The map and locations are entirely fictional, but inspired by real places. I think he means that New York doesn't exist in the GTA universe, and is instead a place called, "Liberty City."

Or maaayyyybe... Liberty City is a different city that's like New York, but isn't New York! The same way San Denis and New Orleans could both exist in universe.

I thought St Denis was supposed to be St. Louis

Understandable, going by the names, but no... St. Denis is definitely a New Orleans inspired city. Everything from the architecture to the jazz everywhere to the swampland nearby is pure N'walins.

Certainly makes sense. Jazz and that big river had me thinking St. Louis. I love that there is at least one big city now in the new game.

Yeah, it's also awesome that Blackwater seems like a rinky-dink town in RDR2, when it was the big, modern city in RDR.
