^That looks great! Much better than I would have thought. I'm looking forward to this one. It should be a bit of a different GTA experience than the others.

 

[tinymonkeyt]

It looks like a mix between GTA 2 and the later ones and that's just the way I want it.

 

[GeekyGuy]

Well...no. Actually, it's going to be fully polygonal and 3D, but from an isometric perspective -- at least, that's my understanding. So, kind of a similar view to the one in Phantom Hourglass, though judging by the screenies, a little more toward the topside than the backside.

 

[pasc]

pretty good lookin.

But you're saying same feeling, he's saying it will be different...

 

[Opium]

^I think he means that he has the same sentiments as me. Not that this GTA will be the same as the others.

I have both the PSP GTA's. I know the PSP can pull off an experience near identical to the PS2 versions. So I was hoping that the DS wouldn't try and do that same experience, because it simply doesn't have the raw power to pull it off. The way this one looks is that it'll make good use of the DS's strengths. Cell-shaded works extremely well on the DS. Just look at Tony Hawk American Sk8tland or Zelda PH. The touch screen stuff and map on the bottom screen should be great.

oh man, not to be a hatter but i expected way better, a almost full 3d game with the orignal GTA view....

oh well i am still looking forward it..

 

[jalaneme]

i knew it would be like gta 2 on the ps1, it's still alright as the graphics look ok i guess.

edit: more screenshots here

 

[Mr. Waffle]

Crap it uses top screen....
Remind me to get a new NDS before it's released!!

 

[Hit]

Wouldn't have expected this crappy quality form Rockstar it's a shame

 

[shakirmoledina]

Hit i think it's too early to say this is gonna be the actual quality but the screens depict the right angle and graphics of the game
U can see both jalaneme and irpacynot screens are different as they are from different sources but u can see the angle being the same it's only the quality thats a little different...

 

[CockroachMan]

oh man, not to be a hatter but i expected way better, a almost full 3d game with the orignal GTA view....

oh well i am still looking forward it..

From the screenshots.. this IS a full 3d game with the original GTA view..
