San Andreas in GTA V: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:30, 17 November 2013

The State of San Andreas is a fictional West Coast state in the United States. The state is based on California and Nevada.

Information

The only area of San Andreas that is playable in GTA V is Los Santos and Blaine County. However, this area is obviously not representative of all the state. Though the map in GTA V is an island, the map is simply designed that way in order to keep the feeling of freedom for the player. In theory, Los Santos and Blaine County may very well be connected with other fictional areas of the state, but simply do not appear.

The small portion of San Andreas in GTA V features a number of mountain ranges, farms, deserts, woodlands, lakes, parks, towns, and a major city (Los Santos). The capital of San Andreas is unknown, but it may be based on Sacramento.

Cities, Towns, and Counties

Areas that don't appear in GTA V

San Fierro
Las Venturas
Red County (Red County is mentioned in GTA IV, so it likely exists in GTA V)

Trivia

The state flag of San Andreas is identical to that of California, with the exception of a beaver replacing a bear and the flag being colored blue rather than red.

-*San Andreas is noticeably different from its rendition in [[GTA: San Andreas]]. For example, [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] has been completely redesigned. Though it shares a few resemblances to its [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|GTA San Andreas counterpart]], with both renditions being directly based on [[wp:Los Angeles|Los Angeles]], Los Santos has completely new neighborhoods, landmarks, and locations of many returning landmarks are different. In addition,  GTA V's rendition of the city appears to be larger, and more geographically consistent with the real-life city of Los Angeles.
-*It's likely we'll only see a small portion of the state (Southern San Andreas), since the game will likely take place in a "re-imagined, Southern California". Rockstar may add places traditionally not included in Southern California.
-*[[San Fierro]] and [[Las Venturas]] will at least likely be referenced in the game, as [[Vice City]] and the latter two were mentioned in GTA IV and it's episodes numerous times, despite not being added, alongside real-life cities being mentioned. There is rumor that San Fierro and Las Venturas may serve as DLC, however there is no confirmation. Similar rumors arose about the inclusion of an island based on [[wp:Staten Island|Staten Island]] being included in [[GTA IV Episodes|the DLC for GTA IV]] - However, no new locations were added in the DLC.
-*The name of the state can be confirmed from the license plates seen in the game, which are evidently based on California's.
-*This rendition of the state will take place in modern day or perhaps near future (approx. 2008-2014), rather than [[1992]] in a previous rendition of the state. Not only does Rockstar's information confirm this, but also cars, landmarks (for example, [[wp:Pacific Park|Pacific Park]], which is parodied as [[Pleasure Pier]], was not opened until 1996), and the general game's plot on the recession era (late 2007-2010) and post-recession (2010-present day) United States.
