    As of right now, only the title has been released, and that it has a own game play. What are your thougthts of how the game will be? What use will the dual Screen have?

    I have a feeling its going to be a birds eye view game, like the original GTA. The touch Screen is going to use to select items to use in missions.  With Text no voice acting. Perhaps some wi-fi for some type of exclusive stufff.

    I predict it will be something similar to Zelda / Animal Crossing in terms of birds eye view but with 3D graphics.

    I hope your right. I really like that idea. I acually have some hope the game is good. It is being made by Rockstar, and I dont think they would just make a game to make a buck.

    I hope it isn't like the original GTA games with the 2D, since I can't really play those anymore after experiencing the 3D GTA games. It might like the mini-game in Liberty City Stories that was a parody of Smash TV, where the graphics were the same, but it was sort of above-head, and the camera was at like a 45 degree angle from the ground. That would be fine with me.

    I dont know, the DS isnt really capable of powering a good  3D game, the hardware just isnt there.  I would rather see a new version of GTA II.  I know the 2D may seem outdated, but a bad 3D game would suck too.  I spent a lot of time on the 2D games and I can say that they are definatly better than the PSP games.

    I've gotta agree. I'd rather have a well-done 2D GTA than a shoddy 3D one.

    some type of 3d would be cool, but i agree that I much rather have a good  2d GTA game, then a bad fancy graphic one.

    It SHOULD be 2D, but high quality 2D. The DS' 3D blows ass.

    They mentioned a new graphics engine in the conference, so I'm thinking it will be 3D.

    3D GTA on DS = bad

    Top down GTA on DS = good.

    I imagine it will be in bird's eye view with some low 3d graphics.  I'm not really expecting much out of it, so if its any good I can be pleasantly surprised.

    I understand that 2D is the most likely choice they're going to make. That having been said, I never liked the 2D GTA games, so I hope they come up with a 3D engine (one that looks N64-era, but 3D nonetheless) that will not suck.

    At first I was really worried because of the previous hardcore attempts on the DS: Burnout & Resident Evil both legendary fails on the DS.

    But after seeing what they're doing with it, this could be just as (relatively) good as any other GTA. They aren't trying to cram a ps2 style GTA onto the DS. That would've been a disaster. The style is classic (though updated; 3D version of the 2D style) for GTA and will work on the DS. The minigames look like they were also built with mobile gamers in mind. They even recreated my favorite cell phone game of all time: Dope Wars.
    This could very well end up being the best hardcore DS game if they're able to keep with the ingenuity and keep within the limits.
