Tyla Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) A collaboration between Akavari and Tyla Exploring Liberty City at the height of decay, the story follows three seasoned criminals through chaos and disorder as each competes for riches and survival in a dog eat dog underworld. Set in 1978 with the city dangerously close to bankruptcy, the game maintains a theme of decline and presents both risk and reward to those who dare to challenge the chaos. Crucial to the gameplay are the environment and how the player interacts with Liberty City, both of which are the foundations for expanded & updated features centred around criminal economies and street crime. Each protagonist is crafted with a unique identity and exclusive activities, allowing for the player to engage the Liberty City experience from every possible angle. Retaining the three-protagonist system of Grand Theft Auto V, LC78 features multiple lead characters who each provide a unique exploration of the many sides of Liberty City. Though much like GTAV, any of the protagonists can be switched to at any time, the protagonists are not connected in their motivations and live separate lives. Instead, the story works much like GTAIV, with multi-faceted plot points being explored from different angles and various references to your eventful acts throughout the storyline. South Bohan based street gangster. Commands the Apaches, known to be competing violently with other gangs for turf in an attempt to step up to the top tiers. Building a wide profile of contacts throughout the extended Liberty City and Alderney underworld. Questionable relationship Mitt Fitzsimmons. In frequent attendance of peacekeeping sitdowns arranged by the LCPD Detective, at which he represents his gang. Suspected of receiving favorable perks for keeping his activities on the down low. Decorated combat veteran. Believed to be operating as a contract killer since the closure of wounded veterans facilities in Liberty State. Served Airborne with gangster Giovanni Rossi, who is suspected of facilitating his involvement in recent Mafia slayings. North Holland native. Ice cold charisma. Known to favor earning his trade using mind over muscle, using his talents to exploit human weakness. Suspected to lead a crew of locally based thieves behind a recent string of ambitious robberies. Moving into narcotics under the guiding hand of Irving "Bunk" Williams. Martial arts expert. Each protagonist has a fully fleshed cast of supporting characters; individuals with unique personalities that give you, the player, an insight into Liberty City's criminal economy. The focus is again returned to gangs, with the character list featuring wannabe made men, aspiring drug kingpins and established heads of organizations -- in addition to the shadowy government figures who have vested interests in pulling strings. Meet some of the major players: Victor Quinones Cisco's childhood friend and second in command. A slick talker with an unpredictable temper, Victor Quinones is responsible for attracting much of the gang's business, wielding equal abilities for diplomacy and carving out a good deal. Mitt Fitzsimmons Well respected lawman posted to Fortside police station, heading up so-called 'warriors of wasteland'. Known for his unwavering loyalty to the badge, resisting all attempts to take bribe money, Mitt Fitzsimmons takes the unorthodox approach of keeping in direct contact with the street gangs that plague South Bohan, negotiating territories and calling sit downs in attempts to broker short periods of peace. Despite the initial success of these, Fitzsimmons often finds himself under the scrutiny of his superiors, who are short both on budget and patience. Augie Ciquala Ruthless gang chief, edging his way further into the South Bohan heroin trade. Connections with the Mafia, notably Messina figurehead Leer Valente, allow Augie to control a considerable proportion of the drugs that pass down the chain to street gangs such as the Apaches. Such is his worth as a contact that the protagonist it out to impress him at all costs. Sixto Callejas Legendary Puerto Rican gangster, fabled for his sheer ambition and unchallenged reign at the top prior to his imprisonment. Papi Joe Old time Alderney pimp and bolita kingpin, succumbing to being pushed out by younger cohorts. Wong Lee Chinese heroin pioneer, competing with Mafia backed importers to flood Liberty City with potent consignments of narcotics. Doing so has brought Mr. Lee to the attention of both the Mafia and the IAA, who each attempt to prevent him encroaching on established turf. Nelson Chivirico Alderney City based Cuban cocaine peddler, attempting to bring blow to a broader market. Calogero "Leer" Valente ALL Psychopathic crime boss recently paroled from prison. The consummate narcissist, Leer Valente returns to Liberty City feeling entitled to seize control of the Messina Crime Family, which has recently fallen into a period of inner turmoil. Ordering unauthorized killings of made men and orchestrating a hostile takeover of the Star Junction sex trade, Leer wastes little time in pissing many people off. Recently quoted as having a desire to have "Jon Gravelli sh*t in Star Junction", he wages war against his old enemy, intent on realizing his grand dream of ruling over the entire Commission and leading the Mafia towards overall control of the drugs trade. Calogera Valente Coming soon. Roy DeMare Murderous and ruthlessly ambitious affiliate to the Gambetti Family. Impressed with the protagonists ability to handle pressure without breaking a sweat, Roy DeMare quickly absorbs him into a dedicated crew of killers-for-hire, a Broker based enterprise of murder that soon begins to unravel. Overseeing a major shipping operation transporting and receiving goods from the Middle East, he starts purchasing loads of Golden Crescent heroin at knockdown prices, taking his previously small-time antics into the pressures of the big leagues. With his aim being to secure a position as a made man within the organization, Roy has his fingers in all kinds of pies. While on the surface, his hunger for money appears as greed, his appetite for increasingly audacious schemes is the desperation of the man facing the daily threat of being killed. Family boss Sonny Cangelosi had previously let Roy's operation slip through the cracks, and now cannot do without his income. Having turned a blind eye to his dealings in drugs and pr0nography, he does so only because of the sheer amount of money involved. Seeing the protagonist as an opportunity to perform even more ambitious crimes, he intends on keeping him close. Sonny Cangelosi Mafia Don with the required vision necessary to bring the Gambetti Family to new heights of power, but possesses none of the street-smarts desired to execute his skills. Sonny Cangelosi's ascent to the head of the organization is a case of sheer nepotism; the nephew of previously deceased boss Carlo Gambetti, he is rumored to have never pulled the trigger himself on a hit. Despite this, he favors the use of unruly contract killers to take care of his dirty work, operating a world away in his luxury Westdyke estate. This only serves to isolate him further from day-to-day operations. Cangelosi simply cannot translate his lofty schemes to his men on the street, and relies on Jon Gravelli to keep them in check. Jon Gravelli Tough as nails mobster secretly considering his ascent to leader of the Gambetti Family. Widely anticipated to have succeeded ailing godfather Carlo Gambetti as head of the organization, Jon Gravelli was ultimately passed over in favor of white-collar racketeer Sonny Cangelosi. Playing the loyal Capo and pledging his commitment to the new boss, privately he orchestrates opportunities that will allow him his shot at the big time. Federico "Freddie" DeSciglia Handsome, charismatic: gangster's gangster. Ex-linebacker and neighbourhood hero. Gravelli's right-hand-man. IAA liason. Matthew "Matty" Santangelo Gambetti union man. Low-key capo. Old school. Loyal. Sacrificed anyway. "Young Sonny" Bottino Bops around with the Crockett Avenue Cheetahs. Drawn to DeSciglia. Close to "Bootnose Johnny" Calabria. On the fast-track. Bobby Improta Major skag dealer. East Holland Gambettis. Big mouth. Flight risk. Tony Genna Mean. Just mean. Valente's top gun: very much of the same mold. Big-time standover man. Moodswings for days. Done lots of time. Frequents Studio 69. Has actress girlfriends on rotation. Sonny