As of yet Rockstar have NOT confirmed the entirety of San Andreas. That IGN article only refers to the trailer, they haven't got any insider knowledge from R*.
And before everyone states that "The licence plates confirm everything",
the licence plates in GTA IV said the words "Liberty City State", but yet we only had one city. Not multiple cities and/or countryside.

What we saw in the trailer confirms LS and what seems like a decent chuck of countryside and mountainous regions.
As much as that I hope there is more to this game than just Los Santos, we have no confirmation that we will have any more.
But at the same time we have no confirmation that we wont!

Just don't get carried away before you know the full details, because being calm about it now, is nothing compared to how rage-worthy everyone will be if it does turn out to be only Los Santos.

They really are. Im doubt it will be worth it to do all the cities again.

UPDATE

Well, here’s the word from Rockstar themselves: We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development. Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created. A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.

It's almost definitely focused on the Vinewood area. But it looks much bigger than the old Los Santos.

[dre1218us]

Yeah it's crazy how people are running with this.

IGN was basing that article based off the trailer, not a real R* source.

But by the next trailer we'll know what's up

Im sorry bro I did not actually read your post as im too excited right now to read but judging from your title im going to say this:

There is alot of evidence saying it is the whole of Sanandreas like the fact that there is country side you can also see portions of what look like Las Venturas and San Fierro and even if it is just a small portion of Sanandreas this game is going to be epic just look at the trailer bro its AMAZING .

[Hurrikane]

Ummm hello it is whavever you want to call it , SA, SA mommy, Los Santos V, it has jets so it is a big city remember why R* didnt have planes in IV, bc the city was small. Why cant people understand this, it will be SA or whatever they call it, but it will NOT NOT NOT be one city or town or whatever you want to call it, it WILL be multiple settings that are huge.

[gtatheory]

if not have the 3 cities, will be catastrophic
imagine another gta4 now in Los Santos?
I dont think so if exists airplanes in trailer its t mean to have a lot of ground to overfly

[grope_4_that_date]

It's definitely only Los Santos and surrounding areas - if you look at how detailed the city is, you'll know that to be true. They wouldn't be able to fit both cities on a disc.

[Remix]

Why would they merely focus on one city?

Next trailer will show the next city, for sure.

[WF the Hobgoblin]

We've seen nothing so far that suggests the whole of San Andreas will be available and quite honestly, I'd rather just have a big detailed Los Santos.

[CryptReaperDorian]

Alderney was a state (based off New Jersey).

I don't know if it will be the entire San Andreas yet, but I'm really hoping for it. GTA SA was awesome with all of its variety in locations!

[ccrogers15]

yes but country was shown, LS was shown, desert was shown and mountains where shown. Plus the licence plate said SA.

remember the original SA trailer only showed Los Santos and we were all suprised to see it have was more then LS. Remember that...

All of which can be found near Los Angeles. It doesn't mean there will be other cities. And of course the licence plate said SA, LS is in SA. It's the name of the state that goes on the plate. Doesn't mean anything.

[GrandTheftDildo]

LV, SF & Vice will be DLC I reckon. I'm sure RS will wanna start fresh for the next gen.

What about the extremely fast jets? I doubt they'd have them in only to be able to fly them for one minute...

Look at the signs. Look for the blurry "san fierro highway".

[mantis117]

Good article. it's nice to see a measured response to the trailer unlike the "OMGZ SAN ANDREAS CONFIRMED!" responses which have cluttered the internet so far. Even if it is more or less the whole state of SA i don't think it will have much resemblance to the San Andreas we all know and love.
Just be thankful we have this much info pick apart from a first trailer, Iv's trailer showed nothing apart from Niko and bits of liberty city.

Entire cities for DLC? Are you crazy? Do you know how much work it takes Rockstar to create such intricately detailed cities? There is no way they would add an entire new city in DLC, not even the slightest chance.

IGN are idiots I dont care if its just LS it looks to have enough variety so it'll be great!

[Jorei]

If i remember right the first trailer of SA focused on Los santos too.But as we all know SA isnt only Los santos and we saw a little desert in the V trailer which suggests that there may be Las Venturas too.
