nice, PSP making a comeback.
Not surprising. If this is similar to Liberty City Stories and Vice City stories I’ll get it for sure.
Woohooo!
this should do well on PSP, I played it on DS and it was a lot of fun.
How will the touch screen features work? That was one of the key features in this game on DS. I’d prefer a GTA: San Andreas Stories spin off, but this is good news nonetheless.
So is Nintendo following Microsoft by announcing new titles for there systems only to have them go multi-plat?
It probably didn’t sell well on PSP so thats why its getting a port to PSP. Hopefully it will get ported to PS2 in the future.
damnit, i swore i wouldnt get a psp until they put another fucking analog stick on it. hate learning two control schemes for practically the same game.
they are going hard with the psp line up, as they should. PSP was stagnating like crazy.
godspeed sony
To be honest, Isn’t Chinatown Wars like a down-grade?
It’s not 3D, you don’t have all those nice graphics? XD
(unless they changed things, which I have no idea if they did)
I have nothing against anyone wanting to buy it, but I myself don’t really want it lol
