Euro GTA: Liberty City Stories release date revealed

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60858
28th October will be the release date for Rockstar's PSP-exclusive Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the company confirmed today.

The game is being produced jointly by past masters Rockstar North alongside Rockstar Leeds, the company's handheld gaming specialists.

The news follows on from the launch of the game's official website, which featured, among other things, an official trailer, as well as the first screens of the game. The game debuts in North America three days previously on October 25th.

In addition, we got our first glimpse of how the game is shaping up last week, and can happily report that the game is looking every bit as good as fans would hope.

This doesn't surprise me considering in US it's coming on 25 and the PS2 episodes have always arrived in Europe a few days later.
Anyway killer lineup for PSP in Europe in October: GTA, Pro Evolution Soccer,SSX,WRC,Pursuit Force etc

I've got 500€ set aside to purchase a PSP along with GTA: LCS and other games on GTA's launch date, nearly there. :D

Oh thats the game series that actually is fun to play and doesn't rely on the endless killing of people to keep you going.

Go on admit it. all you do is go around and shoot people.
At least the series you mentioned tries different things and not just changes the main character and city environment!

Well, if you ask me, GTA does suck. If you ask those 8 gazillion people who bought it, I'm sure they'll differ.

It's definitely 28th - that's what Rockstar PR told Euro jurnos. It's really close to the US one, so it's all good...

Thongy, you can comment even if you don't have a PSP. Its not what hardware you do or don't possess that will have people responding to how braindead your comment was. :p

i give a game a try before i am in a position to critisize it. This puts me in a position where i can do this without retort!

GTA is just as much fun as any game you've enjoyed. I know, trust me.

Yeah, that Mario series sure does innovate. You run around and jump on (ie - kill) enemies...

Just like that Zelda game where you run around and hit people with a sword for hours.

My favorite is that Kirby game where you don't even have to press any buttons at all! You can just set the controller down and the game does all the pesky work for you!

To be serious for a moment, it's perfectly OK to present an opinion provided you can actually back it up with experience. You just admitted that you had not really played the game proper. Your opinion is worthless if it is based on nothing.

You also presneted your opinion in a childish fashion, which immediately kills any credibility you may or may not have.

New GTA PSP impressions:

Immediately, it's apparent that the PSP has very little trouble dealing with the technical demands of a full-blown GTA game, and as such it looks like a huge improvement over GTA III in every sense: the draw distance - while by no means perfect, with plenty of pop-up evident - is acceptable, the frame rate looked rock solid and smooth, and the character models looked up to San Andreas standard, complete with the trademark Rockstar mannerisms, and - yes - lifelike hands.



Elsewhere, the technical improvements were more than evident, such as reflections on the car and road, shadowing, the damage modelling on the vehicles, a variety of different weather effects, such as thunderstorms, snow, and glorious sunsets. Moreover, Rockstar claim that the weather will affect vehicle handling, too. It looks as good as anyone could reasonably hope. "It's a joint project between Rockstar North and Rockstar Leeds, and they've been working on it for two years now. It really shows what you can get out of a PSP." Indeed it does; comparing this to previous handheld GTA efforts shows just how far the industry has come.

Nice!

yep. such a shame that gameplay really didn't ask me to play it?

anyway.
i'm not arguing i just stated an opinion

That's the reason people love it. Because unlike the majority of games, it doesn't force you into playing it only 1 way.

Seriously Craig you are a complete and utter asshole...

If any mods want to know he has 2 different user names proabably more as he admited to it on another forums (Check IP)...

Which I believe goes against the terms of service

This thread has now filled the minimum of "one fool makes stupid assumptions about GTA who is getting banned by the time Bishop reads this" post for a GTA thread. Enjoy your vacation!

Anyway how long till we hear about the forced 2.0 update for this?

:lol That's right, Thongy, bite the hand that feeds you! Gnash and snap at it!

I just defended your right to post. That doesn't also require me to lie and say your opinion was intelligent or insightful in any way.

So, Thongy has violated the ToS in more ways than one and presented an ignorant opinion in a very spiteful fashion? What a guy!

To get back to GTA, for those still wondering, the song in the trailer is A Dark March by Danger Mouse.
Thanks! Danger Mouse rocks. I was really hoping someone would figure out what song that is. Now I hope they'll include it in the game :p

On topic.
I didn't put my point across correctly. although i'm english my use of the language is crap. My sentence construction is useless. but hey i hate GTA, i love Gran Turismo, God of War etc. Not all things Sony are bad. i just don't like GTA.

Off topic
big fat X from Family Fortunes for you, by the way. haven't you violated ToS in directing abuse at me in your second post. UNPROVOKED?

Please go away. This shit has gotten beyond stupid now.

They've got to hold on to something. They've been thinking that its going to decrease greatly in popularity yet it doesn't. So now they just stick to it only being popular because of beating prostitutes.

I feel the same. I hate GTA (and yes, I've tried each version), but there is no denying the appeal of this game to the casual masses.

What a surprise that Saint Cornelius is a fan of ThongyDonk's work ;)

Was he perma-banned from here? I vaguely remember him blaming me for one of his bannings... when I last visited ***... where strangely enough someone over there thinks it funny to use my nick and some pictures I've posted of my daughter as the signature...

Strange.

I have no idea. Don't visit that other place either. Just know that they're birds of feather based on their forum behavior.

I'd call what someone is doing with your nick and your daughter's picture over there "childish", but that would be an offense to children everywhere. Children have far more decency than that.

Yeah I initially found it very... disconcerting... but in the end I decided damn if I've made that much of an impression on someone that they actually feel the need to do that... they've some serious issues... and I should feel honored.

:lol

GTA and PSP threads are like rat poison for trolls, you see the bait get set, the pests bite into it and a few minutes later they turn up dead.

BTW is Michael Madsen actually confirmed as the voice actor for Toni Cipriani? I've watched the tralier a few times and it doesn't seem to sound like him at all, plus some guy at Gamefaqs claims it's actually James Remar as Toni's voice, who is also doing the voice for his character in The Warriors.

R* have stated that they will not release details of any of the voice actors in the GTA games, and prefer for you to read who they are in the back of the manual once it's released.

As far as they are concerned, a person that supplies the voice acting, however famous they are, are such a small part of the team & process that they feel it would not be fair to the coders and other people working on the games.

Kudos to them for that.
