GTA on DS

[pilotwangs]

Very good news,for me anyway.
Though i think ill be sticking to GTA 4.

Well according to DSfanboy it'll use a new game engine & Kotaku say its out this Christmas, if that is true than screens soon.

 

[Mangofett]

I hope its like the GTA 2 on PSX, that was my favorite one.

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Better be 3d, please ?

 

[test84]

we are talking about 73MHz CPU and you demand it be 3D?
Our best bet is 2D but I dont think they will let us enjoy GTA in 2D.

 

[Hadrian]

No full 3D please, 3rd person 3D with the DS d-pad does not really work well at all and just hurts my thumbs.

Full 3D = smaller game world.

If they made a GTA that felt like the very first PC release through DMA design, I would be really happy.

 

[Calafas]

Whey, can't wait for this release, hopefully it's good, and has good free-roam on it, cause whilst GTA missions are ok, I usually just play for the free-roam.

They could totally surprise us and use the DS to its fullest, making the game stylus-controlled, ala Dragon Sword / Phantom Hourglass. That I would love.

If I had to guess, though, I'd say it's going to be fully 3D. The press release said the game will be free-roaming, and making a large city with all hand-drawn art doesn't sound like the obvious choice. Of course, again ala Dragon Sword, I wouldn't mind a mix of the two -- 3D and 2D graphics. It would probably allow for a lot more to be done with no slowdown and no need to make the place look barren. Again, it comes down to who is at the helm, how much freedom they have and all that,

I really hope it, I want another good game for the DS !

 

[tinymonkeyt]

oh wow. this is good news
chinatown wars lol.
wonder if it'll function like the first 2 ones (top down view). i didnt really like that
third person would be good

 

[pasc]

I hope it will be both, 3D and 2D like GTA III, I love that !

 

[ackers]

GTA on DS? Surely this can't be good?

Will it be 18 rated? Are any DS games 18 rated?

Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Dementium: The Ward

So far Dementium is the only one that has sold well hence why we don't get many mature titles but GTA should do very well.

 

[Satangel]

Yeah, it's GTA for Gods sake
Everyone knows that series.
Even if it sucks, it will sell.

 

[pasc]

It won't suck, since they announced it... do you think Nintendo would announce crap ? I mean, was there any game on any e3 announced by nintendo that was full crap ?

ah and hadrian...:

The game will feature a brand new engine (hopefully ditching the top-down view) and will take place in Liberty City -- the flagship location of the GTA series. If you played GTAIII and IV, you will have trekked through Chinatown (the awesomest place ever), and more of the high-fighting action in Chinatown Wars will be fantastic. Coming this winter, like, a few months away!

seems dsfanboy is as clueless as we are.

with nothing!

Apparently it will have Wi-fi connection of some sort..

 

[tinymonkeyt]

oooh. wifi. i hope its not something stupid..

 

[CockroachMan]

It's 2008.. it's on the DS.. I doubt this will be in 2D..

 

[Deletable_Man]

Hoping for a 3D engine as good as the Tony Hawk DS titles. Then it would be pretty excellent.
