First GTA: Chinatown Wars screenshots released

Looks awful. Absolutely terrible.

It’s probably saved me from even thinking about a DS to play it on at least, even as a huge GTA fan that’s rather disappointing.

What did you expect from the DS?

The top-down 3rd person isometricish view may turn out to be the best solution for the system.

Compare the size of the people with the cars, it looks ridiculous.

those screens don’t tell you very much I would hold off judging this till you see in game footage.

Biggest problem I find with looking at screenies of DS games is the image size. Depending on your screen size the images you look at could be twice to 3 times the size of the DS screen which obviously makes things look awful, terribly pixelated ( more so than it actually will be on the still admittedly pixelly DS ) and just rubbish. It’s no great indicator of how it will look on the DS imo.

Is doesn’t look THAT bad. Bear in mind these are scans, which degrades the quality, and the images are enlarged to a size much bigger than the DS’s resolution. Anyway, most DS games look crap in screenshots. Not saying this game will be great, but I don’t think those screens are very representative of the quality.

Wow, I didn’t realise they were doing it for the Commodore 64! Awesom… oh.

Given the GTA series peaked with the London expansion pack, I’m all for a return to old-school viewing angles. But yeah, this all looks a bit, bleugh.

Blerk:

I said this the other day.

Ecu there’s no point defneding it.

The franchise is undergoing the milking process now.

I’d love something with the originality of GTA 2 to arise. Its never ever going to happen though.
