Apparently there is a hot Sony Playstation video game coming to market soon called Liberty City. Well today pictures of a detailed Liberty City Transport Authority map was made public. The map details two islands sitting in their equivalent of the East River.
[I later learned that the game is actually Grand Theft Auto IV.]
One island, Colony Island, has two subway lines crossing through it. The other, Charge Island, has no such mass transit option, from what I see, but for two bridges connecting it to Algonquin (the game’s Manhattan) and also to Broker (the games Queens / Brooklyn equivalent).
I’d like to think in this virtual world that Roosevelt Island is the one with the subway connection. If we take a step backwards and Charge Island is supposed to be Roosevelt Island I want to protest. It would be terrible if we get even less respect from the subway in the virtual world.
Can anybody answer this question?

It certainly looks to me like Colony Island is equivalent to Roosevelt Island, while Charge Island corresponds to Randall's/Ward's Island.
ReplyDeleteSo a subway line passes through the Roosevelt Island analog, but it appears not to stop there...

ReplyDeletethis island was a great place to live when there were just the wire buildings. but now . it s,,,ks. i wish these new people would move elswhere. thats why the rents are so high.
ReplyDeleteThe bridge that passes over it has E-Train transfering to a subway under the road deck, but there is no station on the island, the only way to get to the island is over Leaper's Bridge, the Algonquin bridge goes over it.
