:I was actually having a conversation about this last night. Firstly, The official announcement clearly stated that the game is set in Los Santos and surrounding areas - No, that doesn't necessarily deny the existence of other cities, but it is a good indication. The trailer clearly shows bridges, so we can almost ''confirm'' that they will be closed at the beginning of the game, that's a way to FORCE us to play the missions. Yes, the whole closed bridges concept is getting tired and predicable, but it's the easiest solution to keeping areas locked. | |||
:Los Santos doesn't necessarily need to be as closely modelled after Los Angeles as Liberty City was after New York City in GTA IV, and so separate islands can easily be created in one form or another. Liberty City gained a lot of interest because although being slightly smaller than San Andreas, and being only a single city, it was much more detailed, with little wasted open space. San Andreas was a step forward in the series by offering multiple cities (which came with a larger map size, and more variety in locations), but more modern technology has allowed for a single city to be ''more'' detailed than that entire state. If Los Santos is the only city in GTA V, that doesn't mean that it will only be as big as Los Santos in GTA San Andreas, it will be as big (or bigger!) than the entire San Andreas from that game, and much more detailed. Using a single city of that size actually allows Rockstar to be ''more'' creative, to better capture that experience in that city (by concentrating on it, rather than split focus between three separate locations), be more realistic (in terms of both the physical city, and the constant travel by the protagonist) and be more detailed.
