DS CAN Handle GTA in 3D!!!

Thinkabout it! Metroid Prime was able to handle amazing 3d in only a limitation of 64mb space. The current amount that Nintendo has 'officially' set for games is 128mb, DOUBLE of that! But with these amazing flash carts out nowadays, the SAME size of a regular DS game cart, the DS can hold up to 8gb or even 16gb! THINK about the POSSIBILITIES! It's definitely possible to store a lot of textures, audio,cutscenes,etc. on that kind of space, and Rockstar never dissapoints.

P.S. GTA has always been known to set the bar on several previous consoles.

Considering that the DS already has a 3D sandbox game I don't think anyone was wondering if it could be done.Jaysonguy

Which game is that if I may ask?

Its already confirmed the game will be 3D. I do agree that more space can be put in the gamecart, not sure why they have not done it already. GTA: Chinatown Wars will be fine.

This coming from a PSP fan and owner. Its you guys turn to have a GTA, we had 2 already. Peace & Love

128 megabytes is plenty big enough for a gta game :) in 3Dxfactor19990

256 mb is the maximum capacity for DS games

Yeah, but that's what we keep getting. POSSIBILITIES! It's always possibilities. We need facts! Only time will tell how Rockstar will proceed with this project. We all want to know how GTA DS will turn out. But, possibilities won't tell us how Rockstar will do this. There hasn't been anything announced how this will come out, so there is no reason for going around saying that GTA will be 3-Dimensional!
...Sorry, sometimes I get carried away. No offense:|Spade_Crisis

yeah man Never Dissapoints..well' Im A New Comers..hehe =p By The Way

HELLLLLOOOO Gamespot

I'm 80% positive that they will use a top-down view like the older GTAs. So don't expect it to be something like the PSP GTAs.gonzales1

I think you are wrong. Play several games like COD4 and Dementium: the Ward, and you'll see. The DS can easily handle a beautiful 3d GTA. Even the GBA had a 3d driver, which looked good for that system. A 2d GTA would be lame, and wouldn't be nearly as much fun as a real GTA.

No, it's just that some games are only good in way form. For example, Contra is a great 2d game but the 3d games have sucked. Castelvania is also a great 2d game that never got good in 3d. Mario is great as a 2d platformer and as a 3d platformer, while so is Metroid. GTA is only good as a 3d game. The 2d games didn't have anything special, fun, or enjoyable about them. They lose that feel of exploring a realistic city while listening to music and running people over. The 2d games were only made because the technology was not available to make them any better.

As for being old school, I grew up playing games in the 80s with the original Contro, Mario, Zelda, etc. They were ALL 2d. Some games are still fun in 2d, and some were never fun to begin with.

No, it can't.

Personally, i'm hoping for 2D but expecting 3D.

Ofc it could handle it... The question is that if they do, will they have to make serious compromises?

I'm sure they'll use flash carts, seeing the amount of content they usually stuff in all of their games:Pmvp_153

Chinatown Wars as a flashcart would be interesting. I think that could work.

WHAT THE FEZZY!!! DUDE YOU ARE OFF YOUR ROCKER~~ LOL....Nothing person but Lamont of Innocense was a great 3D Castlevania game. I didn't even know there was a 3D Contra...I have to check that out.

I agree with you 2d games are retro, the ability to go 3D wasn't quite mastered til generation 5....companies should use the latest technology.

PS please get Castlevania: Lamont of Innosense.

A Ds could not handle running a GB of game. It's an application, they run the entire thing at once. That's why the games are mostly 64 mb.

ninja gaiden anyone hellohalfbreed11111

Yup. Ninja Gaiden DS was (is) very good. One of the best looking DS games in my opinion

Yes, Rockstar never dissapoints.

BUT!

We are talking about Rockstar Leeds - the branch which makes GTA games for handheld.

They have made 2D GTA for Gameboys. On MY opinion, GTA for the PSP Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories were not impressive at all, nothing special, rather boring.

Well, I'm just saying, that's all. I don't know much about how GTA Chinatown Wars would be like...

WTF?

Yeah I'm pretty sure you know exactly what you're talking about since you must work with Rockstar and know the inside scoop on this game since it only got announced with no further info :roll:
