Grand Theft Auto: ChinaTown Wars coming to PSP

[Robert1986]

I can't wait to see how much better it looks on the PSP. The artwork used in this game should look awesome on the PSP screen. I wonder how they will manage all the touch screen stuff though?

Specifically built for the PSP platform with upscaled widescreen graphics, enhanced lighting and animation; and including all-new story missions; this version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will take full advantage of the power of the PSP system.

Isnt it coming to PSPGO, as a downloadable game?

I don;t think it will be as good as the one on DS though but probably better graphic than DS

All PSP's can play downloadable games, but it's coming out on UMD and the PS Store anyway.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Fair enough.
I'll like to see how it pans out on PSP though.

Its the same game. Only the controls will be changed.

I love the DS version, the trafficking gameplay is pretty addictive, and it's easy to get minted
I will buy the PSP version if it is better, and as the OP mentioned, provided they convert the touch screen stuff well to it.

And no touchscreen which is imo what made the minigames so fun on the DS, I'm not holding out for it, I'll wait and see.

Awesome - will have to give this a purchase when it comes out!

Did look really good on the DS.

Any sort of release date touted? Would love this to take on holiday on 15th July...

I hope you mean next July, because there's no way it's going to get released in the next 3 weeks.

Yeah i know it's the same game and maybe the story line as well but on DS you can do it with styli and touch screen i.e. hot wire the car, searching inside the bin, etc and make it so much fun

Personally I found a lot of the touch screen stuff a hassle. Hard to hold the DS for button pressing properly when you've got a stylus balanced between your fingers just in case the next random event demands it.

That said, it's still a bloody fantastic game, and PSP owners should be damned grateful to get it. It's a shame it didn't sell as much as they'd hoped on the DS, as that kind of makes me worry we might not see more of its type.

I am loving this game atm. At first I thought it was a poor mans GTA but having given it a couple of hours I'm really enjoying it. My GF says I love it more than her.

 

[Sinny]

if only the psp Go had a touchscreen It'd be a worthy upgrade for me, I never much enjoyed the other GTA games on the PSP so this will be a breath of oldschool for psp owners.

 

[Robert1986]

and we have an official release date.

Rockstar Games just dropped an October 20 date for Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars PSP.

Wonder how this will pan out. I'll definitely buy it, but I hope they put some decent music in the game unlike the DS version. I was secretly hoping that Rockstar would have worked their witchcraft and set the next mobile GTA game in San Andreas.

Screenshots!

 

[Nymins]

Looks just like the DS one really but with sharper textures. Thought they may have changed the perspective. Oh well!

 

[ic1male]

I was going to say - it doesn't look that much better than the DS version!
