In today's newspaper there is a 2 page article about the recent use of NYC in video games. The title is "Yo, what are you looking at? New vid games get real with New York." It mentions Tycoon City-NY, King Kong, True Crime, and The Warriors! The small piece has a picture of Rembrandt at the Wonder Wheel and the gang on the subway with Mercy. See below;

" Based on the 1979 cult classic of the same name about gang warfare, "The Warriors" - from Rock Star Games, the video game studio behind the popular and controversial "Grand Theft Auto" franchise - re-creates late-'70s New York City, graffiti tags and all.

Designers and programmers spent months researching real-life photos and movie stills to get "every element of the city right - from realistic background textures to elements like streetlights, manhole covers and storefronts," said the game's producer, Jeronimo Barrera.

Neighborhoods like SoHo, Coney Island and Chinatown were rendered with storefront signs and residents that look much different from each other. The common denominator: Every district is full of bat-wielding, anti-social riffraff."

For a second I thought, wow some new production photos, then rememebered it was about the game, so would be screenshots!! On another note, in one of the game trailers, it shows the Cyclone rollercoaster, but I didn't see that shot in the game. Any ideas where that shot is in the game?
