Liberty City in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], as seen in the first trailer and the [[GameInformer]] magazine preview, has been remodeled to look much more like New York City compared to its Grand Theft Auto III renditions. Landmarks such as the [[Statue of Happiness]] (Statue of Liberty), Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, and the Getalife (Metlife) Building are present, as well as a Times Square lookalike that features advertisements for the [[Liberty Tree]]. A rollercoaster called the "Screamer" appears to be based off the The Cyclone of Coney Island. | Liberty City in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], as seen in the first trailer and the [[GameInformer]] magazine preview, has been remodeled to look much more like New York City compared to its Grand Theft Auto III renditions.

''"It's not the full city, it's an approximation thereof. We make a city that feels like the real thing, but is perfectly tuned for gameplay in the broadest sense. The world is not designed to be a video game. We are trying to make a video game that feels like the world, but still plays like a video game. The design of the city and the missions that unfold within it are designed hand-in-hand and complement each other perfectly. Everything in this world is here for a reason, where it is directly tied to gameplay or simply there to create atmosphere."'' | ''"It's not the full city, it's an approximation thereof.
