- theshiz892, on 05/13/2008, -5/+13I'm having trouble telling which one is the real pic and which one is the game... I guess thats a good thing.
- charlie55, on 05/13/2008, -3/+18no you arent, but i get your point.
- ozid, on 05/13/2008, -7/+4out loud, i laughed.
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5there should be a shorter way to express that...
- BearinG, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1I kind of agree.. of course, i know which one is which but If it wasn't for the game pictures being taken with a digital camera (circle noise), if it was actually captured, you would have a hard time seeing which one is real
I mean look at Times Square vs Star Junction (2nd row, 1st pic)... you couldn't say which one is real. Unless you've been to Times Square and if you didn't already know that the GTA images were on the right.
- charlie55, on 05/13/2008, -3/+18no you arent, but i get your point.

- samuraix98, on 05/13/2008, -15/+111Thank you for that, i was waiting till some one showed NYC and LC together in comparison to its real counter part.
- temporaryescape, on 05/13/2008, -2/+28does Rockstar realize what they've done?? this is going to be a huge lawsuit, Giuliani has a copyright on NYC.
- MrCobaltBlue, on 05/13/2008, -1/+20No he has copyright on 9/11 and all 9/11 related products.
- noots, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4does anyone know of a list that compares the GTA4 cars to their real life counter parts? there is a list floating around with the few cars from the trailer, but i can't find a full list anywhere.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2You know they said they took about a quarter of a million reference shots in NYC to make the game? Damn

- jflowers45, on 05/13/2008, -17/+10one word... FANTASTIC!
- ANT1138, on 05/13/2008, -11/+5You've should've just said "FANTASTIC!"...
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3and you should learn to use teh bury button
- CroatSensation7, on 05/13/2008, -11/+6And you should learn when to use "have"
- ANT1138, on 05/13/2008, -5/+3It was a typo. You should learn when to use periods, douchebag.
- FKnight, on 05/13/2008, -2/+4All my grammar and spelling checkers say "should've" is perfectly fine.
- fatrandy13, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5The word "should've" is fine, but it's not grammatically correct with the use of "you've".
- damndj, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1WRONG You have should have just said...
RIGHT You should have just said.. - ANT1138, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I'm aware of that. "You've" was the typo.
- damndj, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1WRONG You have should have just said...
- fatrandy13, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5The word "should've" is fine, but it's not grammatically correct with the use of "you've".
- ANT1138, on 05/13/2008, -11/+5You've should've just said "FANTASTIC!"...
- haxr, on 05/13/2008, -18/+11The Times Square one is great!
- jc7012, on 05/13/2008, -4/+2There's more than one.
- Nayson, on 05/13/2008, -14/+23It would be great if this became a big pool of photos submitted by lots of different people. A real library of shots could be built up.
Id offer to take a few myself, but NY is about 3000 miles away! - zabean, on 05/13/2008, -14/+11liberty city is prettier
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+9and its HD, it has better resolution than real life!
- Bodhinature, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4If I didn't live in Manhattan, I wouldn't know the difference.
- dragonstar08, on 05/13/2008, -16/+74Wow, goes to show how much detail Rockstar put into Liberty City. Kudos to Rockstar on a kick ass game.
- daizaru, on 05/13/2008, -6/+4Yeah it's like the focused more on detail than variational gameplay, which is bizarre in many ways but also neat.
- knetworx, on 05/13/2008, -9/+5Yeah, it's like they focused more on detail than decent controls, a cover system that works, or cars that don't flip over when you hit a curb.
Digg me down all you want, but it still doesn't make the game a 10/10.- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -2/+8waaaaaaa
- Laminarcissus, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3But the controls for beating a hooker to death with a nightstick are incredibly realistic.
10/10!
- knetworx, on 05/13/2008, -9/+5Yeah, it's like they focused more on detail than decent controls, a cover system that works, or cars that don't flip over when you hit a curb.
- Ganja420, on 05/13/2008, -2/+13I hope EA never buys rockstar
- Jaablaze, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3I believe they were trying to purchase take 2, but I'm not 100% sure.
- Metman, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Yes they are but Take 2 refused the offer and a hostile takeover has begun.
- Jaablaze, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3I believe they were trying to purchase take 2, but I'm not 100% sure.
- ligyron, on 05/13/2008, -2/+1There's a lot of detail, but why does everything seem so glowing and blooming?
- etsboy1, on 05/13/2008, -3/+3But does anyone know the real reason why they simply copied it?
