Alderney City

 

 

So, considering Staten Island wasn't put in the game I'm going to assume they didn't recreate Bayonne which means Alderney City probably = Jersey City

 

 

Jersey City isn't small, and even though its a "borough" (area) contained in the game I could only imagine how big it actually is...

 

So, have you been assuming this all along or has Alderney just been generically labeled Jersey without regard to which part of Jersey it could be?

In a nutshell, yes.

 

Since the first set of previews came out last year.

I never saw an actual sign to alderney city however, but I could be unique in that I haven't digested every single screenshot or video.

[DarkPassenger]

Hmm.

 

Everyone knows Alderney is Jersey. And I'll bet it's still a hell hole!

I have seen it a couple times actually one in History of Liberty screens and another in one of the HUD shots

[Leo Colt]

Yep it's been known awhile now, especially after the HUD shot with the sign. Whether Alderney is a state with an "Alderney City" or entirely a city remains to be seen though (I personally think it's the latter and just called Alderney for short).

Doesn't trailer 1 show the Staten Island Ferry terminal?

[Jops]

Doesn't trailer 1 show the Staten Island Ferry terminal?

probably because its a landmark, but its been confirmed that Staten Island is not in the game (which means no bayonne bridge )

That sucks. Who the hell wants to run around in Jersey?

[OptimumPx]

The city is a combo of Jersey City and Newark that was named Alderney City in the game.

 

It contains both Newark and Jersey City landmarks:

Exchange Place Center

 

National Newark Building

 

And as for the city's name:

cool thanks for the comparison pics

[SGTDillon]

your link is seriously messed up, its the cover page of Look magazine, weird

[Le_Joker]

And as for the city's name:

... Alderney City is a borough in Alderney. As is Leftwood.

 

So all of Alderney is not called "Alderney City."

I said 'the city' not all of Alderney. The southern part of Alderney is urban...the middle to northern part is most likely suburban, and the very northern part is marshland.

I agree,

 

Alderney City is probably going to be pretty small in comparison to Jersey City, probably just a ruddy inner city+waterfront look

if you look at that screen you can see that the bridge that those cars are on is the Pulaski skyway. Also you can see the skyway from other screens. I think that industrial/port section down there is probably a take on the Elizabeth sea ports. They did add the Lincoln tunnel (Booth Tunnel in the game) so maybe we can see an extension out to Union City as well? Either way Im glad they got jersey city, my hometown in the mix. Hopefully we'll see the Newport Mall

[Gog]

We'll be able to re-create the opening to the Sopranos!

You're lucky because they probably cut out where I was from (bayonne), it would have been fun to run around

 

Its gonna be cool as hell to book up and down the hudson though

lol it will be a race to see who creates a re-make first

 

Are you sure that was the pulaski?

Im From Jersey..Cant Wait To See How Detailed they made it

 

alderny=jersey

alderny city=jersey city

 

simple.

But that technically makes no sense because a borough can not have a city inside of it because a borough is part of a city.

 

New Jersey is a state but Alderney is based off of something in New Jersey so I'd guess that the borough of Alderney which looked like the biggest borough will probably have a mixture of cities in New Jersey such as Jersey City, Newark, Camden and hopefully Atlantic City but instead they'll just be represented as areas in Alderney.

[DTre]

I'd have to go on a limb and say it's Newark

I'm pretty much positive that there's no marshland in Alderney. Have you seen the leaked map, by chance? I can't post it and I'm too lazy to find a fan-drawn remake of it, but it looks pretty much paved over to me. There might be a small amount of it, but it would be very small.

 

Also, the very south chunk of Alderney is the Acter Industrial Area, which is mostly all factories and refineries and what-not.

 

'Alderney City' is south of Leftwood, in the middle of Alderney.

 

... This is my understanding of everything, unless I somehow missed an announcement somewhere.

[HolyHondaEk4]

I think there is gonna be some marshlands. If any of you drive up 295/turnpike heading towards the GW bridge or Ridgefield you will see lots of marshes and water/lakes. Seeing that they would most likely add the GW bridge that goes into the Bronx (Bohan) then you will most likely see the marshlands around that area. And yes that is definately the Pulaski Skyway. I can't find the screen right now but in the distance you can see the skyway perfectly. I JUST HOPE they added the big guy that is holding the carpet lmao he stands right under the skyway on Route 1&9. And in the opening of the Sopranos you can see him

 

It seems like the bridge in the background is the skyway....and that bridge off to the right looks like of one of the train/rail bridges thats by Tunnele Ave. Its just weird how the skyway doesn't curve

Edited April 19, 2008 by HolyHondaEk4

[Jops]

it could be a perspective illusion but the skyway does look like its curving on the end

Um, what about Hoboken? We're right across from Manhattan, too...
