Ne0 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has become the first DS title to be given an 18 certificate by the British Board of Film Classification. Edge’s preview of Chinatown Wars – which features an interview with Rockstar Games’ Dan Houser – explains that the title features a drug-dealing minigame, prompting fears that the title will find friction with classification groups and national media outlets. Fortunately for Rockstar, the BBFC has stated on its website that, though the title includes “very strong language and drug references”, it has not undertaken any content cuts. The decision is in line with what the Houser brothers, and indeed those at Rockstar Leeds, wanted as a target audience for the title, as Dan Houser explained to Edge: “No one disagreed with Sam [Houser, Rockstar president and Dan’s brother]’s very clear edict that GTA has to be an M [18 equivalent] rating. It can’t be softened to make it family-friendly – that’s not the game we’re making. We’ve never not done well by sticking to our guns.” The BBFC also claims there are nearly three hours of cut scenes and non-playable game footage in Chinatown Wars. The title is set for a release in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks dude. Is there any region protection for NDS games ? Does it make a diff if I buy it from grey/retail ? How reliable is the h/w ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How reliable is the h/w ? nope no region protection,it shouldn't make a diff whether u buy it from retail or grey except for maybe a warranty,as far as hardware is concerned the ds hardware is reliable enough,there is a slight chance of you finding a faulty touch screen,so make sure you check it before you buy it and the hinge is quite fragile but that can taken care of if you are careful enough.

KeezNah Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 PSP got two GTAs, so stop being a bunch of pansy trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 This looks very, very good. And I love the return to top down 2d-ish mayhem. I wonder how much radio/sounds they can pack in, do GBA carts have any memory limit on them? Edit Just for the record both the PSP GTAs sucked donkey balls so I am glad they went in the 2d direction. They were like a crappy PS2 port, which in itself is ironic as PS2 GTAs were the worst port of the three (Ps2, Xbox and PC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much radio/sounds they can pack in, do GBA carts have any memory limit on them? by that you mean DS carts right?well,so far the biggest cart they've used is the 256 MB(2 Gb) cart,with the use of 128 MB(1 Gb)being very common,it can get bigger if i'm not mistaken.

KeezNah Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's possible to have a very diverse number of tracks, so long they can loop them just right. TWEWY did this pretty well (and that was just 128mb). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman27deep Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 hotel dusk is a huge game, 256 MB game if i am not wrong. pokemon pearl is 64 mb. so i think max limit it 4 Mbits, that means 512 MB. Even 512 MB is huge for NDS games. Even CS 1.6 is ~500 MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 25+ tracks in Guitar Hero, quite a few voice enabled videos in Layton - so storing space in cart is usually not the problem. Problem is a sucky resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeezNah Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Actually, Hotel Dusk is only a 1 Gigabit cart - so no, it's only 128mb. Anyway, I only used TWEWY as a example because of the number of vocal tracks that are on their, but Guitar Hero is also a good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