Kenpo Valente's pet killer. Expert marksman. Violent martial artist. Sal Merkin King of Star Junction. Runs block-on-block of peeps, parlours and adult bookstores. Saturating Algonquin with filth. Career enforcer with the Lupisellas. Fierce with his hands. In constant contention with the Gambetti & Montagna families. Jack LaRocca One-time Welterweight champ. Now a general lackey for Merkin. Works the door at Fascination. Wears a coin-belt where his Welterweight title used to be. Punchdrunk. Sinclair A defector with ties to insurgents in the Middle East. Sinclair has access to flood of Golden Crescent heroin that he options the sale of through an ambitious Mafia thug out of Broker, in return for the organizations assistance in protecting and distributing the drugs throughout the country. Using the Iranian Revolution as a cover, Sinclair begins shipping product into the United States via containers used to smuggle stolen vehicles into the Middle East. When things inevitably go wrong, he resorts to desperate measures to keep his skin intact. IAA Contact Responsible for managing the IAA's vested interests in the Mafia families of Liberty City. The IAA contact is tasked to liaise with current Gambetti don Sonny Cangelosi to preserve the partnership between his organization, though his own thoughts are later responsible for the agencies belief that a more adept pair-of-hands would be better in charge of things... Giovanni Rossi Well connected player in Mafia controlled acquisitions of nightclubs, expanding throughout Algonquin with the blessing of his godfather, Jon Gravelli. Rossi returned to Liberty City as a war hero after opting to serve Airborne in Vietnam opposed to taking a heavy stretch in the joint, trading on his good name to move within circles of high-society. Young, impulsive and with combat experience behind him, Rossi is a fast-talker whose lofty ambitions frequently place him in conflict with those above him in the food chain. Napoleon "Nappy" Scaramozzino Marseilles native. Shipped heroin and did a stint in Canadian jail. Succumbed to the habit himself. Later worked closely with the Dutoit Gang. Pointman for The Hitman. Makes the arrangements. Josef Dunin A sociopathic Polish-American contract killer based out of Alderney City. Initially developing a reputation as a con-artist and a brutal loan shark, his total commitment into fashioning murder-for-hire into ingenious and untraceable methods caught the eye of certain like minded Gambetti mobsters, who put him and his enormous frame to use as an enforcer. However, Dunin's obsessive behaviors and uncontrollable rages are beginning to impact severely on those around him, most notably his family, who are led to believe he paints houses in Algonquin. Jack McReary Unbalanced and pessimistic Irish Mob chief based out of Dukes and operating from Purgatory, heading an outfit known on the streets as the "Easties." Give him enough time and Big Jack will thoroughly dismiss any idea of the "Easties" as bullsh*t, revering the days when the mere mention of the McReary name was enough to stake fear in the heart of even the toughest Liberty City hood. Reduced to operating at the behest of other syndicates, he is involved in a burgeoning alliance with Gambetti mobster Roy DeMare, supplying protection to shipments passing through Purgatory's waterfront. Weary with a fourth child on the way and descending into paranoia, Big Jack is looking for ways to set himself up for life. Derrick McReary Young and passionate heir apparent to the McReary Mob who prefers culture over crime. Well-read and overly romantic about the world, Derrick attended school for a couple of years and indulged his love of Irish history; an act dismissed by his father who, despite attempts to harden him up, has come to accept his son as too soft for the family business and hinges hopes on his two youngest sons, Francis and Gerald. Briefly jailed for his involvement in violent protests, he dines out on his stories and his families' past to high-society friends Downtown, to all of whom he can't stop talking about "the cause." Influencing his toughest friend Bucky Sligo and the impressionable Aiden O'Malley, Derrick becomes involved with smuggling guns for IRA sympathizer Brendan Lennon out of Broker. Maureen McReary Matriarch. Settles debts walking around with Purgatory with a baby on her breast and a gun in her hand. Ariel Gara Criminal failure. Will never amount to anything. Walter Knox Killer-for-hire. Useless. Ten-Gallon Killer-for-hire. Not so useless. Homer Monet Loan shark. Ties to all five families and that pygmy thing in Alderney.

Assumes control of the Saponi Avenue faction of the Messinas. Responsible for imported muscle. Flashy dresser. High-opinion of himself. Renzo Renzulli Ineffective acting boss. Brought all this together and desperately wants to pull it off. Previously let the drug business lapse and hires The Hitman to take it back from the Cubans, blacks and Puerto Ricans. Underestimates them. Easily undermined. Harvey Noto & Richie Weir The protege and the pigeon. Hold a lucrative piece of Francis International Airport and run hijackings & strongarm out of BOABO. Five years ago, Harvey was a sausage stuffer; Weir a window cleaner in London. Harvey bought his button but Richie can never be made. Big falling out. Gravelli to the rescue. Tommy Calabrese Legendary Ancelotti capo. Paroled. Straight back into it. Too much heat on him in Liberty. Operates out of Alderney now. Feeds armed robberies to Jack McReary and his crew of misfits.

Operating out of Hairy Al's junkyard in South Slopes, Rosenthal is at the forefront of a significant vehicle theft racket and plans to use his proceeds to further his progress with the Gambetti Family, despite his Jewish heritage. Lack of Italian blood is a problem for Rosenthal, who begins to take options outside the organization to make a comfortable living.

The seventies are new territory for the Grand Theft Auto games, and it's only right that the story builds upon the series' reputation for storytelling by revisiting the pinnacle of its success: Liberty City. Explore some of the themes that the story here challenges, including: 1978: a big year in the HD Universe. The gift that was the LCPD Database tells us much happened in the HD Universe during 1978 specifically, and the story here aims to flesh these incidents out. Consider the conflicts between the five Mafia families, the McRearys and Irish Mob in their heyday, and the downfall of Mr. Forge. Decline: Liberty City is at its knees, rotten at the core thanks to rampant street crime and lack of funding. As the storyline progresses, the city progressively worsens; the West Side Highway collapses and turns into a wasteland; buildings collapse. You will witness neighborhoods flattened as decay sets in. The 1978 Liberty City blackout stokes fears that the city has been cut off by the government. Further explored is the decline of industry, which also manifests itself through the decline of criminal industry. The Mafia have reached the peak of their power and are now being challenged by other elements. Morals are challenged, with it now acceptable to rob old ladies to fix up your next nickle bag and Star Junction a cesspit of cheap pr0nography. Hostility: You are presented with a reactive environment, one that is incredibly volatile. The city is overbearingly hot. It's a heatwave and there's no AC. People are going crazy in the streets, losing their minds in open water fountains. Walking down the street with your character feels like someone's going to jump out and carve you up for so much as looking at them the wrong way. Mayor Winkler, a prominent voice throughout the game, is the subject of constant ridicule. Inspiration: Much like Vice City, the storyline has clear film inspiration, with the Blaxploitation genre providing a unique flavor to proceedings; think Shaft, Superfly, Foxy Brown. References include Carlito's Way, The French Connection, Goodfellas, Serpico and Across 110th Street among others. Beyond films, the game also takes from real life events, and you will encounter such random characters as the Boy of Bohan, who strikes fear into your movements through the map at night time. Race: Playing as each of the protagonists, you're going to be an unwelcome face in some neighborhoods. More than this, playing as Darius and Apache, you're going to come under increased scrutiny of law enforcement. Edited October 20, 2021 by Tyla Fixing things.

