GTA - San Andreas!!

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 02 Mar 2005, 02:40

hmmm, lets get this thread back to life after a long while

1st: Playstation portable's GTA news:

Firstly, Grand Theft Auto on PlayStation Portable. Online retailer EBGames has been advertising a date of May 15, 2005 on their website. Unfortunately, several sources within the games media have seen this as 'inside information' leading them to believe that a date has been confimed to the retailer by Rockstar. Further confusion arose when a few Grand Theft Auto fansites posted that Gamespot.com were showing the same date on their gamespace. Well, the bad news is that Gamespot and EBGames' databases are linked, whatever date EBGames posts will appear on the Gamespot website, and whatever screenshots Gamespot post will appear on the EBGames website. Also, it should be taken into account that it is not unknown for retailers to place incredibly speculative dates online in order to receive media coverage and thus, boost preorder numbers and sales.

We may, however, find out details of the PSP Grand Theft Auto later this week when Take 2 Games report their First Quarter Fiscal 2005 results on Thursday. These press statements are mainly aimed at investors, but often contain details on forthcoming games. The last time Take 2 reported, we received release dates for the Xbox and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, so keep your eyes peeled on GTAGaming for all the latest news this Thursday.

2nd: San Andreas PC news

Keeping with the PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, top games magazine PC Gamer claim to have a 'first look' feature on the game in their next issue, which hits stores on May 5th.We'll bring any information about the game as soon as it's available

so be ready for a first look on the PC version and improvements made as well as lots of news soon

credits goes to GTAGaming as they posted the whole news

i still havn't played it yet, stil waiting for it come out on PC. In fact all my mates who have bought it on the PS2 have stopped playing it now until it comes out on the PC, then they can play it probably...

My bad

, it was confirmed by PC Gamer itself that it will be in the next issue (April)

, here is the confirmation :

About a month from now, PC Gamer will put out a new issue with the first details on San Andreas for the PC. Here is the e-mail I got:
"I recently got my new copy of PC Gamer magazine in the mail and they mentioned at the back that next month's issue will have exclusive details and more regarding Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PC."

- John Glass (aka. Batmanvscrane)

They did the same for Vice City's PC version, and I have the full scoop on what that had here. With PC Gamer getting the exclusive, the only thing I expect to hear by Thursday is a GTA PSP release date. It would be very unlike Take-Two to not announce anything new GTA-wise when they do their quarterly results report then.

That's shiznit and you know it. I depends on what you are used to. I completed the game 100% on PS2 with no problems

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 05 Mar 2005, 01:25

yeah, maybe, but still much easier on PC

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 05 Mar 2005, 15:02

You are used to play GTA on pc. That's why you think it's hard on PS2 because controls are different. I can play on bought with no problem. Because from the GTA3 i played the gta games on PS2 instead of PC

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 05 Mar 2005, 19:23

i think that GTA SA will be far superior in many aspects for PC. first of all the graphics. the graphics for GTA VC on PS2 were ok, but on PC they looked like the pictures in the booklet, the scenery was beatiful. not only that you can customize practicaly anything. you can alter the islands, the cars, the speed, anything practiaclly. i might buy GTA san andreas for PC once its down to like 20

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 05 Mar 2005, 23:15

yeah i agree, i played VC on both PS2 and PC, and it was much better on PC especially the gfx and ability to put your own mp3

PS2 controls are harder for me than PC, but I still think GTA is way better on PC than on PS2. Why? The graphics are a lot better, you can modify the game (a lot), you can add your own music, you can watch TV while you play (unless you use the PC as TV, like I do...) and aiming is a lot easier...

True but i play on the PS2 and Listen to music on my pc. I just turn out the radio sound and play all my songs with winamp. And beside's i only play 2player mode on the PS2 that's alot harder on the PC

i agree, i wish San Andreas (PC) will have a built in Multiplayer mode...anyway, if not, MTA will do the trick.

all right so has anyone of you pass the game without cheat codes

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 09 Mar 2005, 20:17

I have completed the game 100% without cheating because when you cheat you can only compleet the game for 99.1%

when will be the release of the GTA San Andreas for PC

Post by **Morty** » 10 Mar 2005, 19:44

If you'd searched a little in this topic, you would have found the answer... Which is June 7th for North America, June 10th for Europe. I'm not sure about the date for Asia and Oceania, but I guess it would be around the date for Europe...

Interesting... I have the OS, the CPU and the RAM... IF I shut down all other programs... I need more RAM, but I kinda had a feeling I'd need that... Anyway, good job Skyline_man

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 13 Mar 2005, 00:15

Thanks Morty

, the only thing i need to upgrade now is the RAM, i only have 256mb

, but i wont get it now, i will get it before the release of SA with a week or something, coz it will be much cheeper then..i guess i will get about 1024mb, it will be enough.
