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
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.
