GTA and Lemmings on PSP

Posted by Zonk on from the tiny-bone-thugs dept.

GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that the Grand Theft Auto series will see its first foray onto the PSP this Autumn with the title of Liberty City Stories. On a cuter note, Gamespot has word that the Lemmings will be a PSP title sometime later this year. From the article: "Currently in development at Team 17, the PSP version of Lemmings will feature both classic and all-new levels, and will also let you create your own that can be shared with friends. Sony also plans to release its own downloadable content for the game, including new themes and levels." Ahh, fond gamer memories.

    Lemmings don't actually follow each other off cliffs. This myth is the laregely result of a Disney nature film in which they were crammed on to a ledge and made to fall to their deaths.

      I'll finally be able to play GTA while I'm driving.

      In my neighborhood, people have been playing GTA while driving for years.

      The street sign in my front yard has been replaced three times so far.

      I'm planning on putting up a privacy fence made of nice cedar this summer, and one critical step the preservation of my new fence will be to put several "decorative" boulders out along the curb.

  5. Lemmings on PSP? by Soul-Burn666 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It would seen a better fit for the DS. Lemmings is a game that is controlled best using a mouse. The DS stylus can act as a mouse, so it seems lemmings on DS would be a perfect fit.
    The second screen can be used for the map and other areas of the world. Maybe have a shoulder button swap locations between the screens, so you can play on one while still paying attention to what happens on the other, not needing to scroll and miss the action.

      Except that Team 17, as you vaguely pointed out, are (or at least have been - the last few iterations of the Worms franchise have been super-flops) brilliantly suited to the task. Their (2D) programming is amazing, and their (again 2D) game design is superlative. I believe they can bring some of the Worms brilliance to the already fantastic Lemmings franchise, and we will have a hit =) Well, here's hoping at least

    I hope they don't improve too much on the graphics of the old DOS versions. Pixel counting could be so important...

    Liberty City being the metropolis in which the first PS3 GTA title was set.

    I remember the first time I played GTA3 on my PS3. Then the hole I'd torn in the space-time continuum destroyed my alternate reality, violently thrusting me back into the reality where GTA3 came out for PS2.
