[[Rockstar Games|Rockstar]] says that "players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a ~~[[Money|~~price]]." According to Rockstar's ~~Official Website~~, "The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of ~~[[Weapons|~~guns]], glitz, and grime." Sam Houser, the founder of [[Rockstar Games]], said before its release "[[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] is the most vibrant game world we've created yet. The episodic structure has allowed us to interweave stories, gameplay and atmosphere in a whole new way. The team at Rockstar North have yet again surpassed themselves, and made something that is both epic and very innovative. This episode's focus on high-end night life contrasts with the biker gangs portrayed in The Lost and Damned, whilst giving us a lot of new gameplay possibilities."
