WOW, looks more stylish than the 2 first games together..  :o :o :o

Is this the PS2 screens.. ??
I assume it is, since Sony have a exclusive deal with Rockstar.
Rockstar sure knows how to up the ante.

Now heres a game IMO thats over-rated.  Don't get me wrong, the game looks good, but not that good.  In all the GTA games, you're a criminal who's working his way up the crime ladder, trying to become the boss.  IMO the only thing that made the GTA games worth playing was the ability to steal cars and drive em...thats it.

Oh well...at the end of the day it's all about what kind of games you like to play.  A PS2 person would say the best game is GTA VC or GTA 3, an Xbox person would say the best game is Halo, and a PC person would say Half Life.  I'm all about FPS's, which is probably why I think the GTA series is like beating a dead horse.

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

"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 indicate that the controversial Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has not lost the rough-and-ready nature of its predecessors. GameSpot will have more on this highly anticipated title--which is due in Q4 2004--as they become available.

I didn't compare Halo to GTA in this post, you "fucking moron".  Read what I wrote...

In the other post, I compared Halo 2's graphics to GTA:SA's graphics.  It doesn't matter what kind of game it is (action, rpg, racing, etc...), graphics are graphics in any game.  GTA San Andreas CANNOT compare to Halo 2's graphics...Halo 2's graphics are far superior.

But I guess you don't need good graphics when you're playing a pointless game like this.

They improve lil on graphics and not alot on the actual game in Vice City.  Will this one be the same?  3 and vice city were pretty much the same except for a few lil things. PLus Vice City was even easier than the Gta3.  AFter you finish the game...driving around and doing shit gets boring after a while.  Just cuz u have freedom of doing whatever, it doesnt make it entertaining

Especially in Halo. Unless you were outside, all the places you were in looked EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME. Got boring as FUCK.

And I don't care how overrated this may be or how much they're doing the same thing as before - you can't fucking stop me from getting this. Both screenshots and the artwork look dope as fuck. Plus it's set in the timeframe when it was all about that West Coast gangsta shit. I've seen only three screenshots and I'm hyped as fuck. Lowriders - both cars and bikes - dope dope dope. Looks like this title is gonna be full of attitude. I'm all for that.

i like how some people's arguement is that GTA just get a graphical upgrade but everything else stays them same....and they base this off of a handful of halo 2 and GTA: SA pics.

so far in the Halo 2 pics i see maybe one or two new skins, upgraded graphics, a new weapon and new maps.....

in the GTA pics i see upgraded graphics, improved driveby's, new vehicles, new characters and new maps

why are people argueing over 2 games that are totally different in complexion and context.  Dumbasses.  maybe if you where arguing GTA vs. True Crime or Halo Vs. Quake you would be on point but your can't compare a 3rd person shoot em up to a game like GTA.  So stupid.

Post by: R-Tistic on May 13, 2004, 03:13:23 PM
FOr those that don't know, it is called San Andreas because L.A. is on the San Andreas fault. I heard they were makin this game before True Crime, Streets of L.A., but it is going to be very interesting comparing these two games, especially bein from L.A. But I am two sided on this issue...in my "immature" fun side, I am happy as hell that this game is gonna be set in my hometown, and it'll be interesting comparing things in the game to things that are in L.A. and drivin around. At the same time, my "mature" serious side is totally against this. Not only am I tired of the stereotypes about us, but I know that black adults are gonna hate this game, mainly those from L.A. I just hope they don't make it where all the black neighborhoods are bad and have a lot of overexaggerated violence like most L.A. movies have, but then make all the white neighborhoods perfect with no crime, because I read some of the plot and some of it was suspect. That's just how I see it, bein that I am from a black L.A neighborhood but I know how much overexagerrated it is because of gangsta rap and movies and I am startin to outgrow that.

because they're not totally different and it's easier to compare these two titles than say final fantasy XII and grand tourismo,

it's supposed to take place in San Fransico... because in the story they say you're originally from Los Santos (the saints instead of the angels) and also in the first GTA San Andreas and that mimicked san fransisco

exactly. take your xbox propaganda shit to some nerdy star wars convention where you get to dress up as the princess.

(http://cs.ecs.baylor.edu/~wegner/images/nerd.jpg)

as for the game. im sure its going to be a big improvement gameplay wise. i dont really care if the graphics are the same its improvements im looking for. basically these things

Guns, Cars, Buildings to purchase, i want a fucking bicycle! and everything else

you could purchase businesses.

taxi company, apartment buildings, dance clubs, that one place with the printing place that makes counterfeit money, and dealership.

and GTA has a fucking cool soundtrack, correct me if im wrong but halos music sucks

why would they have 80s, hip hop, rock songs on Halo?! That would be fucken stupid.

Halo's soundtrack fits Halo.

Gameplay can still be improved.  A good example is the madden series.

I don't see how...The Los Santos makes sense, but San Andreas fault is Los Angeles County's fault, and lookin at the pictures and plot, it couldn't be ANYWHERE ELSE but L.A. The Watts towers, gangbangers, lowriders, etc etc that is L.A. all the way.
