    We also wanted to encourage players to be strategic in their approach to combat spaces and not to rely on cover as simply a point to sit and regenerate health. Max Payne is about the beauty of the gunplay itself, in knowing when to launch yourself into an area, finding the right lines of attack, and perfecting bullet time kills. Regenerating health would have an impact on the game's natural rhythm.

    I agree with him. Yes, when you're new to a game you might get killed often but once you get the hang of things (and get good), games like IV weren't so bad. I think it adds a small challenge to conserve your health and not just run out into the middle of a room with enemies shooting you. It makes you think of a better way to get the job done.

    Examiner.com uses news submitted by users (in this case, a dipshit named Ben Miller). So any dipshit that signs up can write a news article about whatever stupid thing they find and post it as news.

    ^That's exactly why I used MGM HQ at first. The only reason I changed to The Century was because of the top-middle piece sticking out a little. I was thinking maybe the right side piece was another building or it was still under construction in GTA V.

    It is possible that Rockstar combined features since they have done so with others in the downtown area.

    edit: For anyone else that wants to give their input, here's a pic of The Century's top showing the flat short sides:

    Updated my Los Santos Map a little, using the discussed info. Also remade the Venice area more accurate and cleaned up the lines:

    I'm still not entirely convinced about The Century being in the pier shot. Something I noticed while updating the map was the orientation of The Century. The building in the pier shot is is turned 90 degrees compared to what I have for The Century. The Century was lined up using the golf course scene and might be a little off but not a quarter turn as far as I can see:

    In addition to that, there are 2 tall buildings near each other in that area as seen in the final shot of the trailer:

    I'm starting to think that the building in the pier shot may be Constellation Place (MGM HQ) which I had mistaken originally as The Century. Although questions still exist regarding position and height differences. Might work on this more tomorrow.

    The question he was answering was:

    Game Informer: You just released the GTA V trailer. Can you talk about that project in any respect? Obviously, it looks like it's going back to San Andreas.

    They wanted to know anything about the game but obviously Rockstar wants to keep majority of it secret for now. Houser wasn't talking about only the map, but the map being big is all they have said so far.

    Probably because Rockstar's only statements on the game say:

      Quote
    Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.

    A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

    And:

    Dan Houser: I've got to be real careful here, or they will drag me through the office and whip me with barbwire. I will stick to exactly what's in the press release. It's Los Santos and the surrounding countryside - and a very big map.

    The window for the other cities is small. San Francisco is Northern California, and Vegas isn't even California. Rockstar has said it's Los Santos and the countryside. Neither of those cities are near Los Angeles and aren't countryside.

    It's possible, but remember that this isn't an exact replica of Los Angeles. Not everything is where it should be. I'll look into this some more later. Keep throwing evidence my way if you got it. :thumbup:

    edit: If you are correct, then the following is likely true:

    This would probably make the pointy building left of 100 Wilshire to be a take on 225 Santa Monica Blvd:

    And if those are true, then there is more proof of the pier not being exactly where it is in real life when compared to the building locations.

    edit 2: I am starting to like your theory by the way. :) As for my map, that would bring the pier+area down a little more.

    I've looked at it, but not so sure they are the same. The one in the pier shot (1st pic) appears to have more flat angles where as the Century is rounded. Plus, you can see hills directly behind it and in the last shot (3rd) the hills are in front of it from the first pic's angle. I believe the first building is actually behind the hills on the right in the 3rd pic.
