They have a country station. Probably get a lot of it near the townies.

Huge update on the size of San Andreas on Gamespot today. Here are a couple of notes to give you some ideas.

In Vinewood:
- Keep an eye out for such landmarks as the Cathay Theater, the walk of fame, and the famous Vinewood sign, nestled high up in the Vinewood hills.
- You can head up into those hills to find the truly impressive mansions and estates of the Vinewood elite.

In Rodeo:
- Think lots of trendy architecture and beautiful plastic people, and you're thinking the neighborhood of Rodeo.
(It's pretty much where they rich and famous live.)

Downtown:
- You'll be able to zip into and out of the downtown area with ease by riding the Brown Streak railroad, Los Santos' public transportation line.
(Pretty much where everything is happening. Businesses all around and skylines are covered with skyscrapers)

Quick amazing screenshot time...

That, my friends, is part of the freeway.

On the topic of streets, each street in San Andreas has a name. There will street signs located throughout that gives you directions to actual building addresses.

Tattooes:
- In keeping with the gangsta rap spirit of the storyline and your surroundings, the tattoos that will be available will be of the gangs-guns-and-girls variety.
- Looks like you just get to chose from included inks but I wouldn't doubt seeing letters as some of them.

Gang Land:
- If you're being chased by the police or by enemy gang members, you can try to lure them onto your home turf and let members of your own gang come to your aid, bailing you out of what would otherwise be a rough situation.
- If you stray into the turf of a rival gang, whether in a car or on foot, you will be attacked, and not even all at once. Gangs will use varying tactics to take you out, by splitting up, sending ahead advance attackers, and using other wily maneuvers.
- You'll see guys greeting each other, talking on street corners, and flashing gang symbols. These are key signs you'll need to watch for.

Ok now this part I'm just going to copy the whole thing because it's amazing...
- Unlike in Liberty City and Vice City, where every car is apparently new right off the lot, the cars of San Andreas aren't always in the best of shape. The rides you'll pick up, even new ones, will get dirty simply from constant use--you'll see dirt showing up around the wheel wells, on the windshield, near impact points after a fender bender, and in other common trouble spots. If you want to keep riding around in style, keep a look out for carwashes that you can use to maintain the sleek look of your vehicle.

Some of the cars you jack will sport some pretty serious damage, too--look for everything from broken windows to loose bumpers and even bullet-riddled doors. Apparently, some of these cars have already seen a good deal of action.

That's pretty much the major points of the article, you can go and read it for the other little bits but I covered most of it I believe. Here are some of the new pictures as well. And again, credit goes to Gamespot.

I don't care how many street signs they have in this thign...I'm going to get lost every damn time I play it. :( Just think of how big the next one will be. They won't stop until they get an actual replication of a state from top to bottom.

I believe we're soon to find out.

There's also an article up at IGN that talks about the swimming. Pretty basic stuff: push up you stroke, using no stamina, slowly and pressing X makes you go faster. Like running but it's swimming. You can swim underwater and they spent a lot of time on the realistic nature of the water and waterlife. Weather effects the water as well so if it rains, gets really choppy, etc. You'll also be able to hijack boats from the water; moving or stationary. Good stuff so read up on it here (http://ps2.ign.com/articles/536/536831p1.html).

LOL, "Rodeo Style Since 188?"

Yeah, I saw that when I first saw it. Rockstar humor, got to love it.

[DS]

We managed to take a quick look at the Ssn Andreas map at the pause menu and, even though we can't bring you any images yet, what we can tell you is that Los Santos is in the bottom right of the map. Then to the north is a main waterway, which divides the map in half and there's another, smaller, waterway to the south east. Bearing in mind that Los Santos is as big as Vice City, we have to repeat, this game is MASSIVE.
- Games Master (September 2004)

Just a little detail on the map. OPM had an article up and they gave a little commentary on house robbing. Give it a read, you won't be disappointed.

