GTA on DS

[754boy]

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

Transformers DS had a damn good 3D engine too, and it was open world too.

 

[Trippy]

If it's not the crappy overhead view and if its in 3d, it will be cool (hopefully).

 

[OrR]

Honestly, can you see GTA running on a DS?
No doubt it's going to be awful.

Pocketeers had a very convincing demo for 3D GTA on the GBA back in the middle of it's lifetime. With Rockstar's resources good 3D GTA on the DS should not only be possible, it should be EASY.

Well I'd maybe like a top-down view look more, transformers were kinda cool but so much had to be sacrificed, traffic, detail, lots of stuff.
Payback for the GBA was great, but still it might turn out to be 3rd person, however if that's the case I'm kinda afraid how it's gonna turn out.

If Rockstar is doing it.. and they're putting some good effort on it, yeas I can see it.. and I don't see how can this go wrong.

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

Perhaps you can trade skanks over the Nintendo WFC?

(My apologies in advance to the female Tempers for the crude humor...I just couldn't help myself, since it's GTA, after all.)

According to IGN, the game is being developed by the same team that made the PSP GTA games.. which by the way are the same people that made that GBA Max Payne game

meh, not looking foward to it as much as spore DS, or finally answering bruce dickensens (sp?) prairs and giving the wii moar cowbell.

 

[DeMoN]

The Wi-Fi logo can be applied very loosely. Just look at FF3 and FF:CC.

Hopefully the online mode for this doesn't suck. In fact, let's hope that this game itself doesn't suck. I'm still a bit uneasy about GTA on a Nintendo system after playing GTA Advance.

Yeah, GTA Advance sure sucked IMHO.
What a stupid game, it just didn't work for me.

"chinatown wars" just sounds retarded

agreed, it could be gang multiplayer stuff with wifi included, i just want a standard gta game on the ds, not multiplayer online crap, gta 4 just shows that the gta series cannot work online full stop.

I'm expecting a lot of stereotypes and thus a lot of offended Chinese people.

 

[VISHI SO FISHI]

lol its does sound retarded ..

i would have liked if they made a remake of liberty sotries on ds

 

[pasc]

Anyway, I just realized, it MUST be 3D ! They announced that they were:

- gonna use the Touchscreen (I can only think the Touchscreen to aim in 3D, no use with a 2D GTA)
- use a new Engine (pretty much only useful in 3D again, since the 2D Topdown ones had perfect engines for their time)
- the DS can do it.

What do you think ? Convinced ?

 

[Curley5959]

Yeah I guess unless you use the touch screen to tap on screen and the 2d above person walks to it..

I hope i t is 3D but I have my doubts, But I guess you have to be optimistic.. They did it with Transformers DS, didnt they?? And it was good

From the WiiCast blog:

"Nintendo and Rockstar have teamed up to bring Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to the DS. Rockstar intends to bring the GTA experience to a Nintendo console, and make the gameplay fresh by utilizing the DS’s unique features. Players will allegedly navigate through the streets using the touch screen, for example. Rockstar doesn’t intend to make the game more casual for DS, either. The company claims that the Grand Theft Auto for DS will continue to have the trademark depth the franchise is known for."

If true, that's good news, as far as I'm concerned.

This.

It can't be any worse than the current console GTA's.
