Look at all the comments, how can people really be this upset about it being only Los Santos?  They've already said they're completely redesigning it and it's supposed to be their biggest map ever, meaning bigger than Liberty City in GTA IV, and this is on a map where the space probably isn't going to have a shitload of its area wasted by river water like Liberty City did.  AND planes are back, so the map has to be big anyway for them to feel like they're worth something.  AND it's Grand Theft fucking Auto 5

People are so stupid

Making Los Santos its own entity also means the other two cities may become they're own entities in the future, which means more city options instead of having to alternate between just Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City.  Although personally I never want to see Vice City again, I didn't like it that much for some reason.

I only remember them in VC. You'd be driving across the bridge (or flying, whichever) and a loading screen would appear for a good 8-10 seconds. Of course, the bridge was only unlocked after a certain point because of the "hurricane", but it definitely occurred.

Yeah exactly and nobody gave a fuck, I'd much rather have 10 seconds every 20 minutes than shit graphics all the time.

Most of us would prefer them not to come back.

And fortunately GTA V doesn't have shitty graphics or load screens as far as we know

Yeah nobody gave a fuck because that was the norm 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure popular opinion is loading screens are something of the past, and they should stay there.

You're making gta4 graphics out to be terrible, they weren't.

Stop it finray, revise your posting style please.

I've heard May 24th, but thats just because 2405 pops up in the trailer once or twice so I'm skeptical.

Did you really just compare a game from 2004 to one from 2008? lol

I disagree, San Andreas had pretty good graphics for 2004, especially on PC.

Finray is a retard. SA had poorish graphics, yet it was easily one of the best games I've ever played. Graphics mean little when it comes to GTA

Oh, I agree, graphics mean very little to a game like that. It's just one of my pet peeves, everyone hailed GTA:IV for being extensively photo-realistic, I just couldn't see it. Low quality textures, complete lack of anti-aliasing, people and cars felt like completely separate entities from the landscape, not to mention clothes on people looked absolutely woeful when viewed from under 10 feet. I do agree GTA:IV had a massive city and was pretty good in that sense, but for graphical prowess? No. Crysis came out a year earlier, and looked so much better, whilst requiring MUCH less in the way of hardware, and still having that massive landscape.

hey rick stop being a prick and actually comp up with some compelling arguments or evidence

I had a bit of a brain fart, I was thinking that was from IV.

E: Well it essentially is, same engine, and I can't see them doing a major graphical overhaul.

As long as the gameplay is in line with SA/Vice city I'll happily buy it
