Hmm I'm 14 and I don't really care about graphics. The same goes for my peers. A top down 2d gta would be a pretty nice experience for young gamers like me. However, I kinda imagine GTA DS would look like LOZ: PH's camera view, and on 3d, but the characters would not be "chibified". Gamers can use the stylus to move around and perform other actions.inzaneetie013

3D GTAs are not about graphics, and they never have been. They are about exploring a world, immersing yourself, and exploring. Its more than just an action game. 2d gtas don't have anything about them that makes them fun. The DS can easily handle a 3d GTA. If you want a 2d GTA, buy the GBA version. The DS and The DS Lite both play GBA games, you know?

That doesn't really make sense, unless you're making a contradiction. You're saying that 3D GTA's are not about graphics, but about immersion. Then you suggest that 2D GTA's aren't about immersion, because they 'don't have anything about them that makes them fun'. Let's Ignore the fact that the gameplay concept and execution between the 2D and 3D GTA's are near identical.

You've just stated that 3D GTA games aren't about graphics, but yet graphics do matter in a GTA game. Or at least that is what it appears you have stated. I don't get it otherwise.

GTA 3 and GTA 2 are identical, except for the graphics, i'm not talking about San andreas or GTA4, or even Vice City.. GTA 3 was exactly the same as GTA2, there was nothing you could do other then blow things up with your weapon, except that you are looking at it in a 3D view. If GTA 2 was boring, GTA 3 was as boring. - DS can easily handle a 3D game? NO it cant.. state a game you think will be able to suit GTA in 3D. If you are talking about Zelda, it is because the people's head are big, and their noses are triangle in shape. GTA is not that cute, if you are thinking of Transformers, you cant even see their faces, if i cant see atleast decent details in GTA, i rather see it in nicer rendered 2D graphic.. And even if the DS could handle the graphics, you think the DS cart is able to handle the storage memory in it? every game that you have been playing on the DS is only 20mb, and the larger games like the RPGS are only 100mb, and i believe those are pushing the system to the limit.

PS: GTA GBA, is very different from GTA 2 on the PSX.

It will probably be a top-down 2-D game and it is going to be great that way. As some said earlier, using that perspective the game will have many more events happening and lots of extra stuff to do. I think a full 3-D world would reduce the amount of activities and missions. But they could pretty much surprise me if they managed to produce such a game.
