The building doesn’t look that much bigger that it does in real life, from the few screenshots we’ve been privvy to. I’m looking at a photo I took back in 2003, and the scale looks alright.
As for the pavement, it’s just pavement, I just care about the station.
Looking back at some photos I took in 2005, and that I visited the firehouse last month…
Just looks too big to me. (I’m 5’9 1/2")
I’ll certainly agree that the walls either side of the arch look a little wider, but this may have been a change based on implementing the interior from the LA Firehouse in the NY exterior.
But we shall see how things develop between now and the game release. Hopefully we’ll see more shots of the Firehouse between then and now.
I’d agree with that… considering that the interior might be larger than the NY firehall, they needed to “compromise” as far as accuracy.
