GTA Chinatown wars for the DS!!!

Hi guys, i wanna tell you, that GTA is coming for the DS, IT LOOKS AWESOME! The GTA game is called GTA Chinatown wars which is coming out for the DS, im very excited, there is also the possiblty of Wi-Fi Connection multiplayer matches and i think its been confirmed that you can upload your criminal stats to the GTA: Chinatown wars database for people to see the top scores, if you don't believe me, go search google and type in GTA chinatown wars, and go on the offical rockstar website for it, theres a WFC icon on there!

Anyway, it looks more like the old GTAs but its still 3-D with an isometric camera view, it is also got a different system to escape from the coppers, you must disable so many police vechicles to get your wanted level down, and escape from them, this is different to GTA 4 Copper escape system, also i heard from Gamespot's DEICADED UPDATES that there might be a GTA FOR THE WII!! YES! IF GTA CHINATOWN WARS IS GOOD STARTOUT ON THE NINTENDO SYSTEMS, THEN THEY MIGHT DEVELOP AN GTA FOR THE WII! Any way, enough about the Wii, what about GTA on DS, well, i say its gonna be one damn fine GTA game on the DS! Hopefully it will be an good game for the DS! It should come on the 20th of March 2009, hopefully it won't be any delays!

Anyway what do you think about GTA for the DS, is it a good idea or not?

Anyway i think its a damn good idea!!!

You sound like you're off your meds... but it's nice to see someone who's enthusiastic about the title, I am too. The hook that got me about this GTA (I hated Vice City, San Andreas, basically anything that wasn't centered in Liberty City) is the ability to be a drug dealer as a side mission... it's about time for that, I say. I'm bored of running pizza, noodles, and taxi driving. The idea of building a dope peddling ring is AWESOME.

I also think that the graphics and presentation are going to be great... you'll hear a lot of people saying it sucks, but they haven't played it yet so what do they REALLY know about it?

Glad to hear you're into it!

Thanks, i heard about this like 6 months ago, when i heard something on this website or something about GTA:DS or something like that, i mean they made GTA: GBA, GTA for Gameboy and GTA GBC, but this one is gonna be the most nortious one yet, drug dealing is one of the main criminal aspects, for ages they only included drugs in missions, now the chance of actually doing it a mini game or part of the game is fantistic! The graphic ain't the best, but they are really good for the DS, but hey but cares, its the GAMEPLAY THAT COUNTS NOT GRAPHICS!!! So its good to see another intrested in this game!

(BTW I hated GTA:SA its so empty and missions are pretty much boring, but P2 is good, my fav is GTA: VC, i completed it 4 times, the shortest time of completion was 17 hours in total gameplay!) XD tis all true!

I was mildly interested in it when it was announced, but I'm not entirely sure that I want it to this day.

Though the good thing about it is that it's not just in Chinatown, which I was afraid of. I mean seriously, it's miniscule. But my interest in the game is growing with the news I hear about it.

it looks like a great game, i really hope they add co-op to it because that would jsut be so fun.htotheo

Me too, but I seriously doubt they'll put it in.

If they don't add an co-op mode i'll be crying! But they have to and must add multiplayer at least locally and WI-FI Worldwide if they can! But i know that Stats uploading via WFC is confirmed, hopefully WFC multiplayer will be added aswel!

Online DS-anything, meh. Please, don't waste any time on developing multiplayer, it'll only get hacked before it comes to the store shelf for release and end up as an after-thought on the game card, an unused appendage. Just make the game good for single-player story mode. This is not the console version, dumping time and effort into it as a wifi game is a complete waste unless the developer intends to do something magical about the fact that DS online is a cheater's paradise.

And please... spare us all your "I Have Good Online Experiences, I Don't Know What You're Talking About" fanboy garbage. It's as big a lie as "Check Is In The Mail".

Looks to be pretty dang decent! Hope we get a video soon. I wanna see those new visuals in action!

The anticipation is getting to me, though... I await the games release.

Go check out Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for a solid, console-feeling experience; ho hackers, all strategy.

I agree though, 99% of DS online games are hacked. It just isn't an online oriented console.