Because it's cheap as hell, they don't need to hire/employ people to design new buildings. Just people that can put it into the game. But still, some pretty sweet stuff.- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Oh my God, etsboy1, you are an idiot! You actually think they based it off of New York to make it easier on themselves? Come on!
- Tarsmus, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Congratulations, you just pointed out that you know absolutely nothing about graphic design! Kudos to you!
- daizaru, on 05/13/2008, -6/+4Yeah it's like the focused more on detail than variational gameplay, which is bizarre in many ways but also neat.
- j00b, on 05/13/2008, -37/+7Liberty City is based off NYC?
- Lionhart, on 05/13/2008, -4/+48And the last horse crosses the finish line!
- j00b, on 05/13/2008, -12/+7Just a joke, I forgot I was the third person in the world to get 100% on GTA IV.
- itsthebrod, on 05/13/2008, -2/+14Handy Tip: nobody cares.
- j00b, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1OK, I'll go with that.
- nominalgeek, on 05/13/2008, -8/+1Handy Tip : nobody cares that nobody cares
- krets, on 05/13/2008, -5/+1Handy Tip: nobody cares that nobody cares that nobody cares.
- KevinRWright, on 05/13/2008, -1/+6That makes your ePenis........STILL SMALL!
- j00b, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Aye.
- itsthebrod, on 05/13/2008, -2/+14Handy Tip: nobody cares.
- damndj, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3time to put it down.

- amesjayisoolcay, on 05/13/2008, -11/+3The Astoria Park pool is also GTA-ified perfectly. Its called the Steinway Park pool in the game and I couldn't find a picture online but I'm sure you've all been by it.
Heres the real thing. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/45/184141880_95002a ...

- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2*closes eyes and drools*
- amesjayisoolcay, on 05/13/2008, -11/+5Sorry about the bad links. Heres the pool.

http://bp1.blogger.com/_kulnm8Gjhh8/R5TI2eAmxXI/AA ...- FroTheWin, on 05/13/2008, -4/+1What you did there, I see it.
- mbauer14, on 05/13/2008, -16/+15New York City has massive jaggies. Frame dropping as well. People don't even act realistically.
- Metman, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1Your system is broken? Or perhaps you have an analog tv?
- WallnutBoy, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4It appears nobody read your comment properly -_- I found it funny.
- mbauer14, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2you do what you can, haha.
- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1You're an idiot.
- AshamedAmerican, on 05/13/2008, -17/+12Could somebody do a side by side comparison of these comments and good comments?
- CTK14A, on 05/13/2008, -10/+53Thought I'd compare Alderney vs. New Jersey...
Alderney = Jersey (so named after the Channel Islands in the English Channel)
Alderney City = Jersey City
Normandy = Bayonne (French port towns)
Berchem = Hoboken (Both are provinces in Antwerp, Belgium)
Tudor = Elizabeth (of the Royal House of Tudor)
Port Tudor = Port Elizabeth
Plumber's Skyway = Pulaski Skyway
Finding Satriale's Pork Store (the now-demolished building in Kearny) from The Sopranos on Moog Street was a nice surprise...- polygons, on 05/13/2008, -2/+16Thats actually a very interesting comparison. Now If someone would do some comparison shots.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/13/2008, -22/+4BORING.
- HairyGrapeNuts, on 05/13/2008, -14/+1I agree.
- Metman, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4And yet here you are reading and commenting....
- BN2L, on 05/13/2008, -7/+7Weasel News=Fox News
- CrazyDEX, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3Thanks for that... I was able to pick up most of the neighborhoods in the other boros w/ their real world counterparts, but I didn't really catch the jersey ones.
- DSPoh, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I think Alderney City is supposed to be Weehawken, NJ because of the Booth Tunnel. Booth Tunnel = Lincoln Tunnel (John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln).
- iCallShotgun, on 05/13/2008, -13/+34I still can't believe the detail that went into this game. God damn.
- Ganja420, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3they paid a hefty $100 million to do so
- BearinG, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Well worth it..
- sukhoi47, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1i had to keep reminding myself which side of the picture was NYC... it's hard to tell sometimes with that much detail
- Ganja420, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3they paid a hefty $100 million to do so
- nizzy1115, on 05/13/2008, -12/+7Sometimes I think we forget how real graphics look and only look for small faults now.
- DeadlyAlpaca, on 05/13/2008, -8/+26The effort into this environment is mind boggling. I've played my fair share, and every time I make some mindless and random detour, I only find something new, original, and beautifully crafted. Kudos to the team that created this, as it only gives me more faith in this medium.
