IGN has an exclusive interview with Hamish Brown, head of PR for Rockstar UK, and GTA product manager Hugh Michaels about that little-known title called Grand Theft Auto IV, with plenty of nice screenshots as well:
IGN: You’ve just showed a 15 minute walkthrough of GTA IV. How much of Liberty City have we seen in that time?
Hamish Brown: We’ve only showed one small area of Broker, which is our version of Brooklyn. When you take into account we’ve got four of the five boroughs, plus we’ve got Aldernay, which is our version of part of New Jersey, it’s absolutely huge. Algonquin is our version of Manhattan, Broker is Brooklyn, Dukes is Queens, Alderney is New Jersey and there’s Bohan, which is the Bronx. The only one we’re not doing is Staten Island because it’s very similar to the others and didn’t really offer anything new aesthetically.
In terms of footprint, it’s the biggest city we’ve ever done but if you walk from one side to the other it’s not going to be as big San Andreas. When we say it’s big in terms of scope we’re taking into account all the detail within that city and also the verticality of it. There are some huge buildings in the game, some of which you’ll be able to go up - although not all of them.”
This game is looking hotter and hotter, if that were possible.
