>it's a "NYC is only Midtown" episode
Why are devs so lazy? Every game set in NYC seems to either be only in Midtown or Manhattan with Midtown-like buildings all over the island.
Because the island makes a perfect map barrier.

My point was that Midtown is the most overused, culturally dead area of Manhattan. Lower and upper Manhattan are much more interesting in their architecture and layout.

>playing GTA1 as a kid
>realize liberty city is basically NYC
>go to the ingame version of my neighborhood
>see that it's just a few streets that looks nothing like it
That was my first experience with profound disappointment.

It's ironic that while Watch Dogs had no personality, my friend found his apartment building in the game.
GTA IV basically didn't have an East Village/Lower East Side.

Spider-man Ps4 is appearently 4-6 times bigger than sunset overdrive.
I doubt that is just midtown.

Sunset Overdrive didn't have a huge map but that's pretty good, should cover 1:1 Manhattan at least, would be nice if it had Brooklyn, Queens, etc but I understand there's not enough skyscrapers for Spidey to swing from.

How is comparing it to a game no one played supposed to help?

Just to give scale to their only other Open world game.
