BrainToastNG Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 As many people had the DS version reserved + bought a DS just to play the new game, I'm guessing more people will be buying PSPs just to buy the PSP version. I had the DS version, but I recently traded it in and am trading in the DSi because now I'm noticing lots of Nintendo's DS and Wii Issues. Has anybody ever noticed how Nintendo is the only part of the Seventh Gen gaming consoles/handhelds that aren't allowing purchase of videos, trailers, or access to getting files off your computer from their stores on DSi Shop and Wii Shop? If you have you may feel like playing on your Xbox, PlayStation, or PSP would be more fun than playing on DS and Wii. Anyway, now I'm getting a PSPgo mostly for Gran Turismo, Chinatown Wars, and Alien Force Vilgax Attacks because AF: Vilgax attacks and Chinatown Wars play better on PSP than DS. I know this because I have seen leaked gameplay of it and it looks awesome. I can say bye-bye to Nintendo's DS handheld(s) and hello to Sony's PSP(go). Lastly, will anybody else be getting a PSP for GTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mince Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I might get CTW and see how it is on the PSP, even though I had it on the DS. I did the same when LCS and VCS came out on the PS2. I originally bought a PSP for LCS, so, yeah, more good stuffs to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I don't own a PSP, but I don't think it warrants enough to buy a PSP just for it. I'm happy with the DS version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic_Al Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 If you're going to buy something to play CW, how about an iPod touch? It's much more powerful hardware than the DS or PSP (although we've seen no screenshots so far to show how Rockstar is taking advantage of it), and it has plenty of other uses.

The problem is the jackasses (on this forum in particular) that rag on CTW, because it doesn't have shiny, and pretty 3rd person perspective graphics.

You just said why It will have bad sales, because most PSP users are used to better graphics. I am not graphic whore, so this isn't my problem, but I don't like its gameplay.

The graphics aren't that bad sheesh. Also what's wrong with the gameplay? The thing I find funny is when GTA IV came out it was heavily criticised for concentrating too much on graphics, and not enough on gameplay. CTW does the complete opposite, and people still aren't satifisfied. As it has been said on here many times GTA has never been about graphics, and to be honest compared to most PSP games LCS, and VCS aren't exactly beauty queens either.

And I heartfully agree, but CTW gameplay is frustrating for me. Don't get me wrong I just don't like how you drive cars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle17 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The problem is that we need a GTA with a good balance between graphics & game play. If Rockstar tries to focus on making the next game a polar opposite of the last, then they will never appease the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Zone Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I really want to get a PSP Go for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and I already have a DS with Chinatown Wars, but I'll have to see how different CTW is on the PSP before I make my final decision.

CJPNE Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I bought a DS just to play Chinatown Wars, and no word of a lie, in a matter of days it was announced for the PSP, which I already had. I'm still buying it for PSP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuda Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I've had my Sony PSP since its original launch over five years ago, and GTA Chinatown Wars works on that version of the PSP. Just make sure you update your firmware to version 6.00 or higher, but the disc comes with the firmware if you don't have it installed. I don't usually play games on my PSP that often, except for maybe the arcade classics and stuff. GTA Liberty City Stories was too cumbersome to play on my PSP because of the controls, so I gave up on that one fairly quickly until it was ported to PS2. GTA was meant for the consoles, not for portable gaming systems like PSP or DS (definitely not DS - hence, the commercials stating, "highest-RATED game ever" and not something like "biggest selling", because GTA Chinatown Wars for DS didn't sell well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvis Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well let me say no console is worth for just one game... Even tho Chinatown Wars is really fun, and it's as good as VCS or even better in some ways. I already have PSP, but those who don't - CTW isn't only game, there is also LCS and VCS which are great games (especially VCS). I've got 37% completed now in CTW and I'm still going, it's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
