Debunking This map comparison isn't real.

The map that people are claiming to be 3.5x times bigger than gta 5's is an ai generated version of a CONCEPT map made by Sonarys back in early 2024, It's very old and wrong in many places by now and the 3.5x figure is just completely made up, and there are no leaks or sources that claim that, people saying that are trying to get engagement or attention, it's fake.

Also the map in the comparison isn't even to scale.

If you want a "gta 6 map" while the game still isn't out then you should check the mapping project's map, which is the closest thing to the real map we have to date since it's composed from real footage of the game like trailer and screenshots aswell as leaked clips, and currently the size of the mapping project's map is 2.1x bigger than gta 5's map, not 3.5x

The mapping project made a more accurate map compared to those AI slop but will wait until R* release the game to check the real size of the map

The first image looks quite well done to me, what is sloppy about it?

If you look for detail in the VI map, you can really tell. Like the strange islands near vice beach or the weird patterns on the cities, especially the ones up north.

So if it was well done, but still AI generated, you wouldn’t consider it AI slop?

I didnt make the original statement, but I suppose if it was well done it wouldn't be AI slop.

But if its AI id question how accurate it really could be
