Fine. I'll wait another 3 years for the next GTA game to come out.
Seriously, I do agree that there isn't enough cartridge space for the music, but then again, I've never heard of the songs on the radio in GTA III and LCS.
I've never played any of the original GTA games, so I don't know if it will interest me. It's never too late to start.

But I absolutely refuse to spend the entirety of a game playing a glorified top down view

I thought we were finally past isometric games. Aparrently not.

quote GTA DS

In an interview with Nintendo Power, Rockstar Games cofounder Dan Houser explained why the company decided to to move the Grand Theft Auto series to the DS rather than the Wii. He states that “it didn’t really feel natural” to Rockstar and that “the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different” than what the company has previously done.

Full question/answer below:

Q: It seems like a more natural progression for the series to move to Wii rather than the DS. Is there any reason why you didn’t take it there first?

A: It didn’t feel natural to us, I guess. It really was that the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different from what we’d done in the past. The stylus and the chance to use minigames in that way was really interesting and exciting to us, and we thought we could integrate seamlessly between those two modes. And it would be the chance to make something really good on a handheld with our handheld-focused team. That was really why we went that way. We haven’t really done any concrete, major thinking about the Wii, one way or another. They’re sort of separate issues.

It isn't about being closed minded, either, but about knowing what I like.

I was hoping that it wouldn't have top-down (or isometric, in this case) view. I still might check it out though, as I do have a DS anyway. I honestly never played a top-down GTA game before.

Looks shitty. I'd stick with the PSP versions if I were you guys.

You're missing my point. I am not saying that you shouldn't be interested in or buy the game, only that I am not interested in it. I will admit that the isometric angle you showed looks a lot better than a straight top-down, but it still looks wonky. I guess my point is that given that we have 5 full GTA games to choose from on the PS2 and PSP, plus GTA IV, I can't imagine why this rinky-dink GTA-meets-Mario 64 looking game would hold my attention for more than 30 seconds.

Rumor that GTA Chinatown Wars to be ported to iPhone.

quote

With sales of GTA IV slowing down lately, the EA bid for Take-Two officially over, the threat of Rockstar's Sam and Dan Houser potentially signing with another publisher, and Rockstar's own reluctance to bring GTA to Wii, the future of the GTA franchise has certainly been kept fresh in everyone's minds.

And while Wii isn't really being considered at Rockstar at the moment, another very popular platform could be: Apple's iPhone. With GTA: Chinatown Wars coming to the DS and making use of the touch screen later this year, it wouldn't be too difficult for Rockstar to bring the game to Apple's increasingly important (for gaming and other apps) iPhone, notes Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey.

Thanks to me finding the article.

_{So, whats everyone thoughts if this rumor is true? You think there could be a better GTA version on the iPhone? I mean it is bigger then DS in terms of storage size.}

My mother has a DS, but I don't think even that will get me to buy this. Just a money spinner really.

storage size doesnt really matter too much, i doubt the iphone has better gaming specs than the DS, a gaming machine.

but if it does happen, itll be very toned down compared to the DS version
