- M-rating
- Isometric camera angle
- Cel-shaded polygons w/ black borders
- good touch-screen implementation - 'tasteful' minigames, streamlining interface
- UI based on a PDA - hub for email, contacts, map, music player, GPS, stat-tracking
- stats uploaded to Rockstar Social Club website via Wi-Fi
- finger-sized icons
- missions designed for shorter periods of play, arcade quality
- aiming with control pad, auto targeting with R button
- subtle autosteer
- if you fail a mission, you can jump back to the action sequence
- chain gun, flamethrower
- good portion of Liberty City is modeled in the game (different routes than console games)
- no probems with load times, draw-in or frame rate
- lots of pedestrians, cars, etc on screen
- Wanted system - objective is to disable police cars any way possible
- real-time weather effects, 24-hour day/night cycle
- lots of radio stations to listen to (more instrumentals than vocals)
- 800,000 lines of hand-optimized source code (hey, the people like the info, right?)
- no details yet on multiplayer/Wi-Fi features
I'm glad that they are going with an iso camera...but touch screen stuff? I dont know about all that...
Hey guys, check out my blog: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/Knives/gta-chinatown-wars-sucks/30-11754/
here are about 15 screens, it looks pretty good actually
"Hey guys, check out my blog: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/Knives/gta-chinatown-wars-sucks/30-11754/Not too shabby.I have a few more and better screenshots there. It really doesn't look as bad as the shots in this thread. I'm actually really excited for this game after the scans/info.

The only reason i can think of that you cant appreciate this is that you want this to be your GTA4 DS.
This thread is extremely sad. The game looks fantastic on the DS, they even made a completely new artstyle to match the systems capabilities, and the screens (all of them, not just the two bad ones in the first post) look like this could finally be a worthy successor GTA and GTA2, which I'm sure most of the people posting here haven't even played.
I strongly suggest everyone looking at the nintendoeverything-screens: http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=3857
My only gripe is: Why, why did they use polygonal cars and people instead of using sprites? Sprites would look and work much better, and by the look of those screens they can only have, like, 5 or 6 people and 3/4 cars simultanously on the screens (2000 visibly poly limit on the DS). Instead we get stupid poly character with the cheap black outline that is found on many DS games.

"GTA 1 and 2 are legally downloadable for free atBu-bu-but its not on PS3 and its not even 3D! This shit is sooo gaaaay!

Man, those other screens make it look ALOT better. I also think people forgot that the top two are scans and the rest are taken from a camera. I want to see this sonnabitch in motion.
I think the game would be great, you want to know what other game would be great for the DS? its my game Robocop vs The Terminator, remember that game? it was a great game.

"AaronBelfast said:We both know GTA is not meant for the DS, Rockstar said themselves they wanted to make GTAIV as real as possible, even getting rid of the fun things that was in previous GTAs just to make GTAIV a bit more realistic. So why the hell are they making GTA for the DS? I'll tell you why, because this is they're chance to milk the GTA franchise to make a bit of easy money and then blame the DS as the as the reason the Chinatown Wars is such a bad game, in terms of graphics and gameplay. Hell, PSX games looked better than this.Yes I did. Look at the GTA games released on PSX from birds eye view, they were shit. Not to mention this is 2008."I played through those "shit" games actually, and the fact that it is 2008 has nothing to do with it.

"Graphics Whore said:Graphics whore? I'm just pointing out that a yet to be released game has worse graphics than a 14 year old game. It would be OK if the gameplay made up for it but from what I've seen that looks crap too."Hell, PSX games looked better than this."Well, duh. The PSX is technically superior to the DS."
I actually have a lot of faith in this and Rockstar, this will be great!
Thanks for the shots/links everyone

GTA
GTA 2
China Town Wars
And Jesus Christ, you've already seen all the game play just by looking at a couple of scans? China Town Wars it NOT Grand Theft Auto IV. It is NOT Grand Theft Auto V. It is NOT Liberty City Stories 2. It is a spiritual successor to the Classic ( have you even played them? ) GTAs of old. Get it?
