Apple iOS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:01, 15 October 2011

The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad are a series of multimedia devices created by Apple, and each run on variations of the Apple iOS, a mobile operating system created by Apple. Two Grand Theft Auto games have been made for iOS devices: GTA Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto III

The devices are quite similar in functionality as they run the same operating system and applications. The iPod Touch lacks the telephone functionality of the iPhone, whilst the iPad is essentially a larger tablet version of the iPod Touch, but more expensive versions of the iPad have 3G mobile internet functionality.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

GTA Chinatown Wars was quietly released onto the App Store at midnight on January 18th, 2010. The game features the same missions available for the PSP version. One difference is the lack of Rockstar Games Social Club - the bonus Xin missions, which were previously only available after completing the main story line, locating the two Lions of Fo and syncing the device to Social Club, are now available without the use of Social Club. A new radio station allows players to use a custom radio tracklist from their iTunes. This version features the enhanced graphics of the PSP version released after the DS iteration, but re-introduces the touch screen functionality of the DS, replacing the quicktime events supplemented in the PSP port.

On September 9th, 2010, a version of game with enhanced graphics (dubbed Chinatown Wars HD) was released for use on the iPad.

Grand Theft Auto: 10th Anniversary Edition

In October 2011, Rockstar Games announced a 10th Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto III would be released for mobile phones and tablets, including the iPad, iPhone and a selection of Android devices, due to be released later in fall 2011.

The only iOS devices that will support the game will be those with with the newer dual-core A5 Chip. The only models so far that have this chip are the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S - it will not be backwards compatible to the original iPad, earlier iPhones or any iPod Touch.
