The latest issue of EDGE revealed that the forthcoming DS game Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars contains more lines of code than the 2004 PS2 game San Andreas. According to the magazine the game is feature complete and is almost ready to ship, complete with a variety of "well integrated" mini games and advanced touch-screen control.
Beginning today, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars are now available for GTA+ Members to play on compatible iOS and Android devices.
Sweet. I loved Liberty City Stories despite the city being empty. Those main story missions were tough but fun.
vgPWN: "Let's pour one out for these games that were awesome, but just didn't sell like gangbusters."
I remember when my friend introduced me to Shenmue II years ago. I went out and bought myself Shenmue for my Dreamcast and Shenmue II for my Xbox. Still got them to this day.
GameCrate: "We take a look at five games and franchises that would be perfect for garnering some potentially strong third-party support (which we're well aware isn't Nintendo's strong point)."
Why do people think putting an M-rated game on Nintendo console will signal an influx of more M-rated title? We've had many M-rated games on Nintendo consoles since the N64. If third parties don't feel that it's profitable to do so in the past 20 years, I doubt they'll change their mind in the next 20 years
i want cod battlefield and gta oh yeah nintendo will win console war easily with those big sellers with better graphics and fps than ps4
It's too late bruh the PS4 took over like 80% of 8th gen home console market share. It will sell like the N64 at best. Unless they are waiting for 9th gen or something which by then will be too late. We all know Nintendo doesn't care about 3rd party. The consoles they create are for their benefit and only their benefit. They do not go to other companies and ask what they may need/want in a console so they can grow and thrive. They are stubborn and do not improve their consoles. They do not live or die on 3rd party and thus are on a one man island.
Sadly to say, but when it comes to Nintendo home consoles, they are almost irrelevant to the average person. Yes the wii Nintendo's best selling console was relevant, but I honestly think it was just a fluke.
Unless Playstation stops getting lots Japanese games I like each gen, then I'll stick with them.
Nintendo needs to bring in more struggling developers in Japan who are still obsessed with Sony, who isn't selling well over there, which is exacerbating their struggles further. Might be able to sell more NXs if it becomes THE place for Japanese niche titles.
That probably means it was harder to develop on the DS, than the PS2, PC and XBOX then.
They Could Easily make a San Andres Story For The PSP Then, but this game does look to be a hit for the DS
Not sure its going to translate well to the DS hope Im wrong but it looks to me like a money grab...
san andreas was fit on a 4.7dvd...this is on a 512mb thing...someone help me please
Although this game is talking the talk, I'm not so sure if it'll walk the walk. Where the hell is the media?! We've not got many screenshots to go on, and no videos to gain an understanding of what it's actually like to play. It's reminiscent of GTA on the GBA, where sfa was shown until the last week or so before release. And it sucked.
