Remember, We’ve Got a Lot More than Los Santos to Discover in GTA V
At first I thought we were getting a subtle glimpse of San Fierro in Grand Theft Auto V, but now I’m not so sure. The bridge in this shot, one of a dozen screens Rockstar released yesterday, doesn’t bear enough of a resemblance and the location is out of whack. Hell, I was hoping that…
