GTA: Chinatown Wars for DS
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/15/ni...hinatown-wars/
During Nintendo's keynote address, the company carjacked the audience's attention, announcing that Grand Theft Auto is coming to the DS. Titled GTA: Chinatown Wars, little is known about the game, save for that it will feature a new game engine, characters, and the series' standard sandbox-style gameplay. :y: |
And that it'll suck.
|
Theres a small chance it may be good, the DS has shown to have pretty half-decent graphics with certian games (ie. Phantom Hourglass, Ninja Gaiden DS), course knowing nintendo they'll fuck with the violence content in the game to make it more "casual" :rant:
|
RE4 was on Wii.
At most Nintendo will have them tone down the language, but RE and some FPS games are about as violent as GTA and made it on Wii and DS. |
It'll still suck.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be as violent as any other GTA. The Wii has Re4, Manhunt2,No More Heroes and a really violent game called Madworld is on the way so violence wont be toned down.
The only two worries I can really think of is how a 3D GTA could be done on the DS. I'm not sure on the technical side of the DS like it's capabilities but I've always thought it was a bit better than the N64 in terms of power and graphics. Is that right? I can't shake the feeling it's going to be a bit cramped for a GTA unless it turns out to be 2D which I think wouldn't be taken well by players. My other worry is controls. No control stick, just a d-pad. Might make it a bit difficult to control your guy/car unless they use touch screen controls which hasn't always worked in the past. I'm looking forward to the game but I am a little cautious. |

Don't tell me their going to have you controlling the character w/ the stylus... it may have worked for NG DS, but I don't think it will here.

Well, at least they're doing isometric instead of a TPS.

http://www.gamekyo.com/Webmasters/Im...4833_0_big.jpg Doesn't look great, but most DS scans never look good. I'd say this game will look ok once it's released |
This looks a lot better than the first two I posted

Actually those are sexy shots. Not PSP sexy, but decent for the console.
|
Funny, I dont see a weapon slot, an ammo counter, or anything of the sort.
Leave it to Nintendo to take the fun out of GTA |

Oh shut up, I dont own a DS ok.
And why wouldn't the health bar and body armor bar be up there too? |
That what you're seeing could be the top screen and the weapons could be on the bottom screen so you can select them on the touch screen. It's how Metroid Prime works.
|
Touche.

That's the best shot of it, but the mobile phone signal part worries me. No more being called all the time I hope :(

And yeah, the game looks pretty decent for the DS. It looks almost like a mix between GTA 1/2 and the later GTA games. I may just buy this one. I'd have to see some gameplay footage first, though, to really make a decision. |
Pfft, DS stands for "Dat System". :roll:
|
Stop it! :mad:
|
Dude, simmer.
|
Keep this up and I will take you down. Take you down to Chinatown.
|
Dat sucks.
Duck sauce? |
That radar looks easier to read than the console one.

Yeah that's it. I wonder how multiplayer will do.

On the flip side, Terran's Wrong. DS got its name from the term "Developer's System." "Dual Screen was a name applied by the general public after the announcement. People assumed because it was called DS and had dual screens.... Kinda like the DVD. |
All I can find regarding "DS" is this: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/ds/faq.jsp#ds
They say it can stand for both, but you are correct when you say it stands for "Developers' System" as well. :y: |

In most games I have been told the second screen is just stuff not readily needed on the main screen, but still used quite often. |

No, like the right half of games meant to be played sideways. You know, extraneous information.
