HolyHondaEk4 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 On the front page of yahoo.com they have a story on gta4. Yahoo GTA4 When you click in there it has an option where you can compare screenshots with the real life counterparts. A couple of the screens I have never seen!! So correct me if I am wrong but to me these are new! That bridge is in my hometown!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again, I just saw these on Yahoo and to me they are new. If not then Mods please lock this.

HolyHondaEk4 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 na i don't think the first one is fake...just old...the cars looked like they were just models or place holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCM Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I have never seen them before... That rollercoaster one is cool. I remember talking about a 'theme park' been in Grand Theft Auto a few weeks back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 First one isn't fake, though I f*cking love the Statue Of Happiness picture. I can see it has a big grin on it's face and is actually holding a can of Sprunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceedot Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The whole thing looks fake, but they are new... They are either new, or fake. Considering they have the Statue of Happyness holding a beer car or whatever, then I guess they could most likely be real. It also has the ship from Trailer 3.

GTA4FANATIC Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Nice find but I also think the first one is fake because if this is a new screen shot it wouldnt still have place holder taxi cabs as we've allready seen the taxi's that will be in the game.

Bronx_Brohan Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I hope they make the statue bigger and make a mission where youre fighting with someone at the top of her crown.idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyHondaEk4 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 sorry for the stretch but I just said "Hoooooly sh**" When I saw the Passaic river bridge. That bridge is in my backyard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Antonio Cipriani Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 First one is fake I dont' think it's fake. I think it's just one of the alpha screenshots (like the ones released in April/May) that was exclusive to Yahoo Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Shake Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Apparently these are the real deal. I too thought the first was fake: http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/grand-t...diary/1174295/3 TC718 / <629 / CF5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyHondaEk4 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Love how the river water is all murky and muddy lol lol they got it right though. In person that water is filled with chemicals from the plants that are next to it. It's a highly industrial area. Last year an Ambulance fell into the water as the drawbridge was going up. They obviously died...and the police did respond fast...but the police divers never found their bodies because its so dark and murky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illspirit Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Good find HolyHonda. The article said it was posted on the 4th, but nobody else has seen it yet. Weird. Anyhow, I think that bridge is part of the Triborough Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 They don't look like they have the same atmosphere as shown in trailers and screenshots. Maybe they are renders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fakey_91 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeh, looks like the first one is a place holder - but that doesn't make it fake. I think that they are of older build, but still look fantastic!! I think it's worth posting up comparisons in a new thread!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakey_91 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) I know a thread was made where it shows these "new" pictures - but it didn't include the comparisons between its real life counterparts!! If the mods think this thread is unesessary or should be moved - go right ahead! EDIT: Yep, topics merged!! I think this screen of GTA IV is really old - as it is still using the place holder taxis........although the cop cars are already new. Also notice the average graphics. Really shows how far R* has advanced. This comparison is quite bad - and it would be pretty hard to recreate Times Square to look similar. R* did a pretty good job - although it doesn't seem alive. But, this image is waaaaay old, so ir probably should be completely ignored!! I really like this shot. The water is very well made along with the basic structure of the actual bridge. Notice the moody colour the lake has - different colour to what we have seen of the water before. Is probably another old image, as the passing boat doesn't have any water effects or ripples. Another great shot. Notice the road to the left in the GTA IV shot is where that blue car was driving in Trailer 1. In real life, it appears to be a car park. Quite a close model to the real life attraction. PART 2 COMING NEXT POST Edited December 7, 2007 by Fakey_91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakey_91 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Probably the greatest picture displaying of how close GTA IV is close to real life. It is baically an exact copy, going down even to the fence!! Also notice the placement of trees in the correct places. As seen in the real life pic - there is a turn to the right. From Trailer 1, that road is also seen - so that part of the city is basically identical. I would love to live in one of those apartments - and see my house in a game.......the way it looks in real life!!! WOW, another great shot!! Notice the Statue Of Liberty is like 92% the same as the one in real life. More great water effects, although the sky looks a bit odd. Trees in front of the statue, where as in real life, it is just a park. By the looks of it, the statue is holding a Sprunk can and has a massive grin on the face... From all of this, we can see how close "Liberty City" is actually close to New York. Lucky gamers in New York, might find their house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 sorry for the stretch but I just said "Hoooooly sh**" When I saw the Passaic river bridge. That bridge is in my backyard! Perhaps I'll get a chance to rob your home then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallaN Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The whole thing looks fake, but they are new...They are either new, or fake. Considering they have the Statue of Happyness holding a beer car or whatever, then I guess they could most likely be real. It also has the ship from Trailer 3. I think the first one shows an earlier build of Times Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4miL Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 wow guys. Nice article and the Screenshots are beautiful, i love it ;> Rockstar made a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbine23 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I like the time square screenshot but i hope its an early build because there's not enough lights and billboards and there's nobody walking on the streets. Even at night time square is extremely crowded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGanteks Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) Great comparisions there ALSO f*ckING HELL!
