Map questions and discussions

Rockstar said Vice City is roughly twice Los Santos, and the full map is about three times RDR2's. People are treating those as the same claim and they are not....

Building this from the aerials and the transitions rather than from vibes. What the footage supports: the city sits on the coast with water on at least two side...

Asking once more in case anybody has been sitting on something. A bridge over open water. Any elevation above about fifty metres. Any agricultural machinery. An...

There is a stretch of road in the early section and I am fairly sure it comes back much later from the opposite direction, with different weather and a differen...

Rules I set for myself: it counts if a sign, a marker, or the narration names it. No guessing from architecture. 1. Vice City, and inside it Ocean Beach, Little...

Rockstar's own description calls it the cruise ship capital of the world, which is a lot of words to spend on scenery. Ports in these games have historically be...

The three times RDR2 and twice Los Santos numbers both come from the same interview with the same person. That is one source. It is a good source, it is Rocksta...

It is named in Lucia's official background as where she was held. Named locations in character bios have a decent track record of being real places you can go....

The region description mentions a local biker gang and that is all I have. Rockstar names gangs. Every previous game has had named factions with their own colou...

Every US state has one and they are all either aspirational nonsense or a Latin phrase nobody can translate. The plates presumably carry one. Given the satire a...

Not a collectible map. A survey. What I would like to exist by December: distances between named places, actual travel times by road and by water, the road netw...

V let you buy businesses and properties that generated income, and a handful of garages and clubs. Ultimate includes businesses, which implies property exists a...

Inland industrial and agricultural, a sugar refinery, a biker gang. That is the whole official description. What I cannot place is whether inland means between...

Every game since IV, the complete map has arrived either in the manual, in a physical insert, or on day one. Never in marketing. The reason is that the map is t...

In V a full day was forty eight minutes. RDR2 was longer. It matters more than it sounds because it determines whether you experience a location at multiple tim...

Three years, three pieces of marketing, not one frame of Ambrosia. I have written probably fifteen posts about a paragraph. So I am stopping until there is some...

Went back through the Trailer 2 material looking for anything agricultural. There is a shot with a fence line and a flat horizon that could be farmland and coul...

mount chiliad had a mural and a decade of people flying jets into it at 3am. red dead had its own set of things people are still arguing about. the point of the...

Two aerial passes in Trailer 2 and one in Trailer 1. Between them you can see a decent chunk of shoreline. What I cannot work out is whether the barrier island...

Everyone measures maps in driving time and it is the wrong unit for a city. Los Santos was large but it was designed around driving. The interesting question fo...
