Story about fans discontinued secrets Grand Theft. AUTO 5.and about how they did it.

On September 30, the Ovens Krega published an extensive article about fans, who attempted to create a map of Los Santos and Blein County for a long time the game was released. Introducing your attention to the translation of this article.

In July 2012, Rockstar published the following screenshot: For most of us, this image is only one unambiguous fact. It says that Grand Theft Auto V There are helicopters. At that time it was not a curious fact. In the end, GRAND THEFT AUTO IV was also helicopters. We wanted to know about the airships, fighters, about all sorts of steep pieces. But for a limited group of game fans, this picture was a breakthrough, which they were waiting for a long time, the missing part of an extremely ambitious puzzle.

"From this screenshot, we learned almost about the entire western part of the city," says Thomas Rondo, the education geographer is better known under the pseudonym Fido_le_muet on gtaforums.com. Rondo is a devoted member of the GTA-fanatikov team who laid a serious cartographic test. They intended to create a map of Total Los Santos, from the airport to the harbor, from the golden sands to the highest mountain verticesEven before the game was released.

"In the first trailer, we saw only a downtown and a glimpse of Santa Monica and Venice," explains Rondo, referring to the real regions Los Angeleswhich Rockstar visually searched to create the appropriate areas of Los Santos. "But with this new [screenshot], we saw the whole western part of the city. This makes the map what it is now."

It is not surprising that the cartography has become one of the aspects that Rondo liked most in mind his profession. "The main idea I find an attractive" - \u200b\u200bexplains Rondo - "Start with a clean leaf and slowly, step by step to create something significant."

And cartographers began work, in fact slowly. The first few options of the map were very rude sketches, stitched from the flap of the city plan, which they were able to extract from the first trailers. Rockstar rarely indiscriminate fans with a generous marketing, so that cardographers had to work with a very scarce material: one screenshot from the air here, a three-second excerpt with the angle of the street there.

They intently examined those parts of the screenshots that most of us did not even notice: filled with the sun or shrouded in fog backgrounds, streets that flashed behind the characters or helicopter blades. It was not from lungs, but their enthusiasm paid off in full. Even the very first rude sketch of the Rondo card turned out to be a movement in the right direction: a few passages with the exact location of the streets, drifting among the gaps, and even the gross outlines of the Bleine district are nevertheless distinguishable. This is a card that will be subsequently refined with each stage, as more and more enthusiasts will pay attention and sacrifice their time, and more and more geographical details will be available to analyzes in the form of screenshots.

Thomas Rondo's first attempt to display the map of Los Santos, in about January 2012.

So how did they do it? How they with the help of these losted information from the context of information about Los Santos created the exact plan - a surprisingly accurate plan, as it turned out to be a ready-made city? Yes, Rockstar North is of course very hidden, but in the hands of cartographers there was one fairly serious source of information on which it is impossible to impose restrictions - Los Angeles.

Los Santos is Los Angeles. He is not just inspired by the last. This is a real Los Angeles, transformed and perverted by Rockstar North. And although it is not perfectly accurate, parts of the city look almost identical, and it is probably best to consider as an excerpt from the brightest details of Los Angeles. All tourist attractions in their places, but as a Hollywood plastic surgeon, Rockstar removes excess fat: sleeping areas, little-known sights, ugly urban outskirts. Do it, then slightly mix the location of what remains before each street, a showcase or advertising poster will be held through the filter of the characteristic caricature of brands, and you will begin to emerge what will be Los Santos.

The real Los Angeles gave the creators of the map the idea of \u200b\u200bwhere the main geographical objectsHow the areas of the city must be interconnected. It was much more useful than a comparison with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which carries no more similarities with a modern embodiment than Liberty City in GTA III. However, even though the fans appeared an approximate idea of \u200b\u200bhow their final version of the map will look like, they still had to take each screenshot and determine which part of the city he depicts. It doesn't seem to be enough for this information to continue. They need something specific, some undeniable guidelines connecting the real world with the creation of Rockstar.

Sights. Test on Los Santos and dozens of remarkable features of Los Angeles, filed under GTA-sauce, will be sweeping under the GTA-sauce: the "Weinwood" sign is the most obvious of them, but obviously, this is all what it is notable for us. The following on our list of downtown skyscrapers.

"We defined the buildings based on where they are located in real life," explains Rondo. "We have identified obvious buildings such as US Bank Tower, California Plaza, The Westin Bonaventure [and] began to place these buildings in relation to each other. At the very beginning we had several cards from different authors. We borrowed ideas from each other. "

Look again on the image at the beginning of this article. This is a helicopter soaring over the city, definitely inspired by Los Angeles, but nothing more clarifying, right? But how this screenshot looked in the eyes of cartographers:
And this is even before they started to scour in Google StreetView in search of less clear buildings.