Our hearts were beating 1 million miles an hour and we have had no understanding of house robberies what so ever. It was around 11pm and we drove into the hood silently in our bullet-riddled Greenwood. We hopped out of the car and snuck around to the front of the house. I then kicked the door open (L1) and aimed my gun around the room. No sign of anyone. I then crept down to a bedroom, to see somebody asleep. I felt sickened of what I was about to do. I pulled out a blade and silently walked up to the sleeping victim, said my part and incised into their throat...

We could now roam around the house without caution, no alarms, nor cameras -- which some houses have. The house was fairly small in diameter, but it was good enough. I was amazed that my gang was still being very cautious while I picked up a TV (L1). I carried the TV out to the car and loaded it into the car. We then hopped into the car and drove off to Downtown to the Pawn Shop. We received $600, and to us... it was the adrenaline rush that was rewarded.

bloody hell this game just gets better and better everytime they reveal a little more about it,

[el fregadero]

Once again, this game will ruin my life.

[Joker]

i swear this game is the best im, gonna get sd vsraw before this though

[The Fugitive]

Kicking doors in, slitting throats... this game gets better everyday.

I wonder, say you've used all your ammunition in your pistol, if Rockstar will allow you to pistolwhip people? I think that'll be a good idea.

[Hired Hitman]

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2004/reviews/914983_20040802_screen008.jpg

I can just see myself speeding around that highway with cop cars behind me :cool:

[The Fugitive]

Is it just me, or when you see that style of freeway, you are reminded of that episode of the Road Runner and Wild E. Coyote chasing each other on the freeway? :-\

[DS]

The cops can grab hold of your car and hang on. Much like Terminator 2.

[DS]

In the UK version of OPM they have a new article up about San Andreas. They talk about some new places in the country called "The Back O' Beyond", "Shady Creek" and "Flint County". To give you a reasonable idea of how large this game is, to cycle from Los Santos to The Back O' Beyond would take you about 40 minutes. :|

Check out the amazing detail they put into this...

This is way off topic but I figured anyone reading this would be the best people to want to know this information but they are making Scarface: The Game. It's from VU Games so don't think I meant Rockstar but they pretty much did with Vice City and III.

[Hired Hitman]

Dunkin' :D

[House of Pancakes]

Vice City IS Scarface the game.

Not nessecarily with GTA3, but GTA: VC is basically made to be as much like the movie as possible...

VC had more of the plot but 3 had definite influences on it with the soundtrack and all.

Gamespot has an update about house robberies and just like before I'll go over the major points with pictures.

You're not going to be getting money after you finish missions, because you aren't hired by anyone you're just helping friends and family pretty much. The robberies are a new form of the "R3" missions so to initiate you pretty the right analog. To do so just find the right truck and get behind the wheel with another person in the car. Press R3 and you'll switch places and be ready to go.

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2004/reviews/914983_20040813_screen002.jpg

You have to change clothes so nobody will be able to pick you out of a line up later on so you have to find some clothes like CJ has done in the above picture. Ski masks are avaible at clothing stores.

Robberies can only take place at night. Most people will be asleep so you can loot him without having to wake him but if he does just make sure he doesn't get to the phone. Also you can probably make him surrender by just pointing the gun at him...or firing. :) Others will probably put up a fight so have fun.

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2004/reviews/914983_20040813_screen003.jpg

"Rockstar recently informed us that as soon as you equip yourself with a ski mask or balaclava, you'll enter into a sneaking mode, causing you to move about more quietly than usual." There's a noise meter added as well so just walk slowly or you're going to get some friends on you.

This is just cool so I'll put it all here...
"Rockstar also informed us that San Andreas will feature some new audio technology, making for realistic contextual audio distortions. This will be apparent in such cases as when you're trying to eavesdrop on a conversation in a home you're robbing but are barely able to make out the words that are being said because of the building's solid walls. As another example, when you're in a high-speed chase in a tunnel, the action will sound even more deafening than usual."

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2004/reviews/914983_20040813_screen004.jpg
Good to see you just don't put it into some magical sack that just makes the items disappear. THE SIMS ANYONE?

Then just go pawn the stuff off. Here's a good note: there is no load times on the land but there are some brief pauses between inside and outsides of houses.

