This should pretty much crush any further argument of whether Los Santos "captures" Los Angeles accurately or not.

Well, the people who say that have never really been to LA.

This is truly amazing. Someone needs to make a comparison with the game. Here are the Behind the Scenes btw.

Well I've been told that Google research gives you a better idea of what LA is like than actually being there, so...

 

lol I wish I were kidding.

man that was off the chain so real to life GTA V, superb video it's stunning to see how so many places in los santos are real life depictions of los angeles and that would be fun to do in real life y'all have fun in L.A and there really is a los santos gun shop lol.

That´s very impressive! I knew how beautiful the map is, but I didn´t know what a detail true replica of LA it is. Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

Was just about to say that the Behind the Scenes is worth seeing as well :)

 

Awesome video! (GTA VI will have better graphics than real life, mark my words)

Pretty cool, it reminded me of the "

". I found curious how viral this video has become on the Internet, even MTV posted it on their site. Edited by toxluv

The Shootout scene was the best part.

 

I know! The bit where he jump-dodges the bullets :D

Holy sh*t my father just showed me this video and I had to search here if its been shared. Has to be the best GTA in real life video I've seen.

That video is awesome. I'd love to see someone make a side by side comparison on that.

 

Any offers :colgate:

So you guys think Hollywood Blvd and Sunset boulevard are exact matches to the real world then?

Making the maps with the intent of having them be exact matches to the real thing isn't R*'s style, they like to have their own creative input on the cities they create, hence, "Los Santos", "Liberty City", "Las Venturas" etc. With that said, I'm from L.A, Hollywood to be exact, and no, Hollywood and Sunset Blvd in their entirety aren't exact matches but certain places here and there - bits and pieces certainly are, same goes for the rest of the map. It's been said before but SA is like a cliffsnotes to LA and parts of Socal, weird thing is, R* can get fixated on unremarkable yet very specific details and make damn near replicas of them in the game, this thread is filled with examples of that http://gtaforums.com/topic/491242-mapping-los-santos-buildinglandmark-analysis/page-1

 

TL;DR - Nope, but the game still "captures" L.A imo, and I live here. ;)

I think it was a poor representation of L.A. Hollywood is all wrong, not just "slightly off and stylized". And overall the city was far too small. Not to metnion the stupid placement of things like Sandy Shores in the north. Edited by Maibatsu545