"It's like treasure hunting," says the Member of the Mrthingus Forum, who found and defined the location including Powell Library and the Beverley Hills Hotel. Peninsula. "You are peering in a screenshot, carefully read this particular area to find something that It can be noted on a hand-made card. Search for attractions Even before the game came out gives such a feeling of pleasure and excitement, what happens when you know that in just a few months or weeks will be able to drive through the virtual Los Sangeles with the level of detail that only a few games made earlier may afford. "

This excitement, anticipation of anticipation in anticipation, permeates all the efforts of cartographers. They were the most loyal fans of Rockstar North, so thirsting to try the world, which they knew them was prepared that they tried to embody him in advance.

"I think the main motivation for many of us was what was highly expected," Robert's cartographer, who is known on the forum under the LXR pseudonym. "You will not be able to play it, as we thought, at least half a year. It turned out that even longer. How would you experience this expectation? I think many did it because it was the only way to visit this map, understand? "

The need for compilers of the card as soon as possible visit Los Santos reflects the net, striking strength of the worlds created by Rockstar. Under the surface of their sharp, cartoon satire, Los Santos and Liberty City somehow fit into themselves inspirations from real life with hypereral, almost mythic New York and Los Angeles, who are known to us from cinema. Maybe this is not New and La, but they awaken the strongest sensation of these cities, more than many other games trying to more reliably reproduce any cities.

The time spent in Liberty City inspired many to cartography, as the compiler of the Koeeklin map recalls, which began to go to the sights even in GTA 4.

"I did not know much about New York, "" He says - "I knew that Liberty City was inspired by this city, but I didn't imagine how." Once, when Koeeklin replayed The Snow Storm, a mission in the middle of the game in which Niko Bellic makes his way through the stolen hospital's insides to return the stolen bag With cocaine, and caught himself on the thoughts about the oddity of the environment. That the abandoned hospital does so close to the sparkling lights of Manhattan, well, however, let Algonkina?

"I thought it was strange that a huge destroyed building is located on Colony Island," he says - "and I am interested in me, in whether there is a similar place in New York. I went to Google Maps. And easily found it. This is a lessed hospital on Roosevelt Island.

"After that, I tried to check many different places and I was surprised to find that they also have in New York. I already could see the city as before, I felt that I re-opened this game for myself. So I naturally identified Buildings in Los Santos starting from the first GTA 5 trailer. "

The love of map compilers to these cities is an indisputable refutation of any argument seeking to limit the role of Grand Theft Auto Pogrom, which is happening in them. "The murder of people, burning [them], grinding the wheels of the car has never been classes, interesting for me in GTA," - makes the conclusion Koeeklin - "I have a whole city for which I can walk freely. I prefer to play a tourist."

Los Santos and Los Angeles relatives should be a convenient tool for those who amounted to the city map, but what about the countryside? These cartographers have much less reference to real worldYou can use: Rockstar began to portray things a little less reliably relatively real life. The further they were removed from the borders of the city. Countryside in GTA V, the outlines that she accepted, and its location relative to Los Santos remained a big question for the card creation project for a long time.

"When I became a member of the topic a year ago," - explains Robert - "We had an already developed city, but the rural locale remained a big mystery." At that time, no one expected Alamo-Si, which is based on the Salton-Si, will be located north of Weynwood. We thought type: "Why do they do it? In real life it is in the south-west [USA - a translator's note (or error, the lake is southeast of Los Angeles)], can not be!"

Before the fact was installed cartographers, nevertheless passed through countless versions. Is the map island? Or is there a few islands? Is Los Santos of the infinite automatically generated by the desert, or invisible walls? And just how extensive can rural areas, what can they take shape, how will it really be?

"There was no versions about the sizes," "says Robert -" It was damn difficult to determine what you see [in the screenshot]: how big is it? How much can it be kilometers? Does she end there? "

And then compilers of the cards realized that Rockstar gave them all the necessary hooks.

At a fairly early stage, the Rockstar advertising campaign published the following screenshot, the location of which, thanks to the known sign of Weinewood, could be easily installed. But more importantly, at the same time, this screenshot gives us a teasing glimpse of rural buildings outside the city. "It was the first screenshot that we had, which allowed to connect the city with what was behind him." - remembers Robert.
By itself, however, the screenshot was useless. The prospect and distances were almost impossible to judge something, and well, it was possible to say how the sullen countryside behind is located relative to anything, which has already been shown. Those of us who have already played the game since then, it should be realized that Alamo-C may look stretched from a long distance, but at that time the contents of this foggy shadow were the subject of fierce disputes. The picture was analyzed, it was repeatedly discussed again and again, but then left alone.

Until then, Robert draws a closer look at the next screenshot, while this was not released in the same series of screenshots ...
... And then things began to fulfill the meaning.

"If you look at the screenshot with a helicopter you can see the fog in the background," - explains Robert - "What I saw after it looked at him for a long time, so it's if you look at the mountain range on the distinguished way, with three or four ridges, and then look at the screenshot with Trevor, then you note that there is a mountain in the background. And I found four or five distinctive features among those ledges that made an ideal coincidence.

It is difficult to see, because the prospect is different. But as soon as you see that these two images actually share some very unique features among themselves, you will understand that what you see in the screenshot with a helicopter at Weinewood is nothing more than Alamo-Si.

