I don't know what you are trying to say, but those bridges don't look the same.

[TreeFitty 2631]

In the second pic, far left in the distance is the same bridge.

Reason I came in here, these are almost next to each other in Boyle Heights:

LA County Coroner, Boyle Heights

1141-1145 North Mission Road, Boyle Heights

I don't know what you are trying to say, but those bridges don't look the same.

The one between the plane and the train does look like the one on the upper screen tho.

Yes, I didn't see that one.

Reason I came in here, these are almost next to each other in Boyle Heights:

In the screen, the Coroner's office appears to be directly on the street, not off of N. Mission. Where did that L-shaped building go (and what is it)? Appears that they took some artistic liberties. Fitty, where did you get the screen of 1145 N. Mission?

EDIT: Unless it only appears to be on the street. Maybe the shot is laid out like this:

[TreeFitty 2631]

The Mission Road building is in the bottom corner of the sunset pic. Remember that they aren't creating a replica of LA so the coroner may be placed on the street in LS and the L building may not be there at all either.

[GunSmith 2452]

Ah. I wonder where the Coroner's office is in relation to that pic's perspective?

(Wrongly) I have it in my head, from all the real-life comparisons you and others have posted, that we'll be seeing much more of LA's real-life landmarks in V than of NY's in IV.

Any chance the North Mission Rd. building is the same Michaels' standing next to in the latest round of screens when he's leaning on the car hood? Don't know LA, so I don't know if it's by a bridge. I mean, I guess a red brick building is a red brick building, after all.

You can see the bridge from the top picture in the bottom one also.. far left and down right above the train. (may not be same bridge)

Nvm. it has already been said.

No, in the Maps screen of real-life LA I posted above, that building isn't near a bridge. But, like Fitty said, since LS isn't a replica of LA, the two buildings could very well be the same.

Nope those are two different buildings:

1141-1145 North Mission Road

635 Mateo Street

[GunSmith 2452]

Fitty, how is it that you can look at a building in a screenshot and pinpoint the real-life location?

[TreeFitty 2631]

I found the Mission Road one while looking at the Coroner's office so that was pretty easy. I had already stared at the screens for a bit prior to searching around Google Maps so when I saw it, it looked a little familiar and further investigation confirmed it. The Mateo Street one took a little longer to find since I had to search a lot of buildings around the ends of a few bridges near downtown. It's only a block away from the 6th Ave Bridge in real life.

[GunSmith 2452]

I'm referring to how you can identify the real-world counterparts to a building in a screenshot. How are you so knowledgeable about LA's geography? I imagine cruising up and down the streets of Google Street View in search of a building that resembles the one in the screen would be highly inefficient, no?

So what's your secret?

[TreeFitty 2631]

Google Maps -> Satellite view

I've been staring at LA and the LS map for over a year so I know where to start looking.

[GunSmith 2452]

Google Maps -> Satellite view

I'm clearly not properly communicating my question.

the chinese theatre on the first trailer screenshot was lxr's assumption (member of gtaforums.com) few month ago, the box art is just a confirmation

UserJbte at GTAForums made this 3D map with all the screenshots.

Scroll about halfway down.

Could be close to what the real map will look like. Looks good.
