GTA Chinatown Wars: 2D or 3D?

**Eviltaco64** · August 23rd, 2008, 03:09

Hello, DCEmu users.

What do you think of Grand Theft Auto coming to the Nintendo DS?

Honestly, I myself am thrilled. The only problem I'm thinking of is whether or not the DS could handle GTA in 3D like PS2 did.

Still, I think that the game wouldn't be so well recieved if it was like the original GTA games that were in 2D.

If you had to choose between a not that good looking 3D Grand Theft Auto game or a 2D Grand Theft Auto 2-style GTA game on the DS, which would it be?

I myself would go with 3D, just because I really dislike the original aerial camera 2D GTA games, but we all have our differences.

So, DCEmu, what would you pick?

I wouldnt mind a 2D GTA.

Personally i think people rag on the 2D versions too much. I mean sure its not the greatest graphics in the world but so freaking what. It was an awesome game. The only thing i criticize about gta1 is saving during parts of the game. That wouldve been nice but other than that it was a great game imo.

3D is good too, but all im saying is, 2D should have a chance just as well.

Has it been announced whether it will be 2d or 3d?

I'd say 2d myself, I don't think the ds could handle a reasonable looking/smooth running 3d GTA. Happy to be proved wrong though.

I really liked GTA2 on the PC back when it came out, the multiplayer was fantastic. You can download n play it for free from here : http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/

DS wont be able to do a full 3d GTA game without making it crap. Expect 2d.

I could imagine a psuedo-3D GTA myself.
I think all they would have to do is make the camera adjust itself every time you make a turn.

Not quite sure on the correct translation, but the guy above you said why could it not have graphics in a style to Zelda: Phantom Hourglasss, which is a good point as it is then 3D but also sort od 2D if you get what I mean.

I thinka 2D version of GTA would be horrid in this day and ag, I could never get on with the originals, purely because there was not enough distance or draw time to see where the heck you were going.

I lol at each person who thinks the DS can handle a 3D GTA like GTA III.

GTA2 was great, they just have to make a good choice for the view distance with the aerial camera.
