Mister Zero Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've been wondering for a while, what's the actual city/district called? I know it's the ghost town part, but is it still an area of Liberty City, and if so, does it have a name?

Greene Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 It doesn't officially have a name. It's not really important whatsover. It was just used for the opening scene. Nothing special about it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268296-ghost-town/#findComment-4072016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Zero Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Would it be correct to call it Carcer City? I read on Wikipedia that it's sometimes known as that. I'm just wondering as I'm thinking of writing a GTA Fiction involving that city in particular.

saintdave Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 No Carcer City is a completly different city, mentioned both on GTA 3 radio and used as a setting for Manhunt. I'd say the bank isn’t a part of Liberty just because its not part of the city itself, nor is it another district either. Its only use was for the opening scene.

All-Blacks Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 But maybe it could actually be part of Carcer City without R* announcing so? If it was part of Liberty City, it would of made much more sense to add it in the actual city itself .

Greene Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 If it was Carcer City? Why would Claude be imprisoned in Liberty City? It's use is for the opening scene and nothing else.

Pat Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Here's proof it isn't Carcer City: The bank is called "Liberty City Bank". Why name it Liberty City Bank if it's in Carcer City? Claude was imprisoned in Liberty City. Why wouldn't he be imprisoned in Carcer City? Carcer city still exists, it's just not behind the SSV mountains. Supposedly it's based on Detroit.

gamerzworld Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 but if it was just used to film the opening scene why put other streets and bulildings in ????????? I think the answer to your question is, they where planning to do more with it but never got the time to do it or the story line changed and they no longer needed the extra parts. Instead of removing the parts and taking the risk of getting bugs, they just left the parts there. Same goes for Portland in San Andreas, it has most of the island in there but it never got finished. So one can assume that Rockstar might have been planning more for Portland in San Andreas.

Pat Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 That, or they could've just added the extra parts to block your view from blue hell/the back of the SSV mountains. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268296-ghost-town/#findComment-4073867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrimfaxi Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The bank is called "Liberty City Bank". Why name it Liberty City Bank if it's in Carcer City? Claude was imprisoned in Liberty City. Why wouldn't he be imprisoned in Carcer City? Maybe theres a Liberty City Bank in Carcer City, the same reason that theres a Bank of Montreal here in Winnipeg. If you go around Liberty City, in Portland and Staunton Isle (not sure about Shoreside Vale, though), you'll see places called "Liberty City Bank." Maybe "Liberty City Bank" is just a branch name or something? And maybe he was imprisoned in Liberty City instead of Carcer City because it was possible Liberty City's Police Department was able to answer the call faster than Carcer's PD. I don't think Carcer had a good anything if its supposed to be based on Detroit, so maybe they got aid from the LCPD during that point in time? Its possible.

Mr. Someguy Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) I think its the chinatown bank, just remade with an allyway. Maybe they didn't use the real one bacause traffic interupted the scene...

XxDarkxPsychicxX Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The place isn't given a title (other than "Ghost Town") and it's not on the map of Liberty City either. The only use for it, like saintdave said, was in the intro. There's a lot of interesting things in GTA3, like Love's Disappearance and the blocked tunnel on Shoreside Vale (which claims to lead "upstate" in LCS).

unopesci Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I always thought it was just further inland on SSV. Behind the tunnels. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268296-ghost-town/#findComment-4090652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartleby Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I always thought it was just further inland on SSV. Behind the tunnels. It is. If you haven't noticed, you can actually see where the tunnel ends just beyond the Ghost Town if you look past the floating town's road onto the hills. But I think that what they're trying to say is that the tunnel leads upstate for the purpose and practicality of the GTA universe. Ghost Town isn't really a "part" of Liberty City anyway. It's just a studio for the opening cutscene of the game. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268296-ghost-town/#findComment-4090657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Word* Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I always presumed it was the bank in Chinatown. but then again, it does have an alleyway in the cutscene and not in the chinatown bank. but they both look really similar.

TruXter Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 cross the bridge from first island to second island. go to first street take a left... go to first street take another left , as you get near the over pass drive up the steps of that building. is tha the bank you are talking about?

Zeekard Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 If this bank was exist, I think the first place it would be, is Bellevile Park... the first buildings on the street where's Callahan Bridge. When you're going from Portland by the Callahan Bridge and at the beggining of Staunton Island, some building at the left side. I mean the building that looks like an ancient Rome design. Design would be right, but it doesn't contain the backyards like in the intro, in which Claude was shot. Thinking about this backyards, you maybe right, maybe it would be Chinatown Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268296-ghost-town/#findComment-4150100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
