9 GTA IV trailer rumors debunked

The gaming world goes into speculation overdrive and we pick up the pieces

Rumor #4
Liberty City won't be the only city...

This all depends on whether the creators are going for hugely detailed microcosm or a more sparsely detailed macrocosm. Will they concentrate on populating Liberty City with thousands of breakable people, vehicles, shops, businesses and houses or will they think bigger and risk creating a lot of unopenable doors and flat textured store fronts? We think smaller and more detailed over bigger and less detailedis the key here.

The spanner in the works is the fact the lad in the trailer opens up the possibility of a European connection - something not properly tackled in the series since GTA: London. The trailer could in fact be a huge teaser for a much bigger game spanning the Atlantic. You never know - the next trailer might show the Eiffel Tower or Big Ben.

Chances of the rumor being true:
We're not writing it off yet.

Rumor #6
The entire Liberty City subway system will be at your disposal...

This seems fair-dos. In GTA 3 and San Andreas you had limited use of a train system - it seems like a logical progression to open this up to cover longer distances like Coney Island to the Bronx. Similarly, the Ferry Port makes an appearance at the beginning of the trailer so we'll be sorely disappointed if we can't captain an ocean liner into an Iceberg at some point.

Chances of the rumor being true:
Sounds pretty likely to us.
