are there any gta: chinatown wars scans

[Himu]

Info posted on gaf, but I'm interested in how it looks

[demi]

what a fucking loser

[Himu]

Didn't you learn your lesson with 4?

I just wanna know how it looks. I mean, cel shaded?

[Rman]

nvm

[cool breeze]

- 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.

Destroying cars ? blerg. Fail total

[cool breeze]

- 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

It's a GTA game, of course it's gonna look like shit.

GTA4 may have been a slummy game, but graphically it was pretty nice. 

[Eel O'Brian]

Grimy Brown Colors does it for you?

[onsedatives]

Isometric GTA? 

Dig through trash to find weapons? WTF is this shit? It's an abomination that's what, they need to can it ASAP.

[Crushed]

Digging through trash to find things: directly inspired by Rockstar's brainstorming sessions.

[Tieno]

  800,000 lines of hand-optimized code 

[TVC15]

ANY SCANS OF THIS GREAT DS GAME THAT USES ALMOST 1M LINES OF HAND-OPTIMIZED CODE?

I WONDER IF YOUR 8 INCH CRT COULD DISPLAY THOSE SCANS IN ALL THEIR GLORY!

[TVC15]

PROBABLY!

It's a monochrome BTW

Not even CGA?  smh

[Crushed]

goty

[y2kev]

WOW

[cool breeze]

Surprisingly not shit.  Not good or anything, but decent enough.

China Wars best GTA game since GTA2? Seems so.

[Crushed]

oh boy camera pictures of a glossy curved magazine page

[Mrbob]

Wow.

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.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Fuck you idiots, GTA:SA is amazing and still the best GTA.

[pilonv1]

yes SA rules.

This looks awesome though. DS redeemed?

[Hollywood]

OMG ITS A GTA GAME.  ITS MAINSTREAM. TROLL IT, NOW! 

[cool breeze]

I would have respect for Rockstar if you could find copies of GTA4 in the trash.

[pilonv1]

Not just copies, whole boxes of them.

[pilonv1]

ea should licence this engine for a new syndicate game

[chronovore]

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.

Some more screens out now:

CAR JUMP

CAR JUMP

Huh?

BTW, I like the graphics on the characters. These look like comic legend Brian Wood's pieces for GTA3.


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

[pilonv1]

theres licenced music in the game

its instrumental only though

[chronovore]

Hah! Return to midi-land for music. Maybe it'll all be licensed electronica... ;-)
