Watch as digital Steve Buscemi's Nucky Thompson looms ominously over the Atlantic City coast while copious bottles of hooch wash ashore.

It's not quite the same, as the closest digital approximation GTA5 can make to Steve Buscemi's distinctive face ends up looking more like his co-star Michael Pitt, but it still matches the tone, if not the specifics.