Tyla Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) "Pride and joy and greed and sex. That's what makes our town the best." -- Rolling Stones, Shattered, 1978. Revisiting GTAIV's rendition of Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City 1978 expands on the depiction of Algonquin, Bohan, Broker and Dukes in addition to Alderney State by taking advantage of increased hardware capabilities to redefine the existing map completely. With a focus on interiors and populating each neighborhood with its own diverse flavor, LC78 delivers the ultimate NYC experience. Set 30 years previous to the prior incarnation of Liberty City, the map incurs some major changes and feels almost like an entirely new location altogether. With the backdrop of the game being set to decay and the city facing financial ruin, ample reasons are provided for these locations to exist in 1978 yet be completely absent in 2008. The death of the labor and industrial industries also play a massive impact in changes to the Algonquin and Broker maps in-particular, especially the West Side of Algonquin. Both boroughs once thrived on imports and exports, but by 1978 are facing death. In 2008, all indications of their existence are mere memories. 42ND STREET/KUNZITE STREET Area 2008 Transport Authority Location 2008 Once (and later once again) a thriving strip of shows and theaters, Kunzite Street began its decline into the Red Light capital of the world in the early 70s. Highlighted as a bright-neon beacon of filth to all those entering Algonquin from the suburbs of Alderney and Broker-Dukes, and those arriving from out of town at the Transport Authority, Kunzite Street runs through the heart of Midtown Algonquin and is unavoidable to those passing through from any direction. Come 2008, a tuna sandwich at O.O.T.'s costs more than it would to get a blowjob here in 1978. ALDERNEY CASINO Location in 2008 A bustling and inviting entertainment complex and casino (see: gambling -- side missions), Alderney Casino and the adjoining boardwalk populate the otherwise suburban neighborhood of Westdyke. Despite falling into ownership conflicts throughout the 70s, people still frequent in droves and famous property developer Lyle Cleethorpes IV is known to be taking an interest in developing the site further. ALDERNEY MANSION/SONNY CANGELOSI'S HOUSE Location in 2008 Built of and surrounded by white marble, this massive plot of land in Westdyke operates as the residence of Sonny Cangelosi. The current Gambetti Don is known to have such extravagant luxuries inside as a heated underground swimming pool, multi-car garages and Cuban maids by the dozen. It is accessible only by getting through the towering gates and scaling the lengthy gravel driveway -- invited visitors are usually collected and driven to the "White House" by Cangelosi's personal bodyguard, Battaglia. BEECHWOOD CITY/MOHEGAN AVENUE DUMP Area in 2008 Completely engrossing Mohegan Avenue is a vast landfill, notorious for the dumping of dead bodies by the Mafia. Overlooked by project blocks built on unused areas of the dump and with the Broker-Dukes Expressway running alongside it, there are two main entrances and exits to this maze of trash. The first is opposite the Homebrew Cafe, a gated area running next to the projects: it isn't uncommon for the playgrounds to be overcome with blowing mounds of garbage. The second is at the head of Carson Avenue, leading onto the Broker-Dukes Expressway. BOABO DOCKS Location in 2008 Alongside East Hook, the BOABO docks is Broker's major seaport. Placed next to the Twitchin's Sugar Factory, the dock receives goods from all over the country via train (see: robberes -- goods train) with the tracks running underground into Cerveza Heights. Car Floats are used to get goods out of the Eastern boroughs and into Algonquin. BOHAN DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER Location in 2008 A revolutionary hospital for the physically and mentally disabled, the East Bohan Developmental Center is located within the Industrial district, an odd beacon of hope among a financially decrepit borough. By the end of the story, funding will be pulled and the hospital will close. CASTLE GARDENS CITY Location in 2008 Disused landfill being built over, Castle Gardens in 1978 is no more than sprawl of empty lot undergoing sporadic construction. Liberty City intends to build over the rubbish the same as they constructed the WCC on the same wasteland -- but not for many, many years. CROSS-BOHAN EXPRESSWAY Area in 2008 Considered by many to be the blight of Bohan, this poorly constructed (evidenced by its collapse in mid-2000s) expressway connecting South Bohan with the Industrial area covers the south end of the Northern Expressway. Running over Bohan River, it exits onto Rocket ST and receives Northbound traffic from San Quentin Ave/Hollowback ST, where the lane runs through what would become the construction site in 2008. ELEVATED UNION DRIVE WEST HIGHWAY Area in 2008 Connecting Downtown Algonquin with Uptown, the elevated portion of Union Drive West begins in the shadows of the World Commerce Center at Castle Gardens and ends at the Hickey Bridge, with exits throughout. In a state of deep disrepair, it will collapse after a portion of the storyline and be rendered unusable by pedestrian traffic. HIGH-LINE & WEST SIDE TRAINYARDS Area in 2008 Hematite ST Yard in 2008 Turned into an urban park by 2008, the High-Line functions through Westminster & The Meat Quarter as a goods delivery route to the West Side Yards at Purgatory, coming to rest at Hematite ST. The High-Line Train receives its loads at Garnet ST Station -- itself accessible by the notorious underground Garnet Corridor linking the station with the subway -- and the train cars are often shipped over to Port Tudor via the famous rail bridge. The Suffolk Trainyard has become somewhat of a graveyard by 1978, with closure on the horizon and development in its future. LIBERTY CITY COLOSSEUM Location in 2008 Replacing the Time Warner Building at the border of Middle Park and Purgatory is the Liberty City Colosseum, a relic of old Liberty City that houses shows, events, and generally serves as the series' missing rendition of Madison Square Garden. STAR JUNCTION Location in 2008 Sleazy, dangerous, and downright dirty in the era before it became a tourist theme-park, Star Junction dominates Algonquin and a major portion of Liberty City's criminal elements congregate here -- from the street hustlers to the Mafia capos who control the pr0no theaters. Chain restaurants are few and far between; the main eateries here are Big Johnson's and Mamma Cipriani's, as well as the $2 Nuts & Sprunk combos you can pick up with any XXX movie. For things to do, why not shoot 8-BALL at the pool hall, visit the Fascination amusement arcade or ring a cousin to bowl at Liberty City Lanes? Looking for high-class? Pay a visit to Studio 69 on the precipice of Middle Park or catch a musical on Burlesque. to the filth and explore -- you won't regret it. STEINWAY SUBWAY YARDS Location in 2008 The end of the road for elevated travel in the Eastern Boroughs, one step beyond the functioning Dukes Boulevard station. Located in the shadows of the East Borough Bridge and in close proximity to the Irish Mob controlled neighborhood of Steinway, the area is the host of many a shady deal. While protected by Transit Police and regular rent-a-cops, at night this is the favored location of ambitious street gangs looking to throw up a tag on a subway car. SWINGERS STADIUM Area in 2008 In a state of disrepair akin to the rest of Bohan, the legendary Swingers Stadium occupies Boulevard on the banks of the Humboldt River, receiving traffic from and directly overlooking Northwood. It will close someway through the story, being occupied by ambitious and revolutionary street gangs. WEST SIDE PIERS Location in 2008 With the exception of Purgatory railyard, this once thriving dockland is now abandoned to the elements, the West Side Piers sitting along the banks of the West River in various states of disrepair, though still able to be walked for unique views of both the Downtown skyline and Alderney State. Men of hard labor once occupied these piers. Now they are lost to freaks, junkies and crazed old wharf rats. WORLD COMMERCE CENTER Dominating Castle Gardens and the Liberty City skyline, the iconic World Commerce Center towers are the go-to for high stakes trade. Always surrounded by an abundance of foot and road traffic, pay a visit for majestic views of the city from heights never before realized in Liberty City. The following section contains a selection