There was a Statuee of Liberty, and the empire state building. I think its new york. Which is sucky coz that means, no countryside or anything. I am slighlty disapointed. Some of the textures looked dodgy, but overall the gfx impressed me.

It looks more like New York than Liberty City to me. Maybe they are using a real location?

Still I'm impressed, the game looks nice.

it clearly reads 'liberty city' on the platypus freighter and 'liberty' all over the city.  their style is satire - they'd never do a real city.

It doesnt look like Liberty City to me. It is not going to be the same setting. The Statue of Liberty is there, Empire State Bulding, Times Square. It could be just a teaser for the downtown area for Liberty City (aka New York)

Ok iv not seen to many Eastern Europeans before so that would be a mistake on my part.

 As for the One City part chances are this will be in more than one city and it is possible he could head to Europe at some point depending on how he ended up in LC in the first place, But I would definatly say there will be more than 1 city.

He Defiantly looks and sounds Russian. Maybe it will be based on the Russian Mafia? Other than that, the city looks great.

The main character sounds eastern european, but he looks like a bum. I hope his appareance is customizable because he's to thin, the beard has to go, the hair is boring, and the cloth is just "normal". I hope you can bulk up like in San Andreas and also give your character differents looks.

Just saw it.. awsome.. the graphics look on par with Allen Wake .. beautiful, not so sure about the protagonist but i'm sure they'll weave an awesome story... and those that are complaining about the setting and size crack me up.. you never know it could be the entire state which has plenty of country side .. hell maybe even all of New England. ... just cause they showed some sweet shots of the city and suburbs doesn't mean that's the entire map.

The funny thing is that he is going to New York City to get away from violence and corruption. Is Rockstar trying to go toward a more psychological thriller type game with the haunted protagonist trying to forget his past? And then it catches up with him? I got you figured out, Rockstar North.

http://www.myrecollection.com/matusp/images/hudterm.jpg

 

It is Liberty City, look at the platypus, the ship, what does it read underneath? .. Liberty City. The dock as well looks identical to the one in GTA 3. The ferry you can see a part of it, and it says Liberty on it. Right before the IV comes upstop the trailer and look ath the shore line, looks a lot like "stauton" (idk how to spell it). There is also a clue with the statue he is standing in front of.

 

Rockstar has a tendency to make enviorments look a lot like their real life counter-parts. San Andreas had the same features as San Fransisco, and Vegas. Regardless what anyone says this is Liberty City.

 

Can't wait til Ocbober.

 

 

And I'm happy that it's a Russian guy..... because I'm Russian/Ukranian.

Why do the some people keep say its set in New York, when clearly everything is baised around LIBERTY CITY.  Even the boat had Liberty City on the back of it.

I just saw the trailer... The guy is Russian, the graphics can be described as a small step up from Oblivion. Definitely better than Crackdown but not better than Gears at all. Other than that, the trailer was pretty much lame. It showed cars driving and people walking, and this guy talking about selling people.SuperSambo

 

are u an idiot?   this and gears arent even close to on the same page.  gears looks so good becuase you follow a set path.  This game looks a little under gears graphics and its an entire city you can explore.  Go back to school or finish it.

There is one thing that contradicts everything I said. Even if it is Liberty City, it is not the same city as in GTA 3. There are two bridges that run parallel to each other, which was not in the original. As well as the bridges.

 

Whatever, I'm not worried about it, looking forward to it.

I have to admit, I'm disappointed with the setting/location Rockstar has chosen for GTA4.   There's way too many games that are loosely based or spot on of NYC.    We already have Driver: Parallel Lines which is the closest representation of NYC and I really doubt GTA4 will even come close to DriverL.   We also have Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Saints Row and True Crime: Streets of New York and I'm pretty sure were missing a few others as well.

I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm tired of the "New York" setting.   I wouldn't mind even if it took place in another American city.   It would even be sweeter if took place in Toronto (my home town) .   GTA4 couldv'e took place anywhere in Europe or Asia etc.   Heck, I even think Australia would be a cool place.

I will buy this game and I think I will be bored with the "New York" setting because it has been done too many times and it's like beating a dead horse.

Its not Liberty City because I live in NYC and they have the Statue Of Liberty, Empire State Building , Manhattan Bridge , Brooklyn Bridge, they even have Broadway. How many more NYC structures do you need for it to be NYC? Liberty City on the boat might just be something to remind the character of something, or remind fans of the first GTA on last gen systems. Also the Statue of Liberty is on LIBERTY Island, so maybe the ship just goes there.

Sure didnt look like it to me. I mean NYC is Manhattan. I don't remember seeing something representing Broadway. Liberty City might have been representing one of the boroughs of NY, but it sure as heck wasn't representing NYC.

FFS it's NOT nyc.  it's BASED on nyc, obviously, but all gta cities are satirical, alternate versions of real cities.

this is like saying "zomg, that's the luxor in las venturas.  it's vegas!"
