I've seen in some GTA SA website (forgot which one), and it had the songs that will be featured on some of the radio stations, the thing that I have notice it didn't list any metal song. If there isn't any metal songs, then the radio station will really suck. Even if Slayer isn't on there, they should at least include some metal songs. So....

Anyone know if there will be any metal in San Andreas?
 
Maybe R* is against metal?:p If they haven't been listed then I doubt there will be any.
 
Sorry to disapoint you, but at this point it looks highly unlikely that there will be any metal in the game, but it's not ruled out yet. There are still 10-15 songs that have yet to be confirmed apparently, but I would guess that Grunge would make up most of the missing songs, seeing how it's not anywhere on the current soundtrack list.
 
There's some metal on Radio:X if you look.

Faith No More, Danzig, Helmet, Alice in Chains. And they're all far better than Slayer.
 
HOLY ****!

What happens if 1 player goes the opposite direction?
Nevermind.

Thank you god! R* has done the possible! 👍 :drool: :drool: :odd:
 
I can just see it now, you and your best buddy, tearing it up in GTA, if only I got a girl....It'd be bonnie and clyde.

Thank you god! R* has done the possible! 👍 :drool: :drool: :odd:

And parachuting!

Ask this guy to show a bit more! 👍
 
There's been a huge amount of new info. Since I'm on 56k those pics are too pic for me to read through. I want to know the info but they're too big, maybe if someone would be so kind to send me a PM with the main points of the article.

Cheers!
 
Just need someone to confirm something for me. Is two player available throughout the game, or just in certain missions?

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!.
I'm not looking either, for the exact same reasons.

Well they did say there would be a famous song from a famous Grunge band. Very obviously Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit." That's not on there. There is also yet to be a few more songs on most Radio Stations, my guess is some more famous songs. Also, I guessed earlier that Lazlow would be on WCTR along with Maurice Chavez. I'm pretty certain on this as they confirmed more than 1 DJ could be on various stations. Also, I don't think they would leave Lazlow out, even after Lazlow confirmed that he wanted a part in it.


Blake -- This was posted on GTAForums.com. It has the main points of the article:

BASE JUMPING
Learn to parachute at the flight school (it's like playing Pilotwings) and then grab a parachute pack and have some fun. Take a plane up over a city, land on top of a skyscraper, leap off the edge of it, and parachute down to the street.

IMPORT/EXPORT
Remember the car-smuggling business in Grand Theft Auto 2 on PS1? No? Go back and pick up a copy from the used bin in EB Games -- you'll probably find it for $5. You can relive the smuggling experience by purchasing a car dealership in San Fierro.

NOOKIE
Hooking up with the ladies is an important part of the game, and your sexiness will dictate how successful you are. The dates themselves are often very amusing, with romantically lit scenes of you wooing the ladies while cheesy music plays.

TRIATHLON
The game has running, swimming, and biking gameplay mechanics, so what better way to take advantage of them than to include a full-on triathlon for you to enter? You'll need to hit the gym and crank up those stamina stats if you want to win.

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

These are going to be GREAT. Base Jumping will be some fun...wonder if the Cops try to bust you for doing it? Triathlon will be hard work, but something to train for. Dating will be awesome. I did not see that coming.

Some great stuff here. If there's anything else, can someone please post it as the articles are way too big for 56K.

Thanks.

Not known to me. Maybe it's somewhere in that article. Someone who read the article, can you please elaborate on this?

Thanks.

Sorry, don't understand what you're talking about.

High-Grade Weapons:
What would Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas be without weapons? Erm, Grand? With San Andreas just two days way, GTANet looks into what the game has to offer in terms of high grade firearms.

Firstly, we see the Vulcan Mini Gun. This frightening weapon delivers barrages of ammunition at a spectacular rate—designed to, literally DEMOLISH its target and its surroundings. Despite the immense size and weight of this firearm, it is portable enough to be carried on the streets of San Andreas. Police responding to incidents in which this weapon is used, are likely to call in SWAT teams to deal with the threat. A powerful weapon that offers unthinkable damage. Hold R1 to spin up the barrel and squeeze L1 to fire.