I'm sure many of you have heard about this too but I recently heard about a june 15th release date for GTA IV

Hackers are always a problem with multiplayer, they are there everywere, for every game there is at least 10 hackers, or cheaters, so i want them to make multiplayer, locally if possible but worldwide would be great, FCs will work fine, they would break down hacking, you wouldnt want to hack your freinds would yer? But yea a hacker's paradise, i have only been in 2 matchs of COD5 for the DS that was Hacked, I havent seen a hacker in MK thank god! But nowdays even a three year old can hack a game! Its that simple! Nintendo should get a Punkbuster for their games online!!!

Wait..... what?

Anyone read the Nintnedo Power writeup on it? There are like 6 pages devoted to it and 4 of interviews.ryroo22

I did, it was interesting enough.

Heh! "PunkBuster"... you're a "Battlefield" player I take it? Yeah, there are people out there who run a clean game on the consoles, and there are others who don't. The key to it is keeping up with (or ahead of) the cheats and programming against it. "Battlefield 2" is a great example of that. Before you get into a game, the online interface does a check completely independent of DNAS encoding checks to see if you're using any modifier programs and it says "PunkBuster" on the loading screen... and that is for a system that's a lot more sophisticated & much less regulated than a Nintendo product...

Nintendo has all of it's DS games flowing through the NWC, and if that's not a centralized server there are at least a few-enough number of them handling DS gaming traffic that puting a carrier signal on the games and seeing what pings back isn't possible, sifting out the code that doesn't come up smelling Kosher, then I don't know what is... I'm not a programmer or an I.T. specialist so perhaps I have it completely wrong. But it seems to me that logically this shouldn't be that tough a thing for them to combat.

I know that they are probably a bit more worried about all of the piracy, but this is highjacking of a similar sort - Nintendo is allowing the brigands and punks to dictate to them how their system will be used. You would think they'd want to take back their rightful ground but it's not something they see as important, obviously. I love my DS... I love my GameCube, and I really enjoyed the N64, SNES, and thank Jah for the NES which proved that home gaming wasn't an out-moded or dead concept. I have the most respect for Nintendo out of ALL the game makers and system inovators because they consistently show me a weird idea (two screens? touch screen? Wii-mote with a nunchuck-WHAT???) that inevitably make me delight in playing games for another season, after my first game of "PONG" back in the later 1970s (that's right, y'all... I'm so old I remember seeing my first coin-op "PONG" in the front door vestibule of a local waffle house). Nintendo is and always will be the most creative and diverse experience in the market...

... but when they take such a weak, dead fish stance on cleaning up a rather poopie messy diaper that is the DS online gaming experience, as it stands as of this posting it undermines my faith in the company. I think they are well aware that they have a rampant problem... and perhaps it's not nearly as bad as the techno-rape that's being perpetrated on the competition's hand-held, but it's still in really, really bad shape.

PLEASE, NINTENDO... TAKE BACK THE ONLINE TERRITORIES... HIRE A WYATT ERP OR A KENSEI TO CLEAN UP THE CRIMINALS IN OUR OTHERWISE PRETTY LITTLE TOWN OF DS ONLINE GAMING!!! WE NEED YOU TO HELP US!!! THE ROBBER-BARRONS ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND WE NEED SOME CLINT EASTWOOD ****!!!

For every gamer there are ten Cheaters/Hackers? But those cheaters vary, surely some of them aren't that bad? I mean, some hacks are annoying, but sometimes you get useful ones (like Mario Kart online level unlocks)... Won't some hackers be alright if they just use the useful hacks? Although, that may never happen :(

Focus on that, If there are hackers everywhere, has nintendo got the least amount of them?

It sounds cool especialy because it's gonna be on the DS, but for some reason I don't know if it will be that good. It looks like the camera view may be kinda bad but idk I definitely want to try the game out when it comes out. GTA for the Wii might be kinda cool too, but it wouldnt be as good as playing it on another system.

but yeah otherwise I am pretty excited for GTA Chinatown wars :)

First of all I'm a girl, Second.. go look it up if you haven't already. Mostly just excited because at the moment we don't have the cash to buy a PS3 so if it comes out on ds thats our only chance at playing it until we can get a PS3.. Oh and I don't think I smoked anything

Im no Battlefield player mate, i play Wolfenstein Enemy Terrority!!! That uses Punkbuster, and yes if you think that, well then, that what you think , anyway Nintendo should use a PunkBuster for DS!! THEN HACKERS WILL BE LESS! But Punkbuster will cause too much lag! thats why many FPS games online lag is because of the anti-hack software running in the servers!ComboTroop

oh that's great to hear SOME games have anti hacking online :)
