Does anyone know if there is going to be a Grand Theft Auto for the 3DS?

I was just curious. I haven't heard a peep from Rockstar about any new games. Just rumors they're making a GTA 5, but I'd like to see one for the 3DS. Chinatown Wars kind of sucked because of the whole top-down thing, but I think GTA would be perfect for this system. Thoughts?

I actually thought Chinatown wars was brilliant.. But, I can't see rockstar developing for the 3DS anytime soon. There is so much doubt about it. I'm also a bit skeptic when it comes to the 3DS.

They could port over the PSP version of Chinatown Wars, but I don't know how well it would sell, giving that many DS owners pirated the original and that its quite old now. Wouldn't mind seeing another game in a similar fashion though. I like top down GTA games.

I loved Chinatown Wars because of the old-school perspective. Sadly I really don't think it sold too well, but we can live in hope they will try again one day.

Why not? CW sold loads better on DS than it did any other platform basically even if it was underwhelming. I wouldn't be surprised by a City Stories game. Its best to get on the platform early and develop a customer base rather than wait years and force a GTA game on a consumer base that isn't accustomed to those types of games.

If Rockstar hasnt said anything about GTA on 3DS then Im sure noone on the Gamespot 3DS forums is going to know anything.

Hope so, and hope it'll be top-down. Those are the only GTAs I enjoy.

It would be nice, but the DS's Chinatown Wars didn't sell as well, so I kinda have my doubts. They talked of bringing GTA to the Wii, but there's no sign of that happening.

It would be pretty cool to see a San Andreas Stories on 3DS, but it would be better served in the 3rd person, and hopefully with the same focus on nifty touchscreen minigames. I don't think we'll see it, but it would be pretty cool.

A spin off possibly, but not the main game.

Did you actually buy Chinatown Wars or are you just assuming it sucks because it was top down? I'm assuming the latter. Chinatown Wars was awesome. Easily the best handheld GTA to date.

But anyway I doubt there will be a GTA for 3DS. If a handheld GTA is coming any time soon I expect it to come out for Vita. You never know though.

That's more along the lines of what I was talking about. Top-down is ok, I just think it's better in 3rd person.

I agree- the main claim it had to fame was that it was an open world game- hell, it created the genre. But I would much prefer a handheld Just Cause for my free roam fix.

I'd really would want a GTA game to be on the 3DS. Playing GTA:SA was a ton of fun and watching someone play GTA:VC was fun too. I can't believe I almost forgot about GTA:CTW I really should get that game.

I don't think anything has been announced, but there was going to be a Saints Row game... it was cancelled though, as far as I know.

What, 1.2 million copies is bad? You realise that's about $30-$40 million made based off of the many ($35, $30, $20) prices retailers sold it for? Are you really saying you think R* invested 1/3 of what they spent to make games like GTA IV and RDR on a DS game? You know most DS games costed like $1 million to make? I mean, I guess their ego's must be hurt but the fact is it still made much more than its budget on the DS version alone and the DS version was the best selling version.
