Why do you think that? The art director was interviewed for the new game and said... "Los Santos is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined, with room to spare. This expansive environment includes beachfronts, wine country, a large wilderness area surrounding a fully explorable Mt. Chiliad, a Salton Sea region, a military base, and of course the sprawling sub-urban hills leading up to the bustling centre of Los Santos. Bring your scuba equipment, too, because you can even explore the fully detailed ocean floor along the Los Santos coastline."

Seems like he'd know what he's talking about as he worked on the designs for all games mentioned.

Also, check out this excerpt from the Gameinformer article. Hard not to get excited after reading it.
