I'm a pretty big fan of the whole GTA series and I am totally stoked for this game to come out.
While VC was pretty much GTA3 in the 80s I thought they made some pretty good improvements. The 80s theme rocked, too. I will however have to wait for this game to hit the PC as I do not have a PS2. I believe Rockstar has a contract with Sony to produce the GTA series (I think GTA3, VC, and SA) to the PS2 first. Then after a few months they are allowed to release it elsewhere. This allows crazy people wanting the game now to buy it for the PS2, or buy a PS2 so they can buy the game. As far as multiplayer, they did have this in GTA2. It was freakin' incredible. The bandwidth needed was insane though. We used to play on a LAN and it was pretty horrible. You had to communicate the exact location of every car, weapon, ped, and player. For the cars, you would have to know its direction, velocity, damage, etc. When you take the size of the citys in the more recent games this adds up to way too much data. They would have to limit the size of the city, or take out certain elements of the game to make it run at an acceptable speed. There is a group who made modifications to GTA3, and VC (PC Versions) that allow you to play multiplayer. There are no NPC cars or anything though. Works alright, but just not the same as the GTA2 multiplayer. It's called MTA. A quick Google search should come up with it. |

-Better looking models ex. pedestrians
-Buildings that you can enter -Cops on motorcycles a.la Eric Estrada from CHIPS -Online play, where you form a gang, and have turf wars, shootouts, and fight over drugs, money, women and other gang related squabbles. -Downloadable content ie. cars, models, skins, levels, bug fixes..not that I'm hoping for bugs Last edited by zero2; 06-27-2004 at 06:49 PM.. |

There's enough. If you played GTA 1 or 2 you could tell when you were going to drive off something.

Time for an update from our friends at IGN. There's some really good stuff in there.

One detail which I'd like to see that I don't think has been mentioned is better physics when you hit pedestrians.
I think the technical term is "ragdoll physics"; a sense that the object you just hit (and is now grotesquely pinwheeling through the air) was indeed a 130 pound human body, rather than some barely noticed graphic element. I think this one thing would make a big difference. |

At least they put thought into the weight issue. Your character's strength, speed, and agility is strongly tied to the character's physique. I'd be disappointed if it was just a gimmick. |

Aight guys, I know we've hit on the topic of food for this game several times now, but I'd like to go ahead and post a "definitive" answer to the "fatass issue." From IGN:

Gamespot has a 6 page article about a lot of the things that will be featured in San Andreas, the game looks dope as hell. This is one game I'm really looking forward to.

I was reading the Gamespot forums, and even though everybody that posts there are complete fucking retards, they got me worried with their talk about older versions of the PS2 not being able to play the dual-layered disk that GTA:SA is supposed to come on.
Can anybody shed light on this subject?

Hmm, I'm not really sure about the different "versions" of PS2, and their capabilities (regarding dual layer discs), but if that were the case, I'm sure Rockstar would consider releasing a non-dual layer disc version, like a 2-disc version. Would be sensible to me.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
If you haven't beaten Vice City, please do not read this post. 1) DIRECT DEPOSIT. You shouldn't have to go collect your money from your assets. They should direct deposit into your account. 2) NO BOSSES. People like Lance Vance Dance and Sonny Forrelli took too long to kill. They're human just like everyone else in the game that is not you. They should go down w/ one shotgun hit. 3) MORE EFFICIENT WEAPONS. The range of sniper rifles should be extended. Also, smg's like uzi's and mp5's shouldn't take a million shots to kill one person. They are still bullets afterall, rapid fire or no rapid fire. 4) MORE EFFICIENT BREAKS. The breaks should be available to make turning easier while speeding, not just to slow the car down to a stop. 5) PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENTS. In Vice City, you start off as an ex con just out of prison. Pedestrians, should treat you like any average Joe Shmoe. But when you take over an entire city, they should move out of your way when you're walking down the street, or maybe even have someone take your picture. 6) PROPERTY ENHANCEMENTS. All home-properties should not only have a save point and maybe a garage, but should also be accessible from the inside. A new wardrobe for each estate would be nice, too, as not all mob bosses walk around in hawaiian shirts. You should also be able to take hookers with you into your estates. 7) GANG ENHANCEMENTS. Gangs should have more of a purpose than just to walk around and shoot at your gang. You should be able to ally with or go to war with different gangs, and it should show in the gameplay. Rival gangs should try to kill you when they see you, while allied gangs should help you whenever you're being chased by other gangs or the police. Also, the police should be considered a gang, and if you're allied with them (would be a special alliance that you get w/in a storyline), they shouldn't bug you if you commit a few crimes here and there. 8) POLICE ENHANCEMENTS. Just because you have a star shouldn't mean all police know where you are and that you are a criminal. Stars should be officer-specific, and once you kill that officer, the star should go away, unless of course another officer sees you and radios it in, which should add on to your wanted level instead. It sucks knowing you're going to either die or get arrested just because you accidentally ran over a cop. 9) ABOLISH TIME LIMITS. Time limits just make the game more difficult than it should be. 10) CHEAT ENHANCEMENTS. A few cheats that were noticeably missing are infinite health and infinite ammo. Sure, cheats take away from the chutzpah of the game, but some people just like to run around and cause havoc without worrying about dying or whatnot.

I'm a huge fan of the good GTA games (GTA & GTA2), GTA3 was pretty good, albeit extremely glitchy and buggy, GTA:VC was terrible in terms of glitches, Rockstar just rushed the hell out of it. However, if Rockstar actually takes the time to put a little effort and polish on this game, it might actually be good. If so, I'll wait for the inevitable (and far superior) Xbox version.

I enjoy stopping by the San Andreas forums at Gamespot. Not for new information, but to see what new topics those complete retards have come up with. I found these forum titles within 5 pages. I didn't edit any of them.
"(On Topic) Do you think Tommy Vercetti is dead when San Andreas takes place?" "When does an exsisting trailer will be held?" "Where there any ''Sublime'' songs in the early 90's?" "Body piercings. Thats waht we need" "I bet you 5 dollar that sunglasses will be in the game." "Do you think that we will learn about how CJ got his skills?" "how many gin n juice versions are there gonan b?!?!?" "2 Pac Or Not 2 Pac, That Is The Question!" "DO u really think they will DROP osmething at the end just becuase its to much" "Oh man, I can't wait to throw someone off the golden gate." "Is cars more important in this game?? Eveyone read!!!!" "For all of you who want lightsabers in the game ( I HAVE PROOF)"
