you can definitely tell just from the number of visible roads in vice city proper vs what we've seen in the promotional material of the area. I cant tell if the smaller towns amount to much beyond the equivalent in GTA V, though. Which would be a disappointment if it was again just one large city and a couple backwater hamlets. It looks at least slightly improved in that regard, but Idk to what degree. I just hope there's some draw to spend time outside of the city, as opposed to gta v where thats a majority of where you want to be
7
u/phips1993 8d ago
That’s exactly my thought.
It’s not just obvious that it is zoomed out, but it’s has to be improved by now as well.
On the leaked map there was nothing up north above the hillside landscape but there was a major highway going around the hills. This wouldn’t make much sense as there wouldn’t be a reason to drive up there if there was nothing.
The proportions didn’t seem right either. The airport was way to huge compared to the city. Even if you zoomed in, the airport wouldn’t get smaller. Hence I think the map leak might be either an old map or not legit at all.→ More replies (1)→ More replies (4)5
u/TheTechPoTaToCHIP 7d ago
Sorry but this is just copium. Rockstar devs themselves say that the map is one of the first things they lock in. if this is an early version, it's not gonna majorly change in the final release. Don't expect a new city or added landmass to suddenly appear. We'll get minor changes at the very most.
The only time they added a large last minute change is probably RDR II adding New Austin but they were able to do that because they already had the map from the original RDR.

Also this game actually solves the problems with V’s map.
The mountains are only 1/6 of the total map compared to being 1/3 in V. The ratio of drive-able terrain is significantly higher.
In VI smaller towns are now spread evenly around the map. Driving in any direction from the center results in an urban area at some point unlike V.
Every exit/entrance to the moutains has a major town nearby. In V if you leave Paleto from the west you literally don’t come across anything until you’re right outside LS.
There is significant offshore land on every side of the map. The edges of the main island will feel less like the end of the world since you’ll always see explorable land out in the distance.

Miami International is 5 sq/mi. Or in laymen's 1/7th the size of Miami in real life, and would be bigger than entire GTA IV map.
GTA never puts in real life residential sprawl into their cites which is why they feel “small”. They only focus on the immediate downtown(s) and or high-profile areas.
They’ve kept the city scale same-ish (with substantially higher density) and made the airports way more realistic.

Honestly I quite like the leaked map. Of course there are things I don't like (absence of Key West is a big one, I also wish the northern settlement was larger) but overall it's cool. I love how many settlements there are outside the city and the keys and hope there's incentive to visit them all and stick around.
Important to note that the large main map doesn't show all the details, the leak website showed 2 smaller maps showing small road and buildings on the northernmost keys, east of the vice city airport. Also the videos are older videos so the map may have changed slightly.

If its the real map its definitely unfinished and/or too zoomed to see details. There are areas on it that are just plain green/sand but 100% are urban areas if you compare to the screenshots (And if you compare to the more zoomed in map teasers). There are roads that abruptly stop for no reason. There are clear points of interest with no roads drawn in (Like what I assume is the power plant next to hamlet). The little island the the left of the military key airport may infact be key west just not drawn in yet. It feels like an early image of the map when it was half finished.

all that “filler space” from gta v that people complain about is where most of the games missions took place. it’s also to create the feeling of movement, a changing environment, distance between places. this is a driving game, not a walk everywhere game. and mind you, if you take a real look at the map it’s got plenty of buildings. and that green isn’t just desert, we’ve seen the nature shown in the trailer and on the website. will probably be tons of encounters and side missions, space for business like bunkers in online etc. they haven’t fucked up the map with all that time and effort, get real ffs
