GTA 5 (Anybody got any leaked information/video/pictures?
MegaScientifical:
I don't think split screen is that intensive. Maybe you're keeping some close-up-only assets rendered for both players relative, but the world should be loaded, events should be loaded. Things get synced between both of you.

Those close up things take up a ton of resources. Also, the world isn't loaded. That's why split screen is a unique problem now. Streaming content systems are the norm for current system's pathetic amount of RAM to hold the world and details. In addition to that, loaded and rendered are much different things. If you were to turn any modern game wireframe, you would see that even more of the world being covered up by other walls is being culled. This is actually also the reason why weapon models are getting bigger in FPS games and why FoVs get lower and lower (planetside 2 actually starts at a whole 55 degrees, despite being a PC game! Call of Duty starts at 65 degrees).

This seems to make perfect sense.

lets rap up what we know so far....
(keep in mind I read the game informer magazine a while ago so if I miss something who cares yolo)
GTA V - 1/4 of the map is bigger than red dead redemption, gta 4 and san andreas combined. (the room to spare must be the other pieces of land)
The land will feature mountains, beaches, most likely grass fields,
There will be farms, with over 150 operating NPCs, working, throwing hay bales, operating combines, etc.
There is an underwater world, from which you can grab scuba diving kits and explore the vast ocean. (aquatic animals?? easter eggs??)
There will be a variety of animals (which you can probably kill) Dogs, cows, and so much other stuff. PETA is restricting some rights to gta v lol stuff whoresies!!
Boats, planes, helicopters, BMX bikes, street bikes, and more has all been confirmed in the game informer article. (bmx sweet :) )
(based on what i say) there will obviously be a military base, because San Diego is a main United States naval base. (there was also a military base in GTA:SA. Some more proof to back this up is the jet, I can guarentee you that you can't find a dang military jet randomly at a civilian airport. (that would be abnormally handicapped, unless it has a meaning)
I really don't feel like wrapping up the main characters because we already know alot about them....
micheal white guy ex bank robber, had a "treaty" with the FIB, or FBI....
franklin - Car repo man, black man
trevor - trashy redneck, an ex military pilot. (he may be ugly as hell, but you get to fly planes earlier than the other players!!)