of pictures showing Liberty City as is in 1978 versus the GTAIV rendition in 2008. You will notice the immense amount of decay and the progress realized 30 years later, seeing entire blocks in states of total destruction. Some neighborhoods such as East Holland are in the midst of transitions from slum housing to public housing, with the major project towers in that area undergoing construction -- people sleep under the cranes as they await the finished buildings. Demographics impact greatly on neighborhood changes. Hove Beach -- almost entirely Russian and Eastern European in 2008, is majority Italian in 1978, presided over by the feuding Ancelotti & Lupisella families, both of whom have extensive interests in the nearby stretch of Broker waterfront; the eastern district -- that closest to Firefly Projects -- is represented by an entirely different -- and Gambetti controlled -- neighborhood: Firefly Beach. Similarly, Little Italy is more expansive, with Italian influence clearly visible into neighboring Suffolk and Chinatown. Bordella -- the area that would later become Fishmarket North -- and Fishmarket South, are also heavy on Mafia control, with operations at the Fortside Fish Market supervised by the Pavano Family. The Pavanos are also present in a dwindling pocket of East Holland at the north end of Bismark Avenue-- Italian Holland. Purgatory and The Meat Quarter -- both of which later develop into trendy, upscale areas -- are homes of men of hard labor and caters to their vices accordingly. The Irish Mob have a significant presence in Purgatory and the surrounding area, reflecting the fateful stories Patrick McReary would recount thirty years later. Cuban migrants -- mostly from the initial exile of the 1960s -- frequently populate the then downtrodden areas of Berchem and Alderney City, partnering with like minded Puerto Rican migrants. Soviets are present in small numbers, mostly as hustlers and conmen in areas of Hove Beach, all viewed with suspicion at the height of the Cold War.

Tyla Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) With a focus on the player enacting and evolving their criminal means in free-roam gameplay, Liberty City 1978 introduces a series of innovative features of which aim to place each of the protagonists in a tough and fluctuating criminal underworld. You will navigate the riches the city has to offer from the ground up, from pick-pocketing businessmen at the World Commerce Centre to planning your own daring heists in the warehouses of Bordella. Rooted in the overarching themes of identity, race and interaction, each feature considers all protagonists in equal measure with facets of their personalities determining the features they prefer to engage. Introducing an Inventory System that allows the character to build up, buy & sell and use various items acquired throughout the game, expanded Physical and Mental attributes that can be increased throughout the game, and criminal enterprises of which increase in generated income the more you invest time in, Liberty City 1978 makes use of both the city and the criminal climate of the 1970s to the fullest extent. Innovative features expand interactions with the game world and those who populate it. Being set in a time before mobile phones and internet use, LC78 draws heavily on player vs NPC communication to introduce new levels of immersion. For further discussions and suggestions, please feel encouraged to leave a reply. HIT denotes a feature available to The Hitman, with HUSTLER and CON representing The Hustler & Connection. Brawling: Later evolving to full on armed combat, gang brawls are The Connection's means of evolving the Apache's status as a heavy set throughout Liberty City. At first limited to strictly hand-to-hand combat, with a handful of your toughest soldiers going head-to-head with rivals throughout the city, brawling quickly progresses to increasingly challenging melee encounters. The outcome of these, and the more battle hardened your soldiers become, develops into points-based reputation for the Apaches. The greater points you amass in-game, the more contacts you'll unlock. Conversely, the more challenging battles will become. Territory and influence can be gained through completing gang wars, after which you will station your men in the turf you acquire. More about this soon. Mailbox: With all three protagonists versed in the art of letter writing -- The Hitman from his tours in Vietnam, The Connection and The Hustler from their stints in prison -- mail communication replaces the email function from GTAIV & GTAV respectively. You'll simply collect your pending letters at the mailbox and the protagonist will respond to them accordingly, with the choice of a positive or negative response being entirely the player's choice. In addition to mail from unseen characters, which serves as additional background development, the player will also receive catalogues that serve a similar purpose to websites in GTAV. Interested in that shiny new weapon or the latest Albany Esperanto? Simply mail an order and have it delivered the next day. Mental & Physical Attributes: Player stats return from GTAV and GTA: Online, expanded and redefined. Each protagonist has his own measure of physical and mental attributes. These attributes can be increased individually by both progressing throughout the game naturally, or through the player's own excursions in free-roam. While physical attributes place the majority of focus upon how the character handles themselves when they are in a situation -- how hard they can hit, how fast they can navigate corners in a vehicle -- mental stats contribute to how the protagonist functions psychologically, effecting how the player interacts with the malestrom of Liberty City and the seedy individuals that populate it. This goes hand in hand with the increased NPC interaction featured in LC78. Like GTAV, all three protagonists begin proficient and deficient in their own specific areas. The Hitman, being a hardened combat veteran, is in peak physical condition and freakishly composed with weapons; he is, however, the consumate outcast, lacking in awareness and charisma. The Hustler is the polar opposite; ice-cold confident, streetwise and strikingly intelligent. The Connection begins with a boost in resilience, battle hardened from many violent gang battles out in Bohan. Strength is the damage that the protagonist deals out hand-to-hand. It is built up by engaging any type of physical activity; training with weights at one of the gym's or in prison, doing pull-ups and press-ups in the gang clubhouse. Resilience is how well the protagonist absorbs damage, both from fists and firearms. The more you increase this stat, the fewer health points the character loses when damaged. Increase resilience by taking blows during a fist fight and staying on your feet, or by surviving six-star rampages when you're down to your last amounts of health. Awareness functions as the protagonist's level of street smarts, literally how well they know the map, the shady back-alley dealers, and the mistakes that can be made & how to avoid them. Boosting awareness not only places icons on your mini-map as to where NPC dealers can be found lurking, but also gives you a heads up to danger before you walk into it. Charisma is your magnetism, your leadership credentials; it is also your ability to not only charm the pants off women, but talk your way out of a fight if need be. Ways to increase this are two-fold, as are the effects. Firstly, you'll boost this stat by engaging NPCs in conversation; the more charismatic the player is, the less incidents you'll have of pedestrians getting randomly pissed off at you and calling for cops. Charisma also effects how well you perform as a leader, and increasing this skill will reward you with the increased capabilities of crew members when you're out on a heist. Composure is your ability to remain calm under pressure, and can influence the game's core mechanics of driving, shooting and fighting. Boost this by doing difficult things and by doing them well. You'll have a steadier shot, a cooler hand on the driving wheel and won't get overwhelmed in a fist-fight. Intelligence is the sum of your book smarts and the skill of processing complex ideas. This translates to gameplay in unique ways. By reading books, or by attending classes at the local YMCA, the protagonist can gain the skills to create more accurate & detailed plans for more successful heists. In addition to this, protagonists can also become more proficient with second languages. This is reflected in gameplay by subtitles