Today Rockstar Games have announced that a GTA game will indeed be coming to the PSP, previous stories were just rumours and unconfirmed by Rockstar, but this press release confirms it.

Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and a brand new iteration of Grand Theft Auto for the highly anticipated PSP™ handheld system. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and the new Grand Theft Auto title, which will be set in Liberty City, are being developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar North, respectively. Both titles are expected to be available near the launch of the PSP handheld system in North America and Europe.

The game will be developed by Rockstar Leeds as "Sony's extremely impressive technology has allowed Rockstar Leeds to do more on a handheld machine than we could have ever imagined."

GTA Advance wasn't exactly a big success after it was released on the same day as San Andreas, so we have decided to rename that particular forum to GTA Handheld to accomodate posts about GTA on the PSP as well in the hop it will bring more activity to it,

YUCK!? What?

I'm buying it. Either when it comes out here in America, on Ebay, or if that site sends me one((let me explain)).

I was looking for cheap PSPs online when I came across a site that was selling it((no pic, no info, but whatever)) for 0.01 pounds. So I ordered it. They already contacted me saying the were processing the order, and they would email me 24 hours before it shipped.

Spaz The Great 11th January, 2005 @ 22:16 - Permalink

Actually I converted it online to something like 0.0110 dollars. Hope it works. :w00t:

this gta is supposed to have multiplayer(that is hopefully better than san andreas)

Oscar 19th February, 2005 @ 01:15 - Permalink

Multiplayer too, damn Iwant it, I dont have the money, but I want it.

Spaz The Great 19th February, 2005 @ 01:30 - Permalink

The PSP will have online capabilities straight out of the box. Maybe it will be our ever-so wanted and anticipated online GTA?

Oscar 19th February, 2005 @ 06:22 - Permalink

I see, if they dont use online here, they wont use it ever, but I think they will here.

Spaz The Great 19th February, 2005 @ 06:43 - Permalink

There is the possibility of using it on GTA4. The PS3 will be network capatible straight out of the box, also.

I :wub: Sony...

I know is a thing from Rockstar, and maybe they will wait until the PC and XBOX versions of SA kick the market big time, but they havent announced nothing about a new GTA game, they are probably waiting, because I am almost sure they will bring one to be one of the biggest choiced in the PS3 and if what you say is true, then well, "GTA Four", will be the second GTA with official multiplayer.

Spaz The Great 19th February, 2005 @ 07:22 - Permalink

I have good expectations for GTA PSP, and HUGE expectations for GTA 4.

Oscar 19th February, 2005 @ 07:31 - Permalink

Me too, GTA4 with the power of the PS3, will be a hell of a good game, if Rockstar makes the changes they need to make, man I will surely buy a PS3 then, about PSP, well, probably later.
