Liberty City/New York Landmarks

In the Grand Theft Auto series, the cities have always had references to real places but each version is changing the face of the city as its counterpart, retaining some point of reference in every single version that changed. For example, Liberty City has been the city with more updates in the saga and has been preserved in all its versions, the equivalent of Central Park from the first to the last version.

Liberty City

As mentioned, Liberty City is the city with more versions based on New York City. The following table showing the different appearances of this city:

• The tables above show only the points of interest that have appeared least twice in the versions of Liberty City.

New Jersey

Like New York, New Jersey also shows places of interest (not in Liberty City) here in New Guernsey and Alderney mainly, as in parts of Shoreside Vale. The difference between the above places is that New Guernsey NJ (name and geography are very similar to NJ) would be part of Liberty City (1) by their size and Shoreside Vale is based elsewhere (and not primarily in NJ), however Alderney is a state based entirely on NJ and independent of Liberty City as well as is its real counterpart NY.
