Nah, I'm quite happy to only get some small bits of info now. I trust RockStar know what they're doing with info releases, so I'll leave it up to them. I don't mind either way really, I just want this damn game already.
 
Yes, the suspense has us all waiting at the edge of our seats.

I've been hearing from my sources that the website is going to be updated with San Fierro stuff "soon"... However that soon started last thursday and it still hasn't happened...

I strongly suspect that this weekend will bring something... especially as it's the TGS and R* will probably want to divert attention away like they did with E3...

I thank you.

The new site update has so much stuff in...

The export/import crane is back... and I'm pretty sure you actually do the driving of it. (Not the red spots underneath the crane and on the boat.)...

The hunter is back and looking meaner...

About 3 more planes seen... One that looks like a P51 Mustang... the Crop duster... a Lear Jet...

Some pictures of the new Car-Jacking methods...

The garage now has prices outside that aren't part of the main texture... this says to me that they will change and that we will need to refuel cars!!

Car Valeting... looks like it will be another R3 type of mission... you get more time for speed of parking and lack of damage whilst parking!!

New Info and Screens:

You can control trams by yourself.
You can adjust the camera in different directions for example to prevent a crash during a chase.
Tuning with your car will have no effect, only nitro will fasten up your car.
If you gain enough experience you can control a tow truck. With this you can lift up cars and move them.
While diving you can have a nice view on the fish. The time you can stay under water will be notified with a blue stamina meter.
Underwater you can only use a knife.
Rockstar isn't giving any information away about the animals, but in the water they saw some dolphins between the fishes.
Sometimes a plane just crashes out of nowhere, accidents happen.
You must earn some experience before you can play different types of games in Casino's.
At the end of the game you would have made a small army of gangs.

Return of Some Lesser-Knowns:

When Rockstar revealed yet more character artwork on Saturday with the launch of the San Fierro section on the site, it became clear that two of Vice City's lesser known characters are to return. Jethro (voiced by John Zurhellen) and Dwayne (Navid Khonsari), worked at Vice City's boatyard, and appear to play a similar role in San Andreas. The scale of their part remains unknown, but voice actors are likely to return.

Below is the Map of Los Santos and San Fierro...Las Venturas was cut out.

"The last piece of the map will be coming in the last weeks before SA hits the store."

For all of the new screens and improved-quality screens go here.
 
Holy crap! That Los santos, is bigge than Vice city, I can't imagine how much bigger this thing will get.
 
I notice the shaded areas on the map....would that be water? If so I'm a bit dissapointed in that its just islands but oh well beggers cant be choosers.....

Massive size improvements like this is why I never believed PD when they said GT3 nearly maxed out the PS2.

On topic:
Anyway, back to topic, how do you reckon R* will condone us just to one town before we complete more missions like the other GTA's have done?
 
Heh, I used to get lost all the time in Vice City. So maybe I'll eventually get used to it like Vice city.

If you look closely on the map there are some "fallen trees" across roads this has been discussed as the most likely way.
Oh yeah and cheers to jimmy for the non flash map excellent dude!.
 
Some new info has emerged about a new bridge.
Thanks to GTAgaming.

Just a small update this time. We've managed to find out a few minor tidbits that sprung from this weekend's site update over at the official San Andreas site.




Firstly, and probably most interestingly, is the Kincaid Bridge, shown above in a tiny screenshot, which is all Rockstar have revealed of it so far. The real version is a fantastic feat of engineering, named the Forth Rail Bridge, which spans the River Forth, between Edinburgh and Fife, in Scotland, close to Rockstar North's offices. Its purpose? Rail travel! Hop on one of San Fierro's dusty trains and take it right across into the unknown that is the North East of the San Andreas gameplay area, which includes Las Venturas and the wide open desert which we know nothing about).

