Recommended Posts

The official topic about the One World Trade Center / Freedom Tower mod.

 

1414275733_3.png

 

The One World Trade Center / Freedom Tower mod is a idea of gtaking12. He and his team are working hard at this mod. The mod is still under construction and

is therefor still in a Beta Status.

 

For any questions about or suggestions for this particular mod, you can put it here

 

Link to the mod (Beta 6):

Video preview of Beta 6 (Work in progress):

One World Trade Center Mod is NOT compatible with Grand Theft Auto EFLC at the moment.

I'm gonna quote what you told me in the comments.

 

@libertyking: The Freedom Tower or One World Trade Center, should be on the church near the Union Drive West if you compare the map of New York City and the map of Liberty City. the original World Trade Center mod was on City Hall and the Woolworth Building across de World Financial Center.

I got an image of both situations but don't know to add these here.

 

 

Lol, you can't tell me much I don't know about NYC buildings, no need for a picture. But still, what church are you talking about?

 

This is the location I'd like it to be:

That way, the tower won't have to destroy the Woolworth Building and City Hall, if you know what I mean.

Too bad the Woolworth building is already gone in beta 3. The tower is also still in the middle of City Hall in this beta version. But what i have seen from gtaking12, is that in beta 4 the Freedom Tower will be in exactly in the spot you have highlighted. The church is on the other side of the road from what you did highlighted

I just don't get why we need to have the entire memorial in GTA IV. It would be nice to just have the tower, stairs, and some trees on the side similar to those in the new WTC.

I'm not the one making that decision, if the whole memorial going to be ther or not. I did make that map just to show how it could be, not how it should be. From what I have seen is that in the next Beta is that the Tower is probably in the right spot.

 

Further on, gtaking12 said that he and his team got major plans for Beta 4, what these are, I also do not know

gtaking12 already removed city hall and the Woolworth Building, so I guess it's going to be the entire plaza.

It's kinda weird to have a page about a mod without its creator in the topic, lol.

The creator of this mod knows about the topic. I'll keep correspoding with gtaking12 about this mod, so I can tell some of the information.And you are right, it was from the beginnning of this mod that the whole plaza will come to Liberty City, but how and when is also for me a big question

This looks interesting. Can't wait to see what it turns into.

 

But some things I'm wondering about.

1. It doesn't look to scale to me. The buildings look enormous compared to the others.

2. Is there any plans to make them less cartoonish? Again, I understand this is in early stages, and everything is just place holder.

3. Like the original WTC mod, I assume your using the same section of Liberty City, and trying to position it to be like in real New York.

 

Personally, due to the layout of LC, (That is lacking Ground Zero, and size) I would of positioned it differently and made out that this is how it is in Liberty City. It would be where the Amir Towers are supposed to be. The construction site that Yusuf Amir is building on. Here is why.

1. There is no Ground Zero in the correct location. The correct location is way too close to Rotterdam Tower, Star Junction, etc... However the construction site is a good distance away, so if the buildings are there, they aren't right on top of each other. It would keep the factor that in real life Manhattan, and GTA Algonquin, the skyline goes like this going north along the island. Tall buildings in the south. Short buildings north of that. Half way accross the island a bunch more tall buildings. North of that medium sized buildings around Central Park/Middle Park. Short buildings north of Central Park/Middle Park on the north side of the island.

2. Other landmarks in LC are moved slightly from their original location. For example, Rotterdam Tower, based off of the Empire State Building is south west of Star Junction, which is based off of Times Square, where as in the real New York City, the Empire State Building is positioned south east of Times Square.

3. In High Dive, a TBoGT mission, Yusuf states that his building is going to be taller than Rotterdam Tower. In real life, the One World Trade Center is taller than the Empire State Building.

4. A Weazel News broadcast about terrorism mentioned "Tragic events a few years ago" would correspond to 9-11. That most likely nudges at the fact that there was once a World Trade Center equivalent building in the GTA universe.

5. That construction site looks like Ground Zero. In 2008, the One World Trade Center was about as far along in its construction as the Amir Towers are in GTA IV (set in 2008).

 

So if I were to make a TC set in IV's LC in the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, or the 2000's pre 9-11-2001, I would try and create a parody of the twin towers there. If I were to make a TC set in IV's LC in the present, I would create the One World Trade Center there as Amir Tower.

You are absolutely right. Beta 5 scale was to big. And yes it will be placed in the original World Trade Center mod place (City Hall).

 

There is one other project we are working on, what will be placed at the construction site south of algonquin. We won't reveal what this is, because we don't know if we will continue with it. All we can say about it is the name: Imperial Amir Towers. And it will be a seperate mod if we continue with it.

I know it's going by real factual scaling but it just looks enormous compared to the rest of Liberty. Just my thoughts, good work all the same though!

Truth be told, the buildings in Beta 5 are too big and needs to be smaller. That is what they are working on in Beta 6 + adding more WTC models to the plaza. So stay tuned for further updates

Not sure if there is any progress at the moment. I didn't heard anything from gtaking12 last month. All I can say is to keep an eye on this mod.

Hello everyone, im gtaking12 from the gta 4 modding community, I want to let you guys know that I am picking back up on this mod. I am currently working by myself because I have lost contact with my other workers over the past year. Let me know if the mod is still worth it since GTA V is out. Stay tuned for updates!
