You know, I'll laugh my ass off if this game becomes a monstrous hit and we still having this same talk about how the DS can't handle GTA.
Dude, the DS is literally a glorified portable N64 with a second screen and stylus. It is probably not even as powerful as a PS1 and has a SMALL cartridge based media storage system. Do you honestly believe that this platform can seriously accommodate a full fledged GTA game? No offense to the DS, it is a fine handheld. But, seriously.

You'll be surprised how good the DS graphics can be Chiro. Anyway Got screens shots for ya.

With that said though, graphics aren't everything Chiro you know that.

As long as the game is fun as hell and stays somewhat true to what GTA is, then this game will be massive success.










Keep in mind though that this is the Pre build of the game. The images aren't 100% what the game will look like.

That looks ropey as hell. Those shots are not making me interested in the game at all.

Exactly. Not only does it look horrifyingly bad, but the extent of the 3D is that the world looks like it is 2 inches thick. I want more PSP GTA games!!

Again, Im not even sure how accurate this screens are. Its not even finished yet, so I'll wait for more screens before bashing it.

Oh, mind you, it's "ropey" because they're magazine scans of probably very small images.

re: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to be M-rated, cell shaded and more!! Update Page 6!!

I can appreciate that but it's still not what I'd call "polished" in any way. I would still probably get it because I don't have to pay for DS games. But if I did, I would avoid it after looking at this.

Since when was graphics a problem in GTA? In fact this will probably more fun then you guys are giving it credit to.

re: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to be M-rated, cell shaded and more!! Update Page 6!!

I realise that GTA games have always had sub-par graphics compared to other games released at the same time but mark my words, the DS will not be able to handle a GTA game like the ones we have been accustomed to. It's nice that you have hope for this game, it really is. But just remember that Chiro and I called it, when it turns out to be crap

re: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to be M-rated, cell shaded and more!! Update Page 6!!

Im just not trying to bash a game I have no clue how it'll play. You honestly needs to give the DS more credit. I've seen some fantastic games before on the DS.

re: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to be M-rated, cell shaded and more!! Update Page 6!!

Don't get me wrong, I love my DS. It's just due to the limited cartridge space, the processing power and the interface, certain genres work better than others. A GTA game is not one of them I fear.

I think that's pretty obvious from the get-go. Especially when the thing mentioned that it'll only have a small portion of Liberty City.

Exactly.

It has nothing to do with the programming, but the limitations of the console. The DS has neither the system power nor the media storage capacity to run a bonafide GTA game, and no prettying it up or rationalization is going to make this a good game. The ONLY way that GTA on the DS will be a good game is grading on a curve and PRETENDING you are playing your N64. THis game is going to be a total and complete joke compared to modern GTA games.