Next, we witness Heat Seeking RPGs—mainly, the STINGER. To put it simple, this weapon is, literally, the s---! Lightweight, portable and easy to handle—what more could one ask for? This shoulder-fired guided missile system is designed to take down low altitude aircraft—planes and helicopters to be specific. This firearm allows the player to lock onto a heat source, (usually a car or plane) fire the weapon, and begin aquiring new targets before the warhead has even destroyed the first target! To activate this process, bring up the targeting reticle by pressing R1 on your controller. 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.

Moving on, we have the M4, a modified version of the M-16, a weapon that we are all familiar with. This weapon contains a shortened stock and barrel, therefore making it more compact whilst still retaining the extreme force and accuracy of the M-16. This weapon provides the ability to pin-point your target with the highest possible accuracy, and target specific parts of the body or vehicles—for example you can target a vehicle's tires, or even gas tanks -- one well placed round of shots (aiming mainly for the gas cap) will cause any car in San Andreas to explode. Whilst shooting, try kneeling. Kneeling greatly increases the accuracy of this weapon, and even whilst doing so Carl has the ability to roll from side to side whilst holding the R1 button and pressing left or right on the left analog stick.

The Tec-9—a favourite amongst Los Santos street gangs. This popular firearm is one of the more interesting choices. The weapon is relatively cheap, and allows CJ to 'dual wield' it, levelling competition between rival street gangs during battle. Upon reaching the Hitman Skill Level, CJ can carry two weapons at once. Simply collect another weapon, and he will automatically hold two. At this stage, all of the ammunition between the firearms is shared, and reloading occurs automatically. Rate of fire is effectively doubled, good in cases where you want to kill someone, erm, fast.

Last but not least on our list is the Desert Eagle. It's like having the power of an artillery cannon in a small, easy to use package. Well, maybe not so easy to use, as in the hands of an inexperienced shooter, the recoil makes it almost impossible to keep a grip on. With a lot of practice and skill however, this .50 caliber beast becomes a bit more managable, and the reload speed and accuracy get a boost as well. This gun was first designed as a target/sport pistol, but the intense stopping power has made it a favorite amongst those who need to stop enemies dead in their tracks- generally with one nice shot. Not only does it work well using the auto-lock system, but players can use free aim to send .50 caliber slugs at opponents with sniper-like accuracy while retaining the mobility a handgun provides. Just hold R1, line up the sights, and, well, I'm sure you can imagine the rest...

I read this earlier today. Visit GTAGaming.com for the screenshots. But hurry, you might miss it as the information is just pouring in!
 
well in page 68 is this website posted -> http://www.infect3d.us/~g0npsy/gta_...ives/media.html
there are videos, if you look you'll see bmx2 with the others...
anyway what i mean is i seen couple of shooting in this clip and other clips and the frame rate seems low while shooting... so it looks sounds and feels choppy when you are shooting.. the animation that comes with firing (fire out the gun) is real weird (it animates very minimalistic)... look for yourself.
thats my point. hopefully its couse of that video format.
couse gunning must be smooth. :)

Awesome 👍
Just 5 days left :grumpy:
 
There are so many features to this game already and there's things that haven't been found yet. I am really impressed with the level of detail that Rockstar have implemented in this game.
 
It looked like another boring sequel until just now.

Well, that's almost definately to do with the video format. The only other possibility is what started to happen with my PS2 playing Vice City. I'm getting a new PS2, it's really screwed. But what happened is, the traffic (driving normally) started to lag. As in the cars would skip, as if it was MTA. Then went the action scenes. Then went the more populated scenes. It just went bad. I'm getting a PStwo now because of it. But I still think it's because .avi files aren't the best quality.

Is that above video Hks_Fanatic just posted what you are basing "cool" on? Because I seriously doubt you have seen 1/1000th of what the game has to offer.

Same here. It's just an outstanding game. It has really blown me away.
 
Lol. Okay, just drop that now. Post this argument in the Official Off-Topic GTA Thread if you wish to continue. ;)
 
Ok...
Just a quick one, has anyone heard anything bad from the pirate game players?
I odn't want to put a downer on teh game, I just thought it would be interesting.
 
So far I have heard absolutely nothing negative about the game at all. Anywhere.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. IGN is going to have a review up Monday.
