Forums - Gaming Discussion - Not DS's fault. GTA CW PSP is an absolute FLOP!!!!

.jayderyu on 13 November 2009

I'm finally glad it's coming through. When R* announced that port for the PSP there was an almost PSP owner rising that it would do better. Though any R* was still saying the major problem with game is that it's 2d. Now the game is awesome, the problem is that GTA is known for it's third person. If R* kept a legacy style continuing from it's PS1 days AND had a Third person then GTACW would have had a better reception due to having a fan base.

It doesn't matter what medium the game is on. The game is 2d and people don't want a 2d GTA. Thsi game might have sold better under a non GTA name.

Edit:
I'm going to get this out right now. COP SUCKS. It's The Conduit of the DS. It will more prove what is possible, but will end up being game with poor gameplay design. Hasn't anyone noticed the stilted simple movement, fade to white when entering/exiting a vehicle. Lack of people, simple driving. It's likely the DS can do more, but this is a unpolished game. Two things can come from this. COP2 will be better and R* might be encoureged that Third Person is very doable on the DS and make a better GTA Wars game.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

All this negativity against the Wii for not selling games is bullshit. If the games are good in quality, they will sell most of the time. This is a big fU to those who cried how bad Grand Theft Chinatown sold on the DS.

Really look at fifa sales, sold more on freaking PSP.  Yahh bs right there.

Something Final Fantasy managed a pathetic 24k on its first day.  China Town was a ds game, not a psp GTA game.  A inferior quality game a port did bad sales, really who could have seen that happening.  Maybe a wii port will do crap sales on the PS3.

Alot of games find crap sales on Nin hardware, its just how it is these days. 

Even MH did weak sales on the wii compared to PSP.

Don't you guys think its possible that it's selling like crap on the PSP because:

1) The people who wanted it also have a DS and bought it there
2) PSP owner view it as a "lesser" game as a DS port
3) PSP owners are pissed its coming to them later (timed-releases always sell less on the 2nd release).

Not saying anything bad about the DS sales, just that theres a reason its selling so crappily on the PSP.

Those are never valid excuses on this website when a game is ported to Wii so thet certainly shouldn't be valid excuses here

Also maybe the fact it had zero promotion and hype. I didnt even know the game came out yet tbh and im on gaming websites constantly. im guessing im not the only one.

Funny how that's never an excuse for Wii/DS games....

It's at 1 million in a region that doesn't seem to care about consoles as much as handhelds these days.  Good to see you're still the same troll you always were.

the result of this is that we may probably never see a 2D GTA game ever again

shame as I liked GTA:CTW on DS more than GTa4, it was more fun

DUh. they launched at 40usd isntead of 20 usd.
The PSN version also should have been much cheaper too.

Also you are not counting PSN number which would be bigger than retail sales. I have a psp2000+MDcard and only buy on PSN like many others.
