If you could add one area/neighborhood to the map, which would it be and why?

[CynicalMexican]

3D Universe Liberty City: I think I would've given an extra park to Portland, based on a Queens area.

 

3D Universe Vice City: Definitely a Mainland neighborhood as that part of the map feels incomplete. Probably a neighborhood based on Wynwood, Alpattah, or Liberty City.

 

3D San Andreas: I like the map as it is, though a town in Flint County based on Ventura or Santa Barbara would've been cool. Neighborhoods? I'd add Century City to Los Santos, and Hunters Point to San Fierro.

 

HD Liberty City: Probably another neighborhood in Bohan. Or maybe even a borough based on Staten Island; though it would be smaller than Bohan.

 

HD Los Santos/Blaine County: This map has so many problems but if I had to add one area, it would be Long Beach. It was in SA as East Beach, I'm kind of shocked that it was just excluded completely in V

[Guns a-Blazin]

Vice City - The map is relatively small so I would probably expand on areas like Downtown, Little Haiti and VicePort to even things out a little bit more. 

 

 

Los Santos (GTA V) - A lot of areas in GTA V are crying out for expansions but to narrow it down to one, I'd expand on the Ghetto area by adding another neighbourhood similar to Grove Street.

[Yannerrins]

3D era Liberty City: I'd probably add a a area based on Long Island. Probably with Carraways (Hamptons) as a little village in it. 

 

3D era Vice City: Beach was too big, compared to LC and SA ones. Probably add a another row of buildings line to make beach shorter.

 

HD era Liberty City: Probably expand a Bohan, add a Yankee Stadium parody + maybe some parks and housing projects.

 

HD era Los Santos: I'd add a Santa Catalina Island, with golf carts traffic and ferry coming out from LS port. 

[billiejoearmstrong8]

HD LC: The Carraways (based on The Hamptons and cut from the game early on) and maybe a small bit of countryside between the city and there. That or Staten Island.

 

HD LS: Expand the hood area and add more suburbs - the Wilshire/Westlake areas are absent (apart from Little Seoul), some of that along with MacArthur Park would balance the city better imo.

[elwero]

IV - Definetly expand Alderney. There's something comforting about having NJ in the game, yet it feels so small and effortless it's annoying, map limitaions perhaps

V - As much as like LS in HD era it feels way to small it gives me a minor headache for some reason lol , add more ghetto neighborhoods and Long Beach. 

 

At least there are map mods that give the game some sort of diversity

I think La Puerta is partly based on Long Beach (and San Pedro). But yeah it's like with Wilshire where only a small part is included (in that case Koreatown/Little Seoul). Seems like the only properly large areas are tourist areas/landmarks or industrial. Very lacking in residential neighbourhoods.

IV - Expand on Alderney. Nuff said.

[Big Fat Paulie]

For GTA IV, I'd add Staunton Island (Staten Island) plus The Carroways (Hamptons, Long Island) and Upstate Liberty (Upstate New York) and greatly expand Alderney.

I would attempt to split up Los Santos in the HD Universe a bit more from Blaine County. As it stands the map feels smaller than it is, so I’d cut off some of the freeways and add a huge forest section (a la the Panopticon region in San Andreas). Make it a bit more desolate and open in that regard without letting players cut corners and go from town to town so easily.

Judging from the first trailer, I think the environment was going to be much more forested and have more vegetation. 

 

Must have throttled the hell out of the hardware. RDR2 was much better in this regard so I'm optimistic for GTA 6.

Some sort of Pine Barrens area to Alderney

Hell yeah. Idk why but I love the rural Northeast. Would love a rural NJ/NY/New England area with colonial architecture

Would've been legendary if they had Bulgarin's death take place there (this guy voiced Bulgarin)

[Americana]

To be honest, when it comes to Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, I would add a lot more townhouses in Dukes.

 

Also, Liberty City lacks some real suburbs, and I think that Staten Island would be a good addition.

 

But when it comes to Grand Theft Auto V and Los Santos... man, I would add a lot of suburbs!

 

I can't care less about desert and mountains.

An expanded bohan in gta iv. Maybe an area based on the bronx zoo/botannical garden and maybe yonkers.

 

Long beach, huntington beach and westlake in v, along with an expanded ghetto and san pedro area

[Leather Rebel]

Definetly would expand mainland VC,thrice the size of Vice Beach would be ideal.

 

I would add Glory Hole Theme park to SA,it would feel complete as a state.

 

I would expand Bohan for IV,i don't get why it's always the smallest area in video-game NYC renditions.Add Countryside with cities of Buffalo,Albany,Rochester,Newark,Atlantic City etc...

 

I'd expand the Downtown and Ghetto in V,adding more suburbs,East Beach,Unity Station,making the L.S area thrice the size of original.Also'd add O.C,Riverside,San Bernandino,Expanding Chumash,adding Ventura,San Fernando,Glendale,Oxnard would be cool.I would make Bakersfield more urban,also much,much far away than Desert Shores.Morro Bay would have few changes too.

HD Los Santos:
Orange County and San Bernadino, definitely. It just feels so square right now, a few extra city blocks more down southeast and north east would have been absolutely amazing for this city.

And get rid of the f*cking area: Trevor's Airfield. It should just be desert, not a random huge af airfield...

I would also add much more trees to Paleto forest, to make it truly feel like a forest (such as in RDR2)

I feel like the only reason they added that airfield was for - a) to give airplanes/jets a reason to be in the game and b) GTA SA nostalgia.

yeah, but then they should have simply given Paleto Bay an airport (and harbor by the f*cking way), and it would have made much more sense. 

Sandy shores could easily have an airfield, but it should have been the size of the one in Grapeseed...

[String]

San Andreas- a version of Alcatraz island

 

V- A version of Union Station aka San Andreas' Unity station 

 

IV- don't know about neighborhood but I would like to have seen a version of the iconic Madison Square Garden added.

I always hated how the "desert" felt so cramped.
