Sorry Sorry!
Here i am double posting again!
Featuring three new screenshots of San Fierro, the November issue of Edge Magazine sports a two-page preview on the new Grand Theft Auto. Some of the information seems a bit shaky, but here's a run-down of the preview:
"Beneath the water's surface lie dolphins, turtles, schools of fish and more. Lead character CJ can now swim, although getting hold of a boat is a more sensible option when it comes to getting around."- Edge Magazine, November 2004
In addition to the marine wildlife referred to in the quote above, flocks of birds will be seen in San Andreas.
The tyres of the BMX bike "make a humming sound as they coast over the tarmac."
Rough weather includes combinations of thunder and lightning.
As seen in a video on the official site, clouds are no longer textures, but real objects to fly through.
Your quest for hidden packages and bonus powerups will have you climbing on cars and ledges to get to otherwise inaccessible areas.
The new screenshots show a new angle of the Gant bridge, CJ driving a motorbike under the Gant bridge with the Kincaid railway bridge in the background, and a hippy in front of his "Love Van" with a rainbow in the background.
Also the October issue of Gamepro Netherlands has a rather extensive San Andreas preview. Here's a look over the new points:
In one of the early missions CJ will be given the choice to wear the orange clothes of his gang. Doing this will earn you respect but you will be a marked man in enemy turf. Playing the safe way and wearing casual clothes won't get you much respect.
-When you buy new clothes, your old ones will automatically be saved in your safehouse.
-CJ will be customisable with beards and moustaches.
-A good selection of houses in the cities and towns will be enterable (and robbable).
-To start a robbery mission you will have to enter a furniture van and press R3.
-For a successful robbery you need to outfit yourself with ski goggles (enabling you to sneak around), and a furniture van where to load everything you are stealing.
-During a robbery you will be presented with individual items to carry out of the house into your van, one by one. When you're done, drive on to a courier who who you will sell the stolen merchandise to.
-CJ will be able to climb around obstacles and fences in the same manner as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. He will be able to hang onto ridges and pull himself up.
-If you get too heavy training for muscle, you will run slower.
Experience with weapons will increase your accuracy with every weapon. (Not only the deagle as we've heard before)
-Every gang will have a favourite car that you will see them driving around in.
), and some of you have already said that they think that the 2 maps (VC/SA overlap) was not to scale. But I think the easiest way to give you some idea of woudl be to compare the airport runways. And in the picture the SA runways are much smaller that the VC ones.
