If you have a look at the GTA 3/ LCS version of the map of Liberty City and the GTA 4 map, there is still a hint of it. If you reverse the GTA 3/LCS map, then you have two islands joined on the right (like Dukes/Broker and Bohan) with the Airport, one in the middle (Algonquin), and one on the left (Alderny ). This reversal also puts the supposed "run down Leone mansion" in its rightful place. | If you have a look at the GTA 3/ LCS version of the map of Liberty City and the GTA 4 map, there is still a hint of it.

With this being the opposite of GTA3 layout, it leads the way into other contrasts such as life-like-ness of characters, the tone of the game, quality of graphics and physics of movement. | With this being the opposite of GTA3 layout, it leads the way into other contrasts such as life-like-ness of characters, the tone of the game, quality of graphics and physics of movement. | ||
So what do you think? Is GTA 4 a '''complete''' redo of the GTA 3 map. Or have R* went for a more adaptive approach. | So what do you think? Is GTA 4 a '''complete''' redo of the GTA 3 map.

:I agree with the reversal part ONLY, I don't think it was meant to be like that, possibly just coincidence. It's a very good theory though, and you should look into it more, for instance, checking out relative similar locations/landmarks? Nice find man.

:::Just to add that The GTA IV rendition is geographically very similar to New York City (much more similar than the GTA III rendition). So I don't think that it was their initial plan, but once they had the basic map they might have made changes to make it fit better (like the mansion thing, and the fact that not every part of the outline of the map is identical to NYC so they may have changed some of that to make it look more like the flipped GTA III rendition.

:I don't think they consciously did it, more than likely just a coincidence, but then again Rockstar is famous for being smart asses and thinking things like this through. [[User:Ess-Tee|Ess-Tee]] 04:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)<br /> | |||
I get where you're coming from but Shoreside Vale is more based on Jersey than the East Islands, which Portland is based on.[[User:Gerry Spring|Gerry Spring]] 13:24, March 5, 2010 (UTC) | |||
