GTA Chinatown Wars: 2D or 3D?

[bah]

I'm with ciper apart from the death to harshboy part.

Him using the qualifier 'I thought' would be nice, as I personally loved GTA2 on PC. Wishing death is taking being a grammar nazi to the extreme a little though.

I'm hoping jaws365 is joking or being ironic or something.....

I think I can add a couple of things which might explain what they will go for on ds.
Driver2 is a good example of what they might do with limited RAM I agree. Also there are the Transformer games on DS that show how an open city game on DS would work, though I thought those games were kind of ugly.
The most obvious example I can think of is Body Harvest. It was developed by the same guys that went on to GTA, and in essence it was a very basic example of what the 3D gta's went on to be.
So imagine a better textured Body Harvest, with smoother frame rate, that might be what they go for, but they might have to break up areas when on-foot as compared to in-car.

Yes I was being ironic. It´s actually quote from an anti-fascist punk-band. And myself, I speak vietnamese and norwegian so I would not be the one to speak about cultural purity

Ok, what about pedestrians, traffic cars and physics?
Think about it, the DS can't handle that the way GTA3 did.
Transformers is good for a DS, but ugly and brainless AI.
Tony Hawks just have to handle the player movement, Nothing else.

3d like jackass ds thats all i want or a buffy ds game style 2d then 3d fps

I think that DS would be able to handle GTA with 3D wiev. Look at Driv3r for GBA. Just make better physics and graphics. I will not like GTA:CHW if it will be in 2D. I like 3D a lot more

Id like it to be 3D. It could be shipped with a ram expansion pack like the DS Browser?

[ciper]

Back in like 2003 when Grand Theft Auto Advance was announced it was originally going to be a port of GTAII! In other words 3d GTA on the GBA.

Does perspective really matter when the game is really fun? Would you not play an awesome GTA (or any) game just because it's two-dimensional?
It makes (almost) no difference to me. How about you?

I think the hardware's a limitation to the sort of game it is - large areas, lots of people, vehicles - so the scope is somewhat greater were it to be 2D. That's if they don't simply plan on lumping us with a version of State of Emergency either way (the name certainly implies it). In which case my interest dwindles to zero.

Who's played Dreamweb? Now that was a nice looking game. Slightly ridiculous, but they nailed the environment.
