👍 yeti

The anticipation for GTA:SA is so think I can taste it in the air.....it's almost in our hands guys.....wow has time flown...I remember the days when everyone thought the next GTA was going to be 1970's Las Vegas. Now we've got parachutes, car upgrades, a huge mounatin....etc. Wow so many great memories. I can just imagine the huge decrease in attendance consistency here. Everyone will drop by once in a while to drop comments and other things but every other second will be spent in San Andreas. But I bet Jimmy Enslashay will be here way more than all of us ;)

Just a little question.....when you first get a moment of freedom in GTA:SA
(between missions), what's the first thing you'll do? Me, I'm going to hunt down that car that looks like the RX7 ( XR7 :lol: ) and mod it. :D
 
sorry for the double post, but I was just wondering....in the radio picture it says something about

"At least they got rid of that dick head on the radio"

I'm guessing Lazlow's gone? But then again Lazlow's been here forever so he'll probably have a different thing going on.
 
Man I'm gonna hunt down that RX-7 look alike and mod it too, I'd also like to see if the police cars are modifiable.
 
I've totally lost track of release dates? Last time I remember SA was coming out in October?
 
Jimmy Enslashay
Nice job yeti.

Also, Slick6 isn't a noob. He's here plenty. We all make mistakes. 👍
Yes that is correct bet if you and Blake read what i posted you'll see that i said noob to this forum not noob to GTP.
 
First thing I'll do when I get the chance is steal a touring bike and go sightseeing in the countryside!

Oh yeah, Lazlow has not been confirmed as being in or out of SA as of right now, but the general consensus amongst most people is that he will return as a DJ on the talk station.

I hope so! "Ive got my fingers crossed!" he he

VRock-(SA station)-Chatterbox.

Its cool how characters from previous games make their marque.
 
I will take that killing tractor (love lawn mowing :p) and go on the street.
Or maybe take a BMX and go to that Montain. (The name?)
 
Interesting little snippet of news I just found on GTASanAndreas.net, the first review of the game.

The official Playstation 2 Magazine (US) got the first review, and it scored a perfect 5/5. But what's more interesting to me is the list of voice actors confirmed by the article! Read this list:

* Samuel L. Jackson (Presumably, Frank Tenpenny)
* David Cross
* Ice T (Without a doubt, Maddog)
* Charlie Murphy (Without a doubt, Jizzy)
* James Woods
* Chris Penn
* Peter Fonda
* Axel Rose (Classic Rock DJ)
* Chuck D (Old School Rap DJ)

:eek: Axel Rose! It's sweet to see a real rock star as a Classic Rock DJ! Lots of big names there too!

*edit* Working on seeing if any scans are available

*edit#2* Looks like no scans are available at the moment, so stay tuned in the following days as I'm sure scans will pop up sooner or later. Hopefully before the 26th...
 
Holy crap. The voice list is AMAZING. Samuel L. Jackson? Axl Rose? Ice T? Chris Penn? Peter Fonda? James Woods?

Holy crap. GREAT find Ev0.

I meant he's not a noob to this forum. Slick6 constantly browses the forum. He just doesn't post all that often. 👍

Also, great job on the Flash Videos, Slick6.
------------------------------

Q&A: Rockstar vs Zidane (GTAGaming.com):
1. "What are some major improvements in the pedestrian/police AI?" - Casey "Zidane" Mongillo / www.gtagaming.com
R*: Yes. Enemies in general will now do a much better job of taking cover and attempting to flank CJ. Pedestrians are now frightened of things they should be frightened of (like when a large military vehicle appears in a residential area), they hold hands, they have their own daily lives and destinations.


2. "Have the helicopter and plane height limits been increased?" - Gta-Expert / www.gtagaming.com
R*: Massively increased. Mount Chiliad is over half a mile tall, and you can fly well above its height.


3. What methods of air transportation can we expect? – JulioCaesar / PlanetGrandTheftAuto
R*: All kinds, most things you see in the air in the real world you'll see in San Andreas.


4. In several screenshots and the first trailer for San Andreas, Carl was playing basketball and pool. Are these cut scenes or can you play them and also what other mini-games are there? - Gangstaman590 / PlanetGrandTheftAuto
R*: The one of Smoke and Sweet playing basketball was a cutscene. The pool shot is CJ actually playing pool. There are too many mini-games to list here, rest assured there will be tons of fun stuff to do!


5. Will police chase other criminals besides Carl Johnson? For example, will you see a car chase go by with police going after someone? Or if not that, if someone shoots at Carl and a cop sees it, will the cop chase after him or you? - Arjuna Bosch / PlanetGrandTheftAuto
R*: Yes to both questions. San Andreas is a dangerous place, and you're not the only criminal about!