Then they go on talking about swimming, which we've covered.

:( Why can't they release this at the end of August? I can't wait any longer.

[DS]

- You can choose from gang clothes and street/casual wear.
- You will need certain clothes to complete certain missions.
- Reece's Barber Shop is available from the start of the game.
- There are various barber shops to choose from throughout San Andreas.
- You will be determined a threat to gangs depending on your hairstyle/appearance.
- Binco is the name of a cheap clothing store in The Grove.
- SubUrban is a clothing outlet in Ganton (Watts inspired, Ballas Area), which sells expensive clothes.
- ProLaps, located in Downtown Los Santos, sells very expensive, sports-style clothes, which will allow him to blend in more with the rest of the public.
- More expensive clothes will gain more respect, while Gang clothes will attract attention, from your gang, rival gangs and the police.

Oh man, I am going to jump down from each of those on a bike or monster truck or something :D

[Jonster]

Suppose I ought to make my presence felt in this thread.

I normally don't read up on pre-game hype (started with this and Smackdown 6), but it looks cool, and I'm looking forward to it.

[DS]

Reeces Salon is right next to the Tattoos place. That's a cut and a ink without having to drive around.

[Optik]

Damn this game is going to be so hot it gives me a boner just thinking about it...

[DS]

Get a tattoo on it.

Your penis that is.

Of a gun, so you can claim you're trigger happy.

[Hired Hitman]

*rim shot*

[Boondock Saint]

:drool: This game is going to be so awesome. The Rodeo Drive-type street is spot on. I was just there this summer. Niice.

I may have missed this, but anyone know if you can have a silencer on your guns, mainly if you're robbing houses? It would come in handy.

[DS]

Nothing on silencers but I wouldn't keep it against them on putting something like that in. Would be kind of cool if you didn't have silencers on your guns when robbing the neighbors could come out and look around and then run and call the cops.

[Boondock Saint]

True, but having the cops on your ass all the time can get annoying. Oh well, whatever. Bring this on.

[DS]

Yeah but if robbing houses is too easy...

Need some excitement.

[Boondock Saint]

Yeahhh.

[deathtrap]

gtagaming.com is good.

Apparently El Burro and an old female character(Misty?) are in the game. I think I heard Salvatore, but I doubt it.

The only thing I dislike is swimming. I just don't agree with the idea. Also, more boat missions which aren't checkpoint, and no checkpoint ones.

Wheres his other leg?

[Jonster]

I have one concern with this game.

Loading times are gonna be a bitch.
Well maybe just the initial one, I remember hating 3's and VC's when I had them on PS2 (have them on Xbox now, pretty quick on that).

[deathtrap]

There's no loading times during the city. So you won't get those postcards saying WElcome to... now.

[Jonster]

That's good, but the initial one will still be a bitch.

[DS]

The plane in the background is the Dodo I believe.

I don't think the loading time is going to be that big of a problem either.

No, douchebag.

I don't think they block off the islands. How can they? You can swim in this one so they'd have to keep someone from swimming as well. And nobody puts a big sign in the middle of the road, on purpose.

[Adrian]

then they just have pipes i the water

[DS]

For what?

And get your own icon, douchebag. Stop stealing other people's icons. First you had YOUR Hero's icon, and now you have Kane Knight's icon. It even SAYS "Kane Knight" across it.

What will tubes do? How would one go about explaining tubes throughout the water?

Read the last page. This is exactly what I meant by posting useless crap. DS already said that there is no word on silencers, and it was posted -today-.

[Adrian]

like on GTA III you had pipes so you couldnt go to other islands i say if you get close to the pipe you dye because they should ake the pipe poisonus

What? There was no pipes on GTA 3. The bridge was destroyed to the second island and the other bridge to the third was gaurded. What are you talking about? What is so bad about having it all unlocked? At least use a spell check or something because it seems like you're trying a bit hard at mispelling.

Why must we do this again? This is the 2nd time today we have been taken down a notch or two.

[Hired Hitman]

... I am so excited about this game, I have started playing old games so the thrill will be even better :cool:

[DS]

They're putting up a trailer later this week. :|

[DS]

Quick info on San Fierro.

