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 ...

    The problem is data streaming and how that can cut down battery life. GTA has been used as an example of the type of game that will tax the PSP's battery the most because of its graphics and constant disc access.

    I'm going to guess that this will either be a game much different to its PS2 brother or very load time heavy.

    Yes GTA will probably tax the PSP, but it would be cool if they use the Wi-Fi and add a multiplayer dimension to the game. It has been available on the PC version and GTA:SA already.
