OMG GTA CHINATOWN WARS! Trailers are released

Chunkey · on 03-01-2009 06:21 AM

There's finally trailers out for the game, spent a nice chunk of my life on this game, sadly I did not see the development through to the end. Just chuffed as hell that it's finally about to be released and looking the mutt's nuts

And from what I've seen in the gameplay trailer, there are a fair few bits in there that I worked on but there is a chance other artists may have touched the assets after I'd left.

Got to admit though, I'm feeling happy and sad at the same time seeing it as I'm proud of what I'd done but at the same time sad because I never saw it through to the end due to moving back nearer to my family.

Anyways less babbling here's those sexeh vids

Just wanna say congrats to all the gang at R* Leeds and hope it goes on to create a new benchmark on what can be done with a Nintendo DS

Congrats to you, Chunkey and to all the other Polycount Rockstar Leeds crew that worked on this game. It looks really nice and reminds me a lot of the first GTA game.

Daaammmnn man, must have been a fun project to work on

Looks really good, this maaaayyy be the title that I buy a ds for, I've been craving top down gta for awhile now.

Andreas · on 03-01-2009 05:22 PM

This looks bloody incredible!

Only thing I notice is that the hotwiring might get annoying if you have to do that very often. But I am definitely getting this on release!

adam · on 03-01-2009 05:50 PM

Yes! It looks like GTA 1 and 2 with updated 3D shennanigans!

adam · on 03-01-2009 05:53 PM

Damn! This makes me feel good to see as it reminds me of GTA I & II! Hopefully it plays well on the tiny DS screens otherwise Adam's gonna hafta slap a bitch!

I hope not. I had a Hare Krishna girl telling me how horrible video games were and how I should seek some less spiritually destructive employment because of that whole Gouranga business. I suspect Rockstar probably copped a lot of flack for it.

Game is looking great, Chunkey.

instead of trying to cobble together some half baked gta game on the ds that is meant to look like the new gta, they create an entirely new game with gameplay cues to the original.

rockstar, you rock my world. brilliant!

PixelMasher · on 03-02-2009 02:34 AM

wow for the 1st time since it was announced ive only just now seen what its like, I was expecting a 2d sprite based game and was expecting something lame but that looks dope, really cool seeing the 3d stuff being done well on the DS.

odium · on 03-02-2009 02:36 AM

Is there an actual release date for this bad boy...?

I can't say "This far" im impressed, but its one of those games that I really will have to play. Some of the mini games are just insane, but insane in a GOOD way lol.

Defo a Try before I buy type of game, but I want to love it

ColinR · 03:03 AM

I haven't played my DS in ages, and I'm really looking forward to this after just finishing The Lost and The Damned.

Congrats to R* Leeds and anyone else who worked on the title.

Saw these images somewhere, thought might be worthy of posting them in this thread.

Looks gorgeous for a DS game. Think it's due out 20th March.

peppi · on 03-02-2009 02:59 AM

Nice one Chunkey and R*Leedsers. I was unsure about GTA on DS at first but the game looks awesome.

odium · on 03-02-2009 02:59 AM

WTF? Is that it? Looks nothing like the game I saw when i last looked, it was all sprite based and looked worse than GTA1!

That looks awesome

So is it GTA4's city on DS then? If so... Amazing!

rolfness · on 03-02-2009 03:27 AM

awesome work chunkey !! fucking funny, Im going to avenge my father and restore my family's pride.. lool

Andreas · on 03-02-2009 05:27 AM

Cheers for those images Colin!

carlo_c · on 03-02-2009 01:28 PM

Wow that looks amazing, just watched the trailers and I can't wait for this to come out.

DS still has a lot of life left in it

Seems like a technical marvel as to how good it looks and runs in the trailer lol.

danr · on 03-17-2009 03:33 PM

currently riding silly high on metacritic

i think you should probably all go and buy it. Like, now, or something

adam · on 03-17-2009 03:45 PM

Got it, playing it, so far I like it BUT the controls are far more static than GTA4 so my brain is taking some time settling on the new scheme.

bounchfx · on 03-17-2009 07:11 PM

just bought it on my play home. gonna try it after I do more thumbnails, as a reward to myself for doing more
