PSP GTA cover leaked

[JTI2K]

Well, we dont have images, dates, nor gameplay info, but unless you are a mad rockstar fan you should know that LibertyCity Stories is goin to be just a deluxe modd of GTA3: same escenarios, other missions.......

So, we have nothing more than the complete truth.............and the cover (low res)

It may be finished, cuz it already has the european ESRB rating on it

So, in october 15 youll see all kind of teens and preteens playin with their PSP and listening to 50cent. Kids today are so nice, they love to torture and murder people!

We were a bunch of wackos playin TMNT and tranformers...........

>end of line

We do have images, and gameplay info... we have had images for months..

[JTI2K]

What? when? I didnt saw a thing........

EDIT: I did a little search, and damn! is worst that I though. They didnt even changed the police models, and are using somo GTAVC vehicles too.

Shame on you rockstar

[Paulo]

Cant be bothered to search now. They are images scaned in from a british (no idea if it was in mags around the world) magazine.

Only page i can see right now is

[JTI2K]

Yep, the same images i found

[Johnny Vodka]

maybe rockstar is starting to get lazy. This is a nice way of getting a few more millions out of the same engine they've tweaked on for years. I like the GTA games and have beat them all, but the formula is starting to get old. I hope the next gen versions will be equally awesome as they were this time.

[Borman]

it wouldnt be so bad if theyd update what is already an outdated engine

[Taemos]

I just saw a huge article on this in some Playstation magazine. I don't think any of it was "leaked."

[JTI2K]

The cover was leaked, not the images...........

*laughs*

Not sure how you can say the cover was "leaked" when EB Games has had it up for days. ;)

It's also pretty well known that this game is not going to be a remake of GTA 3, but rather a prequel that happens three years before GTA 3. So it's not just a "deluxe modd of GTA3: same escenarios."

Arrgghhh, all these prequel games confuse my head! :D

[JTI2K]

When you use the same escenarios (look carefully, you can see the GTA3 mall in the background) and the exact same character model, then its a deluxe modd, becos what they are doing is just changing the missions and the main guy.

I would hope that the general city layout would be the same considering it is set in the same city. Heh. Just because the mall is there, doesn't make it a "deluxe modd [sic]" though. That's like saying Call of Duty 2 is just a mod of Call of Duty because they both occur during a war.

The game uses new missions, new story, new character, etc., yet in your eyes it is "only" a mod becuase it uses a similar engine?

I may not be a fan of the GTA series, but your derision of an unreleased title seems to be driven more by your dislike of the game concept than anything else.

I dont think its the same dude. Of course its gunna have some of the same places, its the same city. But it also has all new landmarks.

[RyanGamerGoneGrazy]

i dont think the city, car, and people models are exact, yes they look similar because they take place 5 years before gta3, so they need to look similar, and i dont think the psp could pull off the gta3 engine, rockstar already said thats its a new engine complete form the ground up....or so said opm

[JTI2K]

I never said it was goin to be the same engine, basically cuz the PS2 and PSP CPUS are diferent, so a new engine would be the better option.

But the models are the same, and with those big escenarios, the rendering&drawing is the hard, time consuming part

[einbebop44]

I am going to buy this. GTA on the bus? GTA anywhere I please? Hell yeah. Fuck the naysayers, this game looks sweet. OMG TEH ROCKSTAR IS SO LAZYYYYYYYY

Dude, they popularised -- for better or for worse -- the go anywhere, do anything gameplay mechanic. And hot damn, it still works real good. Sure, it might not be as fresh as it once was, but portable mayhem in my pocket? Oh yes. Beats the living shit out of Wipeout Pure and its boring ilk.

[JTI2K]

Maybe, but they could use the GTAVC instead of that damn GTA3

VC is the best GTA by far.

Only Vice City was a whole lot closer to a "mod" or "expansion pack" of GTA3 than Liberty City Stories ever will be. Heh.

As for einbebop's bashing of Wipeout, have to chalk that up to personal taste. As of right now the only two games worth owning on the PSP are Wipeout Pure and Lumines -- and I don't see that changing, for me at least, even after GTA:LCS is released. Just as you might find high speed racing "boring" I personally find the GTA style of play to be very overdone and played out -- San Andreas bored the hell outta me.

My only complaint about Wipeout Pure is that the PSP is limited to that small ass screen. It shoulda been on the PS2.

Are you stoned or what? VC was double the size, with better EVERYTHING and a brand new city

Look, we all get you love LCS OK? i dont give a damn about that, just stop the BS

Whee. Gotta love it when someone who can't handle a simple debate has to start throwing out personal insults. Based on your other posts you seem to do that every time someone disagrees with you.

You started this thread with information that was factually wrong, stating that the cover art had just been leaked and that the game was a remake of GTA 3.

It was pointed out to you that this was incorrect, and then you claimed it was "mod" because it used the same engine.

Based on your reasoning my friend, Vice City is a mod even moreso because the engine driving Vice City has a whole hell of a lot more in common with GTA3 than the engine driving LCS. VC certainly didn't have better "everything" than GTA3, it in fact shared many of the techincal problems including loading times, draw distance and control issues.

Does the city in LCS share some major landmarks with the city in GTA3? Of course it does, as it is the same city. But that doesn't mean the city is identical.

I think I've made my opinion on the GTA series fairly clear in this thread, and I don't think that there is anyone here that would think I'm anticipating LCS, let alone "in love" with it. Far from it. ;)

I simply saw your factually-challenged fanboy rant against the game and took the time to point out the flaws in your posting.