Some quick points: there is said to be about 150 missions. The triads are back and they hang out around China Town. Wu Zi Mu is a leader of the Triads, who just happens to be blind.

There seems to be that they're putting in a Woodstock type festival called "Hushbury & Garcia Joint Festival" which will be populated by, get this, hippies. :) Not only hippies, but hippies driving VW Buses. Or remakes of them at least.

Couple more screens as well. One that suggests CJ will be able to highjack the trolley carts. There could also be car customization. Instead of just being able to select the color of the car, you might be able to select spoilers, nitrous, etc. and get the blur effect when you push a button while driving.

That's pretty much it but some good stuff. Just keeps getting better and better.

[Penner]

150 missions? shit :drool:

[2 Pac]

150 missions? shit :drool:
150 missions? This game will never get boring. I bet that trailer will be great.

the reason the smackdown thread has more replies is because there is nothing new being revealed about the gta game

Most of those pictures have been posted and the last one isn't even from SA. It's a mod for Vice City. Notice the save point in the back. It's in the car shop.

[DS]

The Trailer is up tomorrow. :) Going to watch it over and over. This will also give us a word on a song in the game. The Vice City trailer had some songs from the game in it so this is going to be some good stuff. It will probably be one of the ones I've already confirmed but even then.

[el fregadero]

What trailer? :|

[DS]

The official San Andreas website is just updated as I am posting this. They have the trailer up and a map of Los Santos. Hanky Panky Point. Anyways, they have street sounds up so you can get a feel of the game. Good stuff.

[DS]

Also the map has movies of a lot of places.

Any confirmation about playing sports on this game? Like Football, I know basketballs in, tennis, and other sports.

[DS]

Basketball and pool.

[Mordecai1]

Do you think you can play for money?

[Quick1]

I've been to every bathroom in the city [/gang member]

[Hired Hitman]

Whooo and the casino hasn't even been shown :love:

[Mordecai1]

I bet you can rob the casino. Big bucks :D .

[DS]

If you try and rob the other casinos there is going to be no way you're going to get out. That's probably why you get your own and can make an income off that.

[el fregadero]

Trying will still be fun.

[Hollywood Red]

Regarding the 150 missions in San Fierro, I think that was read wrong... I think they meant it'd take up a good chunk of the game's 150 missions... read the article awhile, don't remember it word for word, but that was my interpretation.

[el fregadero]

http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/screens/rodeo_victim.jpg

Looking smooth. :cool:

Ign has an uncut GTA San Andreas video.

So does the official site. And yeah, its 150 missions in the game.

If you look in the bottom right corner you see shirts on a rack.I'm sure there Dundee United FC shirts (or similiar).I have always found very small refrences to Dundee (where the creator was born) in GTA.
E.G. GTA2 had "The Loonies" who came from Sunny Side.Sunny Side is a mental hospital just outside Dundee.Another is GTA 3 with Wave 103.Dundee has Wave 102 and in GTA 3 theres a poster in the airport saying "Visit the City of Discovery" thats Dundees nickname.Theres more but I cant think right now.

[Hired Hitman]

interesting, it would be good to buy a shirt like that :D

[The Cerebral Assassin]

DAMN!

This game is shaping up to be the greatest free-range mayhem game yet!

[Quick1]

Notice how some pictures change from night and day? (on the web site)

[Mordecai1]

Can you steal a treadmill and take it to your house an work out on it? Or buy a workout center?

[DS]

Where's the DS lgo?:(
http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/screens/rodeo_didiersachs.jpg

And no, you can't steal a treadmill. There is no point to having it in your home. If you're going to drive to a place to workout anyway, just drive to the gym where all the stuff is.