- Mikhail101, on 05/13/2008, -21/+37Why the hell did they call it the statue of happiness, that breaks the realism and immersion of the game making it more of a joke. Statue of freedom would have been way better of a name.
- CTK14A, on 05/13/2008, -1/+79Because for security reasons you are NOT free to climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty anymore. I think Rockstar is acknowledging this sad state of affairs; happiness, the material version anyway, now trumps liberty.
- ferrariman60, on 05/13/2008, -1/+18Man, I didn't know that. That blows that you can't go to the top any more.
- CTK14A, on 05/13/2008, -0/+13Note the 'chained heart' inside the in-game statue...
- daishin, on 05/13/2008, -0/+8I went once when I was younger and complained about how slow it was to get to the top and how scary walking back down was. Now I suddenly want to do it again.
- bjs3171, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4wait. WHAT?? you can't climb to the top anymore?? why the hell not?? i loved that as a kid.
- pandorazboxx, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2They said it as not "structurally safe" and were debating whether to close it off before 9/11 happened. Then after 9/11 it pretty much made the decision for them and they don't feel like opening it back up. Now there's just a glass window and you can only look up. (I just went there last year and had the same question)
- AdmiralKarelia, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1If I remember correctly, it's for reasons of personal safety, not public security. I've heard the top is unsafe now, for some reason.
- ferrariman60, on 05/13/2008, -1/+18Man, I didn't know that. That blows that you can't go to the top any more.
- akohut, on 05/13/2008, -15/+7Yeah, what he said, you *****.
- Mikhail101, on 05/13/2008, -5/+13wanna fight you stupid peace of *****
- thepxc, on 05/13/2008, -2/+4Dugg!
- nwoolls, on 05/13/2008, -4/+11Wanna learn the difference between "piece" and "peace" before calling someone else stupid on a public forum?
- Mikhail101, on 05/13/2008, -4/+2lol yea i realized it, Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind has confused me lol
- NotOptium, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1Stop listening to Iron Maiden then you *****.
- Metman, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1STOP LISTENING TO IRON MAIDEN?! YOU HERETIC!
- Mikhail101, on 05/13/2008, -3/+3edit: Piece*
- wrs123, on 05/13/2008, -0/+7dugg for completely random, unwarranted hostility
- Mikhail101, on 05/13/2008, -5/+13wanna fight you stupid peace of *****
- iDe1337, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4I guess called the Statue of Happiness because it's Hillary Clinton holding a cup of coffee and a clipboard with her name on it. I don't know how that qualifies as happiness though..
And yes, it is Hillary Clinton, go in a helicopter and you will see her face and her name on the clipboard.- AshamedAmerican, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3I see it's her face (Christ this thing looks super scary now), but I don't see her name on the board. Where exactly do you see it?
- crownedgriffin, on 05/13/2008, -4/+2Pick the revenge ending. That should explain the irony.
- Jordan117, on 05/13/2008, -0/+24Most of the place names in the game come from taking the original name and changing it to something conceptually related to it. For instance, the in-game version of John F. Kennedy International Airport is named "Francis International Airport" because "Francis" was the middle name of JFK's brother. Also, Manhattan is re-named "Algonquin" because "Manhattan" is a word in the Algonquin language.
Given this pattern, I think they changed the Statue of Liberty to the Statue of Happiness due to the famous phrase in the Declaration of Independence: that all people deserve the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - pilot3033, on 05/13/2008, -2/+3Revenge ending, yes, but you can't go to the top anymore because you were never supposed to go to the top in the first place. To get up there is a narrow, long, spiral staircase that is falling apart. It's a safety issue, not a security one.
- Narvien, on 05/13/2008, -0/+7I'm pretty sure they could fix the staircase if they wanted to...
- CTK14A, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1This is America goddammit, if we can't fix a staircase and a wobbly statue's head, we've got bigger problems than I thought.
- Narvien, on 05/13/2008, -0/+7I'm pretty sure they could fix the staircase if they wanted to...
- CTK14A, on 05/13/2008, -1/+79Because for security reasons you are NOT free to climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty anymore. I think Rockstar is acknowledging this sad state of affairs; happiness, the material version anyway, now trumps liberty.
- UltramegaOK, on 05/13/2008, -14/+3Someone has way too much free time on their hands.
- KevinRWright, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Is that why you're commenting?
- WaxenPith, on 05/13/2008, -7/+3uncanny!
- BugMeNot2, on 05/13/2008, -9/+162The one on the left has better graphics.
