China town wars will be a......

I think you might be right but you never know, we just need more data at this point.

i think a flunk, its gonna be like a remake of the gta 1/2, not that there not good but its no gta 3 or other ones, i woudnt expect to much =/SGT4EVA

How on earth do you have any idea what the game will be like? Nobody has said anything, no screens have been released...you know nothing yet.

Give it some time, it may surprise you.

Actually, the "wars" in the title makes me think there's a possiblity it could be a strategy game, much like how The Godfather was on the PSP

this dude is teh sony fan boy ignore himkingjazziephiz

I'm just wondering how the touch screen is going to come into play.Lyphe2k

Menus, probably. That's all. :|

geez, you people are so damn cynical. You haven't seen a single frame of gameplay, and you're already declaring it a flop. I wonder sometimes how you live with yourselves

I'm pretty sure it won't be that bad... DS isn't as bad as GBA.. After all, there are 3D DS games.. So maybe it will have 3D graphics :D

yes if its above view like gta 1+2 were than this will suck if they can make it 3d somehow without terrible graphics then they COULD pull it offarmyman455

Hopefully Rockstar will use it to good use in this game. Maybe you'll be able to control all of your movements and weapons through the touch pad and see the map on the top screen.

I think GTA for the DS will be a great game, with great graphics for the system. Just look at COD4 for the DS, it is 3d and still looked good, without going overboard. Though I really can only speculate about what the will be like, this is what I think. The DS generally has more power than people think, though it really does not have much, the system should be able to support a title like this, yes it will be a watered down version of other GTA titles, but should still look pretty good, with a decent length of story, and content.

Considering the game is called Chinatown Wars. It could be like San Andreas and be kind of gang war style game, involving strategy. That would be kinda cool. I never played Godfather for the PSP, so I do not know if that is how that was, sorry if it is, I never played it :)

welll.... if the graphics were as good as metroid prime they might pull it off and + the ds has better graphics then the N64..

well that's what ppl say

I know nothing about the game so I won't judge in either direction yet.

Dont know if anyone already knows that info but thought i might show you anyway.

You guys should bear in mind the quality of Rockstars last couple games.....I mean sure.....They've never really done a handheld game.....But I think we can all agree that the guys over at Rockstar know how to make a good game.

I'm not a ds owner but i want and i think it will be a great game it is not important 3d or 2d . first of all it is a rockstar game8)

Why do you think it will be a flunk ??? Because of the ds????? Well as long as rockstar does it I think it will be ok.ms-fable

Um, have you ever played the Grand Theft Auto game for Game Boy Advance. You want to talk about a bad game, start there. This games gonna be no good simply because the things they need to do to make it good can not be done on the DS.

2D graphics would give rockstar much greater flexibility in pulling off a stylish art direction.. 3D for the DS, although it has been done and looks nice, would not offer Rockstar nearly the amount of artistic options they would have in a 2D environment for the DS. I doubt the DS would have the power to pull off what Rockstar would want in a 3D game, and if they did it would end up looking fairly generic.

Either way, I doubt this game will be a cash in for Rockstar and they are actually going to put quite a bit of effort into it (the DS install base is huge, afterall).

And to all you gamers who say "If iz 2dz, teh gamez suckzor"...go play some classics. They're considered so for a reason.

That is funny! and I wouldn't care if it looks really generic and not very good as long as it's 3- D, the 2-D just doesn't look fun from the screen shots!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ROFLMAO

Grand Theft auto will not work on a DS. It will be like having it on gameboy except you have an interactive map on the bottom. It will not work.

Basicly every element that got added to the concept of GTA after GTA2 excisted only in a 3D invironment and wouldnt work in a 2D game and the DS wont be capable of showing a full 3D world the size of a GTA map. IF it does do that then it will look ugly or youll move through it very very very slow. So im sure they will add some elements from the newer GTA games that work on DS but they cant do anything else then remake the originals. But could we really tell the difference? All GTA maps so far have been LC, VC and SA and all of those excisted in the original games aswell.

Controlling a character from topdown with the DS touch screen has worked for many RPG and could work for GTA. But I really dont want to go back to that topdown stuff that only excisted because they didnt have the capabilties of anything better back then after having played GTA4.

Trust me, whatever Rockstar decides to do with it, they'll do it right. This isn't a cheap cash-in.

Yah, I mean Rockstar would never do that...."cough" GTA4 "cough".......

Actually looking at GTA 1/2, I find it more likely that this is the direction of the game. Unless Rockstar can pull a fully 3D game that is like GTA3 but with the DS graphics.

BTW, are there any speculations on what the WiFi of the game will be?

"China town wars will be a ..."

-Joke on the Nintendo DS. Sorry, I love my handheld just as much as everyone else here but I don't see how they could do it. Just too large of a game and environment to shrink down to a handheld like the DS.