6. "In Vice City, driving a car up onto the packer and then driving the packer results in the car sliding off. Have the physics been changed so that trucks and trailers can carry cars properly? - (GTA3Freak-2001) / GTA Network / GTAScraper
R*: We have a surprise in store for you on this one.


7. Will the gameplay of Las Venturas include gambling, if so, what options are open to us? - (zeppelincheetah) / GTA Network / GTAScraper
R*: Yes on gambling (a number of the mini-games we mentioned). Details on this will be released soon, but I can reveal that there will be a number of gambling types you can choose from.

8. Will we be able to find any sub-plots in the deserts/woods or just random rampages? - (smithstock) / GTA Network / GTAScraper
R*: There are always subplots in GTA games! There will be missions in the countryside and desert along those lines.


9. What will be blocking us from entering the other cities/locations? - (Dead at 4 PM) / GTA Network / GTAScraper
R*: There is some story wrapped up in this, but to answer your question, a 4 star wanted level any time you leave the areas you've opened. And this particular wanted level you cannot shed with things like Pay & Spray or Police Bribes. This means that you can explore areas of the state you haven't opened, but only with a small army of police officers hunting you down!


10. How do you choose actors to voice the characters? Is it a long process, or do you just pick people with well-known names? - SwissMiss33 / GTA Warehouse
R*: It's a long process, we choose actors who will give us the performance we're looking for. Since we don't promote our games based off the voice actors in it, the name recognition isn't important to us.


11. What role have trolleys (trams)? Can we use others public service vehicles like airplanes and boats? - (lefantome) / GTAnetwork.it
R*: They function as public transport, which CJ can use. The train is the other public service you can ride around the state.


12. Will there be animals in San Andreas like dogs, pigs and cows? What kind of interaction we have with them and can they react if scared? - (Thomasbz & El Presy & God_of_GTA) / GTAnetwork.it
R*: No, another funny rumor, that one started by an audio clip on the website that mentioned a K-9 unit. We don't particularly like the idea of children or small fuzzy animals in our games.


13. Can we buy vehicles too or we have just to steal them? - (MxM) / GTAnetwork.it
R*: You can buy vehicles, but not every one in the game. There will be a couple dealers who will sell some of the higher-end vehicles to you, but only after you've done a bit of work for them.


14. We must spend with a game about 150 hours to complete San Andreas. Is this number of hours to complete main story or 100% of the game? - (Mastah) / GTA.pl
R*: That number is really general. We don't like giving a number like that out, because invariably questions like these come up, but people insist on putting a number on the games. Obviously there are very different ways of playing Grand Theft Auto. Some players just like to "play-through", finishing the main storyline or getting to 100% as fast as they can. Other people go at the main storyline at a more leisurely pace. And some people never even really play the story at all, they might just download cheats and sandbox around the map. Our guess of 150 hours is the amount of time we think it would take someone to hit 100% who wasn't rushing through the game as quickly as possible with a strategy guide.


15. In which way we will choose the second gun? From a menu; using other keys, etc.? - (Mastah) / GTA.pl
R*: If you're referring to holding dual-weapons, the second weapon is always the same as the primary so there is no selection process. Once your skill level with a weapon is high enough, holding 2 becomes possible, and they're linked by a single firing button (though you must find a second gun!). If your question is more general, then hopefully this answers it: gun selection works exactly like it did in Vice. You can carry one weapon of each type at a time. If you want to replace your current weapon with another of the same type, hold down L1 while standing over it. Your old weapon will be permanently discarded. Cycle though your available weapons with L2 and R2. Circle to fire!


16. When R* make their vector images of GTA characters and stuff, do they start with an actual screenshot or photo or just start drawing it from scratch? - Tibor
Vehicles are often created from renders or screenshots, and characters are most often done off of photographs or concept sketches. You'll be interested to note though, Tibor, that the images are drawn by hand with pencil and ink. They're then scanned and colored in Adobe Photoshop. Once finished, the images are hand-traced in Adobe Illustrator, a labor-intensive process, but the results are worth it!


17. Is it easy to get rich or will have to battle your way trough the game? - (Christoph Decker) / gtareactor.de
R*: If you focus on earning money, you will find ways to add to your roll even early on. As usual with Grand Theft Auto, how you spend your time is up to you!


18. When did you start working on SA? Did you work on it simultaneously with Vice City? - Alexander Grenberg / GTAsajten
R*: We started work right as Vice City was finishing up.


19. There were 97 vehicles in gta vice city, how many are there going to be in gta san andreas? - (Martin Glomb) / www.gta-action.com
R*: San Andreas will have over double the number of vehicles in Vice City.

