Grand Theft Auto Coming Soon to iPhone/iPod Touch
Rockstar Games announced yesterday that it will be porting one of their most popular games over to the iPhone platform. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will make its iPhone debut sometime before the year is over (price still to be determined).
This is simply more verification that Apple’s iPhone OS can pull its weight in the handheld gaming wars. If you can’t wait until GTA’s release, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle from Gameloft [iTunes Link] should be good enough to hold you over.
According to Rockstar, screen shots will be coming soon but until then feel free to take a look some Sony PSP images after the break.

Has anyone here not noticed the screenshots? It doesn’t looks 3-D to me!

@Al_X I don’t think it’s in 3D, it’s more like GTA 1 & 2. I’m just wondering how the touch screen will work with this game. So far full games using touch has been pretty bad for me. I’m hoping for the best though

Ohhh yes please.

Am I the only one who thinks gangstar SUCKS? I’ll patiently wait for the real thing.

Hopefully they’ll make the price reasonable. My kid brother would buy it for sure but no if it is $20

Do people actually play on their iPhones for long periods of time like a real handheld?
September 1st, 2009 at 4:22 pm
The screen shots are psp not iphone

Yup, the iPhone/iPod touch is being considered a competitor to traditional handheld gaming systems. I’m assuming it’s the mode of content delivery, and competitive pricing for games…

remember developers can bring their own controls and use them with the iphone so maby they will develop some sort of remote? i think tipb did an article on a wii type controller a while back…

Great, just what this series needed, more racism!
September 1st, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Helicopter view ????????
Not for me.
Waiting for the gameloft version to drop and I’ll buy

Hope the controls are on point.
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:42 am
the controls are going to make or break this game but I cant wait.
If anyone can make the controls work on the iphone it will be rockstar.

I hate physical moment. It makes me feel tired after a while.
September 16th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Grand Theft Auto is by far my favorite game!!
October 24th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
What the hell is that ****…..Gangster is much better looking. The people look like Runescape Classic. I do like the way the cars look. I’ll give 2/5

I think it would be great to have a game like this come to the iPhone and iPod tec because people need more consoul games terned in to hanheld games so that they injoy life better and stop worring in having to go to the shop and buying games when they can just download it to their iPod or iPhone.
