GTA San Andreas trailer--you in the jungle, baby

[Fei Ayanami]

Maybe anyone who cares as much as me has already seen this on their own, but the fine new San Andreas trailer looks too nice for me to keep myself from thrusting it upon everyone.

Go to http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/, click the movies link at the top, and check out the official trailer video. It shows all the cities, including the Las Vegas themed city which there isn't a section for on the site yet, and the neon lights look really cool.

And the trailer music was Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses, which I hope is an indication of the general quality of the soundtrack.

Seriously, check it out. It's a beautiful thing.

There's also a section up now about the San Francisco city (named San Fierro as I recall), and the big pointy building and Golden Gate Bridge look nice, as well as the huge mountain (for which there is a little video of an airplane flying around it).

I saw this a month ago and I ordered the game from gamestop.com this past week.

I cannot fuckng wait for this game.

Yeah the song owns.

[Fei Ayanami]

uh oh the video isn't new? oh well it's new to me! and hopefully to many others

[j0hn Ayanami]

You can't fault them on their production values, that's for damn sure.

It did look like there was a Dodge Magnum in there though... anyone else want to take a guess at the red hatchback with the 18" rims?

And what the hell is Easy-E doing in the game?

[Z?]

I'm almost wondering if "Welcome to the Jungle" might not also be a reference to the GTA reference in the E32K3 MGS3 trailer. ("This isn't some Grand Theft Auto. You are in the jungle. Go eat some snakes!")

[HKK]

ROFL that is such a good point.

[TheStrife]

This is the only game I'm looking forward to for what's left of the year.

[ruroken]

That's if you don't consider HL2 to be released by the end of this year, right?

[Erithial]

After watching this trailer for the first time yesterday I preordered the game.

[Cid]

I'm still hesitant to preorder this after GTA3 was the same shit after the second area and Vice City generally sucked shit. Looks cool, though.

[HKK]

Fei where on the site does it say movies? Because I don't see that anywhere on the site.

Because I don't think this was the trailer as before.

[WaWard]

This is the only game I'm looking forward to for what's left of the year.

you have shit taste in gaming

[HKK]

I agree ward.

O. This is the second trailer.

Holy shit. I want this game even more.

[TheStrife]

This is the only game I'm looking forward to for what's left of the year.

No other game interests me right now. And those that do I can't play because a. They're on platforms I don't own. b. I don't have a high end cpu to play them on. and c. don't have the cash to go apeshit on buying a ton of games. So suck it Ward.

[WaWard]

wtf you can look forward to games you have no means of playing. Look at me and HL2.

[TheStrife]

What's the point if you can't play them though?

Of course I look forward to HL2. I own both SP expansions, and used to modify the sounds and skill.cfg's to make the damage more realistic all the time.

I like to look forward to games I can actually play rather than just looking at screenshots and movies of them and cumming from afar.

[WaWard]

I kinda look forward to playing it... in 32 years. D:

I wish it was, I don't have any money right now

[Kokaku]

It looks like it's going to be a fun game. It's third on my fall/winter get list only because I don't have an Xbox though.

[WaWard]

Yeah, I'm definitely waiting for the box version of this.

[TheStrife]

X-Box and PC versions of this won't be available 'till what? April? May?

[WaWard]

I dun give a shit. I have enough to play this fall as it is.

[Fei Ayanami]

man I can't even imagine playing pc games

I have a 400 mhz pentium II
often riddled with viruses no less!

I can barely operate sg

[Lord Golbez]

I have 400 mhz celeron. OWNED. My computer sucks...

[HKK]

For a game like this, I wouldn't wait that long at all.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

[HKK]

I hate that fucking radio show. That guy pisses me off.

[the sniper]

Im a big fan of GTA and i own all the games from the first one to the vice city (i have them in PS and PS2).
but for San andres i'll wait for the Xbox version because the loading is faster the graphics are better and of course because I can put custom music in it.

[the 3rd child]

waiting for the xbox version because of faster loading times is a waste, they've already said that there is no loading time. only briefly going in and out of buildings.

[WaWard]

I'm waiting for the Xbox version for the inevitable cleaner graphics (and framerate), and custom soundtracks options. I don't need to play this game right now (no time + too many games to play), so I don't mind waiting. I'd also wait for the PC version for the free-targetting controls if I had a PC that could run it, but I don't, so I'll settle with the Xbox version.

And if the graphics do turn out cleaner/faster on GTA:SA ps2, well, by the time the Xbox version hits, it'll be cheaper, and I'll probably grab that version instead.

[HKK]

I didn't even know it was announced for xbox, I thought they just announced it for ps2 and pc.

[WaWard]

It was hinted at, and it will obviously happen, given the good sales of the double pack, black man.

[the 3rd child]

I can't believe how much more they're pulling out of the same goddamn engine...

click here to go to the official faq on the ign board. it's a huge list of everything known of about the game.

[WaWard]

It's nice that they'll use some of the controls from ManHunt for this.

[the 3rd child]

I can't believe EVERY pedestrian has a unique lifecycle. It says if you were to follow one you would see that he comes out of his house in the morning, goes to work or to the store, meets up with friends, etc. That's crazy to me. I can't believe how much they're putting into this.

Goddamn. I've wanted that feature in my rpgs for YEARS.

I've already started stalking pedestrians, stealing cars and killing cops in preparation for this game

[TheStrife]

This game is

lol

Less than a month left to go..

[Magnus]

Yo bitches, word from M$ at work is that the X-Box version's due for March.

Mind you, I'm going to be all over the PS2 version between October and then, but I know what I'll be swapping for when spring comes around. The X-Box GTAs made playing the games so much more fun -- cleaner graphics, higher resolution, reduced loading times/faster saves, and the best difference, driving with the triggers instead of the PS2's shoulder buttons. It's so much more satisfying.

[HKK]

Pssh. I'm buying ps2 version. Fuck xbox version.

But gta on xbox is really that good? But let's see with San Andreas, it looks to me like they took care of all that stuff you just mentioned for ALL of the versions. Except the shoulder buttons thing (I really never cared) So I care not.

[WaWard]

You don't even have an xbox loser

[HKK]

My roommate does!

they say that, but when you actually see it executed it will more than likely be very lame.

[TheStrife]

What was wrong with driving with the shoulder buttons? The only thing you "drove" with was the R1 button for your E-brake and L2/R2 for drive-bys.

I actually prefer the E-brake on R1 as I switch it to that when I play any other types of driving/ GTA clone games.

what makes you say that?

[Magnus]

Strife, nothing was wrong with them, I just got a far better sensation of driving from using triggers.

what's supposed to be ultra exciting about it? it's just a little thing that makes the pedestrians more interesting than they were in the other gta games

[j0hn Ayanami]

E-braking through heavy traffic and pedestrians = fun with drift.
