>>738520630This is powerful
>>738522037kek map is a cope and paste of the og vice city?
>>738522037I'm tired of island maps.
>>738522209I never understand this. That's how it works, that's the real world. You could do a densely packed huge world but that's called "a city" if you want a whole geographic area and also hugeness and also realism we really don't cover the entire planet like couruscant, there's going to be huge swathes of nothing but fields, wilderness and ur mums vagina caverns. I thought that was the whole point of abstracting and compressing game worlds so you don't have to drive for 30 minutes to find something interesting.Just make the map not-miami if you want that. Add in the traffic for realists to go "no not like that" I fucking give up.
>>738520630
>>738520971>>738521825How fucking retarded are you faggots?
>>738522572How else can they do it without the cliche of an invisible wall or random closed off bridges for no reason
>>738522593There ain't no way, RDR was surely much larger than that compared to GTAV
>>738522627on a scale from 1 to 10, i'd say i'm an 8
>>738522627Oh, make no mistake, I expected this to be fake. I just like probing trolls like that on occasion.
>>738522209>no reason to go out thereThen don't go out there, leave it for people who just wants some areas to cruise around in at high speeds.
>>738522639By having the military try to fucking kill you if you cross the line. Eventually there's an actual invisible wall but reaching it gives you an achievement and unlocks big head mode so it's cool.
>>738522572Keep in mind that the surrounding waters are also explorable.
>>738522639"I shouldn't leave the state, there is shit to be done" the same way they did with both KCDs. Or military nuking, plane taking a damage and crashing.
>>738522490vice city recreated the miami beach area, gta 6 is doing the same of course its similar
>>738522593Damn I never realized RDR1's map was that small
>>738522679nope and RDR 2 aint bigger than gta 5 either, horse speed vs car speed and elevation changes is what makes these maps feel bigger
>>738522679A horse is much slower than a car or airplane
>>738520630I know damn well these are the same boomers who complained about Oblivion's maps being smaller than Morrowind. In actuality it was false. it will be the same thing with GTA VI's map it will be fucking massive.
>>738523153Damn man, they really fucked up the car speeds
>>738522846Why would the military Quarantine the city? What's the story logic in that?
>>738523010>Open world game where you can do anything>Your own character refuses to do something you want to doterrible
ral and tru, just like the gay parades
>>738522593Why does SA still feel massive to this day? Is it just the car speed changes between the games?
>>738523301To be fair, "open world" in GTA terms means a big ass hub zone with nothing to do in it aside from go to the next story waypoint. They don't even let you play bootleg Crazy Taxi in it anymore.
>>738523269For the good of all americans
>>738522573>That's how it works, that's the real world.It really sucks that video games can't take creative liberties.The point I was making was about them seemingly repeating GTA V map with no innovations, which hopefully is wrong.One of the biggest titles and they are playing it safe? that leaked may just looks way too close to GTA V, maybe because the shape of Florida is what it is so they kind of fucked themselves over by making SA the way they did.The other point is that in GTA V map all the other towns are dead and borderline abandoned as some sort of funny social commentary.Real Life LA has a bunch of satellite towns, but SA feels dead outside of the actual city.Wilderness is fine and having remote wilderness is great, but the way GTAVs map was balanced was off.Including even minor city on the other side of the map so you don't have to go back VC all the time would help the wilderness, not hurt it.>>738523373Because the content is spread out well and the pacing of the story has you tackle the map in parts so you compartmentalize them as such.>Los Santos>The Sticks>San Fierro>The desert>Las Venturas
>>738522209Don't get why retards act like the wilderness is worthless. Do you never want flatland desert to experience the driving mechanics there? do you never want mountain roads to experience the driving there? It's an outright different game experience, just as it was in San Andreas, and leads to both gameplay AND tone variety.>bro but why is the wilderness 2x bigger than the cityBecause its emptiness is literally part of the fucking point. You can't have the experience of driving in flatlands or mountains, and how that impacts gameplay, without them being the size of the flatlands or mountains in question
>>738523373>Why does SA still feel massive to this daybecause rockstar practiced black magic and the consequence wwas getting sued by the us government and Hillary Clinton.That map size for a PS2 game is still ridiculous, its still bigger than GTA 4
>>738522593Fuck I hate the GTA V map so god damn much, it's about 80% wasted space where you never need to visit
>>738522209At least there will be proper varied wildlife in the wilderness on the levels of rdr2, gta 5 was fucking barren except for a random cheetah that insta killed you
>>738523373San Andreas content is all at the far corners from each other and there are effectively no direct routes from one city to other until you've nearly finished the game (at which point there is a fairly direct road from Los Santos to Las Venturas). Think about trying to get from Los Santos to San Fierro and how many twists and turns there are. You either drive through a snaking mountain road or take the long way around the bottom of the map. Travelling between San Fierro and Las Ventures is similar.It was a very intentional design to keep areas distinct and seperated by making the actual journeys from A to B as indirect as possible.V didn't need to be designed that way because it didn't have the limitations San Andreas had, which is why they did the opposite and literally made a super highway that circles the entire map so getting from A to B is always efficient
>>738523645what really kills gta 5 is that the map is stacked on top of each other so you can only really go up or down to visit other regions, 6 already looks better by having interesting places in all directions
>>738523645Absolutely genuinely hate people like you. Calling that waste space is possibly the stupidest shit I've ever seen. The entire section middle section is very specifically required to seperate the city from Sandy Shores, both geographically and for gameplay, and has a ton of interesting roads to drive on and cool unique architecture and world design like farm land, rivers, the Vinewood sign. The Chiliad Mountain State Wildneress is used for multiple missions. Why the fuck have you shown FORT ZANCUDO as being "wasted land"? Fuck, man, you didn't even like Mount Chilliad? But sure, we could have had like 5 more Los Santos streets instead of actual location variety if we got rid of the deserts and mountains, yeah
>>738523763True that, GTA V needed more big built up areas like Los Santos, if GTA IV looks remotely like what people will think then it'll be a huge improvement
>>738522412No one said this, literally no one.
