Grand Theft Auto for US PSP Launch
GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that a version of the popular Grand Theft Auto series (as well as a version of the Midnight Club 3 game) will be released around the date of the US/EU PSP launch. From the article: "Sony's extremely impressive technology has allowed Rockstar Leeds to do more on a handheld machine than we could have ever imagined ... We are very excited for gamers to experience these two genre-defining franchises in a fashion that could have never before been possible on a portable system."
Except that they come out on other systems later. GTA 3 and Vice City are already out on the Xbox and PC, and San Andreas has already been announced for the Xbox and PC as well. Considering they're superior versions on both platforms, if you have the patience, it bodes well to wait. Like the Xbox versions have custom sountracks, 480p, and widescreen, with better draw distance and framerate. Not knocking the PS2 versions, but those changes do make a difference.
Nintendo is the undisputed king of first party games, I fully believe that. However, after you get through that, what do you have?
Under the circumstances, I'd have to say Resident Evil 4
In Sony's defense, the GTA franchise is a style of play and execution, not simply a character. Nintendo has worked it's franchises into the ground by re-using the characters in totally non-franchise related games. When they release GTA Tennis then we can talk.
