calimann83 125 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 No I don't think it does because if you watch IGN's Game Scoop they said just the map's geographical scale is bigger the all three, not including the ocean floor or the endless hiking. Agreed, and if they did include the sea floor then that means they would have to be including SA, RDR and GTA4s sea floor and that would just be insane. My prediction is that no matter how good these analysis are all of our guess will be wrong. the map will look nothing like we think it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 You couldn't dive under the water in RDR and IV. You couldn't even swim in RDR. Then how do we know R* didn't spend months mapping a photorealistic seafloor in those games huh, how do we know? That's why GTA V has been delayed, R* are mapping the moon's surface; they just won't give use any means of transport to get there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana Pudding 95 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Why? San Andreas - around 14 square miles IV - around 6 and a half square miles RDR reachable area - about 6 square miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ku Zi Mu 1194 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 RDR is the same size as GTA IV? That doesn't sound right. *googles it* . . . Niggah please. That's probably not %100 accurate but I think it's obvious RDR's map is not the same size as GTAIV's LC, and it's definitly not smaller. EDIT: After more research it seems like no one has a clue on how big RDR's map is. I've seen alot of numbers, some stupid, others reasonable, but there is no one answer apparently. Has R* released any statements on RDR's map size in the past? *cough*$3.50*cough* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 No. Which is why there are so many estimates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana Pudding 95 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 That comparison map above isn't accurate. Red Dead Redemption has been measured with CAD software: The reachable area is under 6 square miles. That method was also used on San Andreas and IV and the results are accurate compared to the in-game stats. http://i.imgur.com/2RW4N.png http://i.imgur.com/gco2q.png Those numbers work well with the quotes below: bigger than GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA San Andreas combined San Andreas (14 sq mi) + IV (6.5 sq mi) + RDR (6 sq mi) = 26.5 square miles bigger than Red Dead Redemption -- 5 times bigger if you include topography 6 sq mi X 5 = 30 square miles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunSmith 2452 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 I remember I once used the Flying Car cheat on SA and flew from LS's docks to the town at the other end of the Gant Bridge and it gave me ~24,900 feet. That's a diagonal, so... Did I helped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 Rdr feels a lot bigger than 6 square miles... Lot of elevation change there, so with that there is a lot more land. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Embermane 4 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 I honestly hope that this delay is caused by us...in which I mean R* gonna make updates on what dissapointed us the most about the info they gave.

calimann83 125 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 I thought RDR would of been alot bigger :/? I understand that. it shows that it is as much about how the map is set up as it is about the actual size. Not having a car makes everything feel further away of course, but they also use natural barriers like mountains and rivers to make things look bigger then they really are. but if you think about it, in RDR you could travel between the two furthest points on the map, by horse, between sunrise and sunset. meanwhile in SA it takes almost 5 minutes in real time just to get from the LS to the big Mountain while using a car.

Googlefluff 34 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 I calculated that it takes about 2 3/4 minutes to go straight across San Andreas (3.6ish miles) at 130km/h. If the GTA V map is 30m^2, it would take about 4 1/4 minutes. Not bad, but I thought it would be a bit more. But that was flying a plane. I think driving would be more relevant to most people so I'll do that and get back to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