Secondly, one of San Fierro's hippy district's posters shows the catchphrase Brown Streak Railroad will be using to get people on their trains and across the Kincaid Bridge. "Go For The Brown" is slipped out in one of the videos tucked in the official site. This screenshot shows the billboard well.

Finally, we've got a very revealing screenshot also from the Camper video on the official site. In San Andreas, Juank Air will be "Flying with the personal touch". (You thought the name was dirty!)

you can see this bridge in the screenshot below.

RX7!! RX7!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY o happy day o happy day I was flippin through the new screenshots and saw a car almost identical to an RX7!!!! Man I can't wait for this game :D :D :D :D
 
ya i know i made the edit. Just go to that guys post where it showed the new shots. Near the bottom theres a shot of a silver car at a gas station. RX7!!! :)
 
Ha! Your right! It looks like a more bloated Rx-7 though. I wonder What they'll call it, the XR-7?:sly:
 
this game needs music wise tupac amaru shakur, snoop doggy dog, N.W.A, notorious B.I.G, 213, easy E who one of the characters looks almost exactly like him, basicly rap wise music from death row records... and bad boy entertainment,lol my kind of music old school even though i was just born when they first got on the radio.
 
I can tow cars now? Great! I wonder if they'll have those tow trucks were the car is pulled on the bed, and then the bed flips up. You see I got sick of my car falling off. What I would love to do is this.

1st: Get a semi car carrier
2nd: Load it with my favorite cars
3rd: Unload them and hold my own personel car show.

Local car shows were you earn money for different places would be nice. Anyways, that's what I would love to do. I got an Infernous on a Barrack 'Ol truck in GTA 3 and VC, and had a fun time driving it around. 👍
 
Well, I guess the state of San Andreas is pretty big... i guess.... sota...
 
All of you people talking about the size. Event, you think this is PRETTY big? The other guys complaining about the size? There's still the desert and one more city to go! Las Venturas and the Desert isn't even on there yet, and I think there's still more country. I love the size. It's perfect I think. True Crime: Streets of LA was too big I think. But San Andreas is great.

McLaren F1GTR -- I think that's a great idea.

s13drifting -- There will be plenty of Rap just like that in the game. There will be more than one station with Rap I suspect, and the stations will have more music on them.

R32GTST/M -- Thanks for that info on the bridge and train. I can't wait for this train, and the tram.

Valet Missions Video:
There is a video on Rockstar's official San Andreas website regarding the Valet Missions CJ can do. I haven't watched it yet, but I will in the near future. A small picture below shows a snippet of what will happen, and a new car.

Find the video on Rockstar's Official San Andreas Website.
 
i think it would be cool if you got hired by a radio station to form a sorta regem or small terrorist like group against them n when u complete it that radio station is just fuzz on the airwaves..............lol that would rock
 
Theres also a mount chiliad video and a camper video on the official site but due to my 56k i havent viewed them yet, but if anyone can view them quickly you should give us a summary of whats in them.
 
Sorry for the double post, but ive been analysing the latest trailer and i noticed a few interesting things.

-First is the fact that rockstar maybe covering themselves buy allowing players to wear helmets on motorbikes.
-Second is another bmx style bike i havent seen before, maybe otheres have but it looks different to the classic style seen in other screens
-Third is the car im guesing is the new Cheetah.
-And last is that F40 looking car.

I would say the F40 is the new Infernus. Also, maybe you can mod your bike? :lol:

Nah, it definately is different. They're saving people complaining about there only being one type of BMX. So they probably put 1 or 2 more in.

Also, alot of people wanted helmets in the game. They're just making people's biggest wants available in this game. I don't think they're covering themselves. Plus, noone has complained about not wearing helmets. And plenty of games have Bikes yet you can't wear helmets. Rockstar are just meeting needs.

Dammit... I was gonna say that...

I hope it's gonna be called the Counthash again... cos it would be the right era for it!!

Altho I suppose it was more late 80's?!

Here are a few more pics I took from the trailer. Enjoy.
