CREW you can't access every area on the map (probably) just the roads and some dirt roads, that means that it doesn't need many details, because you're racing and passing by fast...

 

 

 

 

Incorrect (Mainly). You can access all places of the map, the only places you can't go is either the sea (for obvious reasons) or places your car won't go up or fit in.

 

I know this thanks to playing the beta myself. Here are some images of offroad (related) locations:

 

 

 

 

In the next beta (from august 25th) I will be doing a lot more offroad exploring. Most of the time i felt like I should stay on the road, but you really do have the freedom to go anywhere you want.

 

I love exploration, and any game that has a decent map I will spend a long time just going around the map and finding new places. RDR was one of the best for me

 

Crap, I need to get this game... It looks so

the issue here isn't the size of the map it's the lack of content, and R*'s incompetence continues to astound me, first let's get some legitimate gameplay developed for the map that we have, then we can even START to think about adding the other regions to the game.

 

I swear R*'s sheer lack of preparation and effort they have shown so far has really made me lose a lot of respect for them. I mean what did they THINK was going to happen, they just put out an online mode and NOT have to develop it, what are they thinking? We are about 2 months from coming up to the 1st year anniversary and the amount of development this game has received is less then that of the 90 day patch in most any other MMO.

 

Seriously, R* needs to get their thumbs out of their butts and heads out of the sand. And of course shame on them for pretty much abandoning the 360 crowd for what I'm sure has been shifted to the XB1 development.

it won't, they got sloppy not because of "hardware limitations" but because they got complacent, lazy and greedy.

 

I forsee the same problems spilling over to GTAO for XB1 because the complacency, sloppiness and greed will still be there.
