Fan-created GTA V with the Correct Scale

The new inclusion of a scale in several popular GTA V maps really allows you to appreciate just how big and expansive the world of Los Santos is!

It still astounds me every time I play just how massive the map is!

Soulscare4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

-Edit- Disregard this, was mistaken.

I'm sorry? The map in GTAV isn't big at all, its actually tiny when compared to San Andreas... The impressive part is how well detailed it is with no loading screens, running on PS3 and 360.

S11m4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

GTA V map = put together a map of San Andreas + GTA IV and maybe more.
This is good comparison: http://www.rockstarnexus.co... even + RDR map (source: http://www.rockstarnexus.co... ).

GarrusVakarian4289d ago

You need to go back and play San Andreas. The map is nowhere near as big as you remember it being. GTAV is much larger.

Soulscare4289d ago

@S11m huh... Looks like you're actually right. Idk if I just remember San Andreas being bigger than it actually was, but I definitely read somewhere that SA was bigger. My bad!

XabiDaChosenOne4289d ago

@S11m You just made the other maps smaller :-/

S11m4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

@XabiDaChosenOne: Have you ever heard about map's scales? All the maps are not the same scale.

Btw, I found some GTA series maps dimensions:
GTA III = 3 sq. mi.
GTA: Vice City = 3.5 sq. mi.
GTA: San Andreas = 13.6 sq. mi.
GTA IV = 6.8 sq. mi.
Red Dead Redemption = 12 sq. mi.
GTA V = 49 sq. mi.

So, even when put together GTA3 + VC + San Andreas + IV + RDR, then there doesn't a total of GTA V map.
Sry, for the bad english

DoctorFry4289d ago

It's bigger than San Andreas. I have no idea what you're talking about. The only reason San Andreas appears bigger is because of the environmental diversity (3 different cultured cities and a rapidly inconsistent change in biome) and terrible draw distance.

Look at the image. That's SA with a draw distance 4x mod. Look how close Las Venturas is actually to Los Santos. Pathetic.

@MisterFeud Hence the big "-Edit- Disregard this, was mistaken."

Ever played Arma 3? No? Than you haven't seen a big map yet.

DoctorFry4289d ago (Edited 4288d ago )

Games like Arma may be huge, but they barely have an ounce of detail implemented.

The_Blue4289d ago (Edited 4289d ago )

C'mon, you guys have to admit for the aging console, that one console with the limit data space; Rockstar did a fantastic job at giving a very detail city. Just wait until the nextgen version comes, day 1 for me.

DoctorFry4289d ago

Rockstar and Naughty Dog are gonna do an amazing job utilizing the next (current) gen hardware. It's almost scary to see how amazing their future games will be like.

ill be playing this on PS4.

PlayStation is GTA and GTA is PlayStation, they're going to kill it when GTA 6 is finally released 😏.

Maybe that's because xbox and PC have much more variety in their online offerings.

ActualWhiteMan47d ago

And the players arent hood rats

S2Killinit47d ago

I know of people that own a PS4 exclusively to play gta5, and that’s all they play. I’m sure some of you here know of someone too. I’m surprised at how low the revenue for PC is.

CrimsonIdol47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I can't tell you what it's like on PS5 but it's absolutely horrific on PC. My experience is constant hackers and a game that feels like it hates you playing with your own friends too, always seems like a chore to manage to join some minigame together without somehow ending up in different server instances n shit. If I were going to bother with it I'd probably do it on console too.

My guess is also that there are modded versions of GTA online with massive communities on PC that are way better than the rockstar approved version and Rockstar isn't making money out of those.

S2Killinit47d ago

Those are the types of things people forget when they are talking about PC gaming.

ActualWhiteMan47d ago

That’s because most PlayStation fans are ghetto. Source…Every ghetto person I know, plays on PlayStation.

Outside_ofthe_Box47d ago

Rich folks like Epstein did play Xbox, so maybe you're right.

S2Killinit47d ago

Lol maybe you need a new perspective on life?

Aloymetal47d ago

Be glad the ''ghetto'' PS fans around the globe are spending money because they're practically single handedly keeping the gaming industry from crashing and burning. Can't say the same for MS and their miniscule green fanbase.

ChunkyMonk47d ago

Yet those "PS fans" didn't save Concord, Marathon, Highguard or Helldivers 2. Hell, Helldivers 2 and Marathon are only on life support cuz of PC. lol

blacktiger47d ago

ghetto or not, they are gamers right? Now what about Call of Duty same thing>?

Actually really surprised with the PC revenue which is an abysmal 3% overall vs Console (PS and Xbox combined) at a whopping 97%. It now makes sense why Take Two/Rockstar prioritizes Consoles. Heck, they could even delay the PC port release 2 to 3 years and it wouldn't make any impact at all.

ocelot0747d ago

I think its due to FIVEm. A lot of GTA PC players seem to just play that so don't need the shark cards or a way to even use them for fivem.

LostPotato47d ago

They already delay PC ports by a year or two already so nothing new.

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood138d ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher138d ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
