Title: Re: are there any gta: chinatown wars scans
Post by: cool breeze on September 18, 2008, 10:41:34 PM: - Uses Isometric Top-Down perspective sort of like old school GTAs, but with 3D cel-shaded graphics.
- Story centers around Huang Lee, a Triad whose father (the boss) is killed and his heirloom, a sword called the Yu Jian, is stolen. Huang must fight back with the help of Wade Heston, a cop.
- Wanted Levels are no longer lost by losing the cops, but by destroying their cars
- Uses the buttons for controls, but the touch screen is used for Huang's PDA (where he can check e-mail, send and receive calls, and listen to music) and several minigames.
- Break the windshield to escape a sinking car, hotwire a car to steal it, dig through trash to find weapons, make bombs, and draw tattoos.
- A "good portion" of Liberty City is in the game, including all five boroughs. The game also features real-time weather, pedestrians, and all the GTA amenities.

If it's on the ds I can guess it looks like shit.
I think I can find out which game you're making now by looking through the credits for a guy with the last name of Kreskin.

Title: Re: are there any gta: chinatown wars scans
Post by: cool breeze on September 18, 2008, 10:48:15 PM: - True GTA game - sandbox gameplay, open-world environment, gritty crime narrative.
- 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

Looks like GTA won't be shit anymore. Old school GTA, the best!

Too bad the DS speakers suck...and the screen is tiny. This would be awesome as a XBLA or PSN game with 5.1 sound.

Agreed that this would be an interesting downloadable title on its own; actually /familiar/ GTA controls might be more welcome than whatever the hell they're going to do with the touchscreen.

Do you actually play your DS without earphones? I can't imagine playing PSP or DS without proper headgear.

Huh?

BTW, I like the graphics on the characters. These look like comic legend Brian Wood's pieces for GTA3 (http://media.ds.gamespy.com/media/142/14266989/imgs_1.html).

...And I guess thedialog will be in audio, since I'm not seeing any subtitles.
