ThatsCool Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Hello i found a beta map of liberty city on the telephonebook at the apartment in bohan: Alderney had a piece of land and the airport looks different to me: Beta map Final map Edited May 20, 2009 by ThatsCool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foohy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I was wondering when something like this was going to surface. Awesome find, man! I wonder why R* decided on a smaller Alderney and 2 airports instead of 3 edit: Get a smaller pic of the real map...wayyy to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsydianRaven Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ever wonder if R* ever did make an islands basted on Staten Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHoff Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nice find! Looks like it could of been a boardwalk behind the casino. @sethpenguin: I believe R* said that Staten Island would be too boring in IV. Nevertheless, it would've been cool if they added Staten Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverTheBelow Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I wonder why R* decided on 2 airports instead of 3 2 airports?

bobgtafan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING BUBBA! Anyway I wish Alderney was bigger and had a larger countryside because Alderney was my favorite part of Libert City! Hey that peace of land could be connected to UPSTATE like in GTA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinomontana Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 hmm it makes me wonder why they made it smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foohy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 hmm it makes me wonder why they made it smaller Only thing I can think of is time constraints. If I remember correctly R* announced that the game was only a little over half done on it's original release date (Oct. 16, 2007). So maybe they removed planes due to the time consuming difficulty of getting the physics right and, as a result, removed one airport and made the other smaller. Not to mention that removing all that on top of that Alderney peninsula would have/did cut back a lot of time consuming texture and 3D work as well as vehicle paths, pedestrian paths, interiors, etc. That just sounds the most logical to me. That they removed stuff to keep the game from being delayed TO much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickeX Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hey guys DLC #2 is coming up. That little piece of land at the top left of Alderney is something that's not to big to fit in the DLC... I'm going to hope for it. Problably wont happen but you can always hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafioso86 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Nice find! Looks like it could of been a boardwalk behind the casino. @sethpenguin: I believe R* said that Staten Island would be too boring in IV. Nevertheless, it would've been cool if they added Staten Island. Any of you guys ever been to Staten Island? Really not missing much... it's pretty much the same as Jersey or Long Island. Although Alderney is most directly based on New Jersey, I think it fulfills the roles that Long Island or Staten Island would fill as they are similar areas. For example, a few years ago there was a biker war on Long Island between the smaller more underground local guys (Pagans MC) and the gigantic worldwide club (Hells Angels MC) that decided they wanted to open chapters in Long Island. Sound familiar? I honestly think this was a direct influence on TLAD, but since there was no Long Island in Liberty City, they just made the Lost based in Alderney. One thing from Staten Island that I would've liked though would be the ferry. It wouldn't be like incredibly exciting for gameplay, but like the sky car it would add some authenticity. They could've had them going between Castle Garden City and Happiness Island (just as the real ferry goes to Battery Park and Liberty Island) in addition to maybe Port Tudor (since there is no Staten Island in the game).
