Grand Theft Auto 4's Liberty City -- a Side-By-Side Comparison With NYC

by Terrence O'Brien on May 14, 2008 at 04:01 PM



We all know that the setting for GTA IV, Liberty City, is supposed to be New York. But unless you've spent most of your time in the game staring at the scenery instead of wreaking havoc, you may not have noticed how spot on of a recreation Liberty City is. Thankfully, Flickr user Matthew Johnston has cobbled together a set of side-by-side comparisons showing off certain structures and locations in Liberty City that bare a striking resemblance to certain real world structures.

Johnston's gallery focuses primarily on Liberty City's version of Manhattan, but there are plenty of real life structures and locations in the outer buroughs too. In the meantime check out some of the choicest comparison shots below. [Source: Matthew Johnston's Flikr, Via: Geekologie]
