ok so basically, im just wondering, r there any devs here who r planing on making a gta type game, whether it be lyk payback on the gp2x, or more of a 3d based version, mabey based more around gta 3 than gta 2, im just wondering. cos if any1 is, that really really cool
Gta Type Game For Pandora?
- Thread starter groniktom
- Start date
well i dont think any1 would actully try a vicecity type attempt, but it was just an option cos som1 might, i wonderer if it would be possible to use the gta lcs/vcs engine to creat more of a entire mod, i guess it wold be very hard porting it but would that be at all possible?, the mod could be lyk an entire new map with new character and car models and a story or somin, or som1 could just try and port lcs/vcs over, that would also be cool, if possible that is

a GTA port (any GTA title) isnt going to happen. theres no source code out there.
there was a commercially released game for the GP2X called Payback, very similar to the GTA2 engine. who knows, maybe the developers will try to port it themselves.
the Gameboy GTA games are total crap, not even worth your time.
would be cool for someone to make a homebrew GTA-clone game. with multiplayer support, so you could have a deathmatch across the city. like the new GTA4.
i dont know if the Pandora could handle an engine like GTA3/VC/SA, it might need to be a topview game.

He didn't ask about a port, he asked about a clone. Read his post before bashing it.

How about a 3rd person game for the pandora like gta, but with gameplay like typing of the dead...that way we can see if all the keys work and can be used properly...

GTA4 isn't the first GTA game to have multiplayer support. GTA LCS and VCS for the PSP both have multiplayer support.impreziv said:

The number of devs will explode after the Pandora is released, and there will probably be someone who will attempt an ambitious game in this style. Even so, it may be literally a couple of years from now before it would be ready, so I wouldn't hold my breathGronikthomas said:

I'd say the chances of ever seeing a "homebrew" game that is anything like GTA3 (or any of its successors) are just about zero. Creating an entire 3D city with the kind of detail necessary to make the game worth playing is far beyond the capability of just one or two people doing it as a hobby. The GTA games represent tens, if not hundreds of thousands of man-hours worth of work each. They cost tens of millions of dollars to produce. It is just not realistic to expect anything of that scale to be made for free by hobbyists just because it might be "cool".
And before anybody starts with the "Well what if you just scale down the...", the answer is still no. If you scale down GTA to the point that a couple of people could conceivably handle the project, then it's so far from GTA that it is not worth the (still huge) amount of work that it would take. If you scaled it down to just a couple city blocks, you'd still have thousands of models and textures to come up with. What's the point of an open sandbox game where the sandbox is only a couple blocks?
I hate to sound like such a curmudgeon, but somebody has to be realistic. It's fine to keep coming up with ideas and suggestions. Just try to keep them within the realm of possibility.
