GTA Hasn’t Abandoned the PSP

Hope to see another on the PSP soon
GTA: Chinatown Wars looks to be a great title. Rockstar is well known for putting out high quality titles. Many PSP owners were upset to see that the PSP did not receive another title while the DS was receiving its first. PlayStation has already lost out on its exclusivity for the GTA franchise. This was further cemented by the appearance of exclusive DLC for GTA IV on the 360. John Koller is helping to calm those that are in dispair. Here is an excerpt from his interview with MTV Multiplayer:
“No one should sleep on that franchise,” John Koller, Sony’s head of PSP hardware marketing in North America, told me in a phone interview yesterday. “That’s a tremendous franchise for PlayStation in general. We’ve had two that are the top two sellers on PSP right now. So, there’s definitely continued conversations with ['GTA' development studio] Rockstar on all their brands. That’s nothing that’s left the PlayStation family.”
Sony is aware of the importance of having top franchises available to its console owners. Let’s hope that these continued discussions lead to another GTA offering for the PSP.

I disagree. I highly enjoyed the game and found the improvements to work really well. That combined with the attention to detail that made the new Liberty City the most convincing setting so far in the series as well as the compelling characters and great story really delivered a fantastic experience. Up until then, I considered Vice City to be the best in the series and GTA IV finally topped it in my book.
Anyway, I’m really excited about this news. Hopefully they’ll be more creative than simply announcing something like “GTA: San Andreas Stories”

Actually, I prefer to think of GTA IV as GTA III…. So, hopefully, GTA IV 2 will have be what VC was to III.

All they need to do is bring over Chinatown wars with better graphics and I’d be happy. Both GTA titles on the PSP were excellent quality. I also loved all 3 PS2 versions, and I think GTA4 is the best to date. I got sick of all the goofyness in San Andreas after a while.

I enjoyed the realism that GTAIV produced. There were many things that were missing from this game but the rich story line made up for it.

Forget the DS. I want Lost and Damned on my PS3 today!
