GTA3Ann collageRockStarGames announced today that they are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the release of Grand Theft Auto III with a new version to be released for both Android and iOS devices.

To commemorate the game’s 10th anniversary, we’re proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto III will be coming to select new generation iOS and Android devices later this fall

Only the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 are amongst the confirmed iOS devices supported. Those are also the only two iOS devices that carry the more powerful A5 processor which includes a much higher performing graphics processing unit (GPU), so the limitation makes some sense.

The game will be arriving this fall, and that's about all we know so far.

Oh. My. God.

I'd really be excited if they could get San Andreas on iOS (with the original soundtrack).

I wonder how crappy the controls will be... I remember GTA3 using about every button on the PS controller. There's just ain't no chance mapping those to a touch screen and being joy to use at the same time. Maybe they will just make it less capable.

Games like this are interesting on the iPad for a few minutes until you realize how awkward it is to play it with the iPad's controls.
