One of the more alluring aspects of Grand Theft Auto V (for me, anyway) is the sheer size and scope of the game's city, Los Santos. Modeled after the real-world Los Angeles, CA and its outlying counties, Los Santos is brought to life by thousands of different parts working at once. When you are driving - or flying - around the city, it is hard to actually take in how alive the city is. Check out this time-lapsed video which shows just how active the city of Los Santos is.

Grand Theft Auto V was developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games on September 17th, 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Grand Theft Auto Online was launched on October 1st, 2013. Video below courtesy of YouTube user DigitalFoundry.