- la7crosse11, on 05/13/2008, -9/+1yeah which game is the one with NYC??
- SpectreFire, on 05/13/2008, -1/+19Yeah, but too bad it's only rendered in 640p.
- ricopicouk, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2This is where things are strange with regards to graphics, - stuff can look awesome on 640p, - eg watch tv, look how lifelike stuff is when recorded with a video camera, - and watched on a standard crt tv, - real world is obviously better in graphics than any computer simulation.
The way the computer industry has changed is going to high resultions, - should they try and find a way to make games more like real world, - i understand that this would take ALOT of texture modeling and the like, - but they could run stuff at 640p instead of 1080p.
I suppose objects would have to be created per pixel, instead of a texture overlay- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1because those of who have large TVs can see a huge difference between 640 and 1080, if you have a 30 something inch TV its not important to get 1080
- ricopicouk, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2This is where things are strange with regards to graphics, - stuff can look awesome on 640p, - eg watch tv, look how lifelike stuff is when recorded with a video camera, - and watched on a standard crt tv, - real world is obviously better in graphics than any computer simulation.
- temporaryescape, on 05/13/2008, -6/+1God is my chief designer. ....who ran off with the blunt?
- ivansusanin, on 05/13/2008, -8/+27does anybody remember "the getaway" for the PS2, in which they replicated a big part of london? i thought that was insanely awesome, back in the day
- ferrariman60, on 05/13/2008, -7/+2That game was so ***** hard. Of course, I only played a copy my friend bought used, so I didn't have a manual. Not good for that game.
- thecosmicpope, on 05/13/2008, -5/+4The Getaway should have been better than it was. Cheap GTA knock-off with horrible driving physics. Here's hoping for a GTA London with the RAGE engine...
- fatrandy13, on 05/13/2008, -3/+2the gta london expansion pack was more realistic..
- kwago, on 05/13/2008, -9/+6they forgot the Sbarro's in times square!
- j0nnyDiGITAL, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4Michael Scott is that you?
- mal1964, on 05/13/2008, -12/+2Oh its on now!
- mal1964, on 05/13/2008, -7/+26 down diggs and no up diggs?
Oh its on now!- mal1964, on 05/13/2008, -5/+1I crack myself up!
What your smoking crack again after 7 years clean?
Oh its on now!
- mal1964, on 05/13/2008, -5/+1I crack myself up!
- mal1964, on 05/13/2008, -7/+26 down diggs and no up diggs?
- JEWestbrookJR, on 05/13/2008, -5/+8I was really hoping some one would do this. The first 2 areas are kinda impressive, but once you get to the middle island it's like "woah, this really IS New York"
- AdmiralKarelia, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3I eventually stumbled upon Liberty's "Times Square", and having taken a trip to New York once upon a time, I noticed it as soon as I rounded the corner. I had to stop the car for a minute and just look.
- gothelium, on 05/13/2008, -4/+11God, no wonder the game cost so much to make..
- Kr1ngle0, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5And took so long...
- fatrandy13, on 05/13/2008, -3/+2if anything, it probably was quicker.... they had real, life sized models to base their designs off of. creating everything from scratch would have probably taken longer.
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -2/+3Then why did the release date get pushed back so much?
- fatrandy13, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1for an infinite amount of reasons. why did vista get pushed back? why did mgs4 get pushed back? the list goes on. the fact that it was modeled off of nyc had nothing to do with it imo.
- Kr1ngle0, on 05/13/2008, -3/+3The real question is why didn't Vista get pushed back further?
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -2/+3Then why did the release date get pushed back so much?
- fatrandy13, on 05/13/2008, -3/+2if anything, it probably was quicker.... they had real, life sized models to base their designs off of. creating everything from scratch would have probably taken longer.
- Kr1ngle0, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5And took so long...
- diggester, on 05/13/2008, -11/+5This reminds me the set of HDR pictures of NYC:
http://www.linkinn.com/_New_York_City_in_HDR- la7crosse11, on 05/13/2008, -0/+7I will digg your comment only because when I clicked on one of the pictures it took me to a picture of an extraordinarily good looking lady...
- ChromaVita, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4Check out this guys history. All he does is digg stories and spam links to linkinn.com. Its kind of scary that he has a link for so many stories...
- MisterMajusty, on 05/13/2008, -10/+4Wait so NYC is on the left and Liberty City is on the right? I actually couldn't tell in some of those pictures.
