MainEvent 52 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 I have something a little more cool to show. It's still crude, and i probably wont even need to finish it since GTA V is out in two weeks. But who knows, once the game is out, i could make some use of a finished version. It's a quick sketch up of our map terrain in 3D so you can move it around and stuff. *awesomeness* That looks fucking awesome! I'll definitely give it a better look when I get home from work!

king1787 7 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Just noticed this and not sure if it's old news or not but there are two different dams? You can see the one on the right in the screencap but it looks a lot different than the Land Act Dam we seen in the gameplay trailer and screenshot.. Nah man haha I also thought this. But no, those two are the same dams. Or at least thats what I heard! But I kinda hope now thats theres two.. the more structures the better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk how they could possibly be the same dam if the one has mountains on each side while the other does not.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Invisible Lines 50 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah, definitely not the same. One is obscured by mountains, the other is not. And they're structurally different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah, definitely not the same. One is obscured by mountains, the other is not. And they're structurally different. When were the two screens released? And how do we know that this isn't the same Dam taken at different times in the development of the game?

PimpLippy 35 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 seems to me that this map isn't really going to be that big. i would expect it to be RDR size over all, but thats going to seem much smaller now we have speed on our side (i.e. cars and jets as opposed to horses and trains) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 They are different dams. Look at the position of the downtown scrapers... They're clearly in different locations. It's hard to tell, due to the differences in perspectives. You could be right, but why would there be two Dams? It doesn't make sense, having two dams that close to each other ( unless of course they're both part of the same reservoir ) How many Dams does real life L.A. have? ( and what does the design look like? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Im 100% sure those are two different dams, the topography is completely different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean you're telling me Rockstar changed the complete layout of that dam that close to launch? No they didn't. There's definitely 2 dams. We don't know when the gameplay was taken in that Gameplay Trailer. It could of been taken from months before the trailer was even made, let alone released. ( The same goes for the other Trailers & Screens ) So just because the Gameplay Trailer came out recently, doesn't mean the footage shown in it is new. Or that the features of the map haven't been changed in the months since it was taken. I don't think we can definitely say that there are two Dams, so I think I'll reserve any final judgement until I actually see the game. *EDIT - I'm wrong. Both Dams look like 2 real-world counterparts within 5 miles of each other in L.A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Los Angeles County has at least 116 dams. So this tiny bit of land has enough rivers and water to justify the existence of 116 Dams... Los Angeles County ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OptimumPx 329 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 @BlackSox9 apparently so...I wouldn't have thought so myself but what do I know? @PimpLippy Two. One is like you said, the Mulholland Dam in Hollywood. The other is the Pacoima Dam which is located in the San Gabriel Mountains about 20 odd miles north-west of LA proper.

BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 The locations of Mulholland & Pacoima Dams ( Mulholland is labelled "A" & Pacoima "B" ) ~ Mulholland Dam ( & Hollywood Reservoir ) ~ Pacoima Dam ( & Pacoima Reservoir ) ( In GTA V it's called "Land Act Dam" as seen in the Screen below ) ~ So I guess I was wrong. It looks like there will be two Dams in GTA V. Added/updated some GTA 5 landmarks. I'm sure I'll find more tomorrow. One of the interesting ones was the dam: The influence on the right is the Pacoima Dam in the San Gabriel Mountains (north of LA city). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