>>738523875Didn't read lol
>open thread>"Source?">"Jason Schrier"I hate this board like you're actually all so dumb and so easily baited
>>738522593Man, taking the north road out of San Fierro and going through the northern part of the map to Las Venturas while listening to Young Hearts om K-DST was an amazing experience,I'd spend hours as a teen just driving around listening to the radio.
>>738523405>ywn do police missions with a Apache helicopter firing hellfires at criminals in the middle of the city filled with bystanders getting showered in shrapnel the entire dayI made my first million in GTAVC with one of those.
>>738523405Crazy that Saints Row was the better GTA than actual modern GTA. Shame they got AIDs and died
>>738523939Sad the panhandle is gone
>>738524749To this day I still think SR2 is the best GTA-style game, even better than the GTA games themselves and, yes, that's including SA.I'll forever be mad about the series just going downhill from SR2.
>>738522209It's going to be mainly vice city but Port Gellhorn will be a sizable city to the left of it. My main reasoning being that it will have its own dedicated police department as apart from GTAV which have county sheriffs for its smaller towns. That's how it more or less is in real life, the police serve cities
>>738522037something fucky is going on with the scale here. there are 2 airports and theyre sitting just 3 airport runway lengths apart from each other. that will look ridiculous
>>738527693If you're talking about the large stretch of road to the left of the map, that's not an airport that's a car race track. If you're talking about the one at the bottom on the islands, that's a military airbase
>>738523269Cracking down on drug trafficking. Now you have a tie-in story and worldbuildingwise.
>>738523645GTA VI needs to better then CP2077 in the outer lands for better radiant life and freedom.
>>738520630>GTA VI development started 2023>15 yearsbased retard
>>738522573>The Earth’s total land surface is approximately 149 million square kilometers. Multiple remote sensing and geospatial studies have estimated the total urban built-up area worldwide to range between 0.5% and 3% of the land surface.stop being a dumb autist
>>738520884Ridiculous. How can they charge $99.99 for this level of quality. Why, it should be worth $109.99! Gamers could hardly complain when this much game comes out at the low low price of $119.99! Think about how much value they're cramming in a game you only have to pay $129.99 for!
>>738520630The irony is, if the map were really that small, the game might (almost) have enough content to fill it out, such that it justifies its size. However, in reality, we all know it'll be an even bigger map than in absolute area than GTAV, and even more shallow than the previous sandless "sandboxes" R'tard Mumbai has barfed up.
>>738527907complex NPC simulation has never been R* thing. sure, there are some interesting interactions with the player, but if left to their own devices, they kind of just go about without any sense of purpose. I think the only exception I can think of is those railway workers in rdr2 but I'm not sure how deep that really was.
>>738520630Ohnononononononononono you waited 15 years for this?
>>738527945>>GTA VI development started 2023>based retardironic
>>738528023Lmao wtf $139.99 for a video game? But I mean its Rockstar and GTA so I wouldn't mind paying $149.99 for a quality product. Who is with me, my fellow antisemites?
>>738527454I hope they have cops drive a bunch of different cars instead of the bullshit they pulled with V where there technically were Buffalos and undercover Vics but they only exist under the most esoteric conditions.
>>738522037real life miami is so close to the bahamas and cuba, R* would have to be retarded to not add them as DLC
>>738522209The empty parts of the map exist to sell Shark Cards. You need to buy the faster vehicles to complete the GTA Online missions and outrun other players. If you don't buy, you die.
Everyone talks about the land map, but I feel they could have created some crazy underwater areas. Coral reefs, sharks, octopuses, old ships with gold chests at the bottom of the sea, cartels using mini submarines to smuggle drugs, etc. And possibly some mini islands here and there you can go to and also dive nearby to find different fish species.