- morphinapg, on 05/13/2008, -3/+1Same here, at first I thought the left was GTA
- bigbill780, on 05/13/2008, -3/+22Im pretty sure if you kill the hookers in NYC you also get your money back... not positive though.
- polygons, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1only happens in Hunts Point in the Bronx.
- danwallace, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5You do.
- megaton, on 05/13/2008, -8/+3There's 30 Rock!
- megaton, on 05/13/2008, -4/+1You guys digging me down apparently don't know what 30 Rockefeller looks like:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/254/454778325_0bf9e ... - pilot3033, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5The entire complex is just called Rockefeller Center.
We're digging you down because you've recognized the thing based on the TV show that takes place there.- megaton, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Right, but the address of the specific building featured in the article is 30 Rockefeller.
- megaton, on 05/13/2008, -4/+1You guys digging me down apparently don't know what 30 Rockefeller looks like:
- ladn3k, on 05/13/2008, -9/+4this isn't the weekly digg-down-the-comments, is it?
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1it is now!
- TinternAbbot, on 05/13/2008, -1/+10You can visit my university in the game. Pretty weird.
- WallaceFreeman, on 05/13/2008, -0/+14im going to do Melissa in your dorm room
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4You mean Michelle? or are you farther than me?
- AdmiralKarelia, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3The fact that you mention Michelle means you're not far enough.
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4You mean Michelle? or are you farther than me?
- Gndoab, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Columbia or NYU?

- pandorazboxx, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Isn't hofstra on long island as well? dammit tell us where you go to school!
- WallaceFreeman, on 05/13/2008, -0/+14im going to do Melissa in your dorm room
- MrSpiffy, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3This is pretty cool!
- Joecrook, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3What? No love for the landmarks outside manhattan, like Queens?
- MrBahaw, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0I know, I was thinking the same thing. Like the LIRR station in Forest Hills.
- ninetimes, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1They have the Citi building in Long Island City.
- KingGorilla, on 05/13/2008, -6/+5What a coincidence!
- clsazekiel, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I know, right! It's really amazing how all big cities look alike.
- GasPoweredGnome, on 05/13/2008, -1/+8I used to live in Hoboken, NJ. The Bus/Train terminal is in the game and it was instantly recognizable. Don't have a picture for comparison, unfortunately.
- el84, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I know what you're talking about but where is this in the game? What island? The first?
- pandorazboxx, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Alderney

- xxA7XxaDdiCtxx, on 05/13/2008, -1/+9I took this game for granted, Rockstar really put a great amount of detail in this game and made it actually look like new york city and not just a crappy generic city with some famous NYC landmarks like most other games. Well done
- Consh, on 05/13/2008, -12/+3You can tap me for ten dollars if there's a day where GTA IV, praising Barack Obama or criticizing John McCain/George Bush/Hillary Clinton is not the subject of a front page Digg this week.
Especially GTA IV.- AppleGeorge, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5I'd just just digg you down for complaining.
- Consh, on 05/13/2008, -6/+0I live for negative diggs. Duh.
- Thumper13, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3Yeah, cause none of those things are in the news or anything.
Are you alive? Why do you come to this site? To complain about what people have dugg?
Try just ignoring the stories you don't like. Magic.
- AppleGeorge, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5I'd just just digg you down for complaining.
- geoff1210, on 05/13/2008, -8/+3These comments blow.
- Arkz, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2as long as they dont suck
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1and you are helping make them that way
- kagayaki1, on 05/13/2008, -2/+30But is there an Apple Store glass cube?
- uahgekido, on 05/13/2008, -0/+13Now that you mention it, it would have been rad if they included that, especially since they put the time into the Apple parody website ("Fruit") on the in-game internet.
- directrix13, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Did you see the Linux parody Eunux.net?
- ChromaVita, on 05/13/2008, -0/+19It would be so much fun to drive through that thing...
- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -3/+2I know, I was kinda hoping they would put that in there. Although, they rag on Apple a little too much for my liking. I heard a pedestrian say, "My iFruit laptop totally crashes." iFruit is pretty much like saying Apple is gay. Of course nothing is sacred in Liberty City.
- uahgekido, on 05/13/2008, -0/+13Now that you mention it, it would have been rad if they included that, especially since they put the time into the Apple parody website ("Fruit") on the in-game internet.
- snareguy17, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3Badassery at it's finest.
- Gndoab, on 05/13/2008, -7/+4too many pictures of tourist crap, not enough of what makes NYC awesome.
- Tarsmus, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2I agree, there were way to many living people in the GTA shots.
