Forums - Nintendo - so is GTA DS 2D or 3D?

possibly 3d on the lower screen and a 2d map on the upper?

I hope it's 2D, I hate running around in 3D with a D-pad, like in Lego Star Wars or Mario 64 DS.



Predictions for December 31st 2008:
Wii 38,000,000
DS 84,500,000
PS3 17,000,000
PSP 41,000,000
X360 23,000,000

You mean the console that was removed from the scene by the PS1? Wow that was a long time ago. 2D sounds more logical and we need more 2D games anyway. but perhaps they try to do it in 3D.

 

It wasn't removed from the scene. It still lasted 5 years. And you really got the comment out of context. It was about what the DS could do, not whether the N64 lasted.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

It will actually be the second game ever created, after ioi, to run in true 4D.

That was really not connected to his statement in any way. He talked about the N64´s graphics capabilities not about its market share... we´ll just pretend you misread it okay?

^The DS, while having the best games on any system, also has the graphical capabilities of a dead mackrel IMO.

Also, an entire city in 3D would take up more memory than the maximum 128Mb cartridges can fit onto them.

The maximum is 256mb, and its even increasing to 512 soon. Also there are such things as compressiong, and the game would be at a lower resolution taking up less space. As for the ds' graphical capabilties. I will repeat, they are better than the N64s, and the first sandbox game was on the N64 in 3d, and it was made by rockstar.

 

 

 

The current limit for DS cards is 2 gigabits with ASH being the first game to utilize such a card.  Games on the DS can easily be 4 times the size of the largest N64 cartridges (like the 512 megabit Resident Evil 2). 

From the announcement, it sounds like GTA-DS will be fully 3-D, and I have no doubt that Rockstar will be able to make it work.  It's also rumored to be online.
