Alright, I'll start it.

So, is this gonna be top down like the first two GTAs or 3D? And will it be the most offensive game to asians since Shadow Warrior?

For the love of god, make it top down!

Third person might work too if they're as good as Sandlot when it comes to squeezing performance out of a system. Of course if they're that good they could even let you "uproot" buildings and throw them at people...

Considering they have basically no experience I doubt they'll be able to pull off a good 3D environment, it'd look like a launch game. I'm excited the game exists, but considering the previous history of GTA on Nintendo handhelds (they are all awful) this could just be another bad game.

Haha I was just thinking...when the game sells poorly, they can port it to the PS2!

Mario · « **Reply #5 on:** July 16, 2008, 06:45:08 AM »

LOL

Actually, sadly when it sells poorly they'll use that to justify no Wii game. Which sucks, i'd even buy a straight San Andreas Wii port.

I'd only buy that if I could strap the Wiimote around my pants and play Hot Coffee with it.

Anyway, I have a sneaking suspicion that this is 2D and it wasn't shown because media reaction would've been negative. This way everyone is thinking "GTA YESSS!!" rather than "Aw man, top down GTA?" I couldn't care either way as long as it turns out good.

They said that it was the same type of open world, free roaming experience as the the recent console GTA games and it takes place in a "modern" Liberty City (I assume that means GTA 4's Liberty City). Sounds 3D/3rd person to me.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 16, 2008, 01:19:28 PM »

bah. GTF outa Liberty City, I've always hated that environment, it needs color and style. Not blandness. I want the Vice City style to come back.

Rhoq · « **Reply #10 on:** July 16, 2008, 01:21:30 PM »

The official press release doesn't reveal much about the gameplay, but it does shed a little bit light on the story...

Go tell New York that.

They should make a GTA of the real GTA.

I had GTA for the GBA and it was so bad I got from a bargain bin for ten dollars. It didn't stop me from playing, what did was the major glitch that prevented me from beating the game EVER.
I hope at least this one is as good as the PSP title. Generally I'm very bored with GTA ideas and functionality. I really could care how great the game looks because shooting at people is still shooting at people. But since there's nothing I can think of that allows me to call tanks from the sky and wreck havoc on poor fools then I am all for it.
My first response when I heard the press conference was "It's about time". Let's hope it's worth it. Also New York has an insane amount of style and color, it isn't our fault developers can't reflect that *psh*

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2008, 08:55:05 PM »

So you DON'T want to be able to call tanks down with the cheats?

TheFleece · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2008, 08:59:05 PM »

No I want a code for it to rain tanks, it's the best cheat ever.

New details from UGO via GoNintendo:

http://gonintendo.com/?p=51625#more-51625

20+ hours gameplay
sniper rilfe assembly minigame
Single Open World map with Cop and Pedestrian AI

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2008, 05:15:35 PM »

So I'm betting we are eating right of their hand because they know exactly what we want to know. So they can announce little details not pertaining to whether it's fully 3d or not, while we pay attention to their every word.

I could buy this, one day.

Any chance of this being at Nintendo's Fall Conference?

I wouldn't think so, but the next issue of Nintendo Power is supposed to have a feature on it.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #21 on:** September 18, 2008, 07:27:57 PM »

I got that issue today. I'm not interested in the game so i haven't read the article yet, but I looked at the screenshots. It's top-down, and it looks like it's 3D and cel-shaded.

I may not be a fan of the game series, but man that art style looks really cool.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #24 on:** September 19, 2008, 10:14:15 PM »

Man I so called this being 2D. I'm pretty GTA'ed out at this point so I'm going to file this one under "bargain bin purchase."
