Gaming GTA Chinatown Wars graphics

[quim69]

Not a fan of the GTA series, but the first two were by far the best of the series. After number 3 it got a big "blergh!" - just another generic 3rd person action game.

I wouldn't say generic...

GTA 2 was just filled with a bunch of missions, it didn't have much of the sandbox gameplay that most people prefer.

Yes, I never got into number two either. The first one I liked most. Then the 3D ones have sort of an equal standing with me.

graphics are poor. the screenshots are bigger than the screen itself. so maybe it will be good at a ds' screen size.

Some new info:

- Camera can swivel 360 degrees
- Trains will pass overhead in the city, cars will circle, pedestrians will be walking, etc.
- GPS seen on the touch screen while you move through the city
- PDA allows you to gain access to the map with more details as well as the goals of missions
- You can mark points that you want and the GPS will always tell you the shortest legal route to the destination with yellow or blue arrows
- New discoveries (such as gas stations) are added to the map
- Top screen brings you all the action, while the lower screen will let you control elements like the PDA, GPS, the radio, access to the people on the map, or using Motolov cocktails and grenades.
- Drugs have a big importance in the game
- Drug system can be compared to Drugwars
- You have to control the stock of drugs, buy them in one neighborhood and sell them in another - Good way to make money in the game
- You are given a map so that you know what people demand and at what prices
- Like other GTA games, in Chinatown Wars, you can catch a taxi - whistle into the microphone so the taxi will stop

the graphics don't look crap. and it doesn't matter about the fact even if they did.
Its the game. Just hope it won't kill itself.

Im really hyped about this. I loved gta2 and london .. i hope it doesnt disapoint!

I figure that when you'll see the game in motion it will look much better.
Still I think this isn't what GTA should be. Today the experience is all about BEING the character, identifying with him, experiencing a virtual world that's big and versatile. With San Andreas I really had that feeling. I spent hours upon hours just trying things, shooting people, stealing cars. I hardly got into the missions because I liked the free roaming so much.

I think without even having played the DS version I can tell this is going to be a dissapointment. Off course the IP alone is enough to sell like crazy, but personally I think they should not call this a GTA game, because the franchise has evolved too much. I remember playing the GBA version where I constantly had to tell myself I was actually playing a Grand Theft Auto game, because I was constantly forgetting that that was the case.

To be honest I'm not even mildly interested in this game.

I hear you, but I wouldn't agree at all..You know why, because I'm a GTA player from the first two sequels! After GTA got 3D, I stopped playing it, couldn't get into it at all....I couldn't "feel" like I'm a character, and with first two I got that feeling..

Also, I think if they did it in full 3D with the third person view, I doubt that we would have big city and that it could work nice without slowdowns..Not with all the random persons walking around and traffic..
I think they couldn't decide better to go with the graphics..

 

[ShiningSaber]

aww. I guess the graphics were OK.
I was hoping for it to look a little bit like GTA II, where it was trying to look realistic, and it's buildings were 3d.

 

[JPdensetsu]

This looks great, now I'm currently playing it on my PSP

 

[Antihero2007]

This is exactly how I was hoping the game would look. No complaints from me.

I hope it has the "Violence Factor". If they didnt have blood violence etc. Itd be a fair seller.

I like this part

 

[Raestloz]

A shame it might be the only way you can utilize your mic....

Wait a minute... do I have to whistle at all? Will a clap be enough?

Also, do you think we'll get the bribe icon like VCS?

yeah, they have put drugs into the game, but probably the drugs are coffee, glue and cigarettes, cuz u know how nintendo is, kiddish, we dont want kids with violence and stuff..

Look at some of the newer screenshots, the drugs in this game are REAL drugs like coke, weed, heroin