[deathtrap]

[el fregadero]

www.gtagaming.com

The Bay Bridge is known as the Garden Bridge in San Fierro.
Three new missions are discussed. We'll have them on the Missions page soon.
Four Radio Stations are confirmed. Flash FM, SF-UR, Hit Radio and K-Jah West FM

Car modification is definitely in, with plenty of parts available to buy at the Transfender Garage:
Exhausts
Front & Rear Bumpers
Wings
Wheels
Roof
Spoiler
Prices for each part vary, but expect to pay $970 for a standard front bumper upgrade
Holding the X and Circle buttons will activate the nitro, the only car customisation option which affects performance

A visit to the Cobra Martial Arts Dojo will provide CJ with the ability to learn new martial arts moves. One word of caution, learning such moves, like the Drop Heel Kick, will overwrite any moves learned at other gyms.
Creating a combination of techniques like martial arts and streetfighting will be key to success in combat.

Cesar will appear in San Fierro, and seems to be friendly with CJ. Expect to be stealing cars from places like Otto's Autos with Cesar.

[el fregadero]

...K-Jah West FM...

:love: :love: :love:

[Y2Ant]

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Hired Hitman]

OMFG, Car modification & Martial Arts :drool:

[DS]

In the same magazine they talk about your cars disappearing. It won't happen. Instead, police could come by and impound your car, in which you could go to the yard and steal it back if you'd like. That means if you spent 30 minutes customizing your car (don't know why) then you could just go get it back instead of having to worry about it being gone. As well as that, there are also tow trucks that will come pick it up and which you could also hijack and tow someone elses car as well. If they like it or not.

[Hired Hitman]

That would be cool if you could BUY a car that is yours :D

[Mordecai1]

Will it be easier to steal parked cars. Or will they be locked and you would need a hair pin or something. And would you need keys to start your car?

[DS]

I don't know if they lock more parked cars but you won't need a hair pin or a key. That's not GTA style. You leave the keys in the car.

[Mordecai1]

Okay. I hope there are people that car jack Carl. It would be fun.

[DS]

You mean just like in 3 and Vice City? Yes, that would be fun.

[Drakul]

GTA2 had car jackers.The guys in lime green.

[Mordecai1]

I think that they should have people to jack Carl with guns. And heart shots should be effected.

[DS]

What are you talking about? They had jackers with guns in both 3D games. And on top of that head shots have always been more effectful. Even more in this one with the new aiming system.

[Mordecai1]

I mean more aggresive car jacks. Not just shoving Carl out of the car. And with pistols I would like to shot someone from far distance and if I shoot them in the heart and they die.

[Hired Hitman]

realistic shooting would be good, say if you get shot in the leg you run with a limp or what have you :D

Pretty funny quotes there. Going to start having to say some.

The good doctor has revived the patient!

[el fregadero]

I don't know what a "teaser site" is, so I fail to see what that has to do with GTA.

[DS]

Oh, a teaser site is a site that promotes something. In this case, San Andreas. It's not suppose to give you new information or anything like that just gives you an idea of what it would be like living there. So pretty much they are making sites to give you an idea how the people and live in San Andreas feels. Obviously there are cults in the area along with a lot of crappy rappers. Sorry. :(

I've alreadly paid my $99.95 on this game... strange, EB didn't give me shit for preordering it.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

$99.95

:eek:

[The Fugitive]

Um... Aussie here. Sorry, hope that clears up any confusion.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Um... Aussie here. Sorry, hope that clears up any confusion.
I didn't think about that until after I posted, then it dawned on me you were an aussie. Sorry :$

[Hired Hitman]

still 100 is fucked up, I only paid 89.99 ... that is before shipping, but that is saving 10 dollars.

[The Fugitive]

HBK2K: No worries.

Double H: 10 dollars is 10 dollars. If I can find it for a cheaper price, I'll ask them to match it.

[Mordecai1]

What it only cost 50$ dollars here in the U.S.A?

[Hired Hitman]

Yeah i know, it should be 70-80 here in australia, but they're keeping their prises from when our dollar sucked :mad:

[Hired Hitman]

50.00 USD
United States Dollars = 71.1000 AUD
Australia Dollars

that is from http://www.xe.com/ucc/

[deathtrap]

£40 here

[Hired Hitman]

it should only be £29, they're ripping you off DT!

[TheNamelessOne]

You can get San Andreas from Gameplay.com for £30.

