AnthMUFC-Champs Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) GTA 3D Coming to an iPad Near You This Summer The next installment of the Grand Theft Auto series is to be based in London and will be released as a 3D version available exclusively on Apple's new iPad device. Yes you read that correctly: 3D! This is the first news we've heard regarding possible 3D games on the iPad, mainly due to the fact that Apple has kept this one very close to it's chest, it's only after speaking to a couple of industry insiders close to the Rock Star team that we managed to find out anything at all! In order to make this possible on the iPad the GTA makers have teamed up with a little known App Development team based in Shropshire, who have designed a brilliant technique for translating interlaced game footage into 3D motion graphics. From what we've been told so far the technology will be heavily dependant on a polarizing screen that attaches to the iPad. The screen, which will completely cover the display, will refract light and redirect two different images to both the left and right eyes. In order to make this possible, both images will be interlaced together to create smooth 25 frames per second 3D gameplay. Unfortunately you will still need to use a set of polarizing glasses to view the 3D effects, unlike the proposed 'glasses free' technology expected in Nintendo's upcoming 3DS games machine. No more information is known about the storyline other than its London based location, but that's got us excited enough as it is! Check back for more details later as we find out more information about GTA 3D, no doubt the Interweb will be full of announcements within the next couple of days as we expect an official press release from Liquid New Media within the next few hours or so! http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/news/GTA-3D-Co...mer/283831.html I think its an April Fools!

The_Mario_Man Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm pretty sure it's a joke. I'm not sure if the iPad would be able to handle something like GTA IV. But I don't know much about computers. Still, that 3D thing sounds like a pretty cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmC12 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 lol GTA IV 3D would be cool! But happy April fools people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLiaWneK Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Definitely a joke, but why is Niko in the picture when it's based in London? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmight Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Definitely "April F00Lz" 1GHz Apple A4 CPU 10 hour battery life for web surfing - imagine high intensive gaming battery life- what 2 hours or less? (hell, maybe even 1 hour) touch screen gamepad would suck ass. even if it were similar to a ps3 controller, you have problems with taking your eyes off the buttons and playing the game because it's all one flat screen. Limiting the controls would equally suck. It would just suck in general to have it on the iPad that's not designed for high intensive gaming without significantly reduced controls, graphics, details, etc etc. April fools is fun Apparently there are still plans to develop some 3D games for the iPad still. Interesting lol Edited April 1, 2010 by Wolfmight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmC12 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 And also do you think R* would have time to develop a GTA 3D game for iPad when they have other things to work on like EFLC and GTA V.. (they must be but they don't tell us anything ) so there is no way they could release it by summer anyway. I know this is a joke but i'm just saying for anyone who beleived it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTASIX Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I was hoping for something like the PSP versions when I read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthMUFC-Champs Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 It would of been good but i guess they have to concentrate on GTA EFLC and GTA V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackdawg Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 It wont for the same reason it's not on the wii. Won't run on an ARM embedded application processor..even the quad core cortex A9. The chip doesn't even support the core rendering the game uses. Even suggesting it does shows obvious computer illiteracy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwandilibro Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 if u cant realize this is a joke, your an ass who should be slapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The people who buy iPad's are not exactly the same type of people who are into GTA. The fact that it's posted on April 1'st makes it all the more unbelievable. In the future please don't post this crap. It may be April 1'st, but that doesn't mean you can post spam now. With that being said, locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
