- Quicksilver4648, on 07/15/2008, -2/+25It is going to be highly interesting to see how this turns out. Is it only going to be 2d or will it manage 3d? Only time will tell.
- Chebsi, on 07/16/2008, -4/+15Hopefully it's 2D.
- winmywii, on 07/16/2008, -0/+14GTA 2 was awesome.
- Chebsi, on 07/16/2008, -0/+13Indeed. I had good times on the school computers playing GTA 2.
Unfortunately none of the 3D GTAs could hold my interest as much. - awtripp, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2That is unfortunate because they were amazing games. Did you use cheat codes? The games lost their fun a lot quicker if you cheated. Much more fun just playing it as it was meant to be played. Vice City was cool, then you could swim in San Andreas and that was amazing, then 4 came out and just was a friggin' blast.
- meepus, on 07/16/2008, -0/+7You could swim in Super Mario Bros in 1985. What was so hard about adding it to a PS2 game?
- ninetimes, on 07/16/2008, -7/+0The DS isn't all that powerful, so I'd expect it will be top-down 2D, similar to the original GTA or GTA2. It could still be fun, though.
- iofthestorm, on 07/16/2008, -0/+9It might be top-down 3D like Zelda Phantom Hourglass. That style allows for nice effects and easy control.
- Konstantino, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2The DS was built to support 3D graphics as much as 2D graphics. Don't underestimate it.
- Chebsi, on 07/16/2008, -4/+15Hopefully it's 2D.
- xerograde, on 07/15/2008, -1/+17This will be interesting. Gameplay footage please!
- badwithcomputer, on 07/15/2008, -10/+5damn...i might need to finally buy a ds to play this.
- kurupttek, on 07/15/2008, -9/+4Wow I haven't use My DS in few months but now Wow!
but No Niko! :-(- xsquirrel378x, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2No Niko? Good. Bring back Tommy Vercetti aka Ray Liotta :)
- mnky9800n, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2I'm glad someone could say it!

- ParadoxControl, on 07/16/2008, -2/+1I was just thinking the same thing.
- alexra, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1sometimes they give you a choice of pictures you can use
- iofthestorm, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2And sometimes they don't, I'm guessing this was one of those times lol.
- Schda, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4And if one doesn't fit, you can always choose no picture instead of an unrelated one.
- Konstantino, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2What's with it linking to the home page of Kotaku and not a direct article?
- NRay7882, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1More so, what's with the "Chinatown" movie poster?
- ParadoxControl, on 07/16/2008, -2/+1I was just thinking the same thing.
- Haoie, on 07/15/2008, -1/+32To be fair, there was a GTA title for the GBA. Not a very good one, though.
- potterboy, on 07/16/2008, -0/+15It was ok, if you like the 2D GTA games.
- Elliottx, on 07/15/2008, -21/+4Features;
-Create and customize your childish avatar, choosing from over 100 different pieces! (Obligatory OVER 9000!!!)
-All guns, knives, and explosives have been replaced with walkie talkies.
-Emoticons are now in the game!
-All drugs, sex, and offensive language have been replaced with Cheerios, Tonka Toys and "Fiddlesticks"
-You can connect to Nintendo WiFi and exploit our flawed trading system.
-EVERYTHING IS ANIME OMG!
I could probably do this all day but you get my drift here. This'll either be a top down "old school" GTA which it probably should be with the only time the touch screen is ever used it to purchase items or look at your new inventory you will be getting.
For the record I'm what would be classes as a "Nintendo Fan Boy" ...You gotta admit they do love their childish games.- madformadness, on 07/16/2008, -6/+2Why are people digging that comment down? Can't you guys take a joke?
- Acglaphotis, on 07/16/2008, -2/+5When they are funny, we can.
- AparoidX, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Buried for "Over 9000"... this isn't 2006.

- eyefone, on 07/15/2008, -16/+2Lol, if I wanted GTA I'd buy a PSP.
- xino, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Some people already played through GTA LCS and VCS on the PSP. Those people might want a new portable GTA and this is their next option.
- t3hmyth, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10Dugg for Chinatown. That was an awesome film.
- fudged71, on 07/16/2008, -12/+1the quality on the DS is going to suck balls
just so you know
I love my DS... but I'll probably pass on this game- AparoidX, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1Transformers for the DS pulled off the free-world aspect pretty good. Now it wasn't that good of a game, but it still managed to work. I can see this game pulling it off even better, but I can't make any judgments with the lack of information available.
- LOLPROFIT, on 07/16/2008, -4/+37Halo 4 Confirmed for DS

