While looking up Stratagus I found this.
From what I see it looks to be playable, and there has been somewhat recent development (January).
Would be a great thing to have on the Pandora.
Whaddya think?

Probably better off playing real gta 1&2 on psx emulator, IMHO.

True,
but with this there is always the option of adding touchscreen support, adding mods, etc.
Stuff you just can't do with the PSX.

 

[dsleaf67]

Good Point, never really thought about that.

I hope the Pandora can run them faster than a real PS1 then as they were too SLOW compared to the PC versions.

 

[Hotcooler]

Plus a better resolution and I guess 3D acceleration (texture filtering atleast). Plus I think it will be much more faster than a PS1 emulation.

GTA2 would be a blast to play on the Pandora. especially if you could get the Multiplayer working.

See, the thing that prevented me from playing and enjoying gta 1/2 was the reletive direction controls. Sorry, but if I push up I want to go UP not left, or right, or wherever I face. Reletive controls work for FIRST PERSON PRESPECTIVE ONLY, not third, not overhead, FIRST and FIRST PERSON ONLY!

*huff*

Sorry.

Yeah I hate when games do that too. That was a real pain in Twinsen's Odyssey (Little Big Adventure 2 for all u Europeans).

How easy would it be to accurately shoot in the direction you wanted using the control system you suggested?

How about shooting at someone and running backwards away from them at the same time?

 

[MagicPants]

It's good to support open/indy games, shows the Pandora andora1: isn't just for emulation, and dispels some of the notions about piracy.

I'm a little sad openGTA is just reimplementing. Seems like it wouldn't be hard to make your own original content for something like that.

It isn't just reimplementing.
Their goals are to (1) reimplement GTA 1 and (2) Make it better.

With 2 analog nubs and a bit of getting used to? :blink:

 

[waffles]

yeah, anyone who has played smash tv can attest that its not really that hard.

 

[MarkoeZ]

oh sorry, i was just falling backward off my chair. i was thinking about GTA with Abuse kind of controls

Just map up and down to buttons 1 & 2 on the panda and you have a micro-machines style control system. Wohoo!

Asteroids, with its overhead perspective, was a huge hit despite using relative controls.
And it still makes a lot of sense to, say, press right when you want to turn clockwise, IMO.
I guess it depends.. but relative controls can work on other than first person perspective.

 

[Jeric]

Maybe its just me then, I dunno. I just never could get used to how gta and similar games handled controls.

 

[Blazix]

Ummmmmm..... the controls were set that way in gta because it made it possible to play with a ps1 car wheel controller <_< .... I still have mine

 

[Jeric]

Then why wasn't it an option to switch control behavior? After all not EVERYBODY has the wheel.
