    Agreed, hopefully, at least the 3GS will be able to accommodate congestion more akin to LA.

    or, if they are extremely nice, they could have more cars and higher resolution based on how much RAM you have, that way, unless you want better performance, you wouldnt have to reset before playing.

    IGN said it was full of cars and people. There are quite a few of people.

    "Despite what you may have heard, plenty of folks are walking in LA. That, of course, means lots of peds to run down for cash if you don't mind dealing with the heat from the cops. After flattening a few bystanders, I had the police's attention and a handful of rollers on my tail. The game did not slow down at all while the cops tried to box me in." -IGN

    And don't forget, dude. The latest update from PocketGamer UK said that "Character AI is apparently still being optimised". Gameloft is probably going to add more peds and cars after they've finished programming the first batch.

    I don't really care about the people on the street. I just want the open world.

    Yeh, an open world is the priority, a few extra peds are secondary.
    But a few more peds would be great :)

    Yeah, running them over etc. etc. would be great :D

    Also, for those complaining about the graphics. Pffftttt.... it's all about the gameplay.

    Well, don't forget, Pocket Gamer said the AI are still being optimized. Usually in these free roam games, they makes a number of people and car models, make sure they're programed correctly, perfect them, and then make more people by duplication of the already perfected ones. because if you make a bunch of clones of the original batch, when it has not been perfected, you'd have to program all of them. And when a whole bunch of people are working on the same model/models with different computers running those models, it's not as easy to use the "undo" function there as it is when you're working on something by yourself in a run of the mill 3D program on your PC.

    There is a chance Gameloft might not do that in Gang$tar, but Rockstar has done it with GTA games.

    I hope that Gameloft do that, and optimise the game for best quality and performance.

    The more stuff that needs to be loaded into the scene (that includes peds/people), the more chance of lag, as there may not be enough RAM left for the device to use.

    When some games ask you to switch your device off and on again, it's to reset to the full amount of RAM possible on your device - to prevent lag and boost performance
