Grand Theft Auto for DS!

Sean P Kelly · 07-19-2008, 12:53 PM

Finally a topic that fits (unlike a certain one)

I'm very curious on how GTA: Chinatown Wars is going to be, especially since all we have right now is a name.

All that I could gather so far is:

It's still an open ended "sandbox" game
It will use some sort of touch-screen control
The story involves the Triads
The game will use Wi-Fi connection

See Joker's Sig for answer.

I'm excited. The use of wi-fi is going to be awesome. (Better get a wifi adaptor quick!)

1-up Salesman · 07-31-2008, 10:22 PM

Oh NO....

Seeking Attention is passe · 07-31-2008, 11:11 PM

How is this a bad thing?

1-up Salesman · 08-04-2008, 11:34 PM

I don't care for Grand Theft Auto

***The Doctor*** · 08-05-2008, 05:48 AM

*bitchslaps 1-up Salesman* when why read a topic about it.

Minukelsus · 08-05-2008, 01:49 PM

^ Yeah that's a good point Doc. Why post/read a topic if it doesn't interest you!

Well anyway I'm actually excited. Though I may import a copy myself.

Minukelsus · 08-11-2008, 05:53 AM

^ Then hope no more, for I imported it.

Just haven't found the sweet time to give it a wee bash, yet!

Read a long time ago that R* was planning for the Nintendo systmes, but they talked about the Wii not the DS, but im positively surprised bout this.

Lets hope its a great game to.

Now I can rob hookers on the road. YAAAY

Isometric is better than a top-down perspective, but half of me wishes they tried to mimic the 3rd Person GTA games.

The game will probably end up looking like a bit like the Max Payne game for GBA (with better graphics):

Sean P Kelly · 10-07-2008, 04:37 PM

Screenshots have started surfacing.

Kind of looks like a mix between the original GTA games and a comic book.

Mr. Ginger BALLZ · 10-19-2008, 06:36 PM

hahahahahhalolololoolloo for ds no way but i beleive it

Sean P Kelly · 02-10-2009, 08:33 PM

I've been reading some positive previews for the same, but I just wish they posted some videos because it's really hard to tell what the game's like by just the screenshots.

Panfan · 02-10-2009, 09:11 PM

I'm not a huge GTA fan, but I'm excited to see how this turns out.

I jsut have to say that it look awfuly lot like the shadowrun game for the Snes in a strange way.

Robotazy · 02-11-2009, 12:28 PM

It seems interesting.

New Screenshots seem to have a 3-d look right now, but I didn't take a good long look at them.

Acradius · 03-02-2009, 12:03 AM

Here's some info that hasn't surfaced in the thread yet:

~ Yes, fully 3d.

~ Will also use microphone somehow.

~ Pre-ordering at GameStop comes with an in-game bonus.

I still hates GTA games forever, but the moment they let me play as a good guy, I'll bow down and worship the series like the god it wants to be.
