The guys behind the amazing Grand Theft Auto Series for the PSP have announced a brand new title called The Warriors - a completely different game compared to Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which is due to be released for the PSP this October in North America.
Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with Rockstar Toronto will make The Warriors, a movie-based game which will hit North American and European store shelves this holiday season. Sketchy as always, Rockstar have kept the lid on what the PSP game will actually feature, they simply gave us the title to work with.
"We set out to create a highly sophisticated portable game that delivers a visceral experience previously unseen on the PSP system," stated Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "We are looking forward to setting the definitive bar for the brawler genre on the PSP system by delivering an extremely stylish and exceptionally deep experience."
The two denominations of Rockstar Games will base the game on the 1979 gritty gang-based classic, The Warriors, which is set in 1970's New York City. Lets hope that it will follow the successes of previous Rockstar titles and since it is due for release before Christmas, you can expect some screenshots and more information on the game to be heading your way very soon.

I loved to play The Warriors on PS2. Great story, good action, great moves. A little bit like State of Emergency, simply miles better. Tons of side-missions, lots of 2-player action. Brilliant!
Would be great if the PSP version had new levels, but that's probably too much hoped

I don't see why people frown down on ports. Many people may not have owned a ps2, or never got to play this game, so this will give more people a chance to play the game. Nintendo does some similar ports as well...not as many...why?...probably because their games aren't even good enough to port?

and the PSP is indeed called a "Playstation Portable," so i also expect it's fair share of ports. but games like Daxter, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Silent Hill: Origins, Tekken: Resurrection, Loco Roco, Exit, Metal Gear Acid, Untold Legends, etc are original titles, even though some of them use characters we are familiar with.
the people that bought a PSP bought it because they were expecting a portable Playstation. developers are delivering on that, and people complain.
personally, i just wish developers would take the time to understand that, when they are doing a port, that the PSP isn't 100% a Playstation 2. sure, graphically, it can deliver some amazing visuals, but it is lacking physiological features that keep it from being a true PS2. so i wish developers would make their port, but strip out mechanics and features that just won't work on the portable machine. there's no shame in taking things out of the portable version to make it a better game (i'm looking at you Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell. in fact, i'm looking at you Ubisoft, in general).
to the topic at hand, GTA on the PSP has been impressive, and Rockstar is a very underrated developer, simply because of the GTA series. Bully looks promising, the Warriors was great, Manhunt was a psychological exercise and a disturbing one at that, and GTA has yet to be surpassed in it's originality and scope in terms of the "sandbox" style gameplay for consoles (Saints Row doesn't count, as it's adding nothing to the GTA formula but Next Gen number crunching. it's a fun, but horribly blatant copycat. i expect GTA4 to blow it away). i expect the Warriors on the PSP to be just as great as it's Playstation 2 and X Box predecessor, and hopefully, this time, it will find an audience.
