Geez that impressive for a video game. Only 5 miles shorter than Manhattan. Manhattan surface area is 87.46km2= 54.34miles.

If they can do that with current gen, what are they going to give us next gen!!!!

TNTgamer4268d ago

Whole countries my friend... then... the world!

PoSTedUP4268d ago

operation flashpointDR's map was 107.2square miles, took 9 hours to run across. thi is incredible considering the level of detail, buildings, interaction, too much stuff to list. afterall it was all open terrain, nothing compared to gtaV

Pandamobile4268d ago

Minecraft's and Godus' worlds are the size of gas planets. Granted they're procedurally generated, but I'm just letting you know that we've already hit planet sized games =)

corbeaunoir4268d ago

They also look like utter ass because Notch is a con artist who convinced you to buy an ugly virtual lego set despite the fact that the exact same thing has been done by other people for free and with far better coding.

derek1st4268d ago

You say 54, the guy in the article says 23. Who's right?

TenBensons4268d ago

You might want to re-read the article. He says Manhattan island is 23sq miles. ;)

derek1st4268d ago

Yes but the guy i'm commenting on said 54.

lnvisibleMan4268d ago (Edited 4267d ago )

@ derek1st
First of all I wasn’t one of the people who disagreed with your comment, you are right to call me out man if my figure sounded a bit BS. Secondly the two figures that I and TNTgamer were based on desk research not physical field work so any mistakes made were MADE by others not us.

When I googled the area size of Manhattan the first result I got was 87.46 km². Get result in miles(y). 1km=0.6214, y=0.6214 x 87.46, y=54.347644. You can check conversion value km2 to miles here http://www.metric-conversio...

I assume TNTgamer got his figure from Wikipedia which states ‘a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.5 km2)’. But whoever submitted that conversion value on wiki was wrong. If you convert 22.96 miles to km http://www.metric-conversio... you get 36.951km2 not 59.5 km2. That not say that 22.96 sq miles is wrong but conversion value made on wiki definally is.

Not the most enlightening answer I agee but its the only answer I can give.

Jamesjdk4267d ago

@ lnvisibleman

The conversion factor between km2 and miles2 isn't the same as between km and miles. There are 2 dimensions so you need to square the conversion factor. 0.6214 x 0.6214 = 0.3861. 87.46km2 x 0.3861 = 33.7683 miles2

That's a nice size but many games are bigger like Arma 3 which is 168 Sq. Miles (270 kilometers) and that's not counting the seafloor area around Altis which is playable.

GTAV does have a lot of variable activities packed into it and I'm looking forward to it as GTA truly is one of the greatest series in gaming.

GarrusVakarian4268d ago

Yeah, there are many games with bigger worlds but many of those games also have very bland worlds or large areas with not much going on. GTA5 seems to have a massive world but with lots of detail (knowing R* the attention to detail will be amazing).

PiTCHBLaCK4268d ago

@ ATi

There are games bigger in size, but very few reach that size with so much detail.

GarrusVakarian4268d ago (Edited 4268d ago )

And im going to explore every inch.

That's what she said.

TrevorPhillips4268d ago

Dayumm that's huge! This week is going so slow and killing me! :(

derek1st4268d ago

Where are you getting this number from? Source please

inmusicutrust4268d ago

Ya I don't see how early players can accurately measure the map....especially with limited time to play and rockstar hovering over their shoulders

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese9h ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde4h ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast5h ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown7d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy857d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown7d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy857d ago (Edited 7d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole6d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name7d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast7d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj7d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos20d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto20d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba20d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz19d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u19d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