offering an English translation to what is being said around you. Very useful for when you're knee-deep in Spanish Holland and have a running chance at avoiding being jumped by the Lords, or when you're navigating the backalleys of Chinatown trying to avoid captors. Newspapers: LC78 introduces the ability to read about your antics within an actual, physical newspaper. These can be purchased for $1 from many of the street vendors around the city. Newspapers also serve to provide in-game parody and advertisements concerning unique, one-off items, as well as personal ads if the protagonist wants to hit up some lonely kitty. Phone Communication: Beyond face-to-face meets, which are the backbone of mission progression, phones are your primary mode of communication and are located throughout the map. Though sparse in the more rural areas of the map, such as Alderney State, payphones are everywhere; street corners, subway stations, interiors. These can be used to dial any contact in the protagonist's black book and initiate missions when necessary. Furthermore, car phones provide the most luxurious form of phone communication in the game. These are able to be purchased as you acquire greater fortunes throughout the storyline, and can be installed in any car you own to allow you to receive communication as and when you please. Tagging & Murals: An artistic way of immortalizing your most fierce gang battles and fallen soldiers. Murals can be placed on many sizable, spacious walls throughout the map. You'll need spray cans aplenty and a healthy amount of backup if you're spraying in enemy territory. Completing a mural earns you massive reputation bonuses. Tagging is more common, available in more areas and more forms than murals. Throw up an Apache tag in rival turf or on the side of a subway car to let everyone in town know you were there. Arms Dealing HIT Based heavily around Derrick McReary and Bucky Sligo's interactions with the IRA, arms dealing involves The Hitman acquiring, transporting and overseeing the sale of various armament throughout Liberty City and Alderney. Arson CON Liberty City is burning -- rents are too high and with vandalism hitting profits, merchants want out. The Connection will be approached by ten property owners throughout the city -- though mostly around Bohan and Uptown -- to burn down their dwellings. In return for his fire-starting expertise, he will collect a generous sum of the insurance claim. Assassinations HIT Encountering shady government operatives through his dealings with Liberty City's Mafia families, The Hitman is recruited by a determined IAA operative to take down a series of politically motivated assassinations for the greater good of the United States safety and stability. Bodyguard HIT With John Rossi intent on expanding his profile of Algonquin based nightspots, his ambitions attract an increasing number of high-profile clientele who wish their debauched antics to remain beyond the confines of the velvet rope. From Studio 69 you will escort and protect the interests of several celebrities and VIPS from the gossip columns, crazed fans and insane stalkers that prowl the city. Drug Dealing CON -- HUSTLER Focused on both degrees of street sales and supplier deals, you will explore Liberty City's drug economy from the ground up. Taking inspiration from both Chinatown Wars and early computer game Dope Wars, you will compete for corners and navigate the city looking for the best prices, transporting between boroughs to turn the best profit. Of course, the city is a big place and you aren't the only people with ambition. Be wary of rival gangs who lay down claims to territory. If you want to maximize your profits and eventual growth of your business, you will need to take over real estate. This is where the quality of your supply matters -- the fear you bring into a neighborhood by forcefully taking it over does not turn you a steady profit, but how good your product is. All of this you will have to consider when forming your street deals. As well as quality, consider the availability of the drugs you are buying and selling -- this is where the money is. This is 1978 and Cocaine isn't big yet. You'll only find it in Algonquin, not the other boroughs, and even then only in limited qualities. Heroin is everywhere -- but The Council and the Italians supply the best. Ludes and Bennies are something you'll find around most nightclubs, while Weed and Angel Dust are common throughout the map. Gambling ALL Gambling is extensive in Liberty City 1978, featured in various degrees throughout the entirety of the map. This pastime will become your favorite way of losing (or occasionally doubling) your money, with a variety of games available to each of the protagonists: Bookies: Take on sports gambling and heavy debts with your local Italian gambling chief. As with the drug dealing feature, roaming the map will grant you access to better or worse odds on various sports spreads, depending on the family you lay your action with: The Gambettis from Rotterdam Hill in Broker and Willis in Dukes. The Pavanos from East Holland in Algonquin and throughout the Alderney waterfront. The Lupisellas from Fortside and Boulevard in Bohan. The Ancelottis from Hove Beach in Broker and both Acter and Berchem in Alderney. The Messinas from Little Italy in Algonquin and Cerveza Heights in Dukes. Depending on your standing with the families, bookies may be willing to lend you gambling money at 5% interest a week. Casino: Visit the thriving Alderney Casino along the Westdyke shoreline and play poker, roulette, blackjack or the slot machines among other games. Also functioning as an amusement gallery, bring your friends and lay wagers on midget boxing and the shooting gallery. Off-Track Betting: Located throughout the city as an alternative to mob bookies. Street Gambling: A huge focus is placed on the number of street games available for the player to participate in, often exclusive to one area of the city, all equally willing to take your hard earned cash. By far the most popular are the Numbers Lotteries, with one set up in every ghetto and ethnic enclave in the map. The Cubans operate their own unique version of the lottery: Bolita. In both games, the player chooses three numbers and places their bet with a runner, and the lottery is drawn the following game day. Popular confidence games operated by fast-talking hustlers are dice and three-card monte, both of which you can also operate whilst playing as The Hustler. Wagers: Back up your big talk with wagers requiring varying degrees of skill. The quality of your physical and mental stats also contribute to how good you are under pressure. Settle bets over Pool (8-Ball or trick shots, depending how flash you are), Dwarf Tossing, defy death over Russian Roulette or challenge the AOD Clubhouse to an Arm Wrestle. Hustling HUSTLE Practicing the art of the con, Darius is able to operate within this side-mission from several perspectives: that of the street level con-artist or the player within one of ten hustles that have been suckered as marks by his accomplice, Pretty Willie. To continue the theme of interaction, Darius is a keen observer of exchanges between pedestrians and providing you keep your ear to the ground, you'll be able to work out suckers for yourself. Simply approach these people once you identify them in the crowds, and interact with them as you would a normal conversation in San Andreas or GTAV. Increasing your mental skill of charisma will boost the dialogue options available to you, allowing Darius to run a scheme on the spot and con unsuspecting NPCs out of their money. The further you attempt and progress through street hustles, the more Darius will become aware of them in free-roam gameplay. Hustling marks runs a little differently. You'll be partnered with Sport and have to fulfill a specific role in the scam for it to work correctly and the mark to fall prey to it. Marks may not always be people -- the job may be to run up lines of credit through a dummy company, or to pass counterfeit bills at certain soft target stores throughout Liberty City. Loan Sharking HIT With your ties to both the Italian and Irish elements of crime, from very early on Michael will be called upon to collect debts owed to the Gambetti and McReary families. While these side-missions can be simple enough -- or extremely difficult if collecting a debt from someone who is also mobbed up -- progressing through them allows you the ability to loan money yourself. Michael will need to establish a base; setting one up in an Italian or an Irish neighborhood will determine