Akkording to wikipedia Rockstar has recreated four of the five boroughs in New York City, as well as parts of New Jersey. Broker is the GTA IV equivalent of Brooklyn, Manhattan is now called Algonquin, Queens is now Dukes, the Bronx is Bohan, and New Jersey is Alderney (after the Channel Island of the same name). The total area of the map is smaller than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but the new rendition of Liberty City will be more detailed, and larger than any previous individual cities in the GTA series. Additionally, according to the Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK, "to get from one side of the new and improved Liberty City to the other will take you at least an hour." Rockstar has stated that it's the biggest single city in a GTA game yet, and although smaller than San Andreas, it is comparable to it in terms of scope when "the level of verticality of the city, the number of buildings you can go into, and the level of detail in those buildings" are taken into account.[6] Furthermore, developers are still deciding whether bridges will be used to cordon off certain areas, by way of blocking access to cross them.[1] However, eventually the player will be able to lead Niko Bellic to explore Roosevelt Island and cross the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges. The GTA IV equivalent of the Statue of Liberty is called the "Statue of Happiness", and DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is known as "BOABO" (Beneath the Offramp of the Algoquin Bridge Overpass). Another building called "Twitchins", the GTA version of Brooklyn's Domino's Sugar Factory, is in the game. A Staten Island-esque area will not be featured in the game for the reason that Rockstar believes it would not be fun to play there; Dan Houser also states that that there would not be any "dead spots" or "irrelevant space" within Liberty City such as the wide open deserts in San Andreas. Pedestrians are much more intelligent, realistic and diverse, using mobile phones, cash machines, eating snacks, drinking soda, reading newspapers, scratching their nose, coughing and interacting with each other through laughter and threatening remarks. Pedestrians and traffic flow will also be different depending on the time of day. Dan Houser has also confirmed that an area resembling Central Park will be in the game. It has been announced that some meetings in the game will take place high in the office buildings of skyscrapers which will subsequently allow Niko to throw people off the buildings. However, Niko won't be able to access all the buildings in the game. This game sounds neat, all you guys should buy it!

GTA4 LOOKS PRETTY GOOD hey

Just like real city traffic then.*

Just like at DAC then.

*I'm so looking forward to cleaning up the traffic with flamethrower and a variety of explosives. I also hope there will be pets/stray animals which can be, like in Postal 2, soaked with gas and lit up, so they start running and causing fires.

That's, at least to me, the least improtant part of the game. The best part is, IMHO, just driving around, or doing mission that requires you to drive. GTA is casually cool.

susan.

i bought GTA 3, mangos. There were also some nice poster with a map and on the backside some mafioso artwork, also it had a manual, you usually would think every game has a manual, fucking no.

Halflife 2, next time i am waiting till they drop the price, the only thing you need is the fucking cd-key.

Btw, GTA 4 has multiplayer and i hope it`ll be only possible to play it with a original cd key. I hope Rockstar is that smart.

vice city was the last game i bought, i think

the posters from the games are all totally chouette, rockstar certainly hires good graphic designers -- unlike most other game studios.

provided that i can run it, i'll probably buy gta4 as well. i am genuinely hyped about this game, though a little saddened by the xbox 360 exclusive content, i thought rockstar was cooler than that

also, half-life 2 is easily warez'd (try demonoid)

I'm not planning on downloading it

I bought Vice City and San Andreas.

I meant the game is fun to play in a relaxed and cool attitude; driving under the sunshine in a ferrari, going by palmtrees and listening to funky disco music, or driving some ghetto cadillac as a afro-wearing negro with gold chains.

San Andreas easily had the best style out of them all.

It did, but not because of the setting, because it was their third game with the same engine, and it was more polished.

Ya, it was basically the same shit in a different wrapper. If you hadn't played GTA3 and GTA:VC before San Andreas, there wasn't really any point to do so afterwards, since GTA:SA was just a larger, polished version of it's predecessors

nah, niggas you got that wrong, GTA:SA had a stupid camera and i always needed to hold my mouse while driving

... was the biggest shit. then the new aiming system was kinda dumb and those gang fights were boring hack`n`slash. GTA:Vice City is da best, without doubt. I want a GTA IV: Vice City II or something.

also the poll says: "Let KoC decide." ... okay then KoC decide.

Only RPG's need apply

Duck and Cover

Now, that Fallout 3 will suck...

Should DaC cover more news to specific games? (GTA 4, etc. see thread)
