Rockstar: "The map is bigger than GTA IV, SA & RDR combined."
Poster on message board: "Pfft, map isn't that big, this jpeg confirms it."
Exactly. Regardless of how it looks, it's absolutely massive. I can't believe how big it actually will be. I remember thinking San Andreas was huge!
Just seen this on Twitter regarding the map size...
"@theGTAbase: GTA map sizes GTA3: 3 sq miles GTAVC: 3.5 sq miles GTASA: 13.6 sq miles GTA IV: 6.8 sq miles #GTAV: 50 sq miles"
Yeah, safe to say it's pretty damn huge!
But there's nothing to do in it, at least not anything on the enjoyment of GTA(for me)
If you really think that then that's a shame, but I'll leave that for discussion in the ARMA 3 thread not here.
This one is better...

In that case it is quite large then, ARMA 3's Altis map is 104 sq miles and that is absolutely huge.
Tremendous!
I'm not sure why it's getting compared to ARMA, though (not you specifically). As a general rule the vast majority of the GTA landscape will have been carefully thought out, in my experience ARMA isn't really like this.
They're totally different sorts of games, too. GTA just has a massively different feel and vibe, if you know what I mean.
I wasn't comparing the games at all just simply saying GTA V map must be big as it's half the size of ARMA's map and that is ridiculously big.