his backup and the investors in the business. You will profile and loan money to clients, turning a profit based on your ability to collect money owed to you and enforce punishment on those who late pay you. Be too easy and people will start to avoid paying you altogether. Mugging CON -- HUSTLER By far the easiest way to get your hands on fast cash, plan this street crime by impulse and grab some wallets, or a little more thoroughly and stick up public transport: Bus Robberies: Simply get onto any bus at any spot around the city and start waving a piece around. Keep the driver & passengers under control and force them to hand over their belongings. Jack 'N Run: Hit up an unsuspecting civilian and run off with their valuables. Fence stolen watches and jewelry at Suffolk Open Market or attempt to sell them yourself. The Stick-Up: Corner your victim and demand their cash at knife-point. Subway Robberies: Corner an entire car of commuters with your gang and take them for everything they have. Pickpocketing CON -- HUSTLER Like mugging, there are various ways to operate as a pickpocket throughout Liberty City, expanding on existing game mechanics. The Bump: Time your approach right and simply bump into your target. How fast you are to press Triangle/Y determines if you're able to swipe anything. The more you work on your mental skills, the more you will tend to steal watches instead of 'dummy wallets'. The Rear Pocket: Hit the action button from behind and dive into your mark's back pocket. How skilled you are with your time will get you either a wallet full of dollars or a punch on the nose. Pimping CON -- HUSTLER Building on the simple provision of sex to clients around the map, pimping in Liberty City 1978 is a multi-faceted feature that relies on how your build your appearance, manage your corners and treat your hoes to determine your success. To first begin pimping, you'll need to establish your front. A Pimpmobile is required: get a dealership to supply you with a stock Albany or Dundreary and visit Mothers of Suspension to add the necessary upgrades. Usually, a fat helping of chrome trim and an extra back tire is more than enough to suffice. Once you have your wheels looking fly, you need to upgrade your vine. Assemble any outfit that totals more than $5,000, sourcing furs and exotic silks from stores throughout the city. Now you look the part, you need to recruit some pussy. You can cruise known red-light-districts such as Chase Point and impress experienced whores, making their pimps look like two-dollar chumps, or head to the Transport Authority to sucker some fresh blood. Once you've started to build your stable, you need to put your girls on a corner. When you're active in pimping, it will become clear on the map as to which corners are available and which corners are taken. If you choose to seize a corner, you need to come by every so often to collect your money and keep your hoes in line. Be warned -- rivals and the LCPD will interfere with your game and you need to be active in this area to keep it successful. Robberies ALL Expanded beyond its previous incarnations in Vice City and GTAV, LC78 provides you with a wealth of opportunity to lay down heists of varying degrees of risk and reward. Through your interactions with NPCs, you'll be able to establish your own crew and train them to your specific requirements. The reputation your crew acquires as you continue to take down scores together rewards you with contract heists; jobs that are pre-planned by master criminals who will hire you to lay down robberies to their specific plans. Armored Cars: Target a cash transport and steal the contents. The longer you observe a truck making its rounds, the more money you can potentially escape with. Bank: Enter a Savings & Loan with crew and clean them out. You'll require a Driver, Entryman, Gunmen and Logistic experts of reasonable skill to succeed, as well as a cool head of your own. Counter Robberies: Threaten a store owner and clean out the cash register. Be careful they aren't packing a Saturday Night Special. Goods Train: Hold up the Goods Train as it makes its way over the High Line in Westminster. Inside Job: Pay off unhappy workers to get privy about shipments both legal and illegal, from the Airport to the Docks. Poker Game: Use your obtained knowledge of gambling in Liberty City to locate and rob Mafia controlled card games or policy banks. Expect repercussions and always bring a gunman. Trucks: Similar to Armored Cars with a focus on goods. Find trucks in plentiful amounts around Francis International Airport. Offload the cargo to your fence for a heavy payday. Street Fighting ALL Returning from TBOGT with expanded scope, street fighting is the combination of a broad spectrum of organized bouts that each protagonist can compete in. With each protagonist possessing their own unique brawling style, you will first need to go about establishing a reputation for yourself. This can be as simple as participating in an existing underground fight circuit and earning their respect, or getting yourself known as someone who's good with your fists by favoring non-lethal takedowns in combat over gun-play. Over time, your reputation culminates as a record as your successes on the street fighting scene. Reputation serves as your currency. You will be challenged by tougher opponents with bigger purses at stake as you progress. Be warned though. Should you lose, your reputation resets itself and you'll have to work your way back up to infamy. Taxi Driver ALL Grab a Bickle Cabbie and start hacking, no background check required. Theft CON -- HUSTLER Engage in the many avenues of low-level theft. You will need to find a fence to offload the goods to or know the location of a pawn shop to earn a profit. Burglary: Prowl the night and empty homes of their valuables. Car Radios: Break a window and unscrew soundsystems for your own profit. Shoplifting: Walk in with a big bag and start taking what you want. Who's going to stop you? Vehicle Theft ALL Targeted car thefts, available throughout the map. Each protagonist will have a specific list of 15 vehicles that unique contacts will require them to boost. Vigilante ALL Lash out at the filth and grime by joining the Avenging Angels in any of the four boroughs and Alderney. Equipping the Avenging Angels fatigues of a combat jacket and beret, you'll march through the map attending to various levels of street crime. Your fellow Angels become battle hardened much like The Lost -- the more you fight crime alongside each other as a team, the more effective you'll become. While you are acting as Vigilante, your map in the immediate vicinity -- similar to both San Andreas and True Crime: New York City -- will appear in various shades: green, yellow and red. This indicates the level of crime in the area. It is your job as a crime fighter to turn reds into greens and keep them that way. In addition to the Vigilante side missions, The Connection is provided with a list of the 20 Most Wanted fugitives in Liberty City by Mitt Fitzsimmons after reaching a certain point in the story. Much like GTAIV, you'll be able to stalk and kill these individuals. Arcade Games The new big thing. Visit Fascination in Star Junction to take on Armies of the Night, Shlong and Womb Polluter. Driving games more your thing? Have a crack at Speedway 400. Basketball Shoot hoops at your local ball court. B-Boy Get down and breakdance in the streets of Bohan. Bring your boombox and face down the competition. Bowling Take in the famous Liberty City pasttime at the lanes in Star Junction. Chess The thinking man's game. Boost your intelligence by facing off against old Cuban exiles in Acter park. Contributes significantly to the player's intelligence stat. Disco Dancing Strut your stuff at Studio 69 or Paradise. Firefly Island Carnival The legendary Firefly Island Funland. Ride the Liberty Eye, brave The Screamer and enjoy the Go-Karts. Try and avoid the Crockett Avenue Cheetahs -- they run this part of town. Fishing Take a boat out and see what you can ring in. Don't be too surprised if it's a rotten, three-fingered hand or one-eyed fish. Gym Resistance based weight training, forming a great contributor to your strength based physical stats. Develop your punching power with the bench press, your ability to jump and scale walls quicker by mastering the squat, and overall resistance by maxing out your deadlift. Each protagonist can additionally perform pull-ups, press-ups and sit-ups in their desired home properties. Movies Watch something on the big screen. Recent hits are Padrino, Rum Runner and Glassjaw, while