If you pay for first class delivery you might get the game the day before it is released.

[Mordecai1]

I preordered it. But not first class.

[DS]

Here at EB they have a thing where you can trade in some games and get the game for like $30. Pretty nice.

[Mordecai1]

I have done that at my Electronics Botique. It is a nice deal. But when I traded Vice City in. Two years after it came out. I got 17$ fucking dollars!! :rant: :mad: .

[DS]

You should have saved it. You can trade it in towards San Andreas and get another big discount. I love Vice City though so I wouldn't turn it in personally but it's a great deal.

[Mordecai1]

I loved it too. I just don't like holding on to games I beat already. Itt is a personal thing.

[Hired Hitman]

then you should just hire the games ;)

it would cost me $4 to hire a new release game for a night, If i can beat it in 7 days it will on;y cost $28 ... but hey, that's just what it would cost me.

[Mordecai1]

I am going to do that sometime. :y: thanks.

[Tazz Dan]

Hey, not sure if this has been posted, but I thought I'd share it:


GTA:SA Censorship Attack in Australia

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports that the Australian version on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be an edited version release.With new sub missions such as Home Invasion & Drug Use cut from the Aussie release.With other versions edited (GTA3 & GTA Vice City) the Australian censors are going to check other features that are not suited for Australian gaming standards.

This sucks. Anyone know a site where I can get it from England or somewhere?

[Hired Hitman]

FUCK NO

that better be 100% bullshit

It's a CRIME video Game, What is the difference between stealing a car and stealing things from homes, I swear to god if they censor it I will hunt them down and show them a real CRIME

[#BROKEN Hasney]

http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10223&mid=323143

It'll cost you $94.70 Australian though (shipped)

[Hired Hitman]

what about the shipping?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

what about the shipping?
Yeah, thats the full price including delivery

[Hired Hitman]

okay, if the Australian Version will be edited I will buy it from that site, BUT only if it is edited. I want a link to the site or soemthing where you got that from Tazz dan.

[Savio]

Not its not BS its a fact.

[Tazz Dan]

okay, if the Australian Version will be edited I will buy it from that site, BUT only if it is edited. I want a link to the site or soemthing where you got that from Tazz dan.


I actually only read that at dstore.com.au when I went to pre-order it, but I'd heard it elswhere as well. Just didn't want to believe it.

Hey, I hope it's not true as well, I want this game to be right. :'(

[Hired Hitman]

oh forget it, it is only a few dollars more and I'm guaranteed a full game.

[Hired Hitman]

There bought from the UK, stupid Australian Censors. This wouldn't happen and I would have kept the money in the Country if you guys didn't have your heads so far up your asses.

[The Fugitive]

I feel insulted. Do the OFLC really think that if we start playing these sort of games, that we're going to walk out the streets with the sole intent to roll some old lady, take her pension money and then crack her skull open with a bat?

I hate to break it to you, OFLC, but people have been doing that long before any video games were ever released. And by doing this, you're just robbing Australia's gaming industry by censoring these games to the shitter and making other countries such as the UK richer.

Fuck it, sometimes I wish I was in Sweden, at least there are more liberal.

[DS]

I know there was some debate about this in Vice City but there are dogs in San Andreas. I don't know what the big deal about having animals in there is seeing as how it's been done before (Metal Gear Solid) but people will probably cause an uproar (PETA) because it's in a GTA game.

[Hired Hitman]

all they have to say is

"Animals are to be observed, if a player decided to attack the animal, that is their own choice, we here at rockstar believe that the player should have every choice what to do in the game"

SWISH

[Hired Hitman]

it is fun to see animals wonder around because we see dogs in real life :o

[DS]

Scratch that, dogs aren't confirmed just yet. There was speculation from the video and then people jumped on a new article and made it to what it wasn't. No dogs just yet...but I hope they put them in there. Pandora Tomorrow had them so I don't see what the big deal is.

[Hired Hitman]

the 'dog' is from the beach party right? (I know it is) I heard about that, they say it's either a dog or a person laying down :D
