I'd rather play T.W.O.C though, a small 3rd party is developing it. Alot like GTA3, plus it's fully 3D. Yes, 3D action on GBA.

If I wanna play GTA3 I'll put it in my PS2's dics tray.

Post by: kennyb27 on February 26, 2003, 12:05:49 PM: Why? Because just recently Sony just paid some huge amount of money (or cut the development costs for Rockstar) to keep the GTA license on a Sony system for at least another 2 GTA games. If you are asking yourself how the game can come to GBA, its because the handheld licenses and console licenses are very different (for example, Rare can still develop for GBA even tho Microsoft owns them).

Microsoft, in all their odd wisdom has shown us this isn't true. What with basically Rushing poor Rare to develop their 'mature' Xbox games, they got them to drop all development on their GBA titles.

Oh, and Sony have GTA exclusive rights till the end of 2004. So at the max, we'll see two more GTA's exclusive to PS2. After that, expect PS2/Xbox releases.

There's no way they could fit GTA on GameCube without cutting the soundtrack to basically nothing, and that would be crap.

Post by: CrYpTiC on February 28, 2003, 06:02:04 PM: I can only wonder how they are going to fit the huge city, tons of cars, music, and violence into a little handheld. I wonder what the graphics are going to look like, and what the sound is going to be like. I think this is the game that puts the GBA and SP to the test.

Post by: T-Tiger on March 19, 2003, 02:37:02 PM: I highly doubt GTA3 Is coming...but I wouldn't mind if it is though...
Besides...GBA doesn't need GTA3 to boost sales...its already the best selling system in HISTORY....

Post by: PIAC on March 19, 2003, 03:05:54 PM: i was thinking a few months ago they could port gta 1 and or 2 to gba, specially considering gta 1 looks like a gameboy game anyway (in my opinion)

but omg sif gta3 would be on gameboy slap yourselfs in the face with a game manual for beliving it

Post by: Gamefreak on March 20, 2003, 11:46:02 AM: um actually the best selling system in history is the game boy. Even the PS2 has sold more than the gba..

And um this is on gamespot and stuff too, but...
This is like extremely old next. This game was announced like over a year ago and never talked about again.
