Well, that settles it. GTA is a dead series to me. The PSP games were pretty good, but I hated IV, Advance, and San Andreas. This one looks like bad times too. *goes back to Vice City*

Here's a resized pic from Driver 2, the best (graphically) open world 3D GTA game on the Playstation, this is basically the absolute maximum of what the DS could handle in a GTA game.

To me that kind of game would just be horrible to play on the DS.

Wow, that would look great on DS.

That looks really bad :(MKLOL

but you know what? i bet you it looks so crazy to us that maybe just maybe..... it'll get a 7.0 from gamespot

i mean, we're all really young and don't remember having fun with top down GTAs

personally this doesn't look all that appealing but 3D gtas are tired, and played out to me.

i mean i've only had 6 in 7 years. Seriously. Stop it!

i wish GTA would take a more serious political and social tone. or just be insane unrealistic fun like Crackdown

can anyone imagine an actual non-gang related story for GTA? i dunno, government conspiracy? i'm not saying go all metal gear on it but maybe a little Crackdown to spice it up

Libery City could be a huge open Racoon City. Rockstar could do it. if they wanted to do something unique

but money is money and if it ain't broke, make new IPs called manhunt and Bully as a spiritual spinoffs to Grand theft auto

[QUOTE="JonasJuice"][QUOTE="ChiddaPotta"]

I am SO glad I sold my DS and bought a PSP. Seriously, this game looks like a port from NES :lol:

Vice City and Liberty City Stories look 10x better :lol:

I know this is just screenshots that might not even be real but still lulz.

ChiddaPotta

God, you're a moron. I can't take it. You're so unbelievable stupid. You make me want to gouge my own eyes out after reading your post. You make the world a stupider place just by existing. You are the epitome of a idiotic, close-minded fanboy. Kill yourself. Please report this so I don't have to read your retarded bullsh!t anymore.

Um, ok? (Jeez, I never thought gaming went that seriously)

EDIT: BTW, you DO know I hate nintendo right?

Yeah, Jonas calm down a little. He may not agree with you but a lot of people do like me, I think the game looks decent.

Mercenary848

Those look better, I don't mind the ****I liked the top down games.

Yeah IMO the top down games weren't bad, just obviously not as good as the later ones

Still if they can get the controls one I think it'll be a pretty fun game

[QUOTE="Dr-Doctor"]As soon as I saw those images, immediately I was depressed...St_muscat

Agreed, I was really hoping that Rockstar may be able to do something amazing and make the graphics good enough on the DS but it seems like they haven't...

Same I mean look at games like Metroid Prime Hunters and the Super Mario 64 port they were in full 3D each with big open worlds and yet Rockstar still goes with the top down thing. Was hyped for it, but not anymore sadily.

Exactly

I know GTA would of had to be a lot bigger but then I wouldn't have minded if the graphics weren't as good as games like Metroid Prime Hunters, its the gameplay that counts but I think it could of been a lot better if it was full 3d

It will sell just like every GTA game does, but it simply won't be a great game. Just like GTA4, it will simply be more of the same.

more screens that look less brown

Pinkyimp

WTF?

These screens look awesome. Looks like the old GTA games with cel shading

I know..i really like THIS screenshot of the game..

have I missed something they look quite good the quality of the scans/images are terrible, are they scans or something?, once u get some proper screenshots/vids then u can pass judgement... I glad it aint some bad 3D 1st person attempt cause that would be bad... and I loved the originals...

I think these are scans from Nintendo Power, in which case they'd be lower quality... So I guess it's still too early to even judge the graphics :|

I think people were expecting GTA4 graphics or even PSP graphics or just looking to bash a Nintendo console

Dunno what are you people biatching about. Omg this looks horrible, omg this looks awful, omg this, omg that.

I mean, it's a frickin DS, a handheld system. What do you expect?

IMO, graphics are just right. In fact, they rule.

Guess 80% of you never played GTA or GTA II.

Knew it was going to be in vein of GTA GBA,

Knew It.

Might not be a bad thing, could be a great thing... but i dont think its going to be as good as the GTA Stories series....

Exactly.

The top down GTAs were wild fun.

It has a strong chance of being a great game in its own right, even if its not like the recent illiterations.

Were people really expecting a full 3rd person 3D GTA ON A NINTENDO DS?

I don't think the game was made to rival GTA Stories, I think its just a random standalone project

Oh of course of course, im just sceptical it will be better, simply because the GTA stories use the current GTA design template, which is already steps ahead of the originals.

Either way it could be a great game regardless

WTF were you people expecting from an open world game on the DS? As long as it plays well, that's good enough for me.
