SPOILER the (possibly) official map, taken from a magazine. 

 

 

 

And new pictures sent to fan sites.

 

Sheriff Car rear. Strange how the cop car has a pre-1986 California style license plate.

Great pics! Can't wait for release. And people take about live only being open 3 more years, I heard that were shutting down games for windows live, not xbox live.

Amazing screens! :D The game is looking just beatiful! 

Looking good. Only a week now.

Is it me or does Central Los Santos look rather small on that "leaked" map? Although I am impressed by the size of the countryside, I expected the city district to be much larger. I could be misinterpreting the scale though.

On the topic of PS3 vs Xbox 360 (even though it's completely off topic), I think the biggest thing is the controller. Personally, I think the PS controller has a shitty design. It isn't comfortable to hold, the analog sticks are awkward...it just isn't really designed to fit in a hand as well as the Xbox controller. Also, I like Xbox Live better because it...well, I don't know really...it just seems like a better service (like having the party system where you could talk to your friends no matter what game you are playing (usually - some game modes in CoD are an example where you can't)), but then again PSN is free and is much better than Xbox Live Silver (the free version that you can't do shit on). Each system has it's pros and cons.

 

On topic, in that picture with the red plane a few posts back, is there a police car on the ground that is completely black but has a lightbar?

 

Also, as I said in the topic about the map, the city seems small because the map doesn't show a lot of detail since it's zoomed all the way out. The whole map is about 50 square miles and it looks like the city takes up about a third of it, meaning the city is about 17 square miles (this estimation could be way off). GTA IV was only 6.8 square miles. LA Noire is only 8 square miles. Of course, the scaling of each map could be different. There's a picture comparing GTA IV to GTA V out there and it looks like Los Santos is about the same size as Liberty City (hence why my estimation is probably way off or GTA IV is actually bigger - too late to research any more of this).
