GRAND THEFT AUTO

[Crimson_King]

Anyone know if GTA is scheduled for PSP????and if so is it just a remake or is it brand new and is it the 2d over head or the 3d like on a PS2(which i would anticipate)?And if its brand new where it's set and other specs on the game. thnx guys

[Blake]

I dont believe anyone knows, no. If it is to come on to the PSP I wouldnt expect anything near as spectacular as you see on the PS2.

[halo2master]

I herd that it was going to come out for the psp but I think it is going to be the same as the one in the gba. Dont quote me on this because I an not sure. Sorry I dont have any sure answers.

[Crimson_King]

i think it would have the potential to be a good game and a great hit

[knowitman]

I truly doubt they would port the GBA version to PSP when the PSP has TONS more potential for better gfx, sounds, bigger levels, etc.

[Crimson_King]

you'd definately hope so. but i think it would be great if they just remade vice city i think that would be great

Taken from a Take 2 Press release.

Take 2 Games confirmed that an Xbox version of GTA: San Andreas is on the cards, and unveiled the release dates for Europe and North America.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the Xbox® and PC will be in stores in North America on June 7th, 2005 and in Europe on June 10th, 2005.

In a near simultaneous press release, Take 2 revealed its plans for 2005 alongside financial results for Q4, 2004. However, most interestingly is a statement referring to Sony's forthcoming Playstation Portable Console.

Additional products planned for fiscal 2005 from Rockstar include a new console title based on a proven brand from Rockstar's internal studios, titles based on two of Rockstar's premier brands for Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation®Portable platform (PSP™) and the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in Japan.

Think what you may but this is the closest to a confirmation so far.

[Crimson_King]

so all its saying is that rockstar plans on making a game for it right?

[Evolution]

so all its saying is that rockstar plans on making a game for it right?

Its saying that two of their main franchises are being developed for the PSP. (I think)

If it is I think it would be GTA and Midnight Club would be the two premier brands they are talking about.

[Crimson_King]

so GTA we would hope would be produced but nay guesses on game numero dos?

[Evolution]

so GTA we would hope would be produced but nay guesses on game numero dos?

What was that?

[Crimson_King]

sorry, any guess on game number two.since u said from the statement that there planning on 2 games

[Evolution]

As I said, I think the two would be GTA and Midnight Club.

I wouldnt get that excited over Midnight Club as im more looking forward to Need for speed: Rivals on PSP.

[FmanFORPS3]

[Evolution]

Yes they are the same.

[Crimson_King]

well i am looking forward to GTA on PSP but i look MORE forward to MC...i dunno whats about MC but i just loved and still love MC2

[Crimson_King]

yeah i cant wait for the psp. but GTA would be killer and that NFS cover just looks cool.

[Playstation4life]

You know how you could get birds eye veiw on GTA three. i bet you if its gunna be birds eye view its gunna be like that.. only with extra cars, helicopters etc... I would love to see MC come onto PSP I guess Rcokstars newly acuired Leeds studios (knowen as Rockstar leeds) are set on next generation portable games and will help develope the two franchises for the DS or PSP.

[Crimson_King]

i doubt and seriously hope they dont do the birds eye view. i mean the gba has gta with birds eye view and if the PSP is as great as it seems to be it should be able to handle a GTA for ps2 like GTA 3

[Jesus1]

Even the case looks sweet. I want one so bad. I can not wait till March.

[Evolution]

This is a GTA thread, if you want to say things like that go to the 'Thoughts on the PSP' thread.

[Crimson_King]

lol, i think he meant the PSP would look so much sweeter with GTA on the screen, and i would have to agree.lol

[Evolution]

You wanted GTA on PSP you got it, here you go, official word from Rockstar.

GTA Coming To PSP

A couple of major franchises have been confirmed for the Playstation Portable.

Sam Houser, Vice President of Rockstar Games has confirmed that they are developing a new Grand Theft Auto title for the handheld, which is being created by the same studio who made Max Payne for the Game Boy Advance.

Another Playstation regular that has been confirmed was Dark Cloud by Level 5.

We'll have more in the coming days and months as information pertaining to the PSP's North American release get confirmed.

[Crimson_King]

dark cloud!!!freakin sweet

[Epsilon-Zero]

i dunno if they could fit GTA3 on a umd. GTA3 was upwards of the current 1.4gb size of the umd. not sure if its powerful enough to take on the game without some drawbacks.

[Evolution]

More on that story on GTA on PSP.

Rockstar Games Announces PSP Lineup
Includes new Grand Theft Auto title.

January 10, 2005 - Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and a brand new iteration of Grand Theft Auto for the highly anticipated PSP(TM) handheld system. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and the new Grand Theft Auto title, which will be set in Liberty City, are being developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar North, respectively. Both titles are expected to be available near the launch of the PSP handheld system in North America and Europe.

"Bringing two of our most successful game franchises to this thrilling new platform not only gives us an opportunity to create a new dimension for these already extraordinary series but also allows us to begin to explore the full potential of the PSP handheld system," said Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games. "Sony's extremely impressive technology has allowed Rockstar Leeds to do more on a handheld machine than we could have ever imagined. We are very excited for gamers to experience these two genre-defining franchises in a fashion that could have never before been possible on a portable system."

