Rumor: Rockstar was developing 3D open-world game for DS
According to online resume listings, Rockstar may have been working on a second DS title. Rockstar Leeds, the studio behind Chinatown Wars, was apparently working on a 3D open-world game for the system.
The resume of an ex-AI programmer contained this blurb:
“…Later I worked on an unannounced DS title set in a full 3D open world. For this title I worked on various AI Systems including a complex hand to hand combat system. I ended my position at Rockstar while working on L.A. Noire for PS3.”
Meanwhile, an art assistant’s Linked in profile states that the employee has been involved with “2D and 3D art, prop placement and research.” The staffer is still with Rockstar Leeds.
Are the two listings related? Is the game still in development? My guess would be no to the second question. Or, if anything, perhaps the project was moved to the 3DS. At this point it just wouldn’t make sense to bring the game to the DS since, although it’s receiving some support still, is on the way out.
