I do realize that a lot of people have been making texture overhauls for Liberty City in GTA IV, but I personally just want a whole new map that is as realistic as possible to NYC. If this were to be created, it will take a lot of time and effort since its a whole new map with all new buildings and textures. My idea would to make Manhattan way more dense and have more skyscrapers, but to put them in the correct place. Manhattan would also feature the new World Trade Center. There will be a new island called Staten Island. (Something Liberty City is missing) Make Jersey bigger and Queens bigger. Since I am not to experienced with modelling, I would need a team of people to help make this, including scripters, modelers, etc.
This guy on the forums, Six Paths of Pain was going to carry this out, but while making it his computer got a virus and he lost all the files

That's why you should backup!
Anyway, to get an idea of what I want, here was his topic from a few years ago:

Due to the limitations of GTA IV map boundary, I currently only plan to recreate Manhattan. I know this is a let down for those that wanted the whole map to be re-done, but it just isn't possible. Once GTA V comes out, perhaps I'll make NYC for that so we have more room to make a map