"We are working very closely with Rockstar North and Rockstar San Diego to ensure that both Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition remain faithful to the initial vision of these respective franchises," said Gordon Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds. "We understand that gamers' expectations will be very high for new PSP handheld system titles and we are confident that we can deliver exhilarating experiences that will set the standard for what a PSP game can be with Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and our new Grand Theft Auto title."

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition has previously been announced for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system and Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft.

[Playstation4life]

allowed Rockstar Leeds


Told you rockstar's newley acquired studio A.k.a rockstar leeds will have been named for developing these games... and i hope to see Smugglers run come out on PSP that game was quite entertaining and would be great for wi fi play...

[Ebenie]

There will actually be a GTA on the PSP. we already have a release date for it where I work, so I kno tha it's coming. it's actually slated for near the american release date, but that could change ; still, it would be nice to actually see it be fairly close.

[Crimson_King]

that would be sick if it came out that soon, and where do you work, eb games?

[Constantine827]

this will be a nice addition to the PSP's post-launch line-up, i wonder how it looks, probably looks like vice city graphics, which are nice. i cant wait to hear what RPG's are going to be announced for the PSP (sorry for going off topic)

[FmanFORPS3]

dont worry, your not going off topic. Your still talking about Grand Theft Auto...

[Colonel Cortez]

I dont know if anyone posted this already, but GTA psp will be set in the same city as in GTA3, liberty(and not the Liberty City from GTA 1 and the GBA GTA). It's suposed to have impresive graphics and the same open ended gameplay as the console counterpart, i dont know how much i should believe this. but i'll play along for now

[Playstation4life]

Cortez, guess wich city your in in GTA 3? Liberty city! just to clear up some confusion before we have another 'sin city' fiasco lol. If it didnt happen on this forum it certanly happend in my hood.

[FmanFORPS3]

Me, I did like GTA3 more than GTA vice city. I felt like there was something wrong with the colours and every time I looked at the screen, my eyes would hurt (GTA Vice City). On the other hand, GTA3 IMO was a great GTA game so if they do set the PSP GTA in Liberty City, I would definitely buy it.

[Colonel Cortez]

Cortez, guess wich city your in in GTA 3? Liberty city! just to clear up some confusion before we have another 'sin city' fiasco lol. If it didnt happen on this forum it certanly happend in my hood.

You obviously cant read because i said GTA psp will be set in the same city as in GTA3, liberty, wich means if you could read, that it is set in the same city as in GTA3 WICH IS LIBERTY CITY a new york mock up, and NOT the same city as in GBA Grand theft auto game or GTA 1, sheez. I guess you can read but you raced through it fast so you didnt see what i wrote.....atleast i hope you did that!!!. And just for the record i have GTA3 for both PC and PS2(not x box though). Vice and San andreas is also in my collection :)

[Crimson_King]

Cortez do you know if the game will be the GTA3 one or if it will Expand on that or will it be a totally new story in Liberty City?

[Playstation4life]

Its will probably be a totally new story, that could possible have clive speed again as the main character. (clive speed is his name, if you dont belive me google search it)

[Crimson_King]

CLive SPeed? I belive you but is he from another game? or brand new. and hey PS4life while your at google look up this guy Sidd Finch. this guy is amazing.

[Colonel Cortez]

Clive Speed, cool, untill now everyone has called him Fido, like all the big game sites. And i guess it will be a new story since the PSP aint sp streaming friendly:)

[mckmas8808]

The release date for the psp is released. It is April 15th

Here's the link ----> http://spong.com/detail/news.asp?mode=news&type=n&cid=&pid=&vid=&prid=8333&n=PSP+Grand+Theft+Auto+Dated

[FmanFORPS3]

you already stated that in the thread you made 'GTA for the PSP Dated'. please dont post the same thing twice.

[Crimson_King]

sorry fmanforps3 but i think i asked him to reiterate it here seeming how this is a GTA thread ofr PSP.

[FmanFORPS3]

oh, ok no worrys. I was just wondering why he would post it twice, oh well.

[cyrusmg]

So if the next GTA is based on Liberty City, what are the odds that this is an indication that we are going to get to see Liberty city in the next GTA game on PS3?

Cause if the story from the PSP stopped right where the story on the PS3 picks up, that would be sweet. Of course the stories have all kind of had something to do with each other, but they were all in different cities, so it is obviously not a lock that the PS3 would be inliberty city, but i just think it would be a cool way to get people to buy both games.

[mckmas8808]

Good idea but I hope you are wrong. I want to see as many different cities as possible.

[Thegamingdwarf]

Yeah i totally agree with mcKmas8808 as many different cities would be alot better, especially since the UMD disc is bigger you would be able to put lots of cities on there. It would be better though to make each city the area of Vice though because it takes forever to get from one place toanther on San Andreas!

[Crimson_King]

hey Thegamingdwarf the PSP UMD has about 1/3 the space of a DVD disc like the one for GTA SA. but i do not see liberty city being used again after this, I believe they are using it for the PSP for the fact that it was already made, it was small, and people loved it.
