Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 LOL^ that will forever be in my mind, even years down the line.Okay, so i found this version of the logo, it's a bit sharper. And I've drawn the outline from upscaling it. Here you have it, the first basic outline of the full map! Obviously it's missing a lot of fidelity. But we all know the shape of the map by now anyway. Lets sit back and wait for the HD retarded kid head now! Hmm. No northwest portion of the map. Shucks. Well, i guess there is still that western island. I bet its almost as big as blain county fully exploring it is one of the secret objectives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 1390 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Well, there is no northwest corner. Half a dozen of you can shut up now. Maybe I will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Obviously the icon is low res so there is some variation: (and I made up the lower edge and part of the lower-right area since the blueprints didn't show them) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ku Zi Mu 1194 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Doesn't seem as "huge" as they were claiming it to be... (It's still big though) Btw it looks like the profile of a retarded kid... Congrats, DuPz! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxDaltonxx28 76 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Well it basically shows that the city of Los Santos makes up less than a third of the map and that's not including all the interiors and underwater areas.. Im definitely not worried about the size of this map.. I'm fuckin pumped.. cant wait 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im definitely not worried about the size of this map..

BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 I wonder if there will be any Islands off the coast. Also, I could be wrong but I remember seeing an Oil Rig in the Ocean in one of the screenshots/ vids. But I can't find an image for it, does anyone remember hearing about it or seeing it?

DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Obviously the icon is low res so there is some variation: (and I made up the lower edge and part of the lower-right area since the blueprints didn't show them) That's a good visualisation of the scale if you ask me. LS takes up less than 1/5 of the map. Plenty of terrain to explore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Did you stich those two images together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 1390 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Is that LS overlaid 4 times? I'm confused. I am also quite drunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OptimumPx 329 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Is that LS overlaid 4 times? I'm confused. I am also quite drunk. Yes it is. He's basically showing that you can fit the entire city on the map 5 times. That's a lotta map! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Sorry, yeah it shows that LS it only approximately 1/5 of the map in the X & Y axis, that doesn't include the Z axis though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake6993 35 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 If this is the actual shape of the map, (I'm still a bit dubious) then there is going to be way to much countryside/desert. I just hope that all of it isn't going to be empty or recycled like San Andreas was, because that's just lazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 There will be more than empty space. They even said that e erh inch of the map was carefully structured by multiple artists to ensure nothing looks boing or empty. So expect a couple of small towns/villages. I'll update the map soon with new locations we found on the website. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

igta6 7 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 so... one of you map-savvy people should come up w/ an IV comparison to the V map. kinda like how dupzor posted V's CITY framework over the whole thing, i'm curious as to see how many complete IV maps you could fit onto the whole V one (roughly, i know it's still a non-precise rough outline of the map's framework).

volki 4 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Has anyone seen this? Do the dimensions look right? ~ So if GTA San Andreas is approximately 3x the size of Liberty City. And if the airports are the same size in this map. Then what does this say about the size of GTA V? Looks BIG right. ^ already been done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igta6 7 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 hmm, i just saw this (comparison done at 1:50ish) after my post and it shows 5 IV maps fitting in the V one. either way it's gonna be huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ConQueSteD 552 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 We're also completely forgetting the sea which is part of the map... If you included that in IV even though you couldn't do anything with it, IV had a pretty large map. I could go super far out and no longer see the map or lights.

rm80rams 62 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 I have a feeling that many people will be disappointed by the size of the map. Rockstar says that it will be the size of RDR, GTA IV, and San Andreas put together, but that includes the underwater, which I believe will take up a significant amount of the map size. To compare it to previous maps, I think the countryside will be the size of RDR, Los Santos the size of GTA IV, and underwater will take up the scale of San Andreas. So the map will still be huge, but not as big as some may think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
