Great stuff.

I really liked the DS version, and the graphics weren't that bad if you've actually played it. But I hope they'll go with traditional 3D this time.



I'm guessing a lot of the touch-screen specific things (and there were a lot of them) will be removed. I can't see any of it being adapted to the PSP's controls. Maybe they'll make up for it by adding other extra content.



Anyway, this is shaping up to be a great year for the PSP.

wow i want a PSP again now cuz all these great games coming out for it!

the game did not sell very well on the DS, maybe that's why it's coming to the psp.

"I'm guessing a lot of the touch-screen specific things will be removed"



Thankfully.

story wise would be the same and that's where it ends. I hope it plays just like Liberty and Vice City Stories.

In fact, it's a crime to own both in some states.

its gonna look gay cuz ds has gay graffix

They should have made the game PSP game since day 1, M games aren't big in Nintendo...specially this Generation of Handhelds and/or BigConcoles...

Vice City Stories was 1.1MB. Liberty City Stories was 5GB. Both of these .bin files(uncompres sed data.) Audio takes up the most data, so it has more than enough to fit on the PSP.



Since the sales of the DS version of Chinatown Wars bombed, we most likely won't see another DS game. Which is kindof unfortunate since it's not a bad game. Atleast we'll get another PSP version or PS360 version sooner with the DS out of the picture.

1.1MB for Vice City Stories? 5GB for Liberty City Stories? Vice City can't be that small and Liberty City if was 5GB would take atleast 3 UMD.

It's obviously not going to have touch screen like features. It will most likely be just like Vice City stories but with a new story and new map.

Where the HELL did you get 1.1MB and 5GB from? LCS on PSP was like 800MB, and Vice City Stores was a little over 1gb.



San Andreas on PS2 and Xbox was over 4gb, and it wasn't just the radios that took up that space. Los Santos alone was bigger than Liberty City and Vice City, so imagine the space required. They'd never omit radio stations just to have it fit, so meh.

now i dont have to argue with my lil sister when i want to borrow her DS since i have the psp, yay

Yeah, because even less ways to enjoy the game make it better somehow.

Man. I must not have been paying attention to what I posted today. I was actually in a hurry to leave.



What I meant was Vice City Stories was 1.1GB and Liberty City Stories was 500MB(you can say 1.2GB and 600MB by rounding up.)



Looking on google right now it actually says 800GB for LCS but I'm sure it was 600 when I ripped it(500-600 when I ripped it -- maybe it was compressed.)



Here's an example. Why do you think a game like Blue Dragon is three discs with its extremely *****ty graphics, but a game that is far greater in detail like GTA4 runs on a single disc? The reason for this is that Blue Dragon has a ton of CG cutscenes while GTA4 has literally none and everything runs from the ingame graphics engine.



Anyways. Los Santos is only four times the size of Liberty City. That's not four times 800 which equals 3.2GB, because audio takes up a huge amount of space and the rest of the space would mostly consist of environmental textures, etc. If Los Santos would be 3.2GB because Liberty City is four times smaller, then Vice City being about two and a half times larger means that VCS should have been 2GB(800MB plus 800MB plus 400MB.) The fact that it's not and Los Santos is only(about) twice as large as Vice City then there's about 650MB to work with from VCS to SAS(which part of the used 1.2GB would already be dedicated to audio files and if needed more there'd be more than enough.)



Audio and CG movies take of the most space with area textures being nothing in comparison. There's actually enough water in Los Santos to actually fill Liberty City, so that right there just nulifies it being four times as large and we're down to three.



So even with radios, I'm sure San Andreas Stories can fit onto a single UMD with space to spare.

Was it successful?...thats why it didn't sell much right?

What horrible grammar. Don't go dissing a game if you can't even say it right. And the game is coming out on the PSP not the DS. READ

800/600 GB eh? lol



i would love to see that GTA

you could easily fit sa on a umd physically (with less audio) but can the psp handle it, the ps2 could only just do it and used loads of fog and other things to hide it iirc.

this game was ONLY for ds. wat the @@@@.

GTA: San Andreas is 2.85 GB when all of the padding and dummy files are removed and then rebuilt.

On the ps2?

2.85 is alot more believable.



how much without the audio folder?

then imagine how much is left with downsized textures and lower poly character models



(its not like the map models could be much power poly)



Still I think the reason we aren't seeing it is because the psp probably isnt powerfull enough to handle a sa sized map



limited ram and cpu to stream the map properly



love to be proved wrong but only R* can do that methinks
