Why GTA SA map feels small

[Sagnik gta lover]

What I think is that in gta v hd universe San Andreas was much more expanded than its original 1992 version of 3d universe , i m discussing all of them . First of all the roads were added , landmass improved and extended , even the Vinewood part ( the houses and hills ) was completely redesigned in gta san andreas so rockstar added it with the diamond casino , the mulholland extended a bit with all of the roads and houses and the small hills.The Rockford hills was extended which was in 3d universe contained only 4-5 shops and rest was rodeo . Also while playing 5 i noticed that big the tennis court in sa was replaced by a bigger golf course , the studio in front of the court was placed in the south western side of it if you notice carefully . There was the cemetery which was removed from there and added it in the side of the highway which connects Richman to Pacific bluffs freeway. And also some part of shady creeks and back o beyond was removed and replaced by the huge lake , beside it the fallen tree and the flint water was replaced by Sandy shores . Now about Fort Zancudo I think the south western part of back o beyond was cut and replaced by it, about mount joshia and gordo it was the full back o beyond and the bridge which would let to San Fierro . Now somethings which was changed , added or extended in Los Santos : the Los Santos International Airport was completely redesigned and the highways were added and the runway was much more larger and bigger . The Groove street was redesigned and a couple of streets were added. The pillbox hill was also extended. With new buildings and of course the beaches were made to look like their real life counter part . In East Los Santos some houses and the drainage river was extended . The mulholland parking lost was replaced by the drainage. The intersection was removed from the side of the maze bank and was placed at the section which devides south Los Santos to North Los Santos. The East Beach or Long Beach in real life was completely cut from the game and the docks all extended and added new one to make it look like it's real life one . The Verdant Bluffs was removed and the vespucci beach was extended and the canals were added . Finally some theaters were added . The Vinewood sign was placed in the north eastern part . The lakes(i forgot the name of the lake which was from your character's direction at the west) was added . Must say that there is no meaning of visiting los Santos without looking at the Vinewood sign in both 3d era and the hd era. Note that part where the drainage continuous below the intersection some random houses and shops are there also with the mirror  park ( Glen park 3d era).

 And that's all of what has changed in the map .  Together all these makes the map look way bigger that it's 3d era version . And what I noticed is that the countryside in gta sa could be 1/3 of the hd era as there are changes which I mentioned above . The canyons mountains were added but the thing which is most sad is that we can't explore the villages on the east of los Santos unlike the 3d era . But overall the map of San Andreas isn't that small if we relocate the San Fierro in the north as it is IRL then the las Venturas could have been extended . That would have made the map a lot bigger . Then it could even be as big as gta v San Andreas altogether , but as I have said that the countryside is still smaller than the one in gta v , it is likely that it will surpass the gta v one . And that's all about me pls tell what you think .
