Also helping out on the title is Rockstar North - the Scottish lot who are not from Yorkshire at all.
Not a vast amount of further information was added to what we know from last night's Nintendo press conference. A spot of emphasis was put on the fact that the touch screen and stylus will be brought into play, while the story was described as "an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate".
Naturally, there was a corporo-quote to go with the announcement. "This is a game that will deliver a rich, fast-paced and intense 'Grand Theft Auto' experience that will be truly unique to Nintendo's handheld platform", uttered Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games.
"Rockstar Leeds, along with the team at Rockstar North, has built upon a decade of progressive design on Grand Theft Auto, and has created something fundamentally fresh and immersive." Cheers, Sam - but we reckon we could still drink 'em under the table at our local in Wakefield.

Yeah you could. Got a few handy drinkers, but none that can compete with the Wakefield lot :-)

Terrible news though, I think Marcus has stopped drinking... so we couldn't even pwn Team17 let alone Team17 AND Rockstar Leeds.
Actually, we'd probably have to pwn Rockstar London's PR people for permission to ask Rockstar Leeds for a beer down Fernandez.
Ahhh.... I remember when the industry was all fields.

I reckon you could actually, having spent an evening Bohlen last year drinking with 2 spongites (whom I now forget) and being told by a German that English people are silly.
The younger Spongite would struggle though from what I remember.

See, if you were capable of taking photos, that kind of undermines the whole drinking fest.
Or does it. I hate logic. Give me a large Paddy'n'red.

Goddamn, that sounds like a challenge. As the young SPOnGer in question, I'm going to have to politely ask you to retract that statement. Otherwise, I'm going to have to call you out. The last person I had to call out ended up being sick in on the entire West Yorkshire Police Force before waking up in a compromising position with a big chap named Bubba. After a whole Big Thing involving a manhunt over the moors and angry transvestites he went and lost his house key.
It was horrible.
