Is it just me but is GTA Chinatown wars going to be a disaster. As always all hardcore games when put in the DS turn out to be a disaster. When I saw the graphics I was very dissapointed to see the top down 3D graphics of the game. I think it was a big mistake for NIntendo to totally abandon the hardcore :|

I think it looks great. Even in the unlikely event that the game does fail, it won't be Nintendo, it will be Rockstar because Nintendo is not making the game.

From the screens I don't think it looks too bad. I won't buy it straight away though, I'll see what the reviewers say.

Wait for a review before you say such a thing. Right now, no judgements about the game can be made. As for the graphics and camera angle, I think they're great. The Cel Shader keeps the textures simple and reduces pixelation. The Isometric view makes it so that the DS doesn't have to render much instances at a time and allows for more content to be in the game. This game is also bigger in scope than the PSP versions of GTA so already it can be said that the game won't be void of content. The game has potential to be great, it just depends on how well it is put together. You seem very uninformed being that the few things that you said were untrue. You should be sure you know what you are talking about before saying anything.

disaster ... naaah i doubt it. but i cannot say for sure since it's not even released yet. as for the graphics? gameplay for me is king ... it just enhances the experience and is it just me ... or from the looks of things nintendo isn't really affected even if they do not have hardcore games? they're still in pretty solid shape up to now.

This game has absolutely nothing to do with Nintendo other than that it is being released on their console. So it's not Nintendo's who are abandoning the so-called hardcore. It would be Rockstar. If the 'hardcore' are boring enough to want to play the same 1st/3rd person perspective shoot 'em ups all their life then that's their problem. If you are old enough to play this game, and thus old enough to experience the originals when they first came out, you'd know theres nothing wrong with a top down perspective in GTA.

1. You think Nintendo ahs abandoned the hardcode, yet you say moments earilier that they're releasing a hardcode game (GTA) on the DS. I think you contradicted yourself.

2. I'm looking forward to it Its never been done of the DS so I'd like to see how it'll work out.

3. No one's forcing you to buy the game. Don't like it? Don't play it. I'm sure someone else will enjoy your (potential) copy of GTA:CW.

Careful there... the above statement could be considered flame-posting as it's simply bashing the platform with no motivation past fan-boy-ism. Were you meaning to quote me directly and are now taking exception to what I said, or is this a response to someone else's post and you quoted me by accident?

Haha, I was imitating the haters. Their whole reason for thinking Chinatown Wars will be bad is only because "it's on the DS." Essentially I'm making fun of the haters, because they don't actually have any reasn to think it wll bomb.

To me, if you've played GTA & GTA2 on the PC (or it's ports to the consoles, I guess), if you still play "DOOM" - especially if you have LAN parties and play "DOOM" multiplayer - If you can tell me right now-right here what you must do on "Galaga" in order to 'beat' the game, if you can sit through the dialogue of a "Metal Gear" game and say you enjoyed or understood it, if you played that Final Fantasy game which came out on the 3DO system, then you MIGHT be able to call yourself hardcore.

obviously the capabilities of the ds arent going to match the psp, so right off the bat we cant be comparing both mobile gta. but on its on merit, i am def going to buy this game because i think as a ds owner, i am going to be very happy to have a more mature game to play, and i will not be comparing or expecting this to be like the 3 gta's i played on my ps2.

It looks like an updated version of the first two GTA games to me. I thought those were fun back in the day.

So, just because it has a top down view and "Bad graphics" means that the game is going to flop? I guess we should take your word for it, because you must have played it to make a claim like that . We're talking about Rockstar games, I don't think they're known for their crappy games. It's always gameplay first, always (well in most cases lol).

I'm sorry, but thats just plain wrong... sure it may seem like nintendo is neglecting the hardcore gamers but that doesn't mean that ALL hardcore games on DS are bad...

Wow... you've never played Gta 1\2, have you? Those games beat the living crap out of the fancy 3d versions we got now. I'm glad to see we get the old kind back.

It just you pal. Nintendo isn't even making this game so what u said about Nintendo abandoning hardcore is irrelevant to your comment on GTA Chinatown wars comment. I personally like the direction there going, but then again the DS is my favorite current system. This year looks even stronger then last all we need is a Mario, Zelda, DK, Starfox, any new nintendo made game or all three motherearths games on one cartridge. Then it would be an unbeatable year.

HUGE DISASTER!!!

There is no way that they can compete with Vice City on PSP!!!

Like you wont even be able to tell what is happening with the ds graphics!!!

SynGatesFan

I don't know about that because the DS already won the console war and it's 2 dimensional like the oldest GTAs, so I think you can see what's happening and enjoy it.
