GTA 4 on Google Maps - Image 1


About a week ago, we put up some Game Informer scans which contained new information about the much-awaited PS3 and Xbox 360 game, Grand Theft Auto 4. Among the details that were discussed in those scans was why the new Liberty City which will be the venue in the game, will be based on a carbon copy of New York City.

Well, for those who are still doubting that the new Liberty City is REALLY directly based on the Big Apple, then check out what Google Maps has got to say about that. Basically, some kind soul has taken the map of New York, and from there, pointed out landmarks which can be found in the game. On top of pointing out the landmarks, whoever made the map has also included the Liberty City counterpart of the said buildings or monuments. For example, clicking on the marker for the Statue of Liberty will reveal that in the game, it is known as the Statue of Happiness.

There are also several guesses that are on the map, including a theory on whether JFK airport will be included in the game.

Anyway, check it out via the source link that we included below, and tell us if you've got any theories of your own.

PS3 versus X360 versus Wii

What’s the biggest question in gaming industry? - Which will win in this next-gen console war: PS3, X360 or Wii? This is absolutely the winner.
