Rockstar Games has released the first screenshots of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the PlayStation Portable today and... it definitely looks like Chinatown Wars.
The major differences you'll see in the screens versus the Nintendo DS version is a higher resolution (and widescreen) and the lack of a second screen. Everything else, from what we can tell, looks the same. We're still curious as to how the game will play, and whether or not Rockstar has adapted touch-screen gameplay elements to the PSP or ripped them out altogether.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be available on October 20.

About the touch screen elements, they're easy adaptable. Like how you unscrew the panel to hot wire cars, you can totally use the analog nub and use quick time events for some of the other elements.
You guys have forgotten what GTA is without 3D and stylus mini-games!
that's exactly how stealing radios from cars in the PSP version of The Warriors worked. The new controls for Chinatown Wars will be just fine.
And, as atastysammich points out, it might work out for the better on the PSP since you wouldn't need to switch the control method on the fly.
play The Warriors. The PSP or PS2 version should be dirt cheap. It is one of the best movie based video games ever, no lie. And coincidentally, it was also made by Rockstar games.
@casualweaponry:: Uhhhh...Chinatown Wars is rendered in 3D. They just use a similar camera angle to GTA and GTA2.
