Shot from GTA on GBC
Annual financial reports don’t usually make the most interesting reading for the average gamer. However, there is often some sort of juicy hint to be found in the depths of the quagmire of largely irrelevant stats and figures. In Take 2’s most recent financial reports (which, incidentally, recorded Q2 losses) was one such nugget of joy. Grand Theft Auto for the GBA is set to be released this autumn.
There has been very little forthcoming information regarding GBA GTA. It hasn’t even been revealed as to whether it will be a 2D or 3D affair. However, GBA owners are sure to savour every new big name game, as the increasing hype surrounding the PSP and DS continues to amplify and drown out any GBA-related excitement.
With GTA San Andreas also expected this autumn, and a GTA PSP game lurking somewhere in the not too distant future, we can expect to see plenty more hype surrounding everyone’s preferred crime-sim of choice over the next few months. Rockstar can also be confident that its recent financial losses will be fully consoled and compensated by an enormous, Scarface-style mountain of GTA-derived cash in Q4 of this year.

Sounds interesting, but I have a horrible feeling it'll be a return to the 2D top-down affairs of yesteryear.

This is the kind of game they should move over to NDS, since,|GBA is okay but it's kinda reached it's peak in what it can do. I been hearing things about a 3d engine for GBA, but if it gets used is another thing altogether.

A great outlit for GTA to return to its roots.
But the GTA style as it stands would probably be more interesting on the DS than it would be on the PSP, even though it would take a slight graphical downgrade.
