GTA V Mapped!

[Rob 1390]

I seem to recall, They already tried bitching about the whaling in AC4 but no one took them seriously.

[Pothatuu 129]

So glad you guys missed the hint to discuss animals in the Animals topic.

Did anyone have any remote idea until this point that Malibu would appear in the game? How big do you think the town will be? I mean, the real Malibu ain't small, right?

[Otiz P Jivefunk 670]

yeah yer right^^

I'm excited for Malibu. i'm gonna go wild and assume i can get property there too.

[PimpLippy 35]

i look forward to reliving the vice city days of getting a car and driving up and down the beach running people over lol

The city is the size of Liberty City without the water.

[Moises19 14]

I think I'm comfortable with that.

That would be great, if it was true.

- Added a couple more assets, to help with scale judgement.

- Tweaked terrains slightly in areas that still felt needed work.

- Updated the grey version along side the colour one now, since i like the grey one for contrast.

The file is getting quite big now, so loading may take a bit longer than before.

All looks in order. Good work to you and to everybody else involved. The Misc paragraph points out a couple of landmarks which I can't find on your map though e.g. the Route 68 prison and the military base.

He's throwing in structures for the purpose of scale, not making the game world.

Dammit Dup! Clearly you should have made and released your own, superior, version of GTAV by now!

Malibu isn't that big really, comparatively. less then 13,000 people live there. and everyone knows the only part of Malibu that counts is the beach homes/villa's.

[ZeeKay4pm 15]

anyone else notice the hint in that article that a few landmarks are a bit off on the maps?

No.

[TreeFitty 2631]

You mean the part where they simply said they don't know exactly where some things are but know the approximate location?

True, but I thought we were trying to recreate the GTA V map based on images and videos Isn't that the purpose of this thread?

yes it is, making a map, not the whole world.

you seem to be forgetting that the 3d graphic didn't have to be made and being rather disrespectful to the work thats been put into it..

@ReclusiveHitman

I created the 3d map to get a sense of scale of the world, not to recreate the world. The landmarks are only for scale reference, as mentioned by others. The locations you mentioned we already know where they are on the map. For example; The prison is that big dark oval shape in the desert, and route 68 is that long road that goes past the prison all the way towards the Zancudo river.

[Terrence1725 1]

I think itll be bigger then we think i mean its 3.5 times bigger then 4 sa and rdr i the maps only look so big and in 4 they have all those bridges cut those out smash it together and LS will be bigger then all of 4 plus the country side bout time its back i hope theres snow and possibly hunting cabins we can buy

[PimpLippy 35]

i certainly hope i am proved wrong but i can't see it being that much bigger than gta iv so these 3.5 times bigger than what ever i just don't see it.

[Otiz P Jivefunk 670]

i think it was the art director from R* that stated he wanted V no smaller than IV, and he took the land mass, just the land mass, of IV and made that the size of just the city in V. Add up the other parts of the map and i can see how it's a lot bigger. I'm greedy for a big map too, but i think i'm gonna be more than happy with the size. Not sure where that link was, or who posted it, if someone could help out on that....

Ohhh, that's what that oval is. Thank you Dup. Also your 3D map does help set scale reference.

i read that also but given what they have to work with i have my skepticism about it.

i guess it the developers than make these bold claims that actualy never work out as being accrate, i remember one game stating its map would take and hour to get from one side to another and it was nothing like that.
