Saints Row was really small and IMO its 100x better than any GTA game....
Size doesnt make a difference...youd rather a game like San Andreas where its huge with absolutely nothing to interact with? Or a smaller map where you can do something different with every building you see...
Even if it is small, if most buildings are actually used and there is a street people roster ... then that more than makes up for it. Most of previous GTA games were worthless strees or empty land terrain.
Then again its the Next Gen Trend to put less effort and more graphics into games, so maybe your right :P
There is no sense of scale of perspective. Reading things from the past it seems like Liberty City is going to be a living, breathing metropolis, unlike SA which was mostly barren and featureless.
It would be smaller anyway if it was based on New York just be more dense in temrs of content, the only wide open space in it should be whatever is included to represent Central Park. As long as theres no crappy badlands like in San Andreas i'll be happy
I actually liked the so called empty, barren wastelands in San Andreas, AKA the countryside. It was moody driving around on the curvy roads listening to country music and riding on motorbikes. But it's kind of selfevident that there will be none of that in a game taking place in New York. So I don't really care if it's small, it's a different kind of atmosphere they're going for, and as long as they succeed with it I'm sure I won't miss San Andreas.

Isn't it gonna be 3x the original liberty city? It looks that way judging from the Picture because there are four districts and 3 Islands that is alot bigger then GTAIII which only had Three Islands and three Areas (Which I like to call Districts even though it isn't technically a District)
That's 3 more islands then GTA III had, and each of the main islands is bigger than the main islands in GTA III. Throw in the verticality, and the extreme detail, and it's more than enough.
[QUOTE="WuTangG"]Its the same size of GTA SA, only the WHOLE thing is densely populated buildingsmynameisdigo
do you really think every building is going to bee.. a building? and not a colored box Some people already played it and said you could go in most buildings that they saw also just look at the videos and see for yourself.
GTA4 is so much more detailed, so you'd have to expect a smaller game world. It's probably the most graphically-detailed game ever (and no, that doesn't mean it has the best graphics, just the most detail). It's sort of like comparing Oblivion to Daggerfall in terms of scope and scale. Daggerfall had a far more enormous game world, but it was also an extremely repetitive one and greatly lacked in detail and variety compared to Oblivion.

Thank God, San Andreas was the most broken piece of s*** ever, because the world was just too damn big, it really killed the experience with long as hell driving sequences, and on top of that, the game was just garbage, gameplay and story sucked. I'm glad they're reevaluating this time and making it a detailedworld.
lol look at the jaggies in that screen lol cows/lems pwned hard!!
seriously though, how can you tell any kind of scale based on that? they have said it is going to be bigger than VC, and there is to be no "wasted space" and more meaningful interaction. sounds good to me. from what we have seen the story looks top notch compared to most games. dont blame me for being excited about this game, and still having more faith in rockstar than most other developers.