Methods that were used to build a countryside map demanded enough painstaking work. Map compilers searched screenshots in search of distinctive geographical features, and then tried to find the same on other screenshots, gradually building their vision of San Andreas plan to fasten the screenshots one by one by chain. It's not as simple as it sounds.

"I really learned a lot about the prospect of this year, making a map of Los Santosa," says Robert laughing. "Perspective - a terrible bastard. The map is just huge and the closer you are to the ground, the more it is more. So all those screenshots used very different optics. Sometimes things seem too remote, but in other screenshots taken with another focal length, they look like Very close to each other. "

"You will learn about the future," he continues - "about how you create something. You will learn about the photogrammetry, which is generally a science of receiving photos of something and then find out the three-dimensional parameters of this object. How do you determine what it is Straight line? People, and I'm among them, constantly do it wrong. "

It does not help that Rockstar time from time to time manipulates her screenshots, and I am not only about a moment with strangely modified contrast:

"You can't navigate the sun!" - Laughing Robert.

"Much of our analysis was founded in the direction of the Sun," - explains Rondo - "But we found that the sun is not always located where it should be. In some screenshots, the sun was straight in the north."

When Rockstar was not played in God to get the lighting such as they needed on their screenshots, the studio nevertheless had a habit of hard to improve their creation, forcing compilers to customize their cards in response. And, of course, the speculative designs of cartographers were constantly pushed into many options for non-obstinate Natural Geography of San Andreas, the laws of the real world.

"There was a case when two buildings, as I think, were moved over time," says Robert - "We realized that I didn't change much on the map. But still there was always careful in their conclusions. In Alamo-Si It does not fall anything. We expected that there would be one - but there was no one. There is a reservoir upstairs, but around it should have been the mountains to be a full-fledged reservoir, right? Not. You need to apply logic, but sometimes it is a game logic "He explained.

Nevertheless, the compilers finished this card, as can be seen from the Rondo Gifki, showing the evolution of their efforts undoubtedly showing.

They were so close, in fact, that when the official card eventually leaked a little earlier this year, many players did not believe the discovery: the real card was suspiciously close to the compiled fans that they saw several weeks earlier.

"There was nothing surprising in this, we were sure that we were close," says Robert with deserved indispensable - "it was obvious that we did it. Because there was a trailer showing a robbery that actually showed parts of the card. More Before anything left into the network. "

Map compilers have not yet completed. Even now they are fusing the game world (and Google StreetView) to find each architectural composition to the last and find its real source. It is not surprising that the Card Drawing Project irrevocably changed the attitude of his participants with the game, as they certainly know the path through the hectares of San Andreas so good as its creators.

Robert Memes, when I lost it, what is it to step up in the end of Los Santos and the surrounding countryside. And he told.

"Bl ** b ... it ... really strange to actually have such an opportunity ... because, you understand, because there were so many places on the map, where I thought type," Oh, that would turn the camera on Ten degrees in the screenshot "... and, suddenly get the opportunity to just go there ... It's great. It is really fine. The ability to ride on this map - just fantasy. This is exciting ... The first thing I did in the game - got a car And drove around the card, very slowly. " - explained Robert.

He wanted to see how everything docked, such as he knew it should be, as he revealed and all other compilers of the card. But he also had a specific destination.

"I knew about the railway bridge," says Robert calmly - "We didn't have his image, we only saw both of his end, where the highway and railway tracks were on different directions of each other. It was obvious that there should be a bridge .. . It was really fun to see how he really looks like. No one knew how he looks, but I knew that he was there. "

For most of us, the exit to the tanned streets of Los Santos last week was the beginning of the adventure: began endless research. But what is it for compilers of the card? - It was the end of their long journey home.

An attempt to create a map of Los Santos became possible thanks to the active cooperation of many people to which I want to contact.

Only flew to Los Santos, and in a hurry to escape from the acidic persons met at the airport?

It is difficult not to notice a dazzling white glitter, which reminds any homeless thing that he survives not somewhere there, and in the city of Angels! It is impossible to climb even drunk foreigners to the sign, for it faces a fine of $ 500. But will we be honest when someone stopped?

Ganton (Ganton)

This poor area was seen in the second trailer. GTA 5. Very similar to Ganton, which is copied from the actual existing Compton region.

Eastern Beach. (East Beach)

A place at this screenshot resembles a really existing Long Beach or Playa Del Seville from GTA San Andreas.

Los Santos Suburb

Materials are not very much here. Yet developers strive to show the main part of the city anymore. However, in the diversity of the surrounding main city GTA 5 locations do not have to doubt - Rockstar has a lot of experience with wildlife and villages since the GTA San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption.

Beach

Light beaches with golden sand - a great place for dog walking!

Perhaps the following beaches will appear in GTA 5:

• Mission Beach (Mission Beach)
• San Clemente (San Clemente)
• Koronado Beach (Coronado Beach)
• Malibu (Malibu)

River Zankudo

Zankudo is a beautiful mountain river. From Spanish Zancudo translates as "Mosquito".

In addition, the appearance of the Santa Ana River (Santa Ana River) is possible.

Groves and farm

Perhaps players will be able to acquire farms in GTA 5. And may not be able to - Time will tell!
