A lot of angry fans sit there Tweeting, emailing, forum and blog posting about how Rockstar has abandoned GTA fans by not releasing GTA V info. Well, you be angry no more because we have new details today.
Rockstar have released two brand new screenshots for the much-anticipated game via their latest “Asked and Answered” article. The first one you’ve already seen above and the second one is below…
What we see here is good example of the improved engine. Why this probably won’t be on a Max Payne level, due to the bigger world, it does look pretty damn sweet. My keen eye does not spot much new content, but one graphical improvement I would like to highlight is the picture clarity. GTA 4 sometimes looked blurry and hazy, especially at a distant. GTA V looks bright, clean and beautiful.
Now, this one is more interesting. Although we already assumed this, it shows helicopters will be open to the player. I would also like to highlight the scale of the city. It’s huge. See the building with the cranes on the left? Looks like the STD Contractor’s building from the first trailer. Also, just under it, the smaller, rounder building, is next to the freeway from San Andreas if I remember correctly. Therefore, we can assume many old locations will return. The tall buildings in the background seem to indicate we are looking at the world from the Grove Street/Ganton area, but it is unlikely the layouts will match perfectly.
Seems similar, doesn’t it? Although the tall white building behind it is absent from the above screen.

Finally!!!!
These pictures suck
Its clearly the same graphical leap GTA III was to GTA Sanandreas. Looks 35% to 45% better than GTA IV.
What do you use to measure gaphical measure graphical power?
ahaha ryan too funny
It doesn’t look like the 2nd picture was taken above Ganton/Grove Street. The sea looks like it’s behind the helicopter, so most likely it was taken above the Richman/Rodeo area and the photo is facing South East (if the layout is similar to San Andreas)
…god I’m so bored…
Looking at the picture from my iPad in the distance just below the helicopter I can’t work out if it is a crane or the golden gate bridge? As it does look pretty Like it but it’s too hard to tell and why would it be there.
Someone on the IGN Boards said it is the bridge to Long Island.
Its a crane, in no way can it be the Golden Gate Bridge since San Fransisco/ San Fierro is 300+ miles away from Los Angeles/ Los Santos. Your clealry not from California LOL.
its the Vincent Thomas Bridge
The 2nd picture looks like glen park to me and it looks awesome!
Rockstars version of Echo Park i think
Find it funny how last week apparently everyone’s frustrated with r* for the lack of info but now everyone’s happy because of two screenshots? That’s probally the most info your now going to get until release dates announced. They said it them selves, they want as many surprises for the viewer as possible which means no info :) might aswell just ignore it till its out tbh
I dnt think that the map would be bigger, just larger. Eg, like a marble would turn into a golf ball, it only got bigger, no other golf balls where made.
I wanna push that guy down who is sitting on that bridge so badly………..
R* and there imaginative advertising and marketting strategy has already backifired for me. I already avoided L.A Noire and Max Payne 3 as a result.
And i agree with YourADouche, its sad how everyone was pissed off and are now creaming at two screenshots showing nothing interesting. Me? Im still pissed off.
