What do you mean by that? If you mean vehicles and city formats, the vehicles in the GTA IV Era are modern-day models of vehicles. You know that vehicle models are changing every year and decade. As for the cities, Rockstar could have made up something. Like what if GTA 3 Era Liberty City was destroyed by an earthquake and that's how it looks like how it is in the GTA IV Era. Something like that.

Okay, the city part sounds stupid, but give me some credit for that. :P
