I think they said there will be a recovery vehicle. It was mentioned a while ago, and aparently it takes some skill to hook a car with it.

Damn..He looks pretty badass with that gun, and those glasses....c'mon tuesday!
 
I don't give a flying **** what my mom says about not getting that game tuesday. I'm getting that game!!! Gosh this is almost as hyped up as GT4 but seems GT4 is lacking hype because of all of the damn delays that people just hate to deal with.:grumpy: But there is always GTA:SA that may make you forget it it's December 14th and you'll pass right by that day playing GTA:SA.:cool:
 
Quick question. As SA ever been on a delay? PSM never reported a delay. JUSt wondering, since all my wanted games are pushed back or next year.

I'm getting Area 51 for my B-day! YAY!
 
Little gutted to see a 90's LA based soundtrack not having any Red Hot Chili Peppers in it. Oh well. Scans are cool, a little over exposed though and in hindsight it's kinda ruined a few nice suprises. Those photos rock as do the Gamespot vids.

I do not think there was ever a delay for SA, if there were it would have been a delay within the month. Like if it were set to be released sometime early october it was pushed to later october, the 26th.:) But I think there has never been a delay for SA.

Wow! those screens are awesome the graphics look really well polished in these last few screens comming through, cheers GTChamp2003!.
Also did anyone notice the new Rochet launcher!, thats phat!. And the Patriot in the background!. Looks like the deserts gonna be a pretty fantastic place, plus these are the first shots of what appears to be the military base!

And i love the fact that the mini gun is back that was cool!.
 
Some info from gta-sanandreas.com:

HIGH GRADE FIREARMS

Vulcan Mini Gun - This formidable weapon is the player’s best friend. Designed to deliver massive and withering barrages of ammunition at an alarming rate of fire, this weapon is designed for total destruction of the target and anything around it. Despite its massive size and weight, the gun is portable enough to be carried—and fired—on the streets of San Andreas. Police responding to an incident where a mini-gun is in use would be quick to call in SWAT to deal with the menace. An intricate piece of machinery, its belt driven mechanics will turn the barrels even if the gun is not firing, a sound that eerily forecasts the destruction that is about to be unleashed. Hold R1 to spin up the barrel and squeeze L1 to fire.

Heat Seeking RPG - RPGs and other shoulder-fired missiles have long had a place in Grand Theft Auto. The STINGER is the next level. Lightweight and portable, this shoulder-fired guided missile system is designed to shoot down low-altitude jets, propeller-driven aircraft and helicopters. The fire-and-forget system allows the player to lock onto a heat source, usually a car or plane, fire the weapon, and begin acquiring new targets before the warhead has even destroyed the first target. To activate, bring up the targeting reticle by pressing R1. Continue holding down R1 and center the viewfinder on the target. The reticle will acquire the nearest target, and then change from green to yellow and finally to red, indicating that you have achieved target lock. You can fire the weapon at any stage of the lock-on process, but the closer to red, the more effective your strike will be. The production, research, and development of the Stinger Missile System is a secret, but intrepid pilots flying over the deserts on the outskirts of Las Venturas have a ton of stories about near misses with the Stinger.

M4 - M4-is the modified version of the M-16, the shortened stock and barrel makes it more compact while still retaining the accuracy and power of its cousin. The weapon will allow the player the pinpoint accuracy to target an opponents specific body parts or vehicle tires. One particularly satisfying feature is the ability to target gas tanks. A single well-placed round will cause any car in San Andreas to explode—aim for the gas cap to find out how decidedly badass this new feature is in action. Kneeling greatly increases the accuracy of the M4, try kneeling as often as possible when using the weapon. Even while kneeling, it is possible to roll side to side while holding R1 by pressing left or right on the left analog.

To the concern of San Andreas' police forces, the M4 is readily available at Ammu-Nations across the state.

Tec-9 - A longtime favorite of gang members on the streets of Los Santos, the Tec-9 is a relatively cheap firearm made with low-grade stamped metal. One of the more interesting new features is that the player can dual wield Tec-9s, evening up long odds in the middle of a gang fight, increasing your respect and power in the ‘hood. Once you’ve upgraded CJ’s weapon skill to the point where he can hold two weapons (Hitman skill level), all you need to do is find another weapon and he will automatically hold 2. All ammo between the guns is now shared, and reloading happens automatically. Rate of fire is effectively doubled, perfect for cases where you really want to kill someone—fast.

Desert Eagle - This handgun delivers an unparalleled degree of accuracy and power with a distinctive feel that players will pick up on immediately. Originally intended to be target/sport pistol, players will use this weapon for the immense stopping power the handgun’s .50 caliber rounds deliver to a target—stopping assailants in their tracks, usually with one well placed shot. Because of its significant recoil, it’s almost impossible to hold onto at first. Look for higher levels of skill with the weapon to reduce this effect and yield quicker reloads and accuracy. The Desert Eagle is even deadly when out of auto-lock range, as a proficient shooter can fire in free target mode and still achieve one shot kills. Hold R1 and line up the sights on a target. The benefit of this approach is it allows sniper results with the free movement offered by a handgun.
 
i think i will be listening to Radio Los Santos, and Playback, but sadly i only read one tupac, i think there should be like 5 tupac songs. I was wondering if there is a rumour of lowrider bicyles i hope there are.
 
Thats cool! cheers for the info donbenni!.

Also some new info from Gamespot.

GameSpot: Street Talking
GameSpot has just put up their newest article on "Street Talking", specifically, how CJ interacts with others in the game. It's interesting to see yet another new angle for character development much unlike the previous GTA's where your personality was defined by the game - not by you. It is showing more and more how important character development really is - which to me is quite a cool addition to the GTA series.

