Surprised at so many RDR mentions but I remember it was popular at the time. Both look good...I hope they do SOMETHING at least.
GTA IV gold
RDR
Bully
Rockstar Vita collection
They have like 10 studios. Surely they can't all be working on GTA V forever.
Manhunt was the only game I got the impression of being a bit evil...never tried it much but watched a quick videos, might watch a bit more. Was watching a bully playthrough yesterday and the game looked fantastic! living breathing school world, pretty neat.

Really, REALLY good on 360 - been waiting ages to get it on a system I actually use.

I'd love to get a new Chinatown Wars, at least 2D cel-shading and iso perspective.

Ew. That was good by DS standards, but Vita deserves so much more. Something more along the lines of the Stories games but made for the Vita hardware is so much more appealing.
Ugh god no. Vita needs a San Andreas stories.
DS standards graphically or the standards of being a massively successful console?
We're not graphics whores right guys?
my favorite Vita game this year has PSone textures, so I don't care much about graphics, but Chinatown Wars was a horrible boring game.
Your favourite game being a grindy monster hunter clone?
They don't hurt. Art-styles are a bigger problem for me personally, though normally gameplay is king.
its not really that grindy if you want to get the platinum, if you want all the sigils... its REALLY grindy
Or the standard of a game that bombed everywhere? Probably the only gta game that bombed.
Sorry but there's no coming back from 3d, 2d gta are just too limited and imo they are totally not suited for 16/9(when drive fast up or down you see absolutely nothing).

I just looked at this week drop and saw that Nikoli V Slither Link or something like that, get's released on Vita tommorow. I've never heard of it but saw a Eurogamer review for the DS version, giving it a 10.
Someone here who knows this game? Must-buy?

So now we're at a point where if we got a GTA game we'd complain if it was 2D?

DS standards in terms of what the DS is capable of not just graphically, but also in terms of gameplay and scope for this sort of game. The DS simply wasn't capable of a proper 3D GTA with all the awesomeness that comes with that. PSP was and the Vita is. Chinatown Wars is as good as you could expect a GTA game to be on such an underpowered system, but it's a fact that other systems are capable of so much more with this type of game. Vita is capable of a proper 3D GTA. It's better to have one of those.
it's way less grindy than the other in the genre as you can beat the story on low level if you have the right spells(if you want to do other thing well it's what you asked for), it's repetitive yes but not a grind fest and not really MonHun clone like RO, it do many things beyond that tired formula and have fantastic story and combat system that MonHun can only dream of.
also SS have nothing to do with Chinatown Wars being shitty.
Chinatown was is on PSP no?
I was just jesting you - I'd like a 3D GTA, but if it was 2D I wouldn't complain.

Considering how much better the 3D GTA games are, yeah. I'd be ok with a cheap digital only game like that though. But as for a big retail GTA, we need a proper 3D one.

Which was just a DS port, and yes it was the least fun GTA on the PSP.
We'll be lucky to get ANY GTA games

But it was the best GTA on PSP...

I dunno, GTA is one of the few third party franchises I see having a legit chance of happening on Vita. There's a lot of demand for one and I think it would do very well. I can see Rockstar doing one eventually considering how well the PSP GTA games did.
I think everyone was always at that point. Chinatown wars came out on the DS and bombed hard because no one wants a 2D gta game. In fact if the GTA game Vita gets is a 2D game it'll be the last nail in Vita's coffin.
REALLY? If we managed to get a GTA game on the system (which would be a miracle anyway and a sign that the system is selling well) if it was 2D that would be it for the system? Talk about hyperbole

I remember when SR was announced for 3DS I shit bricks. Was so hyped. That was back before SR3 ruined the series of course. Wouldn't be complaining if a SR game made it to Vita though.
Absolutely yes.
Chinatown wars was good only for the limited hardware of the ds, and even the ds owners didn't want it.
Like it or not 2d gtas are just too dated gameplay-wise, people want the "real deal".
I'd pay gold for SR2 Stillwater Stories on Vita (like have it to be about what 3rd street saints members were doing in Stillwater when the Boss went to Steelport) and be gangs focused like SR1/SR2 with all the old activities and things that got cut from SR3.
I'm not even a fan of boxing but for some reason i want it lol.
Definitely one of the better looking indie games tech-wise. I'm be waiting on impressions for this one, though.
The gameplay and mission design in Chinatown Wars is fun, something I can't say about the PSP entries. The writing is also on a whole other league, it's witty and funny in Chinatown while it's creepy and immature on the PSP games.

Real Boxing has that 'pretty but soulless mobile title' look to me. :/
And the drug trading was awesome.

Already confirmed for the Vita, just a bit later than the PS3 version.

I see, mission design, writing and minigames.
All things that are not possible in a 3d gta right?
I loved the gta stories games while i left chinatown wars after a pair of missions... I guess i'm not the only one.
"our" who? :OThat's made by one of our Polish devs

Well considering all of those things are "possible" but not as good on handheld 3D GTAs then I fail to see what your point is?
Also GTA 4 is a 3D GTA that I didn't finish - the city, while a staggering achievement, was the only thing that will stay with me from that game.
A good game is a good game, regardless of how many dimensions it's represented in.
Are you talking about Soul Sacrifice? This game kicks serious asses in terms of gameplay... shame the customization of the character is really limited. SS is still a great game though. 8.5 on 10 in my book... Go Keiji? Soul Sacrifice 2 plz... XD

oh so Real Boxing is powered by UE3 and is Tegra optimized game, will be interesting to see how it run on Vita
The point is that the reasons why you love chinatown wars are not tied to it being 2d. If chinatown wars was 3d with those elements you would have loved it(even more probably).Well considering all of those things are "possible" but not as good on handheld 3D GTAs then I fail to see what your point is?

:O
I hope you'll show even more vita love in future
There's no guarantee though - the wit might have been lost if voice actors were added, for example.
Chinatown Wars was shit hot. I triple-dipped (DS, PSP, iOS) and I'd buy a qHD Vita remake in a heartbeat. Being 2D was a significant part of the appeal.

This just makes me sad that we're never going to get a Fight Night game on Vita.
My man - having great taste in everything must be an English trait. Not like these heathens.

I'm English. To be honest I liked Chinatown Wars. But it's still not a 3D GTA and not as fun as the 3D GTA games. It wasn't fun for messing around. Mission stuff was fun though and the drug dealing minigame was cool.
