That's 06/15..

Rockstar usually takes more time to release their games..

Who said they didn't work secretly to drop the bomb now unlike the GBA GTA ?

BTW, to all these nonbelievers... the gba is able to deliver this:



Now imagine what the DS could do with the same effort putten in (pocketeers ?) ?

So , I'm going to list a few things ...


First of , the cars are Sprites. Rockstar would never make something like this because the collisionsystem would be shit.
Then ... there are no passengers. Oh and theres only one single car. Also the environment is extremly empty. Just some walls and single houses. :\

And now Sherlock think again, why did I show you this ? Oh, right, because it is... you guessed it : GBA !

The DS would be able to pull of much more amazing stuff if done correctly, but aside from Big N themselves, Square Enix and Team Ninja nobody did good DS 3D Graphics.

BTW: did you play Brothers in Arms ? How much stuff is going on there ? Much ? Yeah, so even Ubisofts internal Gameloft could do such a thing, just with less people than the console version.

Yes , I played it. It is indeed a quite good game and the grapics are pretty good. But... You still forget how much friggin' stuff happens in GTA. I modded each game from GTA 3 to GTA SA , and I've played both PSP games. And I know how much things the engine needs to do so. Brothers in arms is a WW2 FPS not a Theft Simulator. There's not half as much going onscreen then on GTA.

Maybe GTA would be possible on the DS. It would suck. It would be extremly watered down and because of that reason the gameplay would suck to. Because without much traffic and stuff the world doesn't looks to living.

Meh. This was my last post in this thread. Continue on hoping for you game , but don't cry if it isn't coming.

@the next post.

Till now no game pushed the NDS to the limits. At least not completely.I'm really missing a game with good physics on the DS , but that's probably due that most developers use HAVOK or other ready-to-use physic engines.

Don't worry, I won't ^^, its just a game after all. I don't really like it because "oMZGS iT'S the GTA " I would want to see it more from a technical standpoint, I really would wanna know how far the DEVS can push the DS to it's limits, or do you want to tell me that there is any game out there pushing the DS to the max ?

This will aswell be MY last post, farwell

Now that i think about it is possible, the engine that is.

Okay here are my deductations:

We know that the ds can handle up to 2000 polygons. And the best textures for the job are 64x64

Now lets count the models. If they are able to make a 150 poly for each cars.
Make the maximum cars in the screen only 8. (1200polys)
Now say the scenery + particles are (500polys)
Now seeing that a modelled human is quite hard to implement in this game, We all now see that a billboarded sprite(imagine doom) is way better.
With this we can insert 20 sprites/human per screen. ( 40polys)

If gotten right it would look like asphalt.

It's possible but very unlikely IMO.


The DS could handle a GTA game but they wouldn't call it GTAIV. It would be GTA:lite or something with a similar perspective as gta1&2.

Asphalt Urban GT 2 is almost nothing like GTA. Only similarities are cars and a cop or 2. It has very linear tracks, not free roam cities.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