- icepick314, on 05/13/2008, -0/+7wish there was downloadable contents to update the buildings and signs within the game to match current trends going on in New York...
that would make GTA IV playable for YEARS...- SwitchXFactor, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I dunno... changing adverts wouldn't really inspire me to want to play GTA any more then I would as if they didn't change. Although! I do like the concept in something like an MMO style NYC simulation or something? I don't play MMOs, but the concept is really cool.
- elliott9, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1replace "with" with "i hope", the game just came out! be patient
- theotheragentm, on 05/13/2008, -2/+9Except no one drives in NYC. You can only steal cabs there.
- bxblox, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10There should be a find parking game mode.
- orlyfactor, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5No one drives? Yeah...the streets are ALWAYS empty...
- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Have you actually been to New York? I just looked at a random picture from my trip to New York and there were 7 cars parked on the side of the road. And that's just one random photo, so I disagree.
- AdmiralKarelia, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1The roads are packed, yes, but half to two-thirds of the vehicles on the road are taxis.
- anotherjeff, on 05/13/2008, -1/+23still doesnt make up for the lack of parachutes in this game. sky scrapers?! statue of happiness?! NO PARACHUTES?!
- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3Yeah, because New Yorker's are always parachuting off buildings, right? Lame.
- gh0st3000, on 05/14/2008, -1/+1it's called base jumping, although i believe it's illegal to do it IRL in the city which is probably why no one does it. Kind of hard to avoid the cops when you have to land eventually.
- BearinG, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Who cares.. not every New Yorker steals multiple cars in a day, calls 911, kill the cops when they arrive, steal their cruiser, run over 10 pedestrians while picking up the only hooker that survived the accident.. yet its still in the game.
I would've liked parachutes too... and betting on horse races, get some tattoos, hair cut, dance club with the g/f.. Its all pretty useless, but still things that I could waste time on in GTA:SA- Nappuccino, on 05/18/2008, -0/+0Are you sure? Because that sums up my New York experience quite nicely.
- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -1/+3Yeah, because New Yorker's are always parachuting off buildings, right? Lame.
- endlessoul, on 05/13/2008, -0/+8Did anyone else say that headline in an Eastern European accent a la Niko Bellic?
I did.- SwitchXFactor, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2A leetle.
(lol penny arcade)
- SwitchXFactor, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2A leetle.
- teambosun, on 05/13/2008, -17/+5Excellent platform for terrorists to plan out, simulate and practice attacks and escape routes.
- offbasis, on 05/13/2008, -0/+12Or they could just use Google's street view and save $60. But you're right they must have a PS3 setup in their camps.
- Metman, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1There was some BS article about terrorists buying PS2's to use for missile launch controls...
- BearinG, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1I think that was just an article saying that the PS2 was powerful enough that it could be used to launch a missile.
- Metman, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1There was some BS article about terrorists buying PS2's to use for missile launch controls...
- UnstableMind, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1LOL, God, I sure hope you meant to put a sarcasm tag. Otherwise, you've just re-affirmed my fears of the general population's critical thinking skills. I swear, I'm gonna see on Faux News that if you buy Grand Theft Auto, you are supporting the terrorists. LOL

- Mist0r_Wiggles, on 05/13/2008, -4/+9Wow, games has gone a long way in terms of graphics.
I can't wait till my kids is my age right now and play the newest GTA. That will probably be photo realistic.- orlyfactor, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3I think they will have bigger things to worry about than grpahics.
- RobotLeAwesome, on 05/13/2008, -0/+9Yeah, the giant crab invasion is imminent.
- Xproject01, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4"Cra-a-ab people, cra-a-ab people, taste like crab, talk like people."
- RobotLeAwesome, on 05/13/2008, -0/+9Yeah, the giant crab invasion is imminent.
- dbsmoker, on 05/13/2008, -4/+4I just hope your kids get a decent education. I don't normally pick on people for their grammer, but wow.
- AtlantaFalcon, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4*grammar
- Mist0r_Wiggles, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1I don't normally pick on people for their spelling, but wow.

- willynilly, on 05/13/2008, -23/+4WTF is "Liberty City"?
Buried for ***** description and purposeful obscurity.- itsthebrod, on 05/13/2008, -0/+13Is this your first day on the internet or something?
- Chassit, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4Buried for acting as if you know something when in reality you are more out of touch than Hillary Clinton.
- BearinG, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Even my girlfriend knows what Liberty City is..
- mandrakeRaptor, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1We've come a long way from eating pills and running from ghosts.

I have uncontrollable schizophrenia, though.
