GTA - San Andreas!!

Post by **Morty** » 24 Jul 2004, 19:50

Well, there's not much news out on the other gangs, but I'll be surprised if skinhead groups isn't included...

Just when I was about to go to bed, I found some more news on the Norwegian GTA Forum. GameSpot will go through the different parts of the game during the next months, and the first part is the food system.

Here is the info, and here are 9 new screenshots.

Enjoy

Hmmz... Seems like I'm the only one bringing out the SA news in here... Well, I've found more

gta-action (who else?) has found a preview from PSM2 Uk, and this was picked up from what I think could be one of the biggest San Andreas sites, GTASanAn.com (a site I will visit quite often from now on). On a forum in the same network, there are 4 scanned pages, in English, about GTA:SA.

So grab a coke and something to eat, here are the scans, enjoy the reading. I know I will...

Edit: It didn't say anything new, but it was good to get it in a language I understand

Well I'm glad you do!! Saves me heaps off time

Fired GTA III up again to kill the time untill SA hits the PC stands.

Stop triple posting, mate!!!

Thanks for the info. I really like the food-system idea. Every reallistic thing is good in this kind of games. I read something about 'speed'... can you take drugs?????

Can you buy different clothes, for example?

If you see the dates, you see that there are a couple of days between the two last... I thought that since so much time had passed, it wouldn't hurt anyone if I posted a new post... Guess I was wrong...

But ok, I won't do it again

Drugs aren't new in GTA... Remember the adrenalin pills?

Dani350z wrote:Can you buy different clothes, for example?

Yeah, I think so. Since you can choose between a number of hair styles, I would think so. You could do the same in VC, and I doubt that R* has left out anything like that...

Just Me · Post by **Just Me** » 29 Jul 2004, 14:43

Yeah, at gtagaming.com there was an article or a link to an article where they mentioned that SA will have several shops with different styles.

And you can decide which colours your gang is going to wear. But this hasn't been confirmed by R* yet.

The previews are coming... As I mentioned in my last post, GTASanAn.com is I place I'm gonna visit more often (I'm even at the forum every day now). And today, they got loads of stuff. It's so much, I don't actually know how much to write. So I'm gonna post a few links:
This is the main news page, which is a good place to start.

This is their previews section, which has got 15 different previews right now (more to come, it's still 3 months until the release). I haven't even read all of them yet...

GMR has got an article about GTA:SA, and here are some new info:
- Names of some small towns in SA: Shady Creeks, Flint County, Whetstone, Fern Ridge and Red County.
- Each of the three big cities has got their own airport with Dodo's.
- You can pick up hitchhikers (and probably give them a ride they'll never forget).
- A tow truck that will tow cars.
- You can choose your own camera angle.
- There is a wide array of outfits in the shops (which answers Dani350z' question).
This is where I found it.

Here you find 13 scans from the Australian GamesTM (cover + 12 pages) (great job by FiShMaStEr with the scans). I just read it, and I definitely think it was worth it. We get a good look at the countryside and they talk about the graphics. Just read it...

There is one thing that is bothering me tho... It's all for PS2 so far. I wonder if the PC version is going to be any different, and how powerful my computer needs to be, so i can play it properly... Guess we won't know until next year, but I got a strong feeling that my computer needs a serious upgrade...

Ok, seems like without me, this thread dies... I wasn't going to post anything more, because I thought people could either drop by the different sites on their own or didn't care, but today I found some pretty big news (on GTASanAn), and I just had to mention it. As we all know, NFSU2 is going GTA with free roaming. Well, Rockstar has decided to go NFSU as well. They've added nitrous (as an option), and it gives you the well known blur effect.

The news comes from the German Play The Playstation, and also includes this:
- 150 core missions
- Golden Gate bridge is called Gant bridge
- San Fierro has got a hippie festival called "Hushbury & Garcia Joint Festival"
- You can choose between different dialogues when talking to people
- Chinatown is in San Fierro

I can't wait for this game to be released...

Thats some cool info you got there, Morty!!

but watch out: This could happen again...

IMO: DONT; otherwise I wouldn't have seen theres some new info

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 17 Aug 2004, 15:18

No problem, I used to do that when I was a new user but I was warned and now I have a "spamming ticket"
Yeah I remember those adrenaline pills. I like the idea of different dialogues when talk with ppl, there is always a 'funny option' between all the sentences to choose

popmihai2002 · Post by **popmihai2002** » 17 Aug 2004, 16:11

I wanna see screenshots of GTA san ANdREAS and i've got a question.will there be a PC version of the game?

Post by **Morty** » 17 Aug 2004, 19:01

Kekum: As long as he's not a mod, I'm not too worried....

Dani: Yeah, R* has already said that the humor from previous games will be in SA too, the R* crew has been fighting to make the funniest parts of the game, so we can probably look forward to a lot of fun

popmihai: Here are all screenshots released so far (I think). PC version will come, but don't expect it before May 2005... I hope they will release it sooner than that, but I'm prepared for a long wait...

Post by **Morty** » 20 Aug 2004, 18:44

Ok, first of all, sorry for this double post

I decided to drop by both gta-action and gtasanan today, and I certainly didn't regret it. They both had big news!

On this site you will find a few links for download of the trailer (in wmv and zip/mov). CHECK IT OUT!!

KekumRulez · Post by **KekumRulez** » 20 Aug 2004, 18:55

thanks for the info, Morty! The 1min9sec, 10mb movie looks quite nice!

LOL at the old VC way of getting in a car

Post by **Morty** » 20 Aug 2004, 19:35

Yeah, that kinda surprised me... I thought R* had improved that too... But people say "don't fix what's not broken", and I guess we can live with that

I wonder how that graffiti thing will work... Can we spray what we want, or are there premade graffities to choose from...?

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 20 Sep 2004, 08:50

Release date for PC, yeah, on 15th of may 2005 and here is a quote:

The Internet Movie Database is reporting that San Andreas will have a PC version date of May 15, 2005. The IMDB has been known to be a reliable site, but keep some doubt until this information comes directly from a Rockstar press release. Also note that their PS2 version is still listed as October 19th. We send thanks to Jasonlives for this piece of news.

same as vicecity, very close to the exams date

, but ill get it whatever happens

thanks to GtaGaming

That means my tip was correct...

8 months... *sigh* They better make it worth the long wait...

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 23 Sep 2004, 04:13

just pre-ordered my copy of SA at EB.... not long now. i realy hope this game doesnt stuff up my PS2 like GT3 and VC did when it first came out because of rushed release.

VPNeverLoser · Post by **VPNeverLoser** » 25 Sep 2004, 00:55

did you guys know that you have to eat in San Andreas? If you dont eat you get skinny and die and if you eat to much you get fat and i guess you die as well or you will be a slow runner
