GTA PSP announced
The game was announced alongside Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, both games being developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar North. Both titles are expected to be available near the launch of the PSP handheld system in North America and Europe. Few details have been announced at present other than Grand Theft Auto on PSP will be set in Liberty City. One wonders how Rockstar is going to overcome the issue of streaming locations vs. battery life.
"Bringing two of our most successful game franchises to this thrilling new platform not only gives us an opportunity to create a new dimension for these already extraordinary series but also allows us to begin to explore the full potential of the PSP handheld system," said Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games. "Sony's extremely impressive technology has allowed Rockstar Leeds to do more on a handheld machine than we could have ever imagined. We are very excited for gamers to experience these two genre-defining franchises in a fashion that could have never before been possible on a portable system."
"We are working very closely with Rockstar North and Rockstar San Diego to ensure that both Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition remain faithful to the initial vision of these respective franchises," said Gordon Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds. "We understand that gamers' expectations will be very high for new PSP handheld system titles and we are confident that we can deliver exhilarating experiences that will set the standard for what a PSP game can be with Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and our new Grand Theft Auto title."
No longer will be tied to our TV screens when wanting to inflict extreme violence or need to steal $50 from a hooker. This is great news for Sony and will likely be the reason many European gamers buy the handheld.
