I'm a New Yorker (26 years) and a fan of the GTA series.
NYC for those of you who don't live in it is EXPANSIVE...I'm anxious just to see if driving from Queens to Manhattan on the 59th Street bridge or the Midtown tunnel is modeled perfectly into the game. I'll also be impressed if the drive from Queens to Staten Island is equally detailed.
I can't imagine how good Broadway/Times Square will be. I'd also be happy to see if the developers plant major traffic "during rush hours"
I should be able to steal a plane and fly across all 5 boros rather than drive these routes. If it is true that jets are left out, I'll be sorely dissapointed. For the developers to leave out airplanes because of September 11th - which would most likely mean that Laguardia Airport and JFK aren't included - is STUPID.
There are going to be helicopters, but no planes. I'm pretty positive 9/11 has nothing to do with it, though. I saw in an article that there's no point to planes because there is no terrain other than the city. I could be wrong, but just because it's NYC, I wouldn't automatically assume it's because of Sep. 11th.
