There has never been anything on a handheld like this

It appears Rockstar has been proudly informing the World that the PSP’s Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is set to shake handheld gaming up somewhat, with the developer describing the game as something handheld gamers will never have encountered before on a portable console.

‘We never looked at it like it was a portable game,’ said a senior Rockstar representative to the US Official PlayStation 2 Magazine, before proclaiming (and let noone accuse Rockstar of lacking confidence), ‘I would really be surprised if there were more expansive handheld games ever made, but content-wise, I can be very confident in saying there has never been anything on a handheld like this.’

The interview covered other areas as well, with issue of battery life also brought up. The Rockstar rep refused to specify precisely how long the battery would last during play. We were assured that the game was designed to be as economical as possible, with the interviewee saying, ‘The process of laying the data and code paths out to facilitate elegant streaming automatically ensures we are as battery-friendly as possible.’ Jolly good.

GTA: Liberty City Stories is still slated for a September release, and it can’t be long now before we get our first screenshots. We’ll keep you informed. Source: palgn
