leney Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 yeh i saw that, but i thought i remember them jus guessing and placing bridges, there was like a debate on if 'brooklyn' bridge (mind jus gone blank)shud b more south etc so they kinda guessed i think. id like to see a fair few bridges, bcoz i hated it in gta3 where there was jus the one bridge between islands. you would have to drive ages to cross the bridge if you was on the north or south of the island.(good they placed them in the middle i guess otherwise cud have been twice as bad) id jus like to see a few bridges between islands and wondered if ne1 knew from screenshots or living in new york how many there mite b??

Seddo Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'd guess something about 3 or 4 bridges would be enough looking at the map. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310605-bridges-and-how-many/#findComment-1057475100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimumPx Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well, we've got 4 confirmed so far. Brooklyn Bridge Manhattan Bridge Triborough Bridge-1 Triborough Bridge-2 If I had to guess I'd say there would be at least 3 more bridges. The 3rd span for the Triborough Bridge, a version of the George Washington Bridge, and the Dukes Bay Bridge referred to in one of the recent previews. There will probably also be 2 or 3 tunnels in the city, one at the lower tip of Algonquin going to Broker (Brooklyn Battery Tunnel), and 1 or 2 between Algonquin and Alderney (Holland Tunnel & Lincoln Tunnel) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310605-bridges-and-how-many/#findComment-1057475641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimumPx Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 No, it's the game's version of the Harlem River Lift Bridge.

donsalvatore Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) This may help . But I'd like to see all of the bridges in New York or it just wouldn't be the same Edit: @mmmfloorpie: No, this is the real-life Harlem Lift Bridge.

Carbine23 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Being from NY, and observing the screenshots in the trailers. I'd say about 5 - 6 bridges will make it into the game. Broker Bridge Algonquin Bridge Triboro Bridge George Washington Bridge Dukes Bay Bridge (mentioned in Kikizo but don't know what bridge its based off of) and that bridge shown in the screenshot a few posts behind me. I hope they light up bright so that if your at the top of an Algonquin Skyscraper like the Empire State Building at night, you'll see all the bridges in the entire city lit up.

Jonny04 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 They should include the famous BMW bridges, the Triborough. As for tunnels they should include the Lincoln( ieMidtown), Holland tunnels going to New Jersey (Alderney) should definetly be included. Brooklyn battery too. George Washington would be nice too If you were pushing it depending on the geography of LC you may see a version of Henry hudon bridge, and even Bronx Whitestone bridge. From the images i have seen THE BM of the BMW bridges are confimed, ie Brooklyn and Manhattan are in, anyone seen the Williamsburg br, coz idont recall?? The Harlem lift is in, so from this I'm assuming the Triborough is in full appearance. So i count about 5 confimed, and the tunnels will no question be in it, they are such a huge part of the road network into Manhattan and the other boroughs.

Where have you seen the GWB? Well they have to have some kind of bridge connecting Algonquin to Alderney. Plus i'm sure they'll be at least 2 or 3 underground tunnels.

leney Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 wow cool thanks for all the info guys, ive never been to NY so nt really aware of how many links from island to island there are i didn even realise there were underground links, shows how silly i am. Dont suppose there is anyone who kinda has a clue bout this (lives or know NY) cud draw on the map where they think these bridges n undergrounds will be? like two diff colours, say black for bridge, grey for underground? dw if not jus thought wud be a good idea, to get a better sense of the map?
