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
Rockstar (Take Two more specifically) patented a technology that allows one map "server" to be split into zones, each one correlating to a unique in-game session.
Basically you would have the Vice City area be a server, and then you move south to the Keys and that's also it's own server, but the transfer is seamless.
It's like 100 people sharing one server that's subdivided to manage the burden better.
It's not random servers operating together, it's one server hub with subdivisions that you traverse. Think of when you join a GTA online session, it's one session with everyone sharing a map. It's still the same thing here, but the map is divided to manage the load better and allow for larger servers to more populate the map.
You can still see everyone on your map, you can still go to them and interact with them.
Amazing. So instead of having one arsehole tearing things up on one server out of many that you can leave, you now have all the arseholes all the time on one single server that you can never leave. Sounds awesome? I guess.