The article reveals that you can speak to any pedestrian, each of which will have their own opinion of you, commenting on your appearance - clothing, tattoos, fitness, etc. You can actually engage in conversations, being given the choice of responding positively, or negatively. Pedestrians even engage in conversations with each other, and if you listen carefully you might pick up on some useful information.

Click here for the full preview At GameSpot. There are also two new movies and several screenshots to check out while you're there. Just a reminder, while the movies require you to be a member of GameSpot - they only require the 'basic' account which is free.


Heres link to the screens!.
 
Interesting article, 60,000 different responses from pedestrians? Holy crap!

And in fact San Andreas was delayed, I think it was last month sometime. But the delay only pushed the game back one week, so it's nothing serious at all.

I hope there are towtrucks in the game in which you can control the boom and wheellift and pull cars around. That would be most awesomeness. I could start my own car repo business.

Towtruck is a confirmed side-mission.

Are you talking about the san andreas trailer #3? Why not just head over to Gametrailers.com ?

Actually, these movies are, like Ev0 said, Gamespot exclusives. The first two are a Police Chase (very good in my opinion, I enjoyed it) and a couple of stunts with that Racing Bike (this video is boring and pointless). The next two, which I haven't seen, deal with the pedestrian-CJ relationship and interaction.

Also, a very massive big [/b]CHEERS[/b] to everyone that posted new information. The information keeps rolling out and it's just amazing. I haven't even got through it all yet. I've just read the Street Talking article, and going through the new screenshots from that.

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

My Thoughts on Everything:
The Co-Operative mode is confirmed. I'm not sure how this will be played. No Split-Screen? I can imagine it, but it will be odd. I don't know what you could be doing. Hopefully the previously confirmed news about having to be a female co-operative member, is wrong. I doubt it, too. I think you would be Sweet, Cesar, Ryder or maybe just an simple OGF gang member.

I don't know how this will play out.

Maurice Chavez is the WCTR host? Hmm, well I never liked him in Vice City, I thought the show was quite childish to be honest. Hopefully he will improve his act. But, there's a couple of things I'd like to point out with this. Firstly, it says the show is "Gardening ith Maurice" (which is a bit of GTA 3 Chatterbox FM nostalgia). It also was confirmed that there would be more than 1 DJ for a few stations. Now, we've only seen 1 DJ confirmed for each station, except K-Jah West. I'm guessing there would be more, but these second DJs would not be the primary host. These 2 facts together lead me to believe that there will be multiple talk shows on the 1 station. Lazlow, in my best guess, will return. They're just hiding the information to make a massive suprise for the fans.

The Radio Station music list is great. K-DST will be something fun to listen to, but I will mostly listen to Radio:X, WCTR and K-Jah West.
Ev0's Update
Ken Rosenberg -> William Fichtner

Ken's back? Wow. I see Las Venturas for him.

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

Can I just say that was an outstanding update Ev0? VERY good job. You're becoming very good at these. I'm losing my spot here! :lol:
 
SPOILERS: OPM Review & New info!


421.jpg

Note: This news post contains full radio track listings and Voiceactor lists. If you don't want to know, don't read any further.

The Official Playstation Magazine (US) were first to review GTA: San Andreas, and it recieved Game of the Month with a whopping 5 out of 5. They also revealed tons of new information, including voiceactors, gameplay info, radio listings and an interview with the president of Rockstar Games, Sam Houser.

OPM confirmed the co-op feature, and revealed that 2 player rampages are possible. There are also many other 2-player activies in the game (Rampages come in two forms, on-foot, or in a car). We are also told that during 2-play, the screen is not split. In San Andreas, you have the ability to take photos with a camera, and store them on your memory card. The number of sotrable phots depends on the size of your memory card. CJ can also date other girls.

OPM: Why the jump to 3 cities? Why not just do a larger version of what you'd done before?

Sam Houser: We love L.A. and the whole gangbanging street culture. That time in L.A. is so important...

..to be honest, we were drawn to doing a city based on San Francisco because of the hills and all of the beautiful scenery with the bridges and Victorian Architecture. Once we'd decided to do that, it became clear that if you're doing L.A. and San Francisco, you can't not do Vegas.

Also heres a link to the Scans from the review its amazing!.

Be patient the scans are very large, i normally would try and find the quickest links but as far as i know these are the only ones on the net.

Meaning you can play that mission and just steal the towtruck?

R32, I believe EvO already posted those scans...

It means that it's just like the Firetruck, Taxi and Paramedic missions. You hop in (or "borrow) a Towtruck, and press R2 to start the side-mission. You will most likely go around assisting broken-down cars and returning them to the Towtruck base (possibly with the catch of a Time Limit, or not damaging the car any further).

Can I just say to the people that are saying this, that it's nice to warn, but this is essentially a Spoilers thread. :lol: Just don't post anything from people that are telling us things from the illegal copies, or warn before you link them.

My bad sorry. There good scans though apart from the flash in the middle of a couple though. And cheers for the links Klostaphobic as much as i want to look at them im not, they are from the leaked version and therefore will probably spoil the game to much, and they were obtained ilegally!.
 
Where did the guy get the game? Seems like he's taking the video from his bedroom.:odd:
 
I figured. Very bold of the guy. But I guess if you don't leak out your name or location you'll be fine?
 
I just saw GTA:SA commercial today on Comedy Central. The game looks absolutely incredible. I am totally getting this when it comes out.
 
Honestly, if I had the choice to have 2 player mission only or free roam i'd say free roam, and i'm happy to see that free roam is available.:)
