ok, the estimated size of OB is 16 mi. sq. so I figure thatt measures out to four miles by four miles....if san andreas was that size you would tade estimately four minutes to cross the landscape at 60mph, which is slower than I would go in those cars.
So I really, really doubt that OB is as big as a car inhabited world, but as has already been pointed out....OB is vastly more filled with stuff to do, people to talk to, quests to do, items to find, caves to empty, AI to test, thieveing to be done, and killing to enjoy without some inevitable cop level going up.
I don't think it's fair to compare a game where you constantly take cars for getting around to a game where walking is the primary mode of transportation....in terms of size... I don't really think it is relavent either....as the devs pointed out, it is less the size and more the content concentration that is important.
