[PSPGam3r]

Official (http://ir.take2games.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=152207) press release from Take 2 Games

[axia777]

GTA in Liberty City on the PSP. That kicks ass man. And Dub on PSP, that kicks ass too. I can't wait to get my hands on a PSP. The list of games gets better and better.

I wonder if they will include a wireless multi-player in GTA. It could happen really easily with PSP. Same with DUB. Rock on! :D

[Bad_Intentions]

Oh, and found this: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000493026784

[bigbabyaggie]

I am looking forward to those.

[Pumster]

That's awesome news - Both games add a lot to the PSP's line-up. Even though a new studio's in charge of both games, I still think there's plenty of potential. Hopefully, we'll get some in-game screen shots soon. :D

[gamingmonkey2004]

i wonder if it will be a gay overhead view like on gameboy :? because if it is i wont even bother playing it...but midnight club sounds good...as if there werent enough racing games already :roll:

[Fooly Cooly]

I will only buy it if its 3D
If its Overhead view It will suck because the
point of GTA is to kill people and crash into stuff in 3D
The Zelda is overhead view and are pretty
good But its an sword game

[Charlie]

Midnight Clube, eh, I never really liked it too much. But GTA has me interested, be it top-down view or not.

[NineOfSwords]

erhmm.... but you know that GTA is originally a birds view 2d game, don't you? it's only 3d since the 3rd installment.

but i too would only buy if its in 3d.

[dj_rpr]

i think both games are over rated, u get a bit bored bashing things or stealing cars...just the same old thing over again.

[Fats]

Each to their own, but I'd say the majority of people enjoy killing people and stealing cars TOO much. I'd personally rather just take a plane for a spin than kill a load of people.

[dj_rpr]

yep, it just doesnt get my attention...but it sure is popular.

[HGwells]

Midnight Club is a very good series but difficult like hell. If you ever crashed your car, you had no hope of catching up to with the other racers and winning.
Rockstar basically wanted you to know each track like the back of your hand. I hope they don't reintroduce this frustrating system in the PSP version.
It could result in people dashing their PSPs to the ground like they do with their PS2 pads due to frustration. :D

[Jannis]

The original GTA game (+ the London add-on) was great eventhough it had the birdseye view. Not as big in scale like the 3d gta games, but lots of fun anyway. Never liked Gta2 much though. The graphics and stuff were a lot better, but the game wasn´t really fun (in my opinion, naturally :wink: ). I don´t care if the PSP version is 3d or not. As long as it´s fun and true to the gta roots.

Chances are it will be... :D

[alternate_ending]

GTA2 was far too slow for my tastes. It had none of the speed of the original. I never played London but i loved the original. I loved it so much that when i first heard they were making a 3d version i was scared they were going to ruin it.

GTA2 had one thing that was really awesome though: the respect system. There were 3 gangs, if you killed gang member from one gang, others would repect you and defend you but the 'kill-ee' gang would start shooting at you and shit. Wow, that sentence could use some serious re-wording. anyway, anyone that played it will know what i'm on about and i really hope they bring it back for the next iteration.

BTW, IMO anyone that buys GTA just to run shit over and shoot shit is wasting their money. Play the missions you jackasses, thats where all the fun is at. Great story line, brilliant voice acting, massive, massive landscape, unlockables. If you don't play through the story-line you're really missing out.

[ZYirAH]

I found the missions really boring personally. Never had the patience for that game myself so I never purchased it. But ya, it sure is popular so it's a solid deal for Sony.

There's no question that it'll be 3D. It's funny that people are actually still questioning if the PSP can do 3D. I don't get it. :?

[Jannis]

There´s no question that the PSP can handle the 3d graphics, but the question is how rockstar decides to pull it off considering it´s a handheld title. Lets see... :)

[Bad_Intentions]

Well i'm gonna try to see how they do controls for this game without two extra shoulder buttons.

[gamingmonkey2004]

well the extra buttons are mostly just for cheats :lol:

[Danji]

If D-pad = weapon selection then controls = fine.

[gamingmonkey2004]

yup. that sounds good...i almost forgot about weapon switching. :lol: and use up and down to switch the radio station....i liked that in san andreas

[Danji]

Woah, you just made me think of something horrible. The radio set-up on the previous grand theft auto games have used streaming but if they were to do that on the PSP then it wouldn't last long at all. I wonder if they will go with a loading some ATRAC3plus's method instead..or if they will have music at all. This will probably use the ATRAC3plus so we can hear what sound quality to expect from it in game.

[Bad_Intentions]

I guess it should go something like this for on foot..
X Button = Run/Sprint (Hold)
[ ] Button = ?
/\ Button = Action
O Button = Attack
Analog Stick = Movement
Up and Down = ?
Left and Right = Weapon Select
Start = Pause
Select = View Change
Left Shoulder = Lock-On
Right Shoulder = ? - Maybe Hold and Move Analog Stick to swivel camera?

If this setup sucks, don't hurt me! :P

Edit: Might as well try driving controls too..

X Button = Accelerate
[ ] Button = Brake
/\ Button = Action (Get Out)
O Button = Weapon
Analog Stick = Steering
Up and Down = Radio (If any)
Left and Right = Left & Right View (Hold and press or hold O to Drive-By)
Start = Pause
Select = View Change
Left Shoulder = Look Behind
Right Shoulder = Handbrake

[DappaDizzle]

those controls seem nice enough

[Bad_Intentions]

Forgot Horn/Car Missions trigger, what button for that?

[Danji]

Select if the cameras are absent.

[Bad_Intentions]

Is there a L3 when you press down the analog stick?

[sthpark7791]

i really want the R botton to be shoot and accelerate (when drivin)

[senas8]

Are you guys nuts..of course the game will be 3D.. I guess Ridge race and Metal Gear would have been a 2D too huh? You make me laugh.

[Avangel]

lol hmm now 7 GTA games wtf its going to be the next final fantasy with that number of games, GTA,GTA2,GTA london,GTA3,GTA vice city,GTA sanadrea and now this one wow

[Loc]

You shouldnt complain about GTA being 2d. I liked it like that, althought 3d is nice too. Theres always the Chance that they will make it like GTA2 =) yipee..but then the rest of you would wine.

[mckmas8808]

And if they do make it 2D they will be losing a buyer. I love GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA SA
