Thanks to Jake for the news tip!


Watch out, Grand Theft Auto. A new game will be unveiled in the near future and IGN says the title is a “GTA competitor” for the DS. On the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, IGN’s Matt Casamassina discussed the game and said that technology-wise, it rivals Chinatown Wars.

“So we’re calling it…It’s definitely a GTA competitor. Especially technology-wise, I think it actually is in many ways better than what Rockstar did with GTA on the DS…I don’t think there’s going to be anywhere near the depth that GTA has but I’m just talking about straight up, first glance at the technology, what’s going on. It’s pretty impressive…”

It’s a “neat open-world game,” you can go inside buildings, use cars, and explore the city streets – It has all of the features you would expect from a GTA title. IGN was supposed to announce the game last night, but that did not happen. So the game should be unveiled soon.
