    I don't think they'll change that one because they wouldn't be able to keep the same URL that a lot of people linked to and they'd lose all of the comments and view count as well.

    The detailed ocean floor might extend far in some areas and less in others. When you get past the detailed sea floor, it might just be a featureless sandy bottom. Reading that size quote, I'm not expecting the land area of GTA V to be any larger than 20 square miles (3.5 times RDR). I'd like it to be bigger, but I don't have any reason to believe that it is.

    Then explain this -

    If the map is an island again and they detail a strip of ocean floor around it, then the underwater area could be the size of RDR. Also, since they're including topography in their larger size comparison, you have to take into account the mountains. If there are more mountains in GTA V and they're higher than in SA and RDR, that would shrink the 2 dimensional map even more. Plus, there's this quote from Game Informer: They're probably including all of those elevation changes in their measurements. They're not just measuring flat space.

    I've been thinking about this quote: If you don't include the ocean floor, GTA V is 3.5 times RDR. The playable area of RDR is about 5.5 square miles, so the land area of GTA V would be less than 20 square miles. That would also mean that when they say it's bigger than SA, IV, and RDR combined, they're including the ocean floor off the coast. I'm not complaining since it's still a pretty big area, but it might not be as big as they're making it seem.

    They probably will... in about 4 months.
  8. Banana Pudding
    They should. It's an easy fix.

    On the GTA V website, they still have Spring 2013 at the end of the 2nd trailer.

    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: San Andreas (14 sq mi) + IV (6.5 sq mi) + RDR (6 sq mi) = 26.5 square miles 6 sq mi X 5 = 30 square miles
  11. Banana Pudding
    San Andreas - around 14 square miles IV - around 6 and a half square miles RDR reachable area - about 6 square miles
  12. Banana Pudding
    I think the entire map will be under 30 square miles.

    They were going to reveal the cover about 3 and a half months before the release of the game. They'll probably stick to that schedule. Expect it in June.

    I'm thinking the submarine will be controlled similarly to a helicopter.

    Mile length adjusted and San Andreas added. http://i.imgur.com/tDjappZ.jpg

    I think it's the other way. There would be a larger shift the farther away it is. I think.

    It might be east of the city. That just seems to be the only place it fits. It's possible that the water you see is just a different lake and not the Alamo Sea which could actually be in the east. It's hard to determine the orientation of the map since they seem to be placing the sun in places that make the screenshots look good rather than where it should be. I think that's because of the glare.
  18. Banana Pudding
    I'm not sure about the size and scale of the area north of the city, but I think the angles and locations of the entire map are correct.
  19. Banana Pudding
    Re-posting this here so you can see the distance I added to the estimates when I made my map. http://i.imgur.com/ZXGJJ.jpg

    It's needs a couple of small adjustments that I've already told him about. From the observatory, you have to be able to see the entire airport between the golf course and downtown buildings. Also, from the oil well, you have to see the lower part of the mountain to the left of the building.

    Reposting this here to get some opinions about the location of Grapeseed... I marked the relative distances between the peaks and valleys in the mountains from different views here - A and C are close matches which would suggest those pictures were taken across from one another which would put Grapeseed around the west side of the large mountain that's north of the city. It's not a prefect method so it could move a little to either side. For mapping purposes, it would be easier to put it to the east, but I think it would make sense to have Grapeseed a good distance west of the desert airstrip area considering it's a vineyard and there should be a transition between desert and fertile farmland. The mountains would be a good transition between the two areas. If it is to the west, do you think it's possible that this is the same mountain in all 3 pictures below?
  22. Banana Pudding
    I think it could be this -

    The row of similar structures in the top picture that aren't in the bottom picture.
  24. Banana Pudding
    What's the deal with this?
  25. Banana Pudding
    I think the east side of the city might be too large. On your map, where is the oil well from trailer 1 located?
