I like the effort put in to capture sites other than downtown and midtown Manhattan, as all too often these two areas get the most attention when it comes to presenting NYC to outsiders.
First of all, thank you so much for making this video. I appreciate your effort. Rotterdam Hill Promenade 6:35 is my favorite place in the game and I had always wanted to know how the real counterpart look like. Thanks to you, this is the first time I see it. I'm very disappointed that the real one is so different from the game but again, thank you for making this video.
Incredible job on this, you really know your home town! I could kind of do something like this for the TV show King of the Hill as much of it was based off my hometown of Austin. TX, but it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting or at all video game related. 😁 I had this in my watch queue back when it was one very large video a week or so back, glad to see them coming back out… 👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch. I had to break it down, because it ended up being overkill for potential viewers. Whether it's a big city, small town, or something in between, it's always cool to see a fictionalized representation of something in your neck of the woods.
Thanks! Unfortunately a GTA San Andreas or Part V Comparison video is too difficult for me to pull off, as it would require too much time for me to visit LA and navigation is tougher, as I don't like to drive.
Nice, the game developers did a great job of recreating Brooklyn for the fictional Broker town 😄Also, have you ever played Tru Crime: New York City? It was released around the time of this game (though it was only Manhattan) 🗽
The area around Coney Island was most impressive. I have True Crime: New York City, though I have put little time into it. I should in the near future.
Wow awesome vid! Your hearing must be fucked from living in there tho, such extremely loud city that's crazy. Those trains in the sky, definitely a bad idea 😂
@@NeoTurboManiac78 I can't even imagine that but I bet you are. I am from a village of 300 people, can you imagine that? 😀 it must be pretty cool tho to walk down the street in a video game which is actually down the street from you ;-)
@@borekstvorek One of the in-game locations, which is not a site known to the masses, is close to where I live. I was impressed they included such locations that only locals would likely know about.
Enjoy your upcoming trip to New York. To bestow upon you my NYC wisdom: Always move with a purpose. Do not block any entrances, exits, stairways, etc. Never order food from a cart that does not post their prices. They could easily charge you whatever they want. Riding the subway in NYC is not as complicated as some people make it. The signage and maps provide plenty of guidance to get you to where you need to go. When waiting for a train to arrive, wait for it at the center of the platform. Our subway trains are referred to by letter or number, not by color. There's common sense stuff like being aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
4:33 - the "Wonder Wheel" -- in 2005, RockStar Games had created "The Warriors" video game; an adaptation of the classic 1979 street gang action/drama film by director Walter Hill; it was based on Sol Yurick's 1965 novel ("The Warriors"); knives, baseball bats, guns; different ethnic (Asian, Latinos) & gender groups, including the Lizzies, an all-female gang (think of the 'Switchblade Sisters (1975, by filmmaker, Jack Hill)". two cult classics, imo. Jack Hill had directed a bad @$$ 70's blaxploitation star, Pam Grier ("Foxy Brown" and "Coffy").
