Magazines always ship late to me once there's something in 'em I want to read. Word has hit the Internet that a new preview of GTA: Chinatown wars has revealed that the game contains more lines of source code than GTA: San Andreas for the PS2, and required a development team twice the size of the ones that created GTA: Vice City and GTA: Liberty City Stories for the PSP. The story's source is the February 2009 issue of EDGE magazine, which of course has not shipped to me yet.
A few other GTA: Chinatown Wars details, allegedly from the mag:
- GTA IV's satellite navigation system
- Buy weapons from your PDA
- Ability to replay missions
- Throw grenades with the touch screen
- Fire weapons with the A button (yes!)
- A touchscreen mini-game for... paying bridge tolls?
