Liberty City, which was the setting for GTA3 and 4, was not supposed to replace GTA5's Los Santos or Blaine County, but appear across the sea. The idea behind Liberty City in GTA5 was, as you'd expect, to put Rockstar's fictional recreation of New York inside its latest game, GTA5. 'If you are wondering what is next, well, we are currently revising our plans for the future.' Liberty City mod is a big loss for us, since it was a huge part of our motivation to push OpenIV functionality. Then onto Liberty City in GTA5: 'Unfortunately, our highly anticipated mod Liberty City in GTA5 will not be released because it clearly contradicts with Rockstar modding policy. 'Our work will be continued within the Rockstar modding policy.' 'OpenIV never supported GTA Online modding and will not support it in the future,' the statement reads. In a post on the GTAForums, the OpenIV team said the development of OpenIV would continue as before. The bad news is the ambitious mod project Liberty City in GTA5 has been forced to shut down. OpenIV, which many consider to be the most important GTA-related mod project around, has been allowed to continue after Take-Two lawyers issued its creators a cease and desist last month. There's good news and bad news in the world of Grand Theft Auto 5 modding.