Richards Majestic classics High School! and Nelson in Naples still pull in the crowds. Peepshow You stick it through a hole in the wall and come out with full health. Need I say more? Races Go underground with illegal street racing. Rapping It was born on the streets of South Bohan. Plug your gear into a streetlight, face down that sucker from around the way and lyrically tear them to shreds over a beat from W-JIVE. Hit the combinations at the right time to maintain your flow. Restaurants Dine out Liberty City style, sampling the fine fare of Big Johnson's and Mamma Cipriani's. Shows Catch something abstract on Burlesque. Stickball Stoopball, an old neighborhood favorite. Join in a street game the next time you find yourself in East Holland. Grand Theft Auto's wanted system and its effects receive a substantial overhaul in LC78. Considering more complex interactions with Liberty City's wasteland warriors and Alderney's state troopers, factors including heat levels, bribery and visibility are introduced. Owing to the grittiness of the game's 1970s Liberty City setting and the brutal circumstances under which they must operate, the game's police officers are the toughest of the series, revered for their bravery and outright tenacity, with their own unique measures with which they will attempt to clip your wings. Police in your radius - when your 'awareness' mental stat is high enough - will appear as small blue blips on your mini-map. A small arrow will indicate which direction they are looking or heading, and this is crucial to you getting away with your crimes. While the police you encounter on the streets will respond to any crime you commit within their line of sight -- unless they have been bribed -- throughout both the storyline and free-roam, you will encounter police officers who act more like gang members. They will rival your protection rackets, going into stores to collect money. The Mafia hire Detectives out as hitmen. Often, your best source and supply of drugs in Liberty City will be narcotics detectives. Reconsidering "Busted" - Methods of the LCPD from the 1970s You can get yourself hospitalized 50 times in any playthrough by messing with the cops, but how many times have you been "busted?" And even then, what comes of you surrendering to cops? You'll lose $5,000 and your weapons. Not in LC78. Arrest: The LCPD favor placing you in cuffs as opposed to hospital, and will take you downtown if you give them any jive. Arrest is the outcome of surrendering -- dropping your weapon and standing unarmed -- being cuffed during a brawl with street cops or being busted by Detectives if you let your heat run out of control. Rarely, you will be the victim of profiling and have to fight arrest to make an escape. If "Busted" for a serious enough crime, the player will spend time in Alderney State Correctional Facility. Backup: Officers call for backup using police whistles, or via radio if you're in a car chase. Hearing the whistle of a brother officer will bring all cops in the vicinity down on your ass, so be ready to move. Bribery: Overworked and underpaid, Liberty City's finest are always interested in earning a little extra scratch -- so long as there aren't any prying eyes around. Pay off beat cops to keep the heat off your score, or deliver a brown paper bag to your local precinct to make sure activities go smoothly for the foreseeable future. Confiscation: The most likely outcome of any low wanted level police attention (2 stars and below) when you're unarmed. If you're beaten into submission by the LCPD after resisting arrest or, God help you, assaulting a cop, you will have the sh*t kicked out of you and be dumped in the nearest back alley. When dealing with street cops and plainclothesmen, you will have a portion of your on-hand cash (10-20%) taken from you, your drugs and weapons confiscated. Hardened detectives will take all your cash and your drugs, and dump you in a bad neighborhood for your trouble. If you're feeling brave, you can strike back at street cops to get your stuff back. When you're dealing with Detectives, you'll have to break into their precinct and get your drugs back before they sell them. Extortion: In certain precincts, the police are organized more like a gang. Street cops collect protection money from local businesses, and will drop this money if you attack them. This also makes the extortion side-mission harder for the player, as they will have to compete with the LCPD for control of a business. Patrol: The LCPD and Alderney State Patrol are a visible presence on the streets and subways, cruising in squad cars and patrolling their beat in pairs. Less visible are plainclothesmen, who dress to blend in with the neighborhood and are ready to pounce on you in high-crime districts. Patrolling cops, including street detectives, usually carry Service Revolvers, but will mix it up with batons and fists if you resist arrest without pulling your gun. Shakedown: Similar to resisting arrest in The Warriors, the shakedown mini-game occurs at any point when you are cornered by street cops. You'll fight to give up as little of your stash as possible, at best smooth talking your way out of a trip to the precinct . Taken For A Ride: Occurring when you piss off gangs that are powerful enough to have corrupt detectives on the payroll. You'll be ambushed on the street you are walking down by unmarked cruisers that close in on you. Assuming they arrest you before you fight them off, they will beat you black and blue in the back seats of their car, take your cash and your drugs and dump you on the street. Vehicles: The main mode of transport used by the police in the game are their cruisers. The LCPD favor Argyle and Imponte squad cars; Alderney State Patrol use souped up Bravados and Vapids for their fleet. However, in the borough of Algonquin, the LCPD also patrol on Horseback and by Scooter, adding to the diversity of your pursuit. Heat Your level of police heat is how aggressively the police pursue you, both when you have a wanted level and when you do not. Depending how well you bribe the LCPD, there are four levels of police heat: Level 1: Increased police response to you visibly committing crimes. They'll arrive faster and come down on you harder. Level 2: Undercover cops begin to tail you. Unless you lose them, they'll jump on you with shotguns at the first sign of trouble. Worse still, they'll take down your deals if you're lax enough not to lose them before a big drugs meet. Level 3: The LCPD begin to raid your businesses, cracking down on your rackets and terrorizing your profits. Level 4: At this point you're too much trouble to be kept on the streets and at you're next save, you are busted and thrown in prison. This may happen at your safehouse, with LCPD busting down the doors with sledgehammers and carting you off, or if you quick save you will be surrounded and subdued. Police heat also effects how the police operate. If you've generated a high enough level of heat, expect to see four officers patrolling in cars instead of the usual two. At the highest levels, the FIB will respond directly to your crimes as opposed to Liberty City's finest. Visibility Visibility occurs when you're committing a crime out in the open. Every car you hotwire, every sucker you mug out in the open, earns you a certain level of visibility. This is indicated by the six wanted stars appearing in the right corner of the screen and becoming partially filled according to your actions. How visible you are relates to your environment. Committing crimes no longer earns you an instant wanted level. Instead, depending on how obviously you're performing your criminal acts, your wanted stars will begin to fill with visibility. Murder a hobo on a dark unpopulated street, and you're not going to register any visibility, let alone pick up a wanted level. Start killing civilians in public and you're going to attract a serious police response if you haven't fled the scene. These areas of the map remain 'hot' for a period of time, depending on the severity of your crimes. If you've blown up Star Junction in a six-star rampage, you can expect to receive some police attention if you pass through there any time soon. Eyewitness reports (witnesses being indicated on your mini-map) contribute to your heat levels, should you fail to kill them during your rampage. The amount of heat again depends on the crime you've committed. The LCPD won't care too much about stolen cars and picked pockets. They will, however, come down hard on random killings. Plan things out and be stealthy. Edited October 11, 2021 by Tyla Fixing things.

