Basically, draw distance was always an issue back in the 2000s when it came to rendering increasingly large game spaces. San Andreas was famous at the time for letting you see notably farther than its previous sequels, but here take a look at the various city skylines and you can see for miles.

It is absolutely worth remembering that once you start viewing these old games' maps from above with zero fog or obscuring elements, they can start to look tiny.

At the time, San Andreas felt like another world on the other side of the screen, and it's going to take a more careful approach to replicate that sensation when modern technology lets an entire map appear in an instant.
