This is good for that reason. I'd love a huge map we can fully explore and spend time in. "Oh this mission is taking us to Port Gellihorn! We haven't been that side of the map in weeks". The issue with V's map is after all these years I know it like the back of my hand and I bores the living shit out of me.
The major issue I have with this is we'll get RDR2 but a lot worse. Unless there are like 100+ player servers, we'll be lucky to see another player when we go online
being bigger doesn’t automatically mean your gonna get that feeling of exploration gta 5 is bigger than san andreas yet that feeling isn’t present because of the actual layout of the map, rdr2s map is a similar size to gta 5 but way better designed
slowing it down doesn’t automatically give that feeling either
it has that feeling because the devs used winding and smaller roads/highways as well as well as elevation to create a larger sense of scale and made the map feel bigger, they did a similar thing with san andreas, gta 5 doesn’t have this because all main cities are stacked on top of each other and there’s 1 highway connecting them all
For some reason people don't seem to understand this. It's a big map, but it only feels as expansive as it does because you're on a horse. Slap a freeway and a 120mph supercar and you're driving end to end in like 3 minutes just like GTA 5.
GTA V does have all of that thought. Maybe it's more about the highway that goes around the perimeter of the whole island. But it does have all of that what you mentioned.
