Since the site has been up for a wee while now, I thought I'd go ahead and ask... Have you guys inferred what this picture is all about?

It looks similar to the prologue act where the shootout between Jonathan and the masked bomber takes place. Am I correct? :razz:

That's what I thought, too.

Correct! This was taken in New York City, at 188-190 Grand Street. The Policenauts team used this street as the basis for Jonathan's street in Old LA.

Big thanks to benfmv for bringing this to light, and to Duo for the actual photo. More info can be found at Ben's site (http://fullmotionvideo.free.fr/pc98/art ... nauts.html).

Ahhh, so it was Duo who took the photograph. Very good.

I can imagine the makers of Policenauts were fans of LA then, and did a little research beforehand. (Likewise for Yu Suzuki whom toured Hong Kong before making Shenmue II).

I wonder what gave them the idea to go with a portuguese name for Circo Porto :O
Anyway, it seems that in Konami the game creators use lots of real-life pics for reference (aa... Silent Hill... <3).
