Years later, GTA Four gamers uncover a scrapped ferry transportation system.
GTA 4, like most games within the sequence, allowed gamers entry to all types of land, air and water autos. But one sort of transportation particularly was seemingly minimize forward of launch.
That being ferries. YouTuber Badger Goodger went digging for references to this scrapped transportation system within the game’s present ports and docks, and located sufficient proof to recommend that Rockstar had at one level thought-about having a purposeful ferry system.
This all begins with a GTA Four trailer that confirmed a ferry docked at a terminal in Alderney, one thing that doesn’t present up within the ultimate game. That terminal exists within the game, but it surely’s deserted. Despite that, you’ll be able to nonetheless discover NPCs spawn there as if it was every other populated location within the game.
That mentioned, upon first inspection, Badger Goodger wasn’t capable of finding every other comparable terminals throughout the assorted Liberty City islands. Realistically, we must always at the least have one terminal in Algonquin throughout the water, which might function the principle port that connects Liberty City with Alderney.
So the YouTuber went in search of proof of every other public ferry terminals within the metropolis.
After analyzing the sides of the Algonquin island, he got here throughout a spot that seems to have been used as a terminal in some unspecified time in the future. It has gaps vast sufficient for automobiles and pedestrians to board the ferries, and even cops standing guard – two sights widespread throughout the game’s varied transportation hubs.
The constructing itself is inaccessible by regular means, however glitching by means of it reveals an early try at designing an inside. The participant character notably doesn’t clip by means of the ground, which implies – in contrast to most buildings you’ll be able to glitch by means of – this one had a objective.
Rounding all of it out is the invention of a ferry icon you’ll be able to nonetheless discover within the game’s information, which doesn’t truly present up on the map. This was doubtless made to level gamers to the totally different ferry terminals, for an in-development system that made use of these autos.
