Early this morning, Rockstar released the first plot summary of GTA: SA, which confirmed its early 1990s millieu. Here it is verbatim:

"Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas...a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers.

Now, it's the early 90s. Carl's got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster.

On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets."

All the information released by Rockstar indicates that the controversial Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has not lost the rough-and-ready nature of its predecessors. GameSpot will have more details on this highly anticipated title--which is due in Q4 2004--as they become available.
 
Sounds excellent. ;)

Early 90's. When was GT3 based on again? I'd love to see those modernish cars again.
 
GTA III was in the 90s too.

So San Andreas is a state? That'll be a freaking huge map.

I kind of didn't want to know the story of the game yet, but oh well.
 
GTA III was in the 90s too.

GTA3 was technically in the present...which was the late 90's but it's still counted as being set in the present.
