gamesradar.com — This is a pretty cool feature - they've taken stills from the GTAIV trailer and compared them against their respective real-world locations in New York. Looks like Rockstar have been doing some homework...

This reminds me of the time I went to daytona beach. I forget which street I was on but it was the last one before the beach. I looked to my right and got the damnedest feeling of recognition. There was this pink strip club, and I swear it was the pole position (don't remember the exact name). My friends and I freaked out, and I found out later that vice city was pieced together from specific locations throughout southern Florida.

I think they're over-doing it a bit with the sun. Unless this is set 5 Billions years in the future when it goes Red Giant, in that case it's probably the appropriate effect.

Why do the character models _still_ look like they suit a game like Goldeneye?

"It's hard to tell which is real and which is fake. This game looks like it will be amazing!"No it's not. Still seems like bloom = realism.

Rockstar is awesome... too bad it will be on the PS3... here's hoping they will wise up and release on other consoles and the PC (aren't they interested in money???), because I'm not buying a PS3 no matter what, just like I didn't buy the PS2, even when GTA 3 / Vice City / San Andreas came out (I waited for the PC version to finally come out)

I'd like 'movie' New York in a game rather than the real place. Like going to 55 Central Park West and looking up to see the Temple of Gozer on top of the apartment building. Or finding Monk's Diner (Seinfeld) or Central Perk (Friends). The games are already full of movie in-jokes as it is, so this kind of thing wouldn't be a stretch.Though maybe finding Q: The Winged Serpent nesting in the Chrysler Building or CHUDs in the sewers might be pushing it...

What about the Statue of Liberty?

So is the voice done by Jean Reno? The main character looks enough like him.At least that is who it reminded me of instantly.

I hope There are more Peds on the street especially in Time Square, because The last Gta's lacked the peds in areas of interest. San Andreas felt like an empty city with limited amount of people to kill.

Wow, they improved the graphics without getting rid of the GTA art style, just what I wanted.

To me...one of the bridges seems to be a combination of the 59th street bridge(with the cable car) and the Manhattan bridge(location relative to the bridge that looks like the Brooklyn bridge and the design) and based on that shot from the base of the bridge, I think it is reminiscent of the base of the Triboro bridge at Astoria park. The benches seem to indicate it's a park. That trailer has me so hyped up. I can't wait for some gameplay. <a class="user" href="http://www.gwafi.com/news.html">http://www.gwafi.com/news.html</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.gwafi.com/story.html">http://www.gwafi.com/story.html</a>
