The briefing
Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale make up the city navigated by Claude.
GTA III introduces the city through island-by-island progression. Gang relationships change how safe familiar areas feel, so a route learned early in the story can become more dangerous later.
Liberty City Stories revisits the setting in 1998. Comparing the games reveals changes over time, but GTA IV’s HD city should be treated as a separate interpretation rather than the next phase of this exact map.
