i think the competition will be good. i really like gang$tar but i felt like gameloft left the door open. Once the missions were played out there was just not enough in the open environment to keep me interested, I really think it was just a lack of detail and final fit and finish. -Failure to think about what one would do after beating the game. i like how missions were quick and easy to get into (despite simplistic) for a mobile device but not enough places to explore, needs larger maps, extra cities (even if downloadable content) all gameloft needs is a few updates,,, that said, this is where they left the door open for car jack streets 2,, excellent it will be in 3d,,, if they offer both missions, side missions and interesting things to do in the open world it will certainly do very very well. add in secret items, hidden things to do it could be very profitable and something to really look forward too. I cannot wait to get more details. i certainly hope they have many vehicles, easter eggs, etc, can't stress that enough. i'm sure they'll work hard on game controls too. good luck tag.
yes because competition is bad. the more options the better. while i'm glad gta chinatown wars is coming, was hoping rockstar would come out with a 3d from scratch rather than a port. hopefully ctw will do well and more will come from rockstar
I wouldn't mind a bit if Rockstar ported a 3d GTA to the iPhone. San Andreas on the iDevice would OWN, and it's totally possible on the 3GS. However, I think this game might easily beat Gangstar, if it has day/night cycles, licensed indie music, and repeating side missions like the last one did. Also it would be cool if you could customize the character, or have an apartment you could also customize, and even tanks and helicopters that even the cops use if you get a lot of stars. I'm not expecting any of those extras. I just think they would be awesome. I am waiting to see what this game is capable of.
Thanks for all the awesome feedback on this thread. I think for Tag CJS 2 will be an opportunity, starting from a blank canvas, to really take onboard all the comments and suggestions made by the community and give you the game players what you really want. You are of course well aware of some of the limitations that CJS had being ported and then super charged from the J2ME code base to iPhone. That wont be an issue this time around, so expect much better AI and physics. We welcome the competition from Gameloft and Rockstar but we will be ensuring that CJS 2 stands apart from those other games. Probably our biggest desire is to take what we learnt from CJS and apply that in a bigger, more detailed city environment. We also want to be different by being the GTA style game the whole family can play and enjoy - no 18 rated/mature content here. We will be continuing the lighter more humourous approach. I think you will really like what we are doing - but for now its very early on in development and lets see how GTA:CW is recieved and how CJS does on DSi Ware and PSP mini later this year. Oh and apologies to Tiny Omar if the Scotch did fuel some robust conversation on here during the CJS launch period. Those were crazy days/nights and it does get old, real quick when folk are taking cheap shots at a game you have slaved over for months. Cheers P
Hey Paul, How's CJS2 going along at Tag Games? Can you tell me whether its close to its release yet? Thanks.
it's not really happenin. they were busy making astro ranch and b-boy beats, i suspect they havent even started coding but i have actually no idea of course!
gangster was a joke. I bought it to get my fix for gta. but it doesnt compare. i played for 2 mins and deleted it.
I'll update on the CJS2 situation once we have Astro Ranch out and we know what sales figures are like. Feel free to post here what you'd like to see in the sequel so we can take that into account! Cheers P
Motorcycles You said that you would include them in an update for CJS, but I don't think you ever did. I will probably only buy it if there are motorcycles (I am a biker/nutter in real life) so please include them
this game should just be made anyway, no harm in further gta3d clones as long as an OFFICIaL one isnt out yet.
