3. Los Santos and the Surrounding Area
We've all seen the screenshots, haven't we? The city of Los Santos, the mountains, sea and the countryside that surrounding it simply looks breathtaking. In GTA IV, Liberty City looked fantastic but it was just that, a city. There was some water surrounding it, but nothing else. There was no variety. After San Andreas had a world with Mt. Chiliad and the huge rural countryside, fans expected more from IV and rightly so. Finally Rockstar will deliver what the fans have been anticipating for many years - a sprawling urban environment and the rural environment in one game. Oh, and of course, the sea. The most exciting feature in GTA V for me is the ability for underwater exploration, which is something that was touched upon in San Andreas but not really that player friendly as you couldn't be underwater for too long. Screenshots have already shown that there will be scuba gear, submarines and sharks, so seeing this imagine alone already makes it one of the most anticipated features in the game. I presume that there will be a lot to see underwater too, so imagine being suddenly eaten by a shark whilst you are busy exploring? It would be so infuriating, but so fun at the same time. There has been some criticism that there is not more than one city included in GTA V, but I wonder whether that will even matter when we get our hands on the game. Rockstar have said that this is the largest world that they have ever created, so I believe it will be more than enough to satisfy even the most difficult to please. There will be so much to do and see that everyone will forget about having another city. But what will there be to do, exactly? Well, read on.