------------------

We finally have confirmation on how the cities will be "blocked off". I will still have a short explore, but seeing that the SWAT will be on you, I won't be there for too long. And you can't lose them either. Very nicely done by Rockstar in my opinion. It's giving us more options, which they said they would.

Now we finally know there are no children or animals (other than the obvious birds). And you can now buy (selected) cars! Wow.

I leave the best to last. San Andreas will have DOUBLE the number of vehicles that Vice City did!!

I'm amazed.
 
Good info Jimmy! When I get the game, I think I'll drive around and get to see the city a bit, then find a heli and take it to the locked areas to have a peak. ;)
 
6. "In Vice City, driving a car up onto the packer and then driving the packer results in the car sliding off. Have the physics been changed so that trucks and trailers can carry cars properly? - (GTA3Freak-2001) / GTA Network / GTAScraper
R*: We have a surprise in store for you on this one.

-----------------------------

What do PD and R8 have in common?
They're both answering my prayers.

I wonder if you get on a train, will the police be able to catch you unlike in GTA3 and VC?

I hope if you park a car in your driveway, it won't dissappear. :ouch:

Vice City didn't have trains. I don't think they will be able to. Plus, in the movies, when a criminal gets on a train, he usually rides into the sunset. :lol:

Also, I don't know about the Packer surprise. Possibly, you can lock your cars onto it, or a similar truck, like one of those Trucks that haul like 6 cars on a trailer. Maybe.

Well, I don't know how valid this information is, because I heard it a fairly long time ago, but I believe it was mentioned somewhere (don't recall where) that if you leave a car near one of your save points, it will stay there. So, you may park a car on your median strip, and it will stay there maybe. Now, what I want to also know with this question, is when you park you car in a Parking Lot (like where a Valet parks it), will that stay there, or just disappear?

I really hope that is a yes. In VC I was putting all types of sports cars on there(I could only fit 2), but I quickly found out that the cars just rolled off the ramp and I was like f00k that's not cool.:(

3. What methods of air transportation can we expect? – JulioCaesar / PlanetGrandTheftAuto
R*: All kinds, most things you see in the air in the real world you'll see in San Andreas.

I really, extremely hope that that air transportation includes jumbo jets like Boeing 747s. Like I was in VC I would most likely fly properly but crash to see what the physics are like.:D A private jet would be awesome too.:sly:

Either it will disappear or you would be the unlucky one that the valet guys steal it.:p
 
Lol. I wonder if they steal it? I doubt that highly, but it would be hilarious.

The Valet Missions reminds me (for some reason) or the movie Training Day, where he goes "The Black Monte Carlo...the one with the back window shot out." :lol: I'll be using that line when I'm playing it for sure.
 
I've been told by my mom i'm not going to get it because "Christmas is coming" in my mind i'm like '**** mom it's more than 2months away.' So i'm going to convince my dad possibly to stop by the bank so I can procure some money and stop by at best buy and buy it. I hope. I will be so damn mad if I am told to wait untill December 25th when the damn game is right there and i've got the money!!!:(
 
Ahh man, that's gotta suck. I feel for ya. Just try your hardest. Try borrowing $20 or $30 here and there off friends, or something. Ask your parents for money to buy "lunch at school", but instead secretly make your lunch and keep the money.
 
Our school you must make your own lunch or you get "hot lunch", the school buys either: pasta, pizza, chicken sandwich, cheeseburger. So scratch that.
 
i think with the voice thing, i personally despise ice-t and think ice cube should've replaced him, after all ice cube was in "BOYZ N THA HOOD". Also not to sure about Samuel L. Jackson, he would have to make his voice sound rough n talk in serious slang to make him sound really "gangsta". also ive been thinking and i really, really really want lowrider bycycles in this game, has anyone else thaught of this.
 
OK, so please confirm this, Will the mixture of music type? Instead of all black? No offense.

BTW,
watching Trailer 2 again on Comedy Central.
 
also a song i badly want in this game is Radar Love by golden earing, its the altimate driving song, for those who know of this song they will understand, those who dont download it. just picture driving with this songplaying in a old convertable mustang on a country road with, aviator glasses on, and leather driving gloves. that would rock so much.
 
RUMOR!

Comedy Central is been rumored to hold a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas deal during a South Park. Due to the fact of Comedy Central's famous and naught show, South Park, they've decided to show special parts of San Andreas.

This has not been confirmed and has been told as a rumor.
I hope it's true, but since its nothing but a big rumor, it's probably something someone made up to gain hype. 1 weekend and a school day. Then its all mine. HAHAHA!