Tyla Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks for all the comments ladies and gents. I never thought I'd want to go back to Liberty City ever again, but in this instance I'll make an exception.Bravo to ya, this is great stuff. I never knew Akavari was still around either. I'm pretty sure he isn't, but a lot of this concept is his work. I just put the content together out of PMs we wrote brainstorming this years ago. Looks pretty nice, so far! I can't wait to see more content. Liberty City in '78? Count me in!These songs gave me serious Driver: Parallel Lines vibes. Great job! Driver: PL is one of my favorite games of all time and I don't mind admitting its fantastic 70s soundtrack was a huge inspiration, especially to the W-Jive station. Must admit, I never knew Marvin Gaye was in Driver. Trouble Man is a personal favorite of mine. Good job spotting the connection to GTAIV stations. I'm going to add a few more (San Juan Sounds, JNR, W-JAH) when I have the time to put together a proper list of songs for them. I really think you need some differentiation between the LCPD and the NASP. I'm sure they'd have different tactics and cultures, that would help differentiate between them. I'll be honest, I know next to nothing about New Jersey police (even the 70s cruisers were ridiculously hard to find), so any suggestions you have will be more than welcome. "Another One" (DJ Khaled's Voice) Great so far, man.

Cebra Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Nice to see this up and running, Tyla. The characters look interesting and the presentation is superb as usual. I gotta admit, I love the grit a 70s setting offers and there's no better battleground than New York for the period because there was nothing particularly glamorous about it. The idealism of the '60s was long gone by '78 and the place was literally a sh*thole. I can't wait for the storyline.

[...] Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wow, you're back! You weren't here for a while. Now then, I've read the greater part of this concept and I'm very curious how it'd look as an actual video game. I conjecture that the most important part of the storyline will take place in Alderney, right?

ChoosyCircle Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If it starts in 60s would the radio station system update, i.e. When the 70's came would new stations be added as the 70s welcomed a lot of genres such as gothic rock which would be cool in Liberty city. I don't know if you've already said this, I read through the post yesterday, and it was amazing, but when it's all crammed on a phone with no quick scroll it'd take a while to find it so I haven't went back to check if this is already a thing Tyla and Ivan1997GTA 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/864583-gta-liberty-city-1978/#findComment-1068993991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Juan Sounds is gonna play latin jazz music, isn't it? I've got to stop popping out for pints of milk! You could be right about Alderney. I think we should see The Lost at their prime (after the Vietnam War), Jimmy Pegorino's father, plus powerful Cuban, Italian and Irish gangs. Two major characters have mansions in Alderney where missions are given out, plus the abandoned Alderney casino should be active and opened. Not to give PhillBellic a heart-attack, but I'm also pretty sure the U.S. government stationed anti-aircraft missiles in Jersey during the 70s, so I would love to do the same with Alderney and the state to have a bigger role that feels separated from Liberty City. We actually had a prog-rock station but for some reason I scrapped it.

That said, I think I would like to add an early hip-hop station that would appear on the radio dial after the famous Liberty City blackout, just as a homage to how hip-hop originated. Imagine the gameplay to be like the riot missions of San Andreas or the blackout mission from The Warriors... everyone going crazy and looting, just taking out their frustrations with the city out on everything around them. Even with three protagonists, it would have a massive effect for each. Edited October 11, 2021 by Tyla Removed old Youtube links that were breaking the thread.

ChoosyCircle Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hi tyla, did reply on my Detroit concept if you want more info,the response is on page 3 on the concept, but as I breifly said on the reply, the is great. Liberty city in the 60s/70s is definitely something I want to see happen, I normally am after a modern vice city (ik it's bad wanting modern vice city) and I normally say to my freinds how awful it would be now with gta online going back in time, as now it's over 10 years since SA and VC, and i can imagine how bad it would go with the new generation of players, you know, playing in 70s cars nothing like a t20, and no nice penthouse or yacht, but this would change my mind, I would come back in time to play this great game Good job Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/864583-gta-liberty-city-1978/#findComment-1068996764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Money Man Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Daaaamnn Tyla, back at it again with those great concepts. Where do I even start with this one Usually people give us some vague scraps of a story to try and sink our teeth into but you've given us a full banquet and then some right off the bat. And even then I can tell you're only scratching the surface. It really would have been a shame to see all of ideas you and Akaviri had go to waste so I'm really glad you decided to pursue this one and give us all something to get excited about. Is this a concept you plan to fully flesh out with full missions etc. or is it just a case of you wanting to show the community some of the great ideas that you guys had? The main reason I ask it that with three different protagonists involved it seems like it could be one hell of an undertaking. It also begs the question, have you given up on Vice City?? I most certainly hope not.

Liver Buster Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Taking the fact that 1978 was quite a busy year for Liberty City as shown in LCPD Database, this concept sheds too much potential already (of course, as a well-meaning prequel on the top of all). The first thing that drew my attention is seeing some familiar faces around: like a younger but not-much-young Jon Gravelli and his glorified uncle Sonny Cangelosi. Of course, there is Mr. Forge, the deranged father of later crack kingpin Dwayne Forge. Future LCPD commissioner Mitt Fitzsimmons taking over-the-top approach to sweep the streets off the dirt. Father of troubled McReary boys Jack McReary and his idealist son Derrick. Dreamer mook John Pegorino, most probably the father to no other than James Pegorino. Fierce Lupisella hitman Sonny Honorato... and also I take it that war hero Clinton may be the same Clinton from GTA V? Moreover, I see some familiar characters from your VI: Vice City concept too; like Albert de Alquizar and John Ross. Taking a wild guess, I might be judgmentally free to say that these two games would be tied in a one way or two... I can kill to see Gara receiving that brutal treatment from Sonny Honorato for scamming his family together with Big Jack, as mentioned during a certain dialogue with Cherry (I sounded like a masochist maniac a little but... ). Although I don't have much knowledge on Italian-American mafia, I guess that Roy DeMare is a cartoon of Roy DeMeo, the notoriously happy-triggered Gambino made man.
