hmmm, I thought it was to be released "following the European launch" as opposed to on the day. Gamespot has probably just misunderstood Rockstar's announcement.

Rockstar are putting "1" old charcters of the farnchise into this new edision of the "Grand Theft Auto" series.

The next 2 boys are right, I ment other charcters.

Well you could have at least checked that the information you were giving out was correct before posting it. It's not exactley a mistake is it? More like laziness.

Nailz

Thank You Franky Boy, your a very nice lad.

Franky Boy

I take that back, you should check your info before you post if you don't want to be completely slated by everyone.

Nailz

Really, I thought it was a version of GTA:III
Oh! Well I think your right now because if it was the old city

There hasn't been a whole lot of information given, on anything! Even if it was to be released on September 1st, wouldn't the official site have been updated by now?

May 17, 2005 - Rockstar Games just announced what Sony PlayStation Portable owners the world over have been waiting for... Grand Theft Auto is coming, baby.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is set to release across North America and Europe sometime after September 1 of this year, perhaps coinciding or coming shortly after the European launch of PSP. The game was officially announced at SCE Europe's press conference, giving credit where due to the team in Europe who started this franchise and who have worked with Rockstar to make GTA a household name.
According to officially released materials, Liberty City Stories is being developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with the franchise creators at Rockstar North. And, it will be a PSP exclusive title.

Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games, says, "Returning to Liberty City and bringing it to life on a handheld system has been both nostalgic and extremely inspiring for us. The incredible PSP system technology allows for fans of the previous Grand Theft Auto titles to revisit Liberty City and see it from an amazing new perspective with an entirely original storyline. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories will be a bold new experience that has never before been possible on a portable platform."

Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North, continues... "We've been very ambitious with Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. By collaborating extensively with Rockstar Leeds, we've been able to create a massive, uncompromising experience on the PSP system that we believe both long-time Grand Theft Auto fans and newcomers will be excited to get their hands on."

And finally, Gordon Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds, adds his own comments. "We have worked very closely with Rockstar North to bring the same integrity and production value of the previous Grand Theft Auto titles to the PSP system. People's expectation for a Grand Theft Auto title will always be very high, and we're confident that we can deliver a revolutionary experience. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories will be the most intense and epic title created for the PSP system, undoubtedly setting the standard for this groundbreaking platform."

Billed as an entirely new kind of GTA, Liberty City Stories will "bring an unprecedented mobile dimension to this epic experience." While no real specifics are being revealed, we know that the game takes place in Liberty City and will feature the "interactive, open environment, superb voice talent and diverse music that have become pioneering trademarks of the series."

Liberty City Stories is being shown by invitation only at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. We'll have more details as they arise.

I've read in PSM that'll you'll be able to play online with other PSP owners. It will be a whole city of real people just like WoW

dregin

Sounds nice alright.

Franky Boy

It's going to be pretty weird alright.
Just playing wipeout today against Qz.I always thought that you needed a wireless LAN for it.

Nailz

What do you think you'll be doing online, just killing every body.

qz

Have you ever played GTA before? Can you not speculate for yourself as to what you can do in multiplayer? That's assuming there even is a multiplayer mode.

Nailz

Like please tell me an exampel of what you can do because I don't have a clue.
I think I'll stick with the normal 1 player mode. (if you want do multiplayer I'm not stoppin' ya)

Mossy Monk

you can have running races on the streets, race cars, see whats faster (plane or bicycle)

seriously though multiplayer GTA would be nice, i believe a patch can be got for the San Andreas PC version and it is supposed to be pretty nifty

Illuvatar

You can play the "missions" with a friend and what not. Pretty much do what you like.

Thumper Long

looks like its set for release on 7th of october linky

shortys94

game are still saying sep 1st, it would be so great if it actually did, but october 7 seems like a more realistic date

Nailz

Why would you think that? I think they delayed it to many times before, so I don't think they'll delay it again, it just seems impossible.

fdevine

Guys, from what info I can get you can take your pick of dates between 7th and 24th October.

liksang.com, who are usually quick off the mark say 24th for the US version.

There will be about 20 launch titles, but GTA wont be one of them....

Nailz

I would say the Euro release would be a wee-bit before the US release,
Because the game and the other manufactering of the game are located in England,
such as Rockstar "Leeds".

This wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference.
