This is not just an upgrade (like [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA3]]>[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|LCS]], or [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|VC]]>[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|VCS]]), it is a totally new city. It is certainly based on the same thing (New York City) and undoubtedly contains a lot of references to the past, but I am struggling to justify saying it is merely "different". That makes me think of perhaps a new area to the city and new buildings etc. What we actually have is a totally different map, made from scratch, new district names ([[Algonquin]] etc) and what appears to be no physical connection to the old Liberty City.

''"[New York City] is an environment we felt had never been done to the level we were envisioning it in a video game. From looking at all of the locations, this was the one that really stood out to us, and really had that impact. It has all of these iconic things that you couldn't put into a game before."'' | ''"[New York City] is an environment we felt had never been done to the level we were envisioning it in a video game.

Those two quotes from [[Dan Houser]] talk about making a new city from scratch. There is nothing to suggest that GTA IV is simply an upgraded Liberty City - all the areas of the city are totally new and different, there's the new layout, new buildings, different bridges, even a different scale of the city. If it were [[Portland Island]], [[Staunton Island]] and [[Shoreside Vale]], then yes it would be the same city. But Broker, Algonquin, Dukes, Bohan and Alderney is nothing to do with the GTA III Liberty City.

== Whats the problem == | |||
I really don't see why this page has to be protected, me and Chris already got over this situation. [[User:George|George]] 01:40, 21 June 2007 (BST) | |||
:I'm setting an example. Stop complaining :) [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 01:44, 21 June 2007 (BST) | |||
I'm not complaining, i was just wondering. Alright [[User:George|George]] 02:51, 21 June 2007 (BST) | |||
What kind of example [[User:George|George]] 08:32, 21 June 2007 (BST) | |||

==Featured Content== | |||
Having looked at this article, I do not believe it should be a featured article. There are better articles on here than this one. The descriptions for each of the cities are inadequate and for the Liberty City entry, for example, little is mentioned about the actual renditions of the city. It's just a broad description covering three renditions. The mentioned locations needs expanding also. I also believe that references should be added, at the very least for the mentioned locations section. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 11:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
:Any opinions? [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 20:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC) | |||
::Agreed. [[User:MoNK|MoNK]] 09:36, 26 September 2008 (UTC) | |||
==LCinVC== | |||
In the Liberty City section, it says that Liberty City is shown in Vice City, it could very well be, as I played VC a LONG time ago, but I just wanted to be sure. [[User:Ess-Tee|Ess-Tee]] 10:01, 27 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I'd also like to question the relevance of plot references in the city descriptions. I can semi-understand the Caligula's casino heist being mentioned, as it's kind of relevant, I guess. But the part about a shootout under the Mulholland Intersection and whatnot included in the section, Los Santos, are more or less irrelevant. Also, I just wanted to know why the **** there were so many capitalized words, for no particular reason, and would like to remind people NOT to capitalize after a comma. [[User:Ess-Tee|Ess-Tee]] 10:11, 27 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
::Liberty City is seen only once at the start of a new game in Vice City. You can check out videos on it. I'm surprised with the amount of revisions and no one caught those grammatical errors. It would be good if this article is cleaned up.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 18:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::Ok thanks for that man. I believe somebody may have edited the capitals and grammatical errors in there by accident, believing they were proper, oh well. I cleaned it up a little bit, I'm really pressed for time lately though. [[User:Ess-Tee|Ess-Tee]] 08:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Cottonmouth== | |||
Cottonmouth should also be a location in the GTA world as it is the setting of Manhunt 2. [[User:Carlosvc92|Carlosvc92]] 03:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Which makes it totally irrelevant?[[User:Ess-Tee|Ess-Tee]] 16:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
:It is a part of the GTA world, but this city wasn't mentioned so far in the GTA Series, however, San Fierro, San Andreas, Carcer City and Vice City were mentioned in Manhunt 2.--[[User:Mackomontana|Mackomontana]] 21:26, December 27, 2009 (UTC) | |||
It should be given a brief mention at the bottom of the page, as it does refrence the GTA games, even if the GTA games havn't yet mentioned it.--[[User:Tornmuscle|Tornmuscle]] 22:14, December 27, 2009 (UTC) | |||
== San Durango == | |||
So, what is YOUR take on why RockStar didn't include a city directly based on [[Wikipedia:San Diego|San Diego]]? If it is bigger than San Francisco, why didn't they deem San Diego important enough to model a GTA city after it? --[[User:ENG|ENG]] 20:27, 25 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
* They considered San Francisco more culturally distinctive and internationally recognisable? Like it matters anyway. If population was so important, they could just as easily have relocated a Mexico City equivalent to Baja California and made it the southernmost location -- more people than New York, there. --[[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 02:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
* I would imagine Los Santos has enough of a Latino population to make a San Diego-based city redundant. [[User:Ghost Leader|Ghost Leader]] 02:03, March 14, 2010 (UTC) | |||
