they did a good job, but all the differences irk meI finally got this today. I spent the last hour or two running through the map to see how it compared to the real thing. This shyt is legit brehs There's obviously a lot that's not there but what is there is a lot more faithful to the real places than I thought it would be. They recreated Frank Ogawa Plaza (Oakland City Hall) down to the ampitheatre and the big Oak tree that 12th street BART/Federal Building plaza is damn near identical too. Jack London Square looks EXACTLY like the real place, I was just there at Plank the other day so it was trippy af seeing a virtual Plank.
The SF geography is pretty accurate too... I see they "cleaned" it up though
I rode by SF City Hall and was like Damn is the Tenderloin around the corner like in real life? Hell no, they put Union Square where the Tenderloin should've been Next thing I checked out was to see if they redid Hunters Point. They had the drawbridge next to AT&T Park just like IRL but no HP though. No Fillmore either for that matter.... They got West Oakland and a tiny ass East Oakland though. I see why Marcus had to be from Oakland
The map is crazy detailed though, that's one thing Ubisoft always gets right. I'm looking forward to seeing the story, it definitely looks like its relevant for the times.

they got Haight to the south of Golden Gate Park. then it seems like they combined Alamo Square Park ('Painted Ladies') with Buena Vista Park
as a skateboarder a lot of stuff was missing or just wrong. no one skating at the SF library. 'china banks' weren't even banks. no Pier 7. no Hubba Hideout (it's gone IRL too I guess). no 3rd & Army. no 'islands' at EMB. and no skateboarders
they made sure to have some rainbow flags up in The Castro though. the TL looking extra trashy was pretty funny
I was impressed they had the cave at the Sutro Baths. Seal Rock was there tooYup I noticed that too, they combined the Haight and Sunset into one area and condensed Fillmore to Alamo Square. One thing I was impressed by though was Land's End and Ocean Beach, the coast, the caves and the pool ruins look the same.
I was surprised they didn't include Berkeley/North Oakland/Bay Street at all but they got the Chevron plant in Richmond, there's a few other omissions that are interesting but it's mostly just nitpicking at the end of the day. I still aint seen what they did with Silicon Valley, I'm bout to check that out.
