I just got 1 of the random missions from a pedestrian and it was f**kin' hilarious! This lady from out-of-town was lost and wanted me to take her back to her hotel. Thing is she was a right horny b**ch, and fancies Huang so the chit-chat was great. At the end, when she got to the hotel she left by saying "next time, i'll let you feel my privates". As regard to the screenshot comparison, TouchGen made a video comparison of the Wheelman mission. See it here.
Oh yeah - getting GTA into the hands of someone who couldn't previously attain it, that's easily worth my time.
Poor comparison! They couldn't get a good image of the iPhone recording! Way too blurry, doesn't do the game any justice! This game is a bomb! THE AAA title the App Store has to offer right now. Just perfect!
I have the PSP and iPhone version. I still think the PSP version edges out the iPhone's. The screenshots don't do much justice. This is very clear at night, which I don't see many screenshots of. The lighting effects on the iPhone pale in comparison to the lighting effects of the PSP. In the PSP, headlights and lamp posts actually look like lights, but in the iPhone, they look just like bright balls. I am using an iPhone 3G though and don't know what it looks like on a 3GS.
i got a random mission of this girl who was gonna die in like a day so she wanted to have a lot of fun, i had to drive a car really fast doing jumps, stunt, near misses until her excitement bar was full. awesome stuff.
Pics from my 3GS coming soon guys, most probably tomorrow cuz it's 1 AM here... Gotta sleep ye know )))
If you compare this screen shot from pocket gamer of the iPhone: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/artwork/thumbs/na-nep_grand-theft-auto-chinatown-wars-iphone_8_jpg_300.jpg With this one from IGN: http://pspmedia.ign.com/psp/image/article/101/1019149/grand-theft-auto-chinatown-wars-20090827093518033_640w.jpg You can see what I'm talking about with the night time lighting effects. The PSP leads in this category by a large margin. Not sure what device the pocket gamer pics come from though.
I agree about the lighting (notice the sheen on the cars on that screenshot) -- I'm sure that Rockstar chose to make things simpler on the iPhone/iPod Touch to keep good framerates on older devices. The problem with screenshot comparisons between the iPhone and the PSP, though, is that they do not do justice to the superior clarity of the iPhone/iPod Touch screen. Everything looks somewhat murky and ghosted on my PSP 1000 -- from what I've read, it doesn't seem that the screen of newer models is much better.
Yeah. But I don think that an iphone is capable of doing that. It is obvously running at a higher resolution (it has smoother edges) and on some higher end video power to handle hdd lighting effects of that sort. It would be definatley be a nice touch if they could just put some polish in a graphical update though.
While holding accelerate slide your thumb to the brake. The wire to cut will have a white glow around it.