- purelithium, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Who do you think you are? Dr. Watson?
- sjmulder, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Yes, something needs to combobreak all these familiar faces and places on the Wii that we've seen one very other Nintendo console already.
- tikited, on 07/16/2008, -2/+3This could be the gta game from n64 that was never released. kinda of lame for a ds game and would prefer a wii version instead. Conservative Parents are going to AWOL this game with crazy Jack Thompson. Wait till gta input voice chat in to the gta ds.
- Wiinii, on 07/16/2008, -8/+3Doesn't matter that this is already on front page, Kotaku can still get enough cronies to get a dupe posted too.
Digg is now simply a marketing tool for Kotaku, Gizmodo, and Joystiq.- dysfunction, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Hey, that's not true!
What about ThinkProgress, Huffington Post, Cracked, Divine Caroline....- Wiinii, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Those too, but I was referring to in the games section.
- barnett25, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Yeah! Where are the obscure blogs with crappy old content? I'm sick of digg articles that link to popular websites.
- dysfunction, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Hey, that's not true!
- Geebower, on 07/16/2008, -13/+0this game will no doubt suck. rockstar made a terrible decision developing for the ds considering it is mainly used by kids. anyone who is a fan of gta most likely doesn't own a ds, and are probably not planning on buying one for this game. rockstar should focus on making updates to gta 4, which is lacking features in many ways.
- Sairgem, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10Spoken like a true insecure teenager.
- artofficial, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6DS has sold over 70 million worldwide.
It's the most popular next gen handheld in the world.
oh.. and uhhh.. you're a idiot. - BinaryFragger, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5A terrible mistake?
Right, releasing a well-known gaming franchise on one of the most popular gaming system. What is Rockstar thinking?!
- Clugenheim, on 07/16/2008, -0/+15BTW, the official website for this game has the Nintendo wifi logo on it. I wonder what they have planned for that.
http://www.rockstargames.com/chinatownwars/- StarWarsWise, on 07/16/2008, -1/+3Hopefully something that works. Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, and Brawl are awesome, but we need other games with real and awesome online.
- HumanRecalled, on 07/16/2008, -6/+1so what it will only be a downward look or a 2d side scrolled style game.
- Discobiscuits, on 07/16/2008, -9/+1It's going to ***** suck.
- sncshesh, on 07/16/2008, -1/+3Are they going to give it the Prince of Persia DS treatment?
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/26/ubisoft-unveils- ...
After all, only kids play on Nintendo systems, right Ubisoft?- Shagin, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Muppet babyish GTA? sign me up
- Archaic1, on 07/16/2008, -1/+10How about a PC version Rockstar?
- dysfunction, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4There will be a PC version of GTA IV, but probably not for another 6 months to a year- just as with GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.
- Archaic1, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1Well they could at least confirm it then so I can be sure not to buy a 360 just for it. If I'm going to have to buy one to play it I'd rather do it now so I can at least find others to play online with instead of waiting and wondering.
- Rosco, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1We can only hope so.
- dysfunction, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4There will be a PC version of GTA IV, but probably not for another 6 months to a year- just as with GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.
- blumathu, on 07/16/2008, -1/+14Why didn't the Wii get any love?
- endlessoul, on 07/16/2008, -2/+7Because your mother hates you.
- sjmulder, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2It got more plastic white accessories!
- dsmx, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1I can only see this game being a top down GTA. GTA just about worked on the psp and the ds isn't as powerful.
- Sairgem, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2GTA worked great on the PSP. Vice City Stories was just about as good as it was on PS2, except for the fact that there's only one analog stick on the psp. I couldn't see a 3D GTA working on the DS though, as much as I love the little system.
- championchap, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1The ghosting was a big issue for me on the PSP.
- cryonix, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5finally, at least this article I can digg. The last one said it was for the WII.

- RobotLeAwesome, on 07/16/2008, -1/+6If it's not 2D it will suck giant balls.
- iammzac, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1REDUX?
- theragu40, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1This could be big. I'm talking huge.
- hoowahman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Yeah in order for this game to work it'll have to have a polish 2d look and feel. If they try anything 3d on the DS with that kind of game style it will definitely suck and lack.
- vdogg89, on 07/16/2008, -7/+1DS is soo 2006
- AparoidX, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Actually, the DS has been living strong for a few months shy of 4 years, so I don't know what you're talking about.
- LavaWarrior, on 07/16/2008, -8/+2Great, so now all the 12 year old kids can finally play GTA!
- AparoidX, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5They already do, it's called the PSP

- BinaryFragger, on 07/16/2008, -2/+6The PSP fanboys are almost as annoying as the Apple fanboys. Almost.
- ATLien74, on 07/16/2008, -5/+1Neither are as annoying as the random fanboy hater that's just trolling.
- AparoidX, on 07/16/2008, -2/+4I don't know why people are already saying "This will be awesome" and "This will fail". The only information we have at this time is the name, platform, publisher, producer, and the fact that it has Nintendo WiFi Connection.
Some of you people are just absurd.- meepus, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Welcome to Digg, where the most intelligent comment on the subject at hand is modded down.
- Adwt0125, on 07/16/2008, -3/+1Yes - good old "mondren-day"
- pagno, on 07/16/2008, -4/+2Umm... no. Please. Dont. Do. That... ok. no.
- pinje, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2I actually hope its going to be top-down 2D. Would bring back good memories of the first GTA games which were great, maybe they should bring them out again on the DS.
Will be interesting to see what the "use of the touch screen" plans are. - bleachlizard, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1At least someone was paying attention... thank you for getting it right. Someone else posted something similar earlier, but put Wii in the description instead of DS. He almost had me stoked for just shelling out the $$ for my kid's Wii.
But, seriously, thanks for making sure you didn't make the mistake (don't see how anyone could anyway). - Claude1971, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Hot Coffee with the stylus? hmmmmmmmm!!!
