If they don't hurry, they will be competing with all the gameloft apps promised for december (Nova, Driver, MC: Sandstorm update, etc.).
Hey we are talking about GTA here and Rockstar should and will take all the times it needs to get it right. The controls and the whole game mechanics were perfect for the ds. They obviously brought it as good as possible to the psp with improved graphics. I think the hardest part is to get the controls right for the iphone. I would choose GTA anytime over some Gameloft Game and i sure that a lot of people would. Besides that, one screenshot just to see how it looks ...
why is everyone hating on gangstar so much? You realize that they took a 2d top-down GTA-1 style game made for cells, added a 3d engine and some more stuff, and made it GTA-like. Whereas rockstar just ported over a 2.5d (though well received) title. It's not GTA like you know it. Read the DS or PSP reviews. For me, the perspective matters a LOT. Feeling like I'm actually playing, you know, instead of watching? Of course I know gangstar has its issues, like feeling cheap and not having as many 'extra' 'innovative' features like GTA4 (though I did enjoy riding motorcycles down country roads a whole lot...) this GTA is NOT GTA IV.
Have you played the game at all to jump to such a conclusion? I'm assuming you're one of these next-gen kids bitching about how you wanted it to be a 'behind the back' perspective? This was one of the best made open-world games in a while. Gameplay> Perspective/graphics.... Also, how can you compare Gangstar to any aspect of GTA4? A multi-million dollar masterpiece to a 3 month cellphone game?
Go over to Rockstar Classics and Download GTA 2 which they released for free and See for yourself how a Not 3D GTA with Great controls plays and you will See Why everyone would take a Top down GTA Game over a 3D Gameloft Ripp-Off one.
Gangstar as technially impressive as it is lacks GTA's soul. It's a graphically impressive, well designed and perfectly competent and enjoyable game. But in comparison to GTA it feels barren and lifeless and has nowhere near the fun factor that GTA has. From a gameplay and design standpoint, Chinatown Wars is light years beyond Gangstar.
we are not saying that Gangstar is a bad game. It is actually a good game, but the GTA series has proven itself in many ways. I played both Gangstar and GTA: CW on the DS, and i can tell you that i prefer CW over Gangstar due to its addictive gameplay (especially the drug trade part). I finished the story mode in GTA but that doesnt necessarily mean that its over. there are still many things left to do and many drug dealer left to discover. so don't just look at the graphics but also the gameplay and the replay values of the game as well. Maybe this is something you might only understand if you actually played it. remember this: you would not have Gangstar without GTA.
yeah china town wars is the best handheld sandbox game by a mile, beats the PSP's liberty city and vice city stories easily. and nothing currently on the iphone comes even close people who haven't played it should not judge it just because its 2d, you need to play it, its BRILLIANT
It is not 2D. It is 3D with a 3/4 view point. Exactly the same as the one used in payback. It has a cell shaded graphics style on some elements though, which may fool some people into thinking that it is 2D.
i hope this game will be like on psp. i dont want anymore this games with 8 missions ! i dont care how big this game will be , 2gb, f*** it, i will find space where to instal this game !!! Rockstar, send this game out !
Geez it's been 3 months since this game was announced and since then, not as much as a peep other than 1 or 2 "it's still coming" type notices. What's up with this, is it ever coming out?