>>738523373Because you were 8
>>738520630GTA 6 will flop and Rockstar will go bankrupt.Mark's my words.
>>738528415Why add new areas when you can just release new cars that cost a lot so people are more likely to buy shark cards
>>738528817well they did add that island in GTA Online
>>738522209The only map that's all city is Liberty City
>>738523373because all the areas are unique with sovl GTA5 doesn't have sovl so the different areas just don't feel that different its just a big pile of slop
Trailer is coming this Tuesday for sure
>>738523373it's just very clever map design, especially with those route layouts.
>>738522593>>738523373>this disingenuous pic is still posted over a decade laterV's LS is as big as SA's. Whoever made this shit deserves to eat shit. It's old enough to remember the PS3/X360 release of GTA V and it's still as misleading as ever.
>>738522037Looking at the number of the streets, the city is pathetically small. Would be a 3,000 max population. Pathetic.
>>738528808GTA6 will not flop, but if they fuck it up somehow it will spell disaster for their projects down the line>>738528904Look at the alleged leaked GTA VI map and compare it to the GTA V one.Then compare it to the LC, VC, and SA from 3D era.In 3D there is a different approach to each map, with VC arguably the weakest.In the HD era compare IV to V. It should have felt like IV + Wilderness, but did it?It didn't feel like V was building upon IV but rather taking a side-step.If that leaked map is true, and I hope not, then VI map design seems even more stagnant or best it is what they tried to achieve with V, 13 years late.
>>738523269To keep people from getting big heads, duh.
>>738528274first trailer is when a game starts being developedfor GTA VI, it's December 2023
>>738529281It's not a leaked map it's a mapping project that some autist put together based on the trailers.
>>738522639Lucia has an ankle bracelet on after jail so she's not going anywhere except community service early in the game.
>>738523373I think the windy roads help. Try to go from point A to point B, and you'll go through twists and turns, and it's the map is broken up forcing you to go around.GTAV however is a big oval with highway encircling that it you can easily get to.
>>738529624This is pretty smart desu
>>738522037>Even more pointless empty spaceYeah I shan't be buying it
>>738528808>Rockstar will go bankruptthey're still making millions per month from Shark Cards from Playstation alone
>>738522037>almost all boring fucking wastelandWhy do this? No one plays GTA to drive around swamps
>>738523153Most of 5's map is intraversable mountains.
>>738523373>all those repliesIs this based on memory or recent replays?
>>738534730finished the game for the first time a year ago (was too dumb to pass the plane missions as a kid). the map still feels big because of how its layout is designed. routes are intricate and there is enough terrain blocking for your brain to assume there is much more around you. helps that there is a lot of variety so there is more information for you little dome to process.
>>738520630Kek
>>738522770>im only pretending to be retardedyea right
>>738535164I played SA on release, faggot. I wasn't looking to discount your opinion, I genuinely wondered if the opinions presented were from recent experience or nostalgiaMeaning could I go back now and have fun with my favorite GTA
>>738535924sorry, g. wasn't meant to sound patronize.
>>738523373SA was the first Rockstar map with empty wilderness, it was just smaller
>>738522209Yeah we need GTA Tokyo that is just one fuck huge city full of nothing to do
>>738536489we already have Yakuza>b-but no driving normal people don't drive a car in Tokyo
>>738536059Accepted. Best of luck to ya
>>738522037>>738523939how big is that compared to genshin impact map?
>>738536489GTA IV is pure city there's not a shred of nature
>>738523875Nta but GTA5 do waste the space, while at the same time it needed more empty wilderness.I wouldn't say "you need a reason to visit every square meter!".But you've got essentially nowhere to go that isn't in sight of something you've already visited (unless you add fog to hide it)As another anon said, you basically only move up or down.You don't travel to another city because there's only one.The wilderness is essentially not used unless you chose to roam there yourself.Many places are only used in online missions.Airplane gameplay is just a bonus but you have little reason to take one for travel because it's faster to drive or take a chopper.
I genuinely could not care less about this game or GTA as a franchise in general. Boring games. Insanely boring repetitive gameplay. Zero depth, just slop for normie consoomers. I hope it fails but it won't because normies love buying lootboxes and cosmetics for the shitty online mode
>>738523645driving on the highways listening to music was some of the best parts of GTA V
>>738536690That's why the MC is a nigger who drives around Tokyo
>>738536690yakuza has never had full tokyo, just a tiny district of it
>>738528415>Moron, CubaHey look, I found OP's hometown!
>>738522593Los Santos was great in 5 but everywhere else was shit.
>>738520884Don't forget about the dlcs for the roads and missions
>>738537890>everywhere else was shitWdym everywhere else? It was only in SA besides 5. And well SA los santos is a mix bag there are some good parts of it and some boring parts of it (mostly at the beginning it's boring). 5 had shit parts too like around Franklin starting hood and the docks were garbage
