GTA - San Andreas!!

Post by **Morty** » 13 May 2004, 23:59

Ok... I've surfed around a little, and there is more news out. The most important in my opionion is this:

San Andreas is an entire state, including the three cities Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturra (Las Vegas). Each of these will be bigger than the entire Vice City... The rumors say this game will be 4 to 6 times bigger than its predecessor... (I've already got low free space on my 280 GB, so I'll have to buy a new harddrive).

The gameplay will be early 90's, you will need to eat to stay alive, the building interiors will be improved, and you can commit burglary. You can run a Casino, or just gamble away your money in Las Venturra. You can recruit a gang, and drag members along on missions.

I can't wait to play this

The sources (contains more info than the stuff I wrote):
German: GameVision
English: Gamesradar
( I found both these on gta-action )

>>>> Story line boyz!!!! <<<<<

Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas...a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers.

Now, it's the early 90s. Carl's got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster.

On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Take control of the state as you weave your way up the criminal ladder, former your own gangs, buying your own property and even building your own casino. GTA: San Andreas is going to take you places that no game has taken you before!

the thing that is KILLING me is there has been No mention of an 'online feature" like MTA but like an official version thats not faulty and glitchy!!!

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 16 May 2004, 11:12

nup, there wont be any online play.... well my best guess says not. its doesnt sound that good any way. i rememeber taking all this time to install MTA, finally got it working and it sucked hahah. i wouldnt mind an option for co-op tho, maybe linking to PS2 together and playing... at least your there with the person so you know know gonna drive,and who will shot... like halo.

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 16 May 2004, 11:24

now that would be AWSOME,

but i think the only reason MTA was soo bad was that you had to run the server of your PC and it wasnt a official EA releas

at least i dont think it was.

a online co-op feature would be really good!!

what about if you could trade things online like cars and things or money and start your own gangs and wow the possiblities are endless!!!

i wanna make a CASINO and be a casino overlord!!

this game seems to have a whole lot of freedom, which will be good, because unlike GTA's before it, you'll finish it, play it again but do different things. thats what im so pleased about. Now eating? thats pretty ... different. what happends if you never eat.... will you not be able to sprint... or die?!

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 16 May 2004, 11:39

yeah, but how will they introduce this whole idea od eating to survive into it?
does that mean that if you eat your health goes up?
or could it mean that if you eat you are sronger so when you fight ppl in the street you can kick there a**es??

im so excitied GT4, NFSU2 and GTASA all being released and relativly the same time, at least close to each other, i dont no what i'll play play first!!!!!!!!!!!

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 16 May 2004, 12:09

well only having an Xbox, im guessing NFS:U2, wouldnt that be great if they shocked the world and released gta on xbox aswell... one can only hope

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 16 May 2004, 12:13

why wouldnt they release it on Xbox? i mean considering they released GTa 3 and GTA vice city and it was farily popular on Xbox, why wouldnt they realease it straight away this time?? instead of like a year later!! hahahah

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 17 May 2004, 06:39

because they were just special edition games to make a few extra hundred thousands dollars... i dont think an xbox release has been set... maybe in two years when the another GTA is released.

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 17 May 2004, 08:46

also - Make sure you buy issue #48 of the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine, for an exclusive San Andreas blow out: all the official info and loads of brand new shots not seen anywhere else.

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 17 May 2004, 10:04

meh its a shame to all you xboxers out there, guess you boys will just have to wait!!

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 18 May 2004, 08:54

i was talking to a kid at school today, he said you can now rob homes! dunno if its true, but i hope if you can theres plenty of houses to burgle... not just one that is basicly in the game for that sole pupose

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 18 May 2004, 14:07

yeah, iv'e heard the game is very interactive, and i think all the homes are accessable for robbery, but some have locks, seceruity systems and even gaurd dogs. hope so because that would be awsome, guess we wont really know until it comes out ayy

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 19 May 2004, 11:30

hmm, i dont know about the guard dogs, gta have never had dogs and lets face it they arent a new thing... having dogs mean u can kill dogs (would have to if they're guard dogs) and that spells trouble... its ok to have a game about killing people because people are playing it, i dont think it would work well if you were encouraged to kill them

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 19 May 2004, 11:49

dude what are you talking abou there are tons of games where you 'kill' animals' and i mean if you can walk around sniping random ppl in the head why couldnt you kill dogs? either way it was just a rumor i heard of a mate, who knows!

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 19 May 2004, 12:16

what game do you kill animals in cold blood? i know you can in deer hunter dont count, and maybe in resident evil - but the undead dog doesnt count either.

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 19 May 2004, 12:19

are you saying animals have more right then humans?

in 'age of empires' u slay inosent animals for food.

theres other games you can kill animals for no reason, just cant put finger on then at the moment.

anyway back on topic, i was think the other day, how good would it be if GTASA had updates like over ps2online, where you would be bale to download new missions?

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 19 May 2004, 12:28

dude, i never said anything about rights, its just different killing a person to a dog. i dont think im the only one who thinks that - thats why u havent seen a dead dog on the street in Liberty city

you also may have noticed i said "Cold Blood" im not a vegetarian killing animals for food is fine by me.... but i dont think Carl Johnson is going to eat a cat...

hot sauce · Post by **hot sauce** » 19 May 2004, 12:30

yeah but you say cold blood, the game allows you to kill people in the street at will? so why is killing a dog any diferent?

Qyntel · Post by **Qyntel** » 19 May 2004, 12:35

Dude!!! i was talking about killing defencless animals in cold blood, if i (Tommy) can kill you (a ped) why cant you kill me??? same thing... people killing animals in games is not cool and thats why you wont see it in any GTA game... its just soo wrong to kill a dog in a game. if you have a prob with killling people, i guess i wont see you in the line buying SA
