Is Grand Theft Auto coming to the iPhone? That was the rumor bouncing around Le Internet all morning as eyes fell upon the site
www.coming-on-iphone.com. The site hosts just a short video, nestled in an iPhone bezel. But that video is of a huge crime epic that looks an awful lot like GTA. None of it appears to be game footage, just pre-rendered goods designed to build a little hype. Well, it worked.
According to
Tech Rader, Rockstar had categorically denied any involvement with the viral stunt. And so a second rumor is now going around: Gameloft's
Gangstar: Crime City is being ported to iPhone. Gangstar was a 2D GTA-ish game for mobile and
Gameloft has been porting over a lot of their mobile hits to the iPhone. The possibility that this is a souped-up Gangstar makes a lot of sense.
