Reconite Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The psp version looks better than the ds version as you can see. Graphics =/= Gameplay The PSP version lost out on all the original touch screen qualities that made CTW unique. Both versions are great in their own right. Though it's quite annoying to see all the people who were bashing CTW before the PSP version was released are now in-love with the PSP version. Fanboyism at its best.

Arvis Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Well in that case CTW on DS is still some kind of unique, tho moving analog stick isn't that bad, but after doing 20 tattoos I'm tired of using analog in minigame. In any other case it's almost the same game... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/429595-gta-ctw-ds-versus-psp/#findComment-1059579226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvis Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm not, just don't have the DS version, so I can't really tell if the touchscreen features makes a big difference.

WTFX Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 it's not like the mini games are that essential anyway.. they feel like fillers. they might have made more sense on ds, but the normal gameplay on ds was then again worse. of course it's matter of taste too, i'm just happy they brought it to psp, as that's the only console i have. all my other gaming is on pc.

Kowaah Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) This is only DS game i ever bought and no doubt, i won't have any other in collection, DS wasn't in my taste and it will not be. I was a bit fanboy of sony, but now Rockstar helped me think to other side. Edit: I saw the video and i feel like fanboy of psp now. Sorry DS, can i trash you?

Smiley001 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I still would have gone with the DS version. Mainly because the DS' battery lasts very long and you can play Chinatown for hours and hours while the PSP dies off quickly...

EDGE_SHOT Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 To be honest, I don't have a DS, but i think the PSP version is better. why? first, the PSP is way better than DS (sorry nintendo, your "GameBoy era" is over, baby) and then: -PSP version loses ONE side mission but gets a bunch of new missions. -PSP doesn't have touchscreen? DS doesn't have half the screen resolution PSP does (and i don't like touchscreens anyway ) -Online on PSP = better. But then again, just my opinion...

rubba_dukie Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 PSP = GraphicsDS = Gameplay And they should have compared the minigames in the video. I presume the minigames are just the same, with maybe the graphics jazzed up on the psp. I think the minigames would be a bit pointless and annoying on the psp since they were made for the touchscreen. Is it true the psp takes 20seconds to save after each mission? That's why I like the ds version, no load times. I watched the ign video review where they basically said the ds graphics were sh*te. Alright there not gonna hold up to the psp but there are still amazing for the ds.

I personally thought the touchscreen is what made it so unique, but with it's absence, it's just bland to me. Molotovs is just drag and release, even a line range is there. That is unless you want to move while throwing molotovs, but that's rarely needed.

mhuda Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 uh I always wanted the psp version and never bashed it so dont say i did couse you dont know me. I didn't know this game was coming out for PSP until the week before! It's obvious why R* released GTA CW for PSP: DS version didn't sell well. I have a DS, but didn't buy GTA CW because I figured it would be too cumbersome to play on the DS with the screen tapping and birds-eye camera view (the birds-eye view is also on the PSP version as well). Yeah, the game got great reviews, but there were reports that the DS version of GTA CW sold something like under 100,000 copies. Hopefully the PSP version will do better.

Reconite Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) <snip> It plays fine on the DS, there wasn't even much "screen tapping" as you call it, involved in the game anyway. It's not controlled by the stylus completely, the stylus is used for the touch screen minigames and throwing grenade weapons, basically. I don't see how one would find it "cumbersome". Also, the reason it didn't sell well was because the majority of Nintendo DS owners are children (CTW being rated M, their parents probably wouldn't let them have it, or it wouldn't interest the people). I, myself bought it on release day for my DS. Not to mention the fact that most GTA fans were like "OMG WHERZ MAH GTA4 GRPHX ON DS!?!?!??!?" and refused to buy it, or didn't even own a DS. Graphics =/= Gameplay, I wish people would learn that. As for the PSP version, it could do better, but it could do even worse. Lots more GTA fans own a PSP but maybe because CTW was "exclusive" to Nintendo DS, they already bought it and completed it on their DS. Now it's out for PSP, most people won't bother buying it all over again for shinier graphics and extra missions. And that most of the arrogant graphics fanboys use the PSP instead of DS and even still refuse to buy it now it's released on their system. God I hate graphics fanboys. Screw 'em. /me goes to play Bionic Commando.

General Goose Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I think the DS has the control scheme, certain gameplay elements and originality on its side, while the PSP has music, graphics and some new content. I prefer the DS to the PSP, more unique games, despite the PSP being more "high-tech". I hate graphics fanboys as well. Not "true" hardcore gamers in my opinion.

EDGE_SHOT Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I don't consider myself a "graphic fanboy" but i like good graphics. If you have a game with good gameplay and poor graphics and a game with good gameplay and good graphics which one do you choose? Now if i like good graphics that means i'm not a "true" hardcore gamer? graphics are part of the gameplay, such has the audio, the story, the diversity, etc., etc.. Lets all play Space Invaders again, screw PS3, HD, LCDs, who cares about images, right?
