The Bossman Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yeah, I read about this on CVG about an hour ago. How will they manage the touchscreen stuff, though? It's good news, but I didn't expect this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 That's pretty cool how it's going to be downloadable. Shame I already got it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPyrox Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hmm. I'm more interested in how they're planning to incorporate the size of chinatown Wars, on the DS, wasn't it all of Liberty City? for them to do that on a PSP would be a formidable task, they could barely do it with vcs and lcs.

Blur Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 This news couldnt have come soon enough, I was planning on selling my PSP for some extra cash. Now I will have GTA:CW. R*!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice... If Leeds managed to port CW unabridged on the PSP, other than the touchscreen features, then it's a proof of concept that GTAIV-era Liberty can be ported to the PSP, or maybe the PS2.